2004 Infiniti G35 issue

[Hellotalkie]

This car just started having issues. The check engine light is on, VDC and slip light are on as well. When turning the car does not straighten itself - almost feels like power steering has been lost.

Yesterday at the light the brake light lit and I couldn't move forward without turn off and on the engine. The engine takes a bit to turn over, probably about 3-4 seconds of cranking.

The car only has 113,000 miles - bringing it to a mechanic Wednesday. Any thoughts on these issues?

could be something as simple as a weak battery... except for this

just for the hell of it try cleaning/jiggling the battery connections

Hope its nothing major -- those are cool looking cars that have gotten worse and worse looking with the G37.

Why not go to advance or other part store and bet the engine light read for free?

Rack and Pinion steering - $930 installed w/ parts. Is that reasonable? As far as the lights, I have no idea whats going on.

Check your brake fluid and pads first.

Check sparkplug wells for oil too.

Another vote for check your brake fluid. I had almost the same set of dash lights come on last winter in a '05 g35x with almost identical mileage. Corrected with some fluid and a bleed of the brake lines.
