Common Infiniti I35 problems
The Infiniti I35 is known for its luxurious features and high-performance capabilities. However, like any vehicle, it can experience common issues that owners should be aware of. Here are some of the most frequently reported problems with the Infiniti I35, based on owner complaints and feedback:
- Air Conditioning Issues: Some owners have reported problems with the car's air conditioning system, including issues with the compressor, refrigerant leaks, and damaged condensers. Regular maintenance and inspections of the air conditioning system can help prevent these issues.
- Electrical Issues: Electrical problems are among the most common issues reported by I35 owners, with alternator and starter issues being particularly prevalent. Faulty batteries, charging system problems, and blown fuses are also common electrical issues. Regular maintenance and inspections of the electrical system can help prevent these issues.
- Suspension Issues: Suspension issues, including problems with the struts, shocks, and sway bar, are also common in the I35. These issues can affect the car's handling and ride quality, and can be caused by wear and tear or damage to the suspension components.
- Brake Issues: Brake issues are another area of concern for I35 owners, with brake pads and rotors often requiring replacement sooner than expected. These issues can affect the car's stopping power and safety, and should be addressed promptly.
- Power Steering Issues: Power steering problems, including issues with the steering rack, can also be an issue in the I35. These issues can affect the car's handling and steering, and can be caused by wear and tear or damage to the power steering components.
- Exhaust System Issues: The I35's exhaust system can also be prone to problems, including issues with the catalytic converter and exhaust leaks. These issues can affect the car's performance and fuel efficiency, and can be caused by wear and tear or damage to the exhaust components.
- Cooling System Issues: Cooling system issues, such as problems with the radiator and thermostat, have also been reported in the I35. These issues can affect the car's engine performance and safety, and should be addressed promptly.
- Interior and Exterior Issues: Some I35 owners have reported various interior and exterior issues, including problems with the car's audio system, seats, and trim. These issues can affect the car's comfort and appearance, and should be addressed promptly.
In summary, while the Infiniti I35 is generally a reliable car, it has its share of common issues that potential buyers should be aware of before making a purchase. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to any issues that arise can help keep the car running smoothly for years to come.

Infiniti I35 2004
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-08
- Date Complaint: 2024-02-08
- VIN: JNKDA31A74T
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The red airbag light on the instrument panel IS on. I have taken the car to the infinity dealer and they say a sensor is out and would be $800 to $1000 to repair. It seems the airbag system should be warranted as long as the car is registered. The mfg book says if this light is on the airbag may inflate, not inflate when needed, just not work. I am concerned, I do not want the bag to inflate as I or my wife is driving. This not a very good safety system if can go out from just one sensor it seems it should have a redundant system for this.This is a safety issue that seems infinity should have to fix especially with the problem with airbags. I do not want my wife or I to be a statistic for a bad airbag system.

Infiniti I35 2003
- Date Of Incident: 2021-01-09
- Date Complaint: 2021-06-14
- VIN: JNKDA31A83T
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
- Summary: Camshaft sensor according to the Infiniti dealership (Ray Brandt on Causeway in Metairie La.) Is malfunctioning at makes the car engine die while driving. Then when you restart the car the engine revs fine in neutral but once in drive it won't go over 5 mph. Also the timing chain tensioner fails on this car and can cause severe engine damage while the car is being driven. I've looked up both of these problems and have spoken with Nissan and Infiniti and a simple internet search will also confirm that these 2 problems are extremely common on this 5th generation engine. Nissan even lost 2 class action lawsuits on the timing tensioner. Well if Nissan lost 2 court battles over an engine defect that every Nissan internet forum says is a very very common problem then why isn't there a recall. And shouldn't hazing headlights be a safety issue on ALL cars? Almost all cars have this problem and manufacturers keep building cars with UNSAFE headlights. Why aren't these recalls? Thank you for this website. As an American Citizen and consumer with a daughter these safety concerns are very troubling to me and all my friends and business associates.

