MY AUDIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE REAR OR FRONT DEFROSTER WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. INFINITI ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM HOWEVER MY CAR WASN'T COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN MY 2003 INFINITY G35 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. I HAVE RECENTLY TAKEN THE CAR TO A REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP, AND WAS NOT PLEASED TO FIND THAT IN THIS CONDITION THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS IN THE 2005-2008 INFINITY G35'S. THE 2003 INFINITY G35'S WERE NOT INCLUDED, BUT YET THERE ARE OTHER 2003 G35 OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF THEM WERE INJURED WHEN THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS BECAME INOPERATIVE ON A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE. SAFETY ISSUE IS THE INABILITY TO USE DEFROSTER OR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AS NECESSARY. A SEARCH OF THE WEB INDICATES THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI RECALLED SOME 2003 SEDANS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, BUT NO COUPES. THE COUPE USES THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM AS THE SEDAN IN TERMS OF RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS.. THIS RECALL IDENTIFIES A CIRCUIT BOARD AS THE CULPRIT, AND THE BOARD WAS REPLACED FREE FOR SOME 2003 SEDAN OWNERS. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE RADIO COMPLETLY CUT OFF AND THE AIR CONDITIONING CAME ON AT FULL BLAST... I CANNNOT CONTROL ANYTHING ON THE DASH SUCH AS CLIMATE DEFROSTED OR TURNING THE DARN THING OFF. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND MY WINDOW WERE ALL FOGGED UP AND I COULDNT CLEAR THEM. I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF MY FRONT OR BACK WINDOWS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAMETHING SOME WILL BE HURT IF INFINITI DOESNT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS. I HAVE NO CLUE TO WHY THEY HAVENT RECALLED OR RECALLED ONLY A FEW OF THIS CAR TO FIX THE PROBLEM.IT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM. IF YOU CALL THE DEALEARSHIP THEY WILL ONLY CHARGE YOU A MINT TO REPLACE THE PART THAT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. *JS

ENGINE
CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING (ENGINE WOULD DIE OUT) THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I WENT TO INFINITI DEALER TO GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE "CAM POSITION SENSOR" THAT WAS BAD, YET DIDN'T TELL ME AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM (ITB03-072 SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN) I HAD MY PERSONAL MECHANIC FIX AT MY EXPENSE. SHOULD THEY HAVE FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS PART OF RECALL? PLEASE HELP ME RECUPERATE MY MONEY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER VEHICLE WINDOW'S MOTOR HAS CONTINUOUSLY BURNED OUT OR CHOOSES NOT TO WORK AT TIMES. I HAVE RE-PLACED THE WINDOW MOTOR SEVERAL, YET IT STILL DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO HIT THE AREA WHERE THE MOTOR IS LOCATED ON THE DOOR IN ORDER TO GET IT TO START MOVING, SOMETIMES I WILL BE THERE FOR HOURS TRYING TO ROLL UP MY WINDOW WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE I CLOSE MY DRIVER DOOR WITH AND WITH OUT A HEAVY FORCE AND THE MOTOR WILL ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN HALF WAY. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE WINDOW'S MOTOR MUST BE DEFECTIVE AND HOPES TO WRITE A COMPLAINT SO THAT INFINITY MOTORS CAN RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT, MY WINDOW HAS ROLLED DOWN DURING RAINY SEASON, AND IT IS QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE IN WET LEATHER SEATS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INFINITI G35 AC AND AUDIO PANEL NOT WORKING, AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR IN INCLIMATE WEATHER DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OR ENGAGE THE DEFROST SO I CAN SEE OUT THE WINDOWS. VERY DANGEROUS - THREAT TO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT'S THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD THAT HAS FAILED. THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO INSTALL A NEW RADIO. EITHER OF THESE REPAIRS WILL BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. UNABLE TO GET INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. VIN NOT COVERED UNDER THE VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN - FALLS JUST OUT OF RANGE. EVERY ONE OF THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENTS. UNCLEAR WHY ONLY A SELECT FEW VINS WERE RECALLED. THOUSANDS OF US HAVE COMPLAINED. WHY IS NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? *TT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SUSPENSION
MY FIRST ISSUE:ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION I AM AN OWNER OF A 2005 INFINITI G35 5AT. I BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED AT 62,000 MILES 2 YEARS AGO. FROM LAST YEAR (WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT 78000) MILES I STARTED TO HAVE SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. ONE DAY I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED I ONLY HAD ONE QUART OF OIL LEFT. BY THE NEXT 1000 MILES (AFTER THE OIL CHANGE) THE OIL LIGHT KEPT COMING ON EVERY TIME I BRAKED. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW TO THE POINT I WAS SCARED OF DRIVING IT FURTHER SO I GOT IT TOWED TO THE INFINITI DEALER. AT THAT TIME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO HELP ME. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER G35 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY WERE. RIGHT NOW I CARRY OIL WITH ME IN THE TRUNK KNOWING THAT IT IS GOING TO BE BURNING. I HOPE THERE WILL BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. MY SECOND ISSUE: SUSPENSION AND TIRE WEAR. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR I HAVE GONE TROUGH TOO MANY TIRES (LAST YEAR ALONE I WENT THROUGH 3 SETS). I AM NOT A CRAZY DRIVER AND ALWAYS CAREFUL ON THE WAY I DRIVE ESPECIALLY AFTER PURCHASING SO MANY TIRES. I HAVE BOUGHT AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION PARTS (TO ADJUST CAMBER AND TOE AS IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE FROM THE FACTORY) TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THE TIRE WEAR BUT IT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING. I AM ON MY 5TH SET AS OF A MONTH AGO AND I GOT A CUSTOM ALIGNMENT DONE TO MAXIMIZE TIRE LIFE BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY DETECTED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. *TR
