| Vehicle is unsafe to drive due to disintegration of the lower tie bar (directly below and supporting the radiator, engine, and transmission) due to rust. this is a 2.25 square metal frame component connecting the left and right front portions of the vehicles uni-body construction. it is also providing, one of two connecting locations for the hood latch assembly to be bolted into the frame. 3/4 of my lower tie bar is missing in 7 years. this is the type of rust you would see on a vehicle left in a field for 30 years. not a 7 year old garage kept meticuliously maintained car. i filed a claim with infiniti consumers affairs and their response is there is nothing infiniti can do about this , it is normal wear. the i-35 is sister to the nissan maxima which also has the same problem, but nissan/inifini will not accept responsibility for what is clearly a manufacturing defect. | |||

| 10/20/2006 | 22500 | 5 | 05/09/2005 |
| The car had no symptoms of failure. the failure was the throttle position sensor. it fails intermittently without warning during normal driving conditions. during a failure the engine will not respond to any throttle inputs, therefore rendering the car immovable. car must be restarted to reset throttle sensor. has occurred in the middle of an intersection and on the highway, both seriously dangerous places to have loss of engine control. after contacting the dealership a new part was ordered, and after two weeks it arrived and works fine now. the two week notice was lack of stock for this part, which might indicate a widespread problem of this part. | |||
