SEATS
FAILURE OF DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME DUE TO CRACKING TWICE. ONCE AT 26,177 MILES ON 8/8/06 AND AGAIN AT 60,815 MILES ON 5/20/10. THE WAY I BECAME AWARE OF THE FAILURE IS THAT BOTH TIMES IT INTERFERED WITH THE POWER SEAT OPERATION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. I AM NOT A BIG PERSON, MALE, 5'8" 160LBS. THE VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, LOOKS NEW AND ALL SERVICE RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME THE SEAT FRAME CRACKED AND REPLACED THE SECOND TIME OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE SAME INFINITY DEALERSHIP. INQUIRED FROM THE DEALER IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY WOULD NOT ANSWER. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY TWICE TO GET ADDITIONAL INFO AND INQUIRE IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IF THEY FELT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WOULD SELF REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO THE PROPER PARTY. THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY SECOND INQUIRY. THIS DID NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE TO ME AFTER THE ISSUES WITH TOYOTA. I HAVE SAVED THE PART FROM THE MORE RECENT REPLACEMENT IN CASE FURTHER INSPECTION WAS NECESSARY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THIS SITE FIRST. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ONCE A YEAR BECAUSE THEY WEAR PREMATURELY. THAT IS A $1000 JOB. ONLY HAVE HAS THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS. LAST YEAR IN 09, THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING WITH 6 CD'S STUCK IN THE CHANGER, I HAD NATIONWIDE INFINITY LOOK INTO THIS, WHEN THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $1400 TO FIX, BUT MY YEAR CAR HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO I SAID FORGET IT, I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY SITTING AROUND. THEN COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF BY IT SELF A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK AND COME RIGHT BACK ON. THEN JUST THE OTHER DAY, BEING JUNE 5TH 2010 MY RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL AND I NOW HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY AIR CONDITION. IT IS STUCK ON 70 FULL BLAST. NOW WASTING A TON OF GAS ALSO. I CALLED NATIONWIDE TO MAKE AN APPT, WHEN I DISCUSSED THE ISSUE, THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN SAID " LET ME GUESS, 2003 G35" I SAID OH, SO YOU KNOW THIS ISSUE, HE SAID YES WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME, YOUR LOOKING AT !600 TO FIX! I THEN CALL INFINITY HEADQUARTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO HAVE THEM TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE DUE TO IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO RECALL. IM A SINGLE MOM, SO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY LAYING AROUND. I THINK ITS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ME NOT HAVING ANY CONTROL OVER THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS! I AM CONTACTING ALL LOCAL NEWS STATIONS TO GET SOME HELP! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
AIR CONDITIONING UNIT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AT THE SAME TIME, THE RADIO BECAME INOPERABLE. INITIALLY THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES PER WEEK, BUT NOW IT'S A PERMANENT ISSUE. INFINITI RECOGNIZES THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS, BUT WILL NOT RECALL BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTROL THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROST. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IN MY 2004 G35 SEDAN IS BECOMING CLOSE TO USELESS DUE TO A "ROCKING CHAIR" TYPE EFFECT. THE SEAT HAS BEEN DOING IT EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH THE PASSING OF TIME. IT IS NOW SO BAD THAT I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR ANY DISTANCE. IT ROCKS BACKWARDS EVEN WHEN DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL, NEVER MIND UNDER ANY AMOUNT ACCELERATION OR CORNERING FOR THAT MATTER. INFINITI HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM WHICH IS IN MY OPINION AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SHODDY CRAFTSMANSHIP. THEY WILL NOT HELP TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE ANY TIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE SEAT BEGINS TO ROCK AND IT IS VERY DISORIENTING . I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND I FEEL UNSAFE WHILST DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAGS DISABLED SENSOR REMAINS ON. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO HAVE REPAIRED AT NISSAN DEALER TWICE, BUT EACH TIME THE DISABLED SENSOR WILL COME BACK ON. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH INFINITI BUT AFTER THE INITIAL CONTACT THE ASSIGNED AGENT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY PHONE CALLS AFTER THEY DISCOVERED WHAT THE COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT. THE COMPLAINT WAS FILE IN APRIL OF 2009 WITH INFINITI CORPORATION. THIS VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME THE COMPANY STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE AIR BAG DISABLED SENSOR COMING ON. THE REPAIRS AND COMPLAINT ARE IN INFINITI'S CORPORATE FILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEARSON INIFINITI IN RICHMOND, VA TO BE REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE SENSOR BEFORE I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE CORPORATION. