Recalls list

The Infiniti G Line is a series of compact executive cars manufactured and marketed by Infiniti, a luxury division of Nissan, for the 1991–1996 and 1999–2016 model years — across four generations.

The first two generations of the Infiniti G (P10 and P11) were sedans based on the Nissan Primera. Beginning with its third generation (V35), the Infiniti G have been rebadged versions of the Nissan Skyline line of sedans and coupes that were exported to the United States and Canada. The fourth generation (V36) introduced the hardtop coupe convertible. The Nissan FM platform, used with the third and fourth generations (V35 and V36) of the Infiniti G, also underpins the Nissan 370Z and has shared components with the Infiniti M, Infiniti EX, and Infiniti FX.

Infiniti established a new naming convention beginning with the 2014 model year; all passenger cars are designated by the letter "Q," while sport-utility model names begin with "QX." The Infiniti G was to have been replaced by the Infiniti Q50, but the G37 was revived as the Q40 beginning with the 2015 model year.

Common 2005 Infiniti G35 problems

Based on the complaints from owners of the 2005 Infiniti G35, several common problems have been identified:

Spark Plugs Oil Contamination: One common issue reported is oil contamination on spark plugs due to faulty valve cover seals. This problem typically occurs after a certain mileage, leading to engine performance issues.
Excessive Oil Consumption: Owners have experienced higher oil consumption, often linked to piston ring problems. While there may be Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) addressing this issue for manual transmission cars, it can also affect automatic transmissions.
Ticking Noise: Some owners have reported a ticking noise, which may require a window fix to resolve. This issue can be bothersome but is not typically a major concern for the vehicle's overall performance.
Radio/AC Control Issues: While radio and AC control issues were more prevalent in 2003 models, some 2005 Infiniti G35s have also experienced problems with these components. This can lead to difficulties in controlling cabin temperature and fan speed.
Rear Axle Click: Another common problem is a clicking noise from the rear axle, which has been addressed under Technical Service Bulletins. While it may not affect the vehicle's drivability significantly, it can be an annoyance for owners.
Seat Power Motor Failures: Issues with power seat motors, particularly the passenger side, have been reported. This can lead to discomfort and inconvenience for the driver or passengers.
Battery Issues: Some owners have faced battery-related problems, including explosions and drain issues caused by faulty components like the radio. These issues can result in unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
Compression Rod Replacements: The need for replacing compression rods has been noted by some owners, with updated parts proving to be more reliable over time.
IPDM Module Replacement: In rare cases, the IPDM module has required replacement, causing unexpected breakdowns. While uncommon, this issue can lead to significant inconvenience for owners.
A/C Compressor Noise: Noisy A/C compressors have been reported, although they still function properly in terms of cooling. Replacing the compressor has been effective in resolving the noise issue.

These common problems highlight the importance of regular maintenance and prompt attention to any emerging issues to ensure the longevity and reliability of the 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan.
