Problems:

Oil consumption
The VQ35DE engine is known to have issues with higher than normal oil consumption, which can lead to engine damage if not monitored closely.
Timing chain tensioner
The timing chain tensioner can wear out, leading to a rattling noise upon startup and potentially serious engine damage if the chain skips timing.
Camshaft position sensors
Faulty camshaft position sensors can cause the engine to run poorly, misfire, or even fail to start.
Oil gallery gaskets
The oil gallery gaskets can fail, leading to oil leaks and potential low oil pressure issues, which can damage the engine.
Catalytic converter failure
The catalytic converters can fail prematurely, which can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the engine if pieces are ingested into the combustion chamber.
Coolant leaks
The VQ35DE engine can suffer from coolant leaks, particularly at the thermostat housing and around the intake manifold.
Variable valve timing (vvt) solenoids
Issues with the VVT solenoids can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Knock sensor
A faulty knock sensor can cause the engine to run in a reduced power mode to prevent damage, leading to poor performance and fuel economy.