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR GOES OUT EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL,IT COULD POSE AS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE MOTOR GETS IN A BIND AND IF IT GETS STUCK COULD OVER HEAT, OR IF IN A WRECK AND HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS WINDOW IT WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN. SO IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING TO BUST THE WINDOW IN THE COUPE YOU WOULD BE STUCK. EVERY PERSON I CAME ACROSS THAT HAS A G35 COUPE 03-06 THERE WINDOW HAS WENT OUT AT LEAST TWICE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS NOT JUST ONE COUPE BUT RATHER 90% OF THEM. AS WELL AS INFINITI WANTS $500.00 TO FIX. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO RIVERSIDE INFINITI (RIVERSIDE, CA) FOR THE SAME OCCURRENCE. THEIR CLAIM IS THEY HAD TO RESET THE CODES FOR WHICH I WAS CHARGED FOR. ONCE I DROVE IT OFF THEIR LOT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ONCE AGAIN CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY TO CALL THEM BACK. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK. I TURNED BACK AROUND AND PROCEEDED BACK TO THE INFINITI DEALER. ON MY WAY BACK TO THEM, I HIT A BIG PIECE OF WOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND DAMAGED THE ENTIRE RIGHT REAR OF MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THERE , THEY EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE FOR WHICH I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED WELL OVER $1,300. I REFUSED TO PAY THAT AMOUNT AND I TOLD THEM THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE COVERED WITHOUT ANY CHARGE. MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS AND I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO STADIUM NISSAN OF ORANGE (ORANGE, CA) WHERE THEY HAVE RESET THE CODES AND STILL THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. EVERYWHERE I TURN TO, EVERYONE WANTS TO TAKE EVERY LITTLE DIME FROM MY POCKET AT MY LIFE'S EXPENSE FOR NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME AROUND. NOW I HEAR ABOUT THE 2005 G35 SEDAN MODELS AIR BAG LIGHT BECOMING A PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE SEEMS TO DRASTICALLY DROP WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS CAR WILL READ FUEL EMPTY WHEN IT STILL HAS ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS. WHEN REFILLING CAR WITH FUEL, CAR WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 15 GALLONS OF GAS AND THEN REGISTER FULL AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS A 20 GALLON TANK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THERE IS AN APPARENT KNOWN DEFECT IN THE 2003 INFINITI G35 MODELS. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL WILL APPARENTLY LOSE ALL INDICATORS, AS IF THERE IS NO POWER, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION, STAYING FROZEN ON AT THEIR LAST SETTINGS. THE RADIO VOLUME OR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER,ETC. ARE STUCK ON THEIR LAST SETTINGS AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BOARD BEHIND THE DASH. INFINITI/NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (# ITB03-007B) TO REPAIR THE 26,300 VEHICLES LISTED BY VIN # ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A HAZARD , AS IN THE WINTER, THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE TURNED ON, OR THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. INFINITI SAYS MY 2003 VIN # DOES NOT FALL INTO THE BULLETIN PARAMETERS, (VIN # IS HIGHER), AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI STATES THE COST TO REPAIR.........$2600.00. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE BULLETIN DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO COVER THIS DEFECT ON A LARGER QUANTITY OF VEHICLES THAN INFINITI WANTS TO ADMIT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE IN A NORMAL SETTINGS MY ENGINE ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING ON A 35 MPH ROAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I PULLED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME OR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A BAD CAM SENSOR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER BEING WORKED ON. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
1 WEEK AGO I'VE NOTICED A SUDDEN DEGRADE IN PERFORMANCE. THE CAR IS PROVIDING 1/2 AS MUCH POWER AS USUAL, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS OR GAUGES REVEALED ANYTHING. INSPECTED OBVIOUS THINGS LIKE FUEL, OIL LEVEL AND PURITY. 2 DAYS AGO *VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING, AND WAS HARD TO START AGAIN. IT TOOK ALMOST 1 MINUTE TO RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. CAR CONTINUED TO BE HARD TO START AFTER INSTANCES THAT IT WAS SHUT OFF. LAST NIGHT: *VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, DURING MY DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I'M LUCKY NO ONE CRASHED INTO ME. *TR
