VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

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.

STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS

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 meticulously 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/inifinti will not accept responsibility for what is clearly a manufacturing defect.

i had the oil changed in june 2013. in early july my daughter said that the engine light came on and a day or two later the car was making loud noises from under the hood. we checked the oil and it was bone dry. we chalked it up to the last oil change as not having enough oil put in it. well, 5 weeks later the same thing happened along with the oil light. i checked the oil and it's bone dry. all warning lights go off after putting oil in. the car is burning oil, a lot of oil very quickly with no residue on the driveway. i went online and many people are having the same problem, mileage should not be an issue. i have yet to bring it in to the dealer for fear that it will need an engine. some light colored smoke comes out of the right side of exhaust. this is probably happening more than documented as owners may feel like there's not much to complain about with a 9 year old luxury car.
