EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CENTER BRAKE LIGHT IN THE REAR WINDOW FAILS TO WORK AT DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE 2009. THIS LIGHT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE/REPAIR AND IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2003-2006 INFINITI G35 SEDAN, I HAVE REPLACED IT TWO TIMES IN MY 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THAT I CANNOT SEEM TO COUNT ON 2 HANDS. THIS PART IS A SAFETY RISK AS IT IS OUT A MAJORITY OF THE TIME! I REPLACE IT ONCE DUE TO FAILURE OF PASSING A MASSACHUSETTS INSPECTION STICKER TEST, AND YET AGAIN IT IS OUT/WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I'VE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE WHERE THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR START FINE WHEN I DO A COLD START BUT WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP THE CAR STALLS AT TIMES. I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF THE STORIES FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THE CULPRIT ARE EITHER THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH I HAD ALREADY REPLACE THREE YEARS BACK, THE 2 CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I'M HOPING THAT MY VIN# IS PART OF THAT RECALL. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS CAR IS THE RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THAT I RECENTLY HAD CHANGED WITH THE FACTORY RADIO ATTACHED TO THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THE RADIO WOULD STOP WORKING. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND THE AC UNIT WOULD TURN ON BY IT SELF. I RECENTLY JUST INSTALLED AN AFTER MARKET RADIO. WITH EVERYTHING AFTER BUYING WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO DO A DOUBLE DIN CONVERSION AND INSTALLATION. IT COST ME A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY. ANOTHER ISSUE THIS CAR HAS IS THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. IT DOESN'T RETRACT PROPERLY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IT'S A CHORE JUST TRYING TO PUT ON THE SEAT BELT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER G35'S, MY VEHICLE'S RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS HAVE BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. THE PANEL'S LIGHT GOES OFF AND NONE OF THE BUTTONS WORK. THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT RESETS ITSELF TO 75 DEGREES AND AUTO CLIMATE, WHICH PROMPTLY RAMPS UP AND GOES FULL BLAST, WITH NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF. THIS PROBLEM ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR IS OFF. BEFORE I WAS AWARE OF THIS BATTERY DRAINING, I WAS AT A GAS STATION AT MIDNIGHT IN THE FREEZING COLD, WHEN THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER START. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE PROBLEM BY INFINITI, AND THEY DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS BUT FOR A VERY SMALL RANGE OF VINS. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, THIS IS ONE OF THEIR MOST COMMON JOBS AND NON-WARRANTY COVERED REPAIRS WILL COME UP TO $1300. SEARCHING ONLINE REVEALS MANY THREADS WITH HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY GETTING THE REPAIR MAY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT MAY RESURFACE 3-4 MONTHS LATER. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, AS IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. I'M LUCKY I DON'T LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS SNOW OR FREEZING TEMPERATURES. YOU CAN GET STUCK OUT THERE WITH NO BATTERY. *KB

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DEFROSTER, AC/HEATING SYSTEM, RADIO, AND SELECTED LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FAIL RANDOMLY, CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO FOG IN CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS, MAKING IT QUITE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE. THE SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON, THEN THE FAN CYCLES TO HIGHER SPEEDS ABOUT EVERY 20 SECONDS. THE HEATING/AIR SYSTEM WILL BECOME COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE, RENDERING ALL DEFROST CONTROLS INOPERABLE. DURING THIS TIME, THE RADIO DISPLAY TURNS ITSELF OFF, AND ALL CONTROLS ON THE FACE OF THE UNIT ARE DISABLED. THE STEREO CAN STILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. ALL BUTTON LIGHTS REMAIN OFF, WHILE THE CENTER DISPLAY, LOCATED JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD, REMAINS ON. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE SEDAN VERSION OF THIS YEAR/MODEL VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING IS THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER FOR THE SEDAN RECALL: ITB03-007. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
I OWN A 2007 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE VEHICLE HESITATES/STUTTERS/SURGES WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS MAINLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD (AFTER A COLD SOAK). THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR DRIVING FORWARD AND WAS NOTICED AT 5-30 MPH AND RPMS ARE BETWEEN 700-1800. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE FAILURE." THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE ENGINE SURGE COULD CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR
