| The third brake light on the rear deck has failed for no apparent reason. the car will not pass inspection. they want several hundred dollars to replace the entire unit. i have researched online and found this is a voluminous problem for this model year. it was recalled and addressed by infiniti for the 2003 model year g and it is still a problem for the 2004 year. this needs to be recalled and fixed accordingly at the manufacturer cost. all these owners are not having the same failing issues without cause. i own two 2004 infiniti g35 sedans. i used to love both of them. this one has problems with the brake light and now the airbag light is mysteriously blinking for no reason! the other one has had issues for years with being able to put gas in and i have had problems at the gas station trying to fill the car! ridiculous! if infiniti doesn't do something ... i'll be switching makers. this one listed also has fuel presure regulator/damper failures ... while my other '04 g (with over 200,000 miles on it) has none. explain that. i live the real ... between two of the same model year. fix the problems infiniti! | |||

| Car was being driven at about 65mph when it lost power and the vdc, slip and check engine soon lights all came on the car regain power but at less amount and was hard to start. was taken to dealer. and was found to need a cam pos sensor. if this loss of power happen when passing on a 2 lane road i may not be writing this . the 2003 models had a recall i think this model needs one to. the cost was over 350.00. *tr | |||

| Yesterday, july 9, 2012, while driving under normal conditions on a main city street the engine on my 2004 infiniti g35 just stopped running. lost power steering and power brakes. managed to manually steer the car off the road into a parking lot. the vdc off and slip lights and the check engine soon lights came on. i turned off the ignition and just sat there, stunned, for a few minutes. i decided to try to start it up again, and it did start and sounded ok, so i slowly drove it on home. after doing some research online for the next hour, i kind of figured it might be this defective cam position sensor, as the symptoms my car displayed sounded just like what so many others were describing, plus inifiniti and nissan had a recall for this very problem issued on the 2003 g35. i completely agree with others that the 2004 g35 should be under this same recall. this is an extremely dangerous situation to be driving and suddenly, without warning, lose all engine power. i will add that later that evening i had to go somewhere, so i took a chance that it would make it. it quit on me twice in the area around my home within 10 blocks. so, obviously i cannot take this car very far from home without getting this repaired and replaced. i took it to autozone today to have them find out the code for the check engine soon light. it's what i suspected, 0340, which is the passenger side cam position sensor. the very thing on the 2003 inifiniti g35 model recall. *tr | |||

| I had the exact same symptoms, and the dealer recommended the same parts to be replaced as affected by an earlier recall: recall id# 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling recall date: nov 17, 2003 model affected: infiniti g35 summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process. consequence: this could cause the service engine soon warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash. remedy: dealers will replace the crank position sensors. camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. the replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. owner notification began on december 22, 2003. owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or infiniti at 1-800-662-6200. potential units affected: 630000 | |||

| The infiniti g35 2004 model will completely shut off when driving the car. i found out that the cam shaft sensor was the issue and the 2003 model had a recall however the 2004 does not. this issue is very concerning since the car will shut off while one is driving. this is a danger to other individuals on the road as well as the individuals driving the car. | |||

| On march 11 my 2004 infinity g35x experienced a complete alarming system failure. the power steering failed, the brakes failed, in fact every component not running on the battery failed. the dash warning lights looked like christmas lights. i was driving at the time. fortunately i was on a side street, and not a highway. the dealer diagnosed a p-0340 code and replaced bank 1, cam sensor. this vehicle has just over 41,000 miles and is out of the warranty period. i noticed on-line that this part was part of a voluntary recall in model years 2003 and 2005, but not my year, but also that the failures reported were at approximately the same mileage as my vehicle. this could have resulted in a catastrophic accident had i been on a street with more traffic as i had only brute force control over the brakes and steering. my impression at the dealer was that they were very familiar with the display of warnings on my dash panel. the diagnosis took very little time, the repair was costly, the experience was extremely memorable. | |||

| I have a 2004 infiniti g35 sedan. my audio failed and a/c stuck . . . the same problem they voluntarily repaired in 2003. (service bulletin #03007a and nhtsa item #10001253) it is caused by a failure of the audio finisher circuit board. because of this, i am unable to turn on the window defroster and have difficulty seeing through the windshield when there is condensation due to certain weather conditions. when i brought my car to the dealership in roseville where i bought it, they said they would check on it but knowing there was only 10 days until my extended warrantee was up, they never followed up. i have seen many 2004 owners on line with the same problem but nissan/infiniti don't seem to care. this is definitely a safety issue as my windshield fogs up when i drive to work, which is always early since i am a nurse and af reservist. | |||