SCENARIOS VARY: 60 MPH ON FREEWAY, SITTING AT RED LIGHT, UPON ACCELERATION, GOING 5 MPH, AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DRIVE TIME, AFTER DAYS OF DRIVE TIME, ... THERE IS NO PATTERN OR PETICULAR ACTION THAT CAUSES IT. IT IS VERY SCARY & DANGEROUS TO ME & ALL AROUND ME. NOW I HAVE A GREAT CAR IN LIKE NEW CONDITION WITH ONLY 100,000 MILES, PAID FOR, THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE WITH NO MONEY OR CONTINUE TO ENDANGER MYSELF & OTHERS. I AM FURIOUS. !!!!

Vehicle year: 2002
This is a great car! It's been my trusty companion for 3 years now, and despite having driven 130,000 miles, I've only had a few minor issues. The gas mileage is pretty good, and with 255 hp, it's incredibly fast. The car is very well built and looks nice too. I think Infiniti is a fantastic car brand, and I even think they should consider making an I45 - I bet it would be a beast!
-
Vehicle year: 2002
The car boasts a powerful and seamless 255hp V6 engine, excellent handling, high quality and affordability, abundant standard features, and a luxurious and inviting interior. All of this comes with the added benefit of the Infiniti name and exceptional service.

Vehicle year: 2004
I originally purchased this car for my wife, but I must admit, I am now coveting some of the features of her much newer near-luxury car! The car provides a quiet and comfortable ride, with enough amenities to keep most people happy (even though we opted for a model without navigation). The interior is spacious and well-designed, while the exterior is handsome, if not necessarily eye-catching. The car has ample power, but it is more of a boulevard cruiser than a sports car, so don't expect to fly around corners (that's what the MR2 is for).

The I-35 is a terrific car. Bought it used and have owned it for three years. It drives great and is extremely reliable. I highly recommend this vehicle for someone looking for a great used car!

Vehicle year: 2003
After owning two Q45's, I decided to give my husband the last one and get a smaller, sportier car for myself. I am a realtor and drive for business, and I must say, I absolutely love this car! It has all the luxury of the Q, but in a smaller version. The comfort, style, and ease of driving are unparalleled, and the equipment is top-notch. The dash is especially great, as it tells me exactly how many more miles I have before I need to fill up. The navigation system is also a must-have for my work, and it makes my life so much easier. I chose the I35 over the Lexus due to my past experiences with Infinity. It is a dependable car with great services, free car washes, and I have never had a problem with it.
Are you having problems with your Infiniti I35?
Quentin Pfannerstill 2024-11-18

The quality of this car does not live up to the standards that Infiniti has been advertising. Despite having driven it for a year, I have experienced numerous issues such as rattling, wind noise, a cocked steering wheel, out-of-round tires, a faulty compass, and poor dealership services. As a result, I am considering selling it.
Paul Glover 2024-09-19

The sunroof may require attention, and the dashboard and windscreen may produce some noise in colder weather, but these minor issues do not detract from the overall quality of the ride. The clock visibility at night time could be improved, and the speakers for the audio system are average.
Johan Greenholt 2024-08-10
Vehicle year: 2003
I noticed that the ride feels unresponsive and there seems to be too much play in the wheel. I was wondering why a 255HP vehicle has front-wheel drive as it feels a bit weird. Additionally, I found that the headlights come on automatically a bit too soon.
Madison Will 2024-06-13

This car has had multiple issues with its electrical, gas, sun roof, heating and cooling systems, as well as window problems. Despite having 121,000 miles, it has required significant repairs, including the replacement of motor mounts. While I purchased it from a used car lot with good reviews, I have learned that buying a second-hand car can be risky. Despite the challenges, I have invested $1500 in repairs to keep the car running. Although it has been a difficult experience, I have learned a lot about car maintenance and ownership.
Toy Keebler 2024-06-06
Vehicle year: 2003
I bought this car almost 5 years ago because I had heard so many great things about Infiniti. The first 3 years were good, but then I started having issues with low oil and unfortunately, they were never able to diagnose the problem. Now, with only 87000 miles, the engine has failed. This is definitely not what I expected from a car dealer with such a great reputation for quality. Unfortunately, my experience with their customer satisfaction department was not satisfying at all, and as a result, I have decided to purchase a BMW instead.
