ENGINE
THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON THE ROAD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT HAPPENED 2 YEARS AGO FIRST TIME. REPLACED CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BANK 1 AND BANK 2. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENT AND PARKED ON THE SHOULDER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. CODE P0340 . SAME PROBLEM LIKE 2 YEARS AGO. SO THE PROBLEM COMES BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN ,EVEN WHEN THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED (OEM PARTS.) THERE WAS INFINITI RECALL ON THAT PROBLEM (RECALL # R3021) . I REQUEST INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH NO COST. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF, NO POWER AT ALL, NO CONTROL OF CAR AT ALL. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOES START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE. VERY SCARY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE. I CALLED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED AT THE PLANT THEY WERE CALLING RECALLS FOR. WELL EXCUSE ME INFINITI YOUR PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (MY INFINITY CASE NUMBER FOR THIS PROBLEM **AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS IS 15697563). THEY INFORMED ME THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2010 - IT WAS NOT. I HAVE THE CAR-FACTS TO PROVE THIS. INFINITI STATED TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS INFINITI FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WILL DO THIS THIS WEEK BUT SADLY EXPECT THE SAME RUN AROUND I HAVE RECEIVED BEFORE. THIS CAR BETWEEN THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ABOVE IS AT EXTREME CRASH AND INJURY RISK. *TR

THE RADIO WILL STOP OPERATING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL BLOW AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE OR FLOW. OBVIOUSLY, I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
VACUUMING CAR AND PUT BOTH SEATS IN A FORWARD POSITION. WHEN I WAS DONE THE SEATS WOULD NOT MOVE BACK TO ITS REGULAR POSITION. PASSENGER SEAT WAS ALREADY GIVING ME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, HOWEVER BACK PART OF SEAT STILL WORKED. THE DRIVER'S SEAT I HAD NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH BEFORE. BOTH SEATS ARE NOW IN AN AWKWARD UNDRIVABLE POSITION AND WILL NOT BUDGE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS, BUT THE SEAT AS A WHOLE WHICH WILL SET ME BACK A COUPLE THOUSAND THAT I DO NOT HAVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START IT, AND IT WOULDN'T START, BUT THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT AND "SLIP" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A FEW TRIES THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO A GAS STATION, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T RUN VERY WELL AT ALL. I COULDN'T GET IT TO RESTART AFTER PARKING IT AT THE GAS STATION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FOR REPAIR. THE CAM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING, AT A COST OF ABOUT $500. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS, BUT THEN THE "VDC OFF" AND "SLIP" LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN O.K. THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW MILES UNTIL I HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. *TR

ACCORDING TO THE US GOVERNMENT, INFINITI RECALLED 2008 G35 FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH A SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS BLINKING. THE DEALER SAID THE RECALL HAS TO BE VIN SPECIFIC, AND THUS MY CAR WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. ISN'T A RECALL CAUSED BY A COMMON OR GENERIC PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN MOST OF IF NOT ALL CARS OF SAME MODEL AND SAME YEAR? IN THIS CASE 2008 G35? DEALER SAID I SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST AND THEN SEEK REFUND FROM INFINITI. $3500 OUT OF MY POCKET AND TAKE A CHANCE? SO HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING VIC SPECIFIC RECALL? *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTED SO BAD IN SOME SPOTS THAT THE DASHBOARD CAN'T EVEN BE CLEANED. THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ARE STARTING TO GET WORSE EACH DAY. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CRACKS WILL BECOME SO SEVERE IT WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT THE DRIVING SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

AS I WAS ACCELERATING TO ACCESS HIGHWAY, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. IT WAS AS IF I WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I KEPT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND IT SLOWLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND SEEMED FINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR DIED. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS I WAS IN THE CARPOOL LINE AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL. CAR WAS RUNNING, WHILE I WAITED AND IT SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. WHEN I RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON. I CHECKED MY MANUAL AND THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE GAS CAP WASN'T ON TIGHT ENOUGH OR BAD GAS. FILLED UP MY TANK AND A FEW HOURS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. TODAY THE CAR DIED AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. RESEARCHED RECALL INFORMATION AND CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 03V455000. *TR

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE ORLANDO INFINITI DEALER THAT "PASSENGER CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY (FOUND PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION CONTROL UNIT FAILED)" ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2004-2008 INFINITI G35 SEDANS, INFINITI SAYS MY CAR WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS NOT INCLUDED AS A VIN WITHIN THE RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, AC CAME ON FULL BLAST AND I COULD NOT CONTROL IT. NONE OF THE BUTTONS WORKED ON THE UNIT AT ALL. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THEIR FIX IS THE CONTROLLER BOARD OR AFTERMARKET RADIO SYSTEM. I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET RADIO/GPS UNIT INSTALLED, BUT IT STILL HAVE ZERO CONTROL OVER AC UNIT. NO PROBLEM WITH RADIO EVER. ALL OF THIS IS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES I CAN CONTROL IT, BUT IT WANT LAST LONG. DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN THIS WINTER, SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. I'LL KEEP RESEARCHING. *TR

I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY PREVALENT. AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE SOME NOISE THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND DOES NOT START ONCE IT STOPS. THERE IS NO WARNING. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE SENSOR TO RESET -- PUTTING ME AND MY VEHICLE IN HARMS WAY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY BUSY OVERPASS. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. I HAD A HARD TIME STEERING AND GETTING OVER OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS DRIVING 50 PLUS MPH. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. ONCE WE GOT TO THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY. IT STARTED AGAIN BUT THEN SHUT OFF. I WAS GOOGLING THIS SYMPTOM AND THE YEAR, MAKE MODEL (2005 INFIINITI G35 ENGINE STALL) AND THIS WAS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WERE PUT AT RISK OF INJURY. I WAS CONVINCED THIS WAS MY PROBLEM, TOO. THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THIS WAS THE CODE THEY GOT AS WELL. I ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS GOING TO BE. SO MY QUESTION IS... WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED IF? IT IS DANGEROUS. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
BELOW IS WHAT INFINITI SENT OUT. I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AND NONE OF MY CONTROL PANELS WORK. THIS MEANS THAT MY DEFROSTERS ON BOTH WINDOWS ARE NOT AN OPTION FOR ME TO CLEAR MY WINDSHIELDS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD EARLY MORNING NOW AS CONDENSATION SITS ON BOTH REAR AND FRONT WINDSHIELDS. EVEN THOUGH MY SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED, I AM REFUSED A SOLUTION. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR. 2003 G35 SEDAN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON SOME MODEL YEAR 2003 G35 SEDANS MANUFACTURED THROUGH AUGUST 21, 2002, THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS MAY NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. WHEN USING THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT OR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, THE UNIT MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE. IN SOME CASES, THIS CAN BE CORRECTED BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. IN OTHER CASES, THE UNIT REMAINS INOPERATIVE AND REQUIRES SERVICE BY AN INFINITI TECHNICIAN. TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION, INFINITI HAS INITIATED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD ON THESE VEHICLES AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER FOR PARTS OR LABOR. THIS CAMPAIGN AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 23,998 INFINITI G35 SEDANS IN THE UNITED STATES.
