Chevrolet G35 problems
The Chevrolet Van or Chevy Van (also known as the Chevrolet/GMC G-series vans and GMC Vandura) is a range of vans that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1964 to 1996 model years. Introduced as the successor for the rear-engine Corvair Corvan/Greenbrier, the model line also replaced the panel van configuration of the Chevrolet Suburban. The vehicle was sold both in passenger van and cargo van configurations as well as a cutaway van chassis that served as the basis for a variety of custom applications.
Produced across three generations (1964–66, 1967–70, and 1970–96), the model line was sold under a wide variety of model names under both the Chevrolet and GMC brands. The first two generations were forward control vehicles (with the engine placed between the seats); the third generation adopted a configuration placing the engine forward of the driver. The second and third generations shared powertrain commonality with the C/K pickup truck model line.
After the 1996 model year, GM retired the G-Series vans, replacing them with the GMT600-platform Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana.

Common Chevrolet G35 problems
The Chevrolet G35, also known as the Infiniti G35, is a popular sports sedan known for its performance and luxury features. However, like any vehicle, it can experience common problems based on complaints from owners. Here are some of the most common issues with the Chevrolet G35, based on search results:
- Malfunctioning Crankshaft Angle Sensor or Camshaft Position Sensor: A number of Infiniti G35 vehicles released from 2003-2008 were reported to have a malfunctioning crankshaft angle sensor or camshaft position sensor. This issue can cause a noticeable loss of engine power and serious drivability issues due to the faulty part. Nissan issued a recall for some of the affected model years due to a manufacturing error on the crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor, which caused the engine to stop running abruptly.
- Steering Rack Leaking: The most-reported problem with the 2003 Infiniti G35 is steering rack leaking. This issue can cause the steering to feel loose or unresponsive, and can lead to a loss of control while driving. The average cost to fix this problem is $3,400, and it is most commonly reported at an average mileage of 10,000 miles.
- Check Engine Light and Drivability Issues: Some owners of the 2007 Infiniti G35 have reported experiencing a check engine light and drivability issues. These problems can include the engine shutting off while driving, and the car feeling like it is just idling or coasting. These issues can be caused by a faulty sensor, such as the left throttle body, and can be resolved by replacing the faulty part.
In conclusion, while the Chevrolet G35 is a popular and well-regarded sports sedan, it can experience common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues can include faulty interior accessories, malfunctioning crankshaft angle sensors or camshaft position sensors, steering rack leaking, and check engine light and drivability issues. If you are considering purchasing a Chevrolet G35, it is important to be aware of these potential problems and to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic before making a purchase.
