SEATS
THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TRACK ON MY 2006 INFINITE G35X HAS BROKEN ON 3 OCCASIONS AND HAS RENDERED THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DATED ON JULY 2007 AS SEATS BULLETIN 02080. THIS TSB SHOULD BECOME A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE AND INFINITE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I RECENTLY GOT A USED CAR FROM MY FRIEND, BUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK ON THE CAR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT I NOTICED THIS AFTER GETTING THIS CAR TO ME FROM MY FRIEND, BUT SHE SAID SHE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR LONG TIME. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS THAT THE AUDIO PANEL DOESN'T WORK, THE CLIMATE PANEL IS WITH THE AUDIO PANEL, SO THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. SO I CANNOT CONTROL MY CLIMATE IN MY CAR, SO THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ALL THE TIME, IT IS REALLY HARD TO DRIVE. WHEN I CHECKED THIS PROBLEM WITH DEALER AND ON THE WEB, IT IS REALLY,,COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR AND THIS KIND OF CAR, BUT THE COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO THE DEALER SAID IT COSTS MORE THAN $1,000 TO CHANGE THE PANEL AND TO FIX ALL PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL. PLEASE CHECK THIS PROBLEM, AND CORRECT THIS, THANK YOU FOR READING MY CONCERN, *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STEREO DOESN'T WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN...THEN THE AC TURNS ON HIGH LEVEL AT 60 DEGREES. ? IT DOESN'T TURN OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT IN WINTER WHEN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS ARE FOGGED UP I CANT HEAT THEM UP TO CLEAR THEM WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD..I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S A RECALL ON THE SEDAN FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE COUPE..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TOP MOUNT REAR LIGHT (3RD BRAKE LIGHT) ON MY G35 ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT ALL SOMETIMES. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEDAN MODEL. COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH CARS BEHIND NOT REALIZING THE G35 IN FRONT IS STOPPING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER INFINITI G35 COUPES WITH NON- FUNCTIONING 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RE-CALL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND LABOR CHARGE TO REPAIR. PLEASE INDUCE INFINITI TO REPLACE THESE LIGHTS AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE
AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WAS BASICALLY A MOVING PARKED CAR!!! THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SO IT WAS REALLY HARD TO PULL OVER. THANK GOD I WAS ON A LOCAL STREET. I DIDN'T FORCE THE STEERING TOO MUCH B/C THAT COULD AFFECT THE POWER STEERING. ONCE ON THE SIDE, THE CAR TOOK REALLY LONG TO START UP, I MEAN ABOUT 5 SECONDS FROM HEARING THE CRANK TO ACTUAL STARTUP. USUALLY IT?S INSTANTANEOUS. NOW, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS WERE ON. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED OUT WITH A SCANNER/DIAGNOSIS AND IT RETURNED CODE ?P0340 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.? I JUST FIND IT REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE NISSAN/INFINITI DOES NOT COVER SUCH A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY CAR HAS MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT FOR A CAR TO STOP WORKING ON THE ROAD LIKE THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT ACCORDING TO NISSAN/INFINITI MY CAR VIN IS NOT FOR THIS CAMPAIGN SO I WAS REJECTED. ITB03-072 SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2002 Q45, 2003 M45, G35, 2002-2003 I35; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN ENGINE SENSORS INFINITI HAS DETERMINED THAT SOME 2002-2003 MODEL YEAR INFINITI VEHICLES MAY HAVE A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. THE ENGINE MIGHT STOP RUNNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN IF THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILS. THIS MAY ALSO RESULT IN THE ?SERVICE ENGINE SOON? LIGHT COMING ON OR REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IF THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING, THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY THROUGH TOWN AT 30 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED AND ALL THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING LOT OFF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED CAR IGNITION TO OFF POSITION. I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY. I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED CAR IGNITION TO OFF POSITION. I WAITED A FEW MORE MINUTES, STARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. *TR

ENGINE
THE CAR SIMPLY DIED AFTER PULLING ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE INFINITY DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A CAM SHIFT SENSOR FAILURE. NOT JUST ONE, BUT TWO SENSORS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL BUT I CANNOT GET THE INFINITY TO COMPLY WITH THIS RECALL AND THE SUBSEQUENTLY CHARGED ME $500+ TO REPLACE THE TWO FOULED PARTS. VERY DISAPPOINTING. *JS

I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL DOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO STALL IN THE FREEWAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER IN A GAS STATION. LATER ON I BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP AND TOLD ME MY CAMSHAFT BROKE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003/2004 MODELS FOR CAMSHAFT DOING THIS BUT STOPPED FOR 2005 EVEN THOUGH MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AS THEY DID. CALLED INFINITI AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY. THANKFULLY I WASN'T HURT BUT I REALLY WISH INFINITI STEPPED UP AND FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2005 MODELS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEY DID IT FOR 03/04 MODELS AND IF IT DOES IT IN THE 05'S WHY NOT DO A RECALL ALSO. *TR

I OWN A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE THAT HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES AND BURNS TWO QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I ORIGINALLY BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BACK IN 2008. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BEGIN EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. AT THAT TIME I ONLY DROVE ABOUT 200 MILES A MONTH AND THE DEALER SAID I NEEDED TO BE DRIVING 2500 MILES TO PERFORM THE TEST. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WASN'T A WAY TO PUT THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WITHOUT UNNECESSARILY DRIVING AROUND TOWN. MY CAR REQUIRES PREMIUM GAS AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS FOR SOMEONE TO THINK I WOULD SPEND THOUSANDS IN GAS TO SHOW MY CAR HAS A OIL BURNING ISSUE. LAST MONTH AFTER LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE, MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID MY CAR DEFINITELY HAS A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED BY TIME NOT MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL AS THE DEALER ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THERE IS TSB ISSUED ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS WELL AS THE BBB. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. ENGINE RESTARTED WITH HESITATION AND VDC, SLIP, AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW ONE WOULD COST AN ESTIMATED $500. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, RECALL #03V455000. AS I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE ON OTHER MODELS, IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND AN UPDATED RECALL FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERAL LAWSUITS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE A/C OR DEFROST OF MY CAR, WHICH IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT MY WINDSHIELDS. ALL THE BUTTONS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF A CIRCUIT BOARD MALFUNCTION. SINCE I CANNOT CONTROL THE DEFROST, I CANNOT PASS THE STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST BETWEEN $1300-2000 TO FIX. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR IN 2003 AND INFINITI SAYS THEY REPLACED THE PART IN MY CAR SO THIS FIX WOULD BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM IN CARS UNDER 100K MILES -- ONLY IN THIS MAKE/MODEL. ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF 2003/2004 G35 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $2K TO FIX A CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE GRADUALLY STOPPED WORKING. THE AC/CLIMATE CONTROL IS ALWAYS ON FULL-BLAST (NO WAY TO ADJUST IT OR TURN IT OFF). THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN ON OR OFF. THE GARAGE CONTROLS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. NONE OF THE LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. AFTER SPEAKING WITH TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND LOOKING UP INFORMATION ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. 9/10 TIMES, THE COMPLICATION APPARENTLY GOES AWAY AFTER REPLACING THE AUDIO UNIT. ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS/REPAIR OF THE AUDIO UNIT AT THE DEALER IS $800. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, I WAS TOLD IT'S USUALLY THE CIRCUIT BOARD, WHICH ALSO COSTS AROUND $800.
