Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The VQ35DE engine can have higher than normal oil consumption, which might result in the need for frequent oil top-ups.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Over time, the timing chain tensioner might wear out, causing rattling noises and potentially leading to timing issues.

Camshaft position sensor failure

This engine is known for camshaft position sensor issues, which can cause rough idling, stalling, or problems starting the engine.

Coolant leaks

There have been reports of coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses, which can lead to overheating if not addressed.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gaskets may deteriorate over time, causing oil leaks that can lead to a burning oil smell or visible oil on the engine.

Spark plug and ignition coil issues

Misfires can occur due to faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, leading to poor performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Catalytic converter failure

The catalytic converters in the VQ35DE can wear out or become clogged, causing a drop in performance and triggering the Check Engine Light.
