2005 Infiniti G35 Steering Problems

“Made a right turn onto a round about street and when I tried to turn left my steering wheel locked straight like if the car was parked. The wheels wouldn't turn and I hit a parked truck where a person was working on. He did get injured but I am not aware of the exact injuries he sustained. I was driving a 2005 G35 sedan which I've had for around 4 months.”

“Approximately 3 months ago I purchased a 2005 Infiniti G35 for my daughter. Two weeks ago the car began to shut completely down while she was driving it with no warning whatsoever - regardless of speed. There would be a complete loss of power, including power steering, so it would be difficult for her to get the car off the road before attempting to restart it. This problem has continued to occur at random every time the car is driven creating a very dangerous situation; particularly, for a teenage driver. …”

“My 2005 Infiniti G35 unexpectedly shut off while I was driving it today. Thankfully, I was not on the freeway at the time. The service engine soon, vdc off, and slip lights all came on. I tried to restart the car, and only after multiple attempts (about five) did the car start, and I was able to park in a safe place. Something very similar happened with this car in july 2010. After the july 2010 incident, I had to replace a couple of sensors, which cost over $1,000. I did not expect to have to relive the experience of having my car shut off without warning while driving. …”

“I purchased a 2005 G35 coupe in july of 2005. Since taking receipt of the vehicle the car has pulled right. This occurs on all road surfaces and is more pronounced at higher speeds. The dealer told me the car was aligned to factory specifications. Then they changed out the tires and wheels with ones from a loaner car that didn't pull (and had similar miles). Then they told me it was due to road crown. The last time (4th) time I took it in they said all Infiniti's pull to the right. A quick survey among four other Infiniti owners at work revealed that none of their infinitis pull right. …”

“The contact owns a 2005 Infiniti G35. While driving 30 MPH, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact was unable to engage the brakes and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.”
