Common 2004 Infiniti I35 problems
The Infiniti I35, produced between 2002 and 2004, is known for its luxurious features and comfortable ride. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems that owners should be aware of.
One of the most significant issues with the 2004 Infiniti I35 is with the transmission. Many owners reported problems with the transmission, including slipping gears and rough shifting. Some owners even experienced complete transmission failure, which could be a costly repair. The transmission issues could be caused by a faulty solenoid, low transmission fluid levels, or a damaged torque converter. Regular maintenance and inspections of the transmission could help prevent these issues.
Another common issue with the 2004 Infiniti I35 is with the fuel system. Some owners reported problems with the fuel pump, which could cause the engine to stall or not start at all. The issue could also cause the car to stop running while driving, which could be dangerous. The fuel pump could be replaced, but it was a costly repair that could be avoided with regular maintenance of the fuel system.
The 2004 Infiniti I35 also has some reported issues with the air conditioning system. Some owners reported that the air conditioning would stop working, which could be frustrating during the hot summer months. The issue could be caused by a faulty compressor or a refrigerant leak. Regular maintenance of the air conditioning system could help prevent these issues.
In addition to these issues, some owners of the 2004 Infiniti I35 have reported problems with the power steering system. The power steering pump could fail, causing a loss of power steering and making it difficult to steer the car. The issue could also be caused by a damaged power steering hose or low power steering fluid levels. Regular maintenance and inspections of the power steering system could help prevent these issues.
Some owners of the Infiniti I35 have also reported problems with the car's electrical system. Alternator and starter issues are particularly prevalent, as well as problems with the car's suspension, including problems with the struts, shocks, and sway bar. Brake issues, such as brake pads and rotors requiring replacement sooner than expected, are also common. Power steering problems, including issues with the steering rack, can also be an issue. The i35's exhaust system can also be prone to problems, including issues with the catalytic converter and exhaust leaks. Cooling system issues, such as problems with the radiator and thermostat, have also been reported.
Overall, 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.

2024-02-08
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 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.

2004 Infiniti I35 recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 3 recalls for different components of the 2004 Infiniti I35.
2020-01-09
- Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
- Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
- Summary: Nissan North America, Inc.

The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
- Consequence: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators with alternate desiccated inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 888-737-9511 or Infiniti customer service at 888-810-3715.

These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
- Consequence: An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2017. All owners should receive a second notice by May 15, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Are you having problems with your 2004 Infiniti I35?
Trey Stark 2024-11-18
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).
Jerry Jast 2024-10-14
After much research in looking at the entry level luxury sedan market, I couldn't find a better deal than the '04 I-35.Though inside/outside are outdated, I still like that Maxima styling and the interior looks rich. My wife and I love to drive the car. A great blend of luxury and performance. The engine rocks, having the horsepower to get up and go from a stop as well as passing on the highway with ease. The Bose stereo system is the worst "deluxe" sound system I've had in any of my vehicles. Poor sounding speakers,woofer that constantly buzzes with noise. I've also incurred a few door dings...seems to have very soft sheetmetal.

This car is amazing! It's so smooth, luxurious, and beautiful. I've already put on over 500 miles in less than a week because I find myself looking for excuses to drive it. The satellite radio is fantastic and I love how the dash is laid out. The trip button on the heated steering wheel gives me all the information I need, including outside air temperature, MPG, miles till empty, average speed, and current MPG. The navigation system works perfectly. Overall, this car handles incredibly well and is an absolute joy to drive!

Great power and response. The sound system is fantastic and very quiet. The 'bells and whistles' are well thought out and add to the comfort.

I have had it for two weeks now and I always look for excuses to go for a ride and take it out on the road. The car has a lot of power and I usually win the race across the intersection. It is comfortable on all types of roads. I considered the new Maxima and Altima but I liked the way the I35 handled and the way it felt when I drove it. I absolutely love the whole car.
