Mine's fine.................!

One way would get to know a service manager and
just ask him what kind of problems does he see on
a daily basis.....find one that's honest! LOL

I've had no problems at all with my car and I'm at 20000 miles currently... well, the cable did snap on my handbrake, but that's why I leave it in gear. I took it in to the dealer as soon as I found out and they fixed it in about 40 mins. Radio and AC have worked flawlessly thus far.

30,000 miles here.

Axle click TSB, Fuel hose recall, and drift to the right TSB. Interior / Electrical has been perfect so far.

Mine's got 24k miles.

Axel clicks so far, got fixed under warranty. Few squeeking sound from front/rear suspension area probably my Hotchkis sways bushings need to be regreased. My car doesn't have that Bose headunit w/c is an engineering failure. The stock ones are ok and I think Clarion made those headunit...but not so sure.

No electrical problem but radio cd inop, power window motor inop and axle clicks all repaired under warranty. Brake squeeks is the one that I have to take care off personally. Simply because the warranty on the G35 brake is nothing but a freakin joke. So far the biggest irritation I have on my car are the rattles, but I'm so use to it that I don't even care anymore. Very reliable engine I have a 5AT so no tranny problems whatsoever.

The axel click is a common problem. I've had my Hotchkis for over a year now and it's normal for the bushings to squeak. If you're really concern about reliabilty, don't mod your car.
