Anyway, since you've got a 6MT, I think the only way your car wouldn't move (barring drivetrain issues) would be if you're not getting fuel and/or air, either because the ECU is cutting it off, or an obstruction (clogged filter/injector, debris in a fuel line, etc.), which would also explain the sluggishness.
Had the VDC, Slip, and Brake lights come on simultaneously over the winter, turned out it was just low on brake fluid. The lights are just trying to tell you something, it doesn't mean the world is coming to an end. If I didn't get a light every once in a while, I'd start to worry that they didn't work!

Basus man you are having some serious issues I wouldn't consider the G35, Nissan/Infiniti to be any less reliable than Toyota/Honda which have had transmission and engine slug problems with the Camry and Acura TL/CL. None of the rest of us have had problems like yours so I would say in your case YOUR car is unreliable. Let the dealership do their job it's under warranty and you should have enough warranty left over once they are done if the problem persist you'll be safe. Good luck.

Whether you agree or not Nissan is no way closer to Honda and Toyota in terms of reliability.
Just dropped off the car at the dealership, today when i started the car all 3 lights VDC, SLIP AND SEL was on and the car refused to move. Shutdown and restarted the engine and only SEL light was on and car was very sluggish.
Anyone experienced this before

I used to have a 94 accord and Had to replace the tranny twice and sued them because they refused to honor the lemon law. *I had 5 major issues in a 6 month period*. It varies from car to car.

As for the VDC/SLIP/SEL lights on, I don't know about this on the G35 but I've seen this same problem over on the FX forum I frequent. Here are some of the comments and conclusions to the problems:
Looks like I'm having the same problems with my '05 FX35 AWD. I've got 12K mile on it. The car is stock, so no way any kind of aftermarket part could cause this. I drove the car 4 miles this morning and parked it to run into a store. Came back out 20 minutes later, started it up, and SES, SLIP, and VDC OFF lights were on and stayed on. It certainly went into LIMP mode, until I got to the end of the parking lot. I decided to restart. After the restart, only the SES stayed lit and it was no longer in LIMP mode.
UPDATE: I took the FX to the dealers and it turns out to be a bad throttle position sensor, which will be fixed under warranty. So it seems this is a common problem.

Started the pumpkin up yesterday and had the Service Engine Soon, VDC off, and Slip lights come on and stay on. Turned the FX off and on and just the Service soon light came back on. Dropped it off today to have them check it out. Their diagnosis: Bad throttle sensor causing the lights to come on.
This happened to me a handful of times - and my 2004 FX35 is completely stock. The dealer replaced the throttle body and the throttle position sensor, and all is well now.
You might wanna look at your break fluid level. I know this happens on G's and one of the common reasons is low break fluid level.
I had the same prob and it turned out the ground on the main wiring harness was loose. Dealer re-tightened and the problem fixed.
Got mine fixed, consult was showing a U1000 code which they apparently have a service bulletin for:
The main wiring harness ground was loose and they took it off and re-seated and re-tightened it!

Had the same problem and it is your internal voltage regulator in the alternator that is faulty. The vdc slip and service light come on and the car would not go more than 5mph and the computers glitch out. The alternator needs to be replaced!! took the dealer 2x of towing to the dealer to finally listen to me and replace the alternator after they told me it was the battery and replaced the battery. The regulator would fail after a few min/hour after starting and the battery would then get drained . demand they replace the alternator because 9/10 its the problem!1
good luck and have them call Ray Catena in edison New Jersey who have dealt with my fx if they are as thick headed and refusing to change it.

There have been a few minor recalls, but nothing that prevented the car from running fine until the next time I was into the dealer. I wouldn't make the conclusion that all Nissan/Infinitis are unreliable. As someone else stated, perhaps its just yours.
