| My first issue:engine oil consumption i am an owner of a 2005 infiniti g35 5at. i bought it certified pre-owned at 62,000 miles 2 years ago. from last year (when the vehicle was at 78000) miles i started to have severe oil consumption problems. one day i took it to get an oil change and the mechanic noticed i only had one quart of oil left. by the next 1000 miles (after the oil change) the oil light kept coming on every time i braked. i pulled over and checked my oil and it was extremely low to the point i was scared of driving it further so i got it towed to the infiniti dealer. at that time i was out of warranty and they weren't able to help me. i started looking online to see if other g35 owners were experiencing the same issue and i was shocked to see how many were. right now i carry oil with me in the trunk knowing that it is going to be burning. i hope there will be something done about this as it seems a lot of people have been affected by this issue. my second issue: suspension and tire wear. ever since i purchased my car i have gone trough too many tires (last year alone i went through 3 sets). i am not a crazy driver and always careful on the way i drive especially after purchasing so many tires. i have bought aftermarket suspension parts (to adjust camber and toe as it is not adjustable from the factory) to try to alleviate the tire wear but it has not done anything. i am on my 5th set as of a month ago and i got a custom alignment done to maximize tire life but they have already detected uneven tire wear. | |||

| The g35 coupe is experiencing what seems to be tire feathering. i started hearing loud growling sounds coming from the tires, it started at 11,500 miles and has gotten much much worse at 13,000 miles. infiniti consumer affairs said...and i quote there is nothing we can do for you, since there is no recall on the car. the dealerships are telling me that this is normal since it's a sports car, obviously these people don't know about the cars they service or basic auto mechanic info. they did admit that the tires are cupping, but are not doing anything about it. the sound is unbearable and infiniti don't want to admit that their cars have a problem that so many people are experiencing. shame on them. *jb | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated there is a loud rubbing noise from the front end, which can be heard above the radio. the dealership determined the noise was a cupping on the inside of the tires, this is caused by the vehicle. the tires need to be replaced every 10,000 miles. also, the clutch was grinding, but the dealership refuses to look at this. | |||

| Front tires feathering. at around 6000 miles, i noticed that there was an unusual amount of tire roar coming from the front. i have taken the car in for service to 2 different infiniti dealerships and both said i should simply replace my tires and align. i have less than 15,000 miles on the car. the 350z has a very widespread problem that is similar to this, and as the g35 coupe and 350z share many components, including suspension, i am led to believe there is a reason for the similarity. | |||
