Infiniti G35 Brakes and Rotors

Re: Not happy with 2005 g35x [g35lemon]

the early G35s and FXs were notoriously bad when it came to rotors and brake pads: actually, in the beginning of 2003 or 2004 it wasn't covered under warranty and Infiniti was sued and forced to cover rotors and brakes under warranty because of the amount of people having problems with them and complaining: I had a 2005 FX35 that needed the rotors resurfaced and ...

Infiniti G35 Care and Maintenance

Re: Compression Rod Bushing on a 2004 Infi G35 [pfreak76]

I assume it's a wheel alignment. Almost anytime you touch/remove/replace a suspension component in the front end, you have probably changed the alignment and it needs to be brought back into spec. Sure, you could have the wheel alignment done anywhere. I do not know if G35's have any peculiarities that would require the alignment be done by an infiniti dealer ... Read More...

You're probably stuck with the price of the part since that probably has to come from Infiniti. $130 labor is only 2 hours, which sounds dirt cheap to me, especially if that includes an alignment. Read More...

I have a 2004 G35 coupe. It is without a doubt the most troublesome, problematic car either me or my wife has ever owned. I purchased it in early 07 with only 25,000 miles. Since a month after purchase I have had problems after problem. It's never ending with this car. It started a month after purchase with the power locks. Then it was the speakers, the CD changer, the ... Read More...

Sounds very promising. Other than breaks and tires.. did you incur any major costs? Should I be worried about anything? I just got a 750Li Beamer and I am paranoid about potentially paying premium maintainence costs for the Infiniti (Beamers eat you up on maintainence). Thanks Read More...

Infiniti G37 Lease Questions

Re: G37 Journey w/Premium Lease [lauraloo]

Written by: sam_k on Mar 24, 2009 01:45 PM

I agree with johninnj. Definitely don't use any equity that you built up in your 2004 G35 coupe as a down payment on the lease. You never want to put any money down on a lease including the taxes because if the car is totalled or stolen, you don't get of that money back. With a lease, the leasing company is the owner of record, not you so your insurance company will pay ... Read More...

Written by: pscheid on Mar 20, 2009 07:44 AM

The possible causes are numerous. I had a Mercury Sable about 15 years ago that developed the same symptom. It was about 5 years old with about 50K miles if I recall correctly. The car would start easily, but it was slow on the uptake when blipping the throttle in nuetral. Couldn't coax 30 miles per hour out of it on the road. Turned out to simply be the catalytic convertor ... Read More...
