2006 Infiniti G35 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“While driving, in traffic, the vehicle failed to accelerate. Cars behind me were at a safe enough distance that I could put on my hazard lights and restart the car. This, also, happens when trying to start the car a.m. Or p.m. (with the vehicle being parked): it fails to start. The vdc and slip light comes on. This continues to happen.”

“I have a 2006 Infiniti G35 and the idler pulley on the car has failed once before and it is occurring again. The car has 10,500 miles on it. The first one failed at 7500 miles of use. The dealer told me that this is a common failure in these cars. They replaced the first one under warranty and the car is now out of warranty.”

“At ~7,900mi, I took my G35 coupe 6mt to Infiniti dealership when I started hearing a knocking noise and noticed that the check engine light would come up every few times a week. I was called in 4 more times after that (every 1,000mi) specifically for oil-level testing. The dealership received an approval to replace the engine, and at 14,500mi, after just about 6 months, I drove out with a new one (10102-ac7m9). I was told to go easy for the initial 12-15k. After driving about 1000mi now, I am running low on oil. I just checked it myself. …”

“Engine consumes 2.5 qrts oil every 800 miles & only 19-20 miles per gal gas and this decreases with oil consumption. Clutch assy faulty/ grinding noise increased with mileage ,windows have binding noise up/down, passenger air bag light does not illuminate when seat is occupied or unoccupied.”

“Clutch pedal does not return to proper placement under normal driving. Clutch pedal sticks and changes engagement point. Suspected faulty clutch master cylinder.”
