ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE DASH, WHERE THE HEATING CONTROLS AND THE RADIO CONTROLS ARE. WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE HEATER AND RADIO CONTROLS JUST CUT OUT. IT GETS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT IS RAINING, BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WILL FOG UP, AND IN THE WINTER IT GETS VERY COLD. ....UPDATED 04/02/15 *BF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2004 INFINITY G35X FOR MY DAUGHTER. IT WAS DISCLOSED AT PURCHASE THAT THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS NOT A DEALBREAKER, I WOULD GET THE LIGHT FIXED EASILY. WELL, I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL INFINITY DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $480 TO REPLACE A 6 LED BOARD!! WHAT?? AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED VIA INFINITY CAR FORUMS (G35DRIVER.COM, X.INFINITIHELP.COM, NICOFORUMS.COM) THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE OEM BOARD IS KNOWN TO BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THIS IS A FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY ISSUE! INFINITY SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE BAD BRAKE LIGHTS. IT IS THE LAW THAT THESE LIGHTS BE THERE AND WORKING. I SINCERELY HOPE SOMEONE AT YOUR BRANCH WILL TAKE NOTICE OF THIS ISSUE AND FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR

STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR STARTED MELTING SOMETIME BACK WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS STICKY, GIVES A SHINE UNDER SUN AND CANNOT BE CLEANED. REPEATED REQUESTS TO THE DEALER WERE TURNED DOWN BLAMING THE ISSUE ON THE HOT WEATHER. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE HONDA ODYSSEY UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
MY 2005 INFINITI G35 UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TODAY. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AND ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (ABOUT FIVE) DID THE CAR START, AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A SAFE PLACE. SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR IN JULY 2010. AFTER THE JULY 2010 INCIDENT, I HAD TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF SENSORS, WHICH COST OVER $1,000. I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO RELIVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THAT THE OLDER (2003) VERSION OF THE INFINITI G35 HAD A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT INFINITI / NISSAN HAS NOT FOUND A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP THIS EVENING, AND I AWAIT THE DIAGNOSTIC READING TOMORROW. I WILL BE PETRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND AFTER MOVING OFF ABOUT 10 YARDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL THE POWER EQUIPMENT STOPPED WORKING. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY MORE THAN 10 TIMES SINCE THEN, USUALLY WHILE STOOPED IN TRAFFIC, OR MOVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I HAVE CALLED INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY DENY ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM OR ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. SO FAR, THE PROBLEM EXISTS AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT I AM FEARFUL IT MIGHT HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC A FEW TIMES BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

AIR BAGS
TOOK CAR IN TO HAVE PASSENGER AIRBAG HARNESS REPLACED PER RECALL. WHILE IN THE SHOP, A CRITICAL CONCERN WAS NOTED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE AND SPIRAL CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER OF $1,434. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE PART REPLACEMENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND I WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG PARTS ARE REPLACED, THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH ITS AIRBAGS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD ALSO BE PLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY CAR FALLS UNDER THIS RECALL...YET WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, OR LOOK ON LINE ON THEIR SITE. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL- WILL NOT FIX MY CAR!! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT? HOW CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED. BELOW IS 1 OF 100 ARTICLES ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET: NISSAN IS RECALLING 134,000 INFINITI G35 VEHICLES DUE TO A DEFECT IN THEIR AIRBAG SYSTEMS THAT COULD CAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURE NOT TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RECALL AFFECTS 2005 TO 2006 MODELS OF THE INFINITI G35 SEDAN AND 2005 TO 2007 MODELS OF THE G35 COUPE. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION: ?THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTING THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) AND THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR (ODS) CONTROL UNIT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAN EXPERIENCE RELATIVE MOVEMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE WEAR AND OXIDIZATION OF THE TERMINALS AND MAY CAUSE INTERRUPTION OF THE SIGNAL.? IN OTHER WORDS, ?THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF AN INJURY,? EXPLAINS THE DETROIT NEWS. ?THE AUTOMAKER HAS NOT YET NOTIFIED THE FEDS OF HOW THE FAULTY WIRE HARNESSES WILL BE FIXED, BUT THE OFFICIAL RECALL IS NOW BEING ANNOUNCED, JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO NHTSA,? WRITES AUTOBLOG. STILL, THE DETROIT FREE PRESS REPORTS THAT NISSAN SPOKESMAN [XXX] SAID IF A VEHICLE'S RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAD TURNED ON, THE OWNER CAN BRING THEIR CAR INTO THEIR DEALER FOR REPAIR.? SOME 2007 AND 2008 G35 AND G37 MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A SIMILAR RECALL. SYSTEMS THAT DETECT WHETHER A PASSENGER IS PRESENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER?S SEAT AND TURN THE RELEVANT AIRBAGS ON OR OFF HAVE PROVEN PROBLEMATIC FOR SEVERAL AUTOMAKERS. BMW AND HYUNDAI HAVE ISSUED SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE SAME SYSTEM IN RECENT YEARS. OWNERS WITH QUESTIONS SHOULD CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236.
