I HAD PULLED UP TO DRIVE THRU WINDOW AT THE BANK AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WHEN I FINISHED MY TRANSACTION I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULDN'T MOVE. I FINALLY SHUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFTER WORKED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I HAVE STARTED MY CAR AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. I ALSO HAVE AN AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FLASHING AND HOPE THEY WILL INCLUDE MY VIN # IN THE RECALL BUT THEY HAVEN'T SO FAR. EVEN IN THE EXPANDED RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHY. WHEN DOES OUR SAFETY BECOME IMPORTANT? MY STEREO/CD PLAYER ALSO STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO REPLACE THAT. WHAT GOOD DOES ALL OF THESE REPETITIVE COMPLAINTS DO IF THE AUTO COMPANIES AREN'T MADE TO REPAIR ALL OF THEM? *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2005 INFINITI G35 CAME ON, ON OR ABOUT MARCH 2014. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WAS THE HARNESS WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND I PICKED UP MY CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG MODULE. I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE AND FILED A CLAIM. INFINITI CORPORATE AGREED TO PAY FOR THE AIRBAG MODULE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A SPIRAL CABLE, AND "THAT WILL BE $600, LET US KNOW WHEN TO ORDER THE PART". I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE TO REOPEN MY CLAIM. I QUESTIONED WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING WHEN THE HARNESS AND AIRBAG MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WAS TOLD "SOMETIMES IT'S A 3 STEP PROCESS". INFINITI CORPORATE LATER DENIED THE CLAIM STATING THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE AS A FAVOR AND THEY ONLY ALLOW 1 FAVOR PER CUSTOMER. THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE TOLD THE SPIRAL CABLE MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REVIEWED BLOGS ABOUT THE 2005 INFINITI G35 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET BUT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALSO LOOKING AT AIRBAG ISSUES WITH SEVERAL MODELS OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE AIRBAG ISSUE FURTHER AS CLEARLY THE HARNESS (WHICH WAS RECALLED) DOES NOT RESOLVE THE AIRBAG ISSUE ON THE 2005 INFINITI G35. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE ON APRIL 27, 2010. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING EVERY SINCE DAY ONE, SO I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEMS. I ALSO CALLED INFINITY AND THEY SAID THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WILL BE GIVEN TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME MATTER, AND BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEMS HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER, UNLESS THEY PERFORMED A PARTIAL FIX TO GET THE CUSTOMER OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THIS VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY AND ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON MAY BE KILLED BY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THIS HAPPENS, I AM LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I WILL SEEK LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AND INFINITY FOR THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AS REPORTED BY SO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

I RECENTLY NOTICED RUST POPPING THROUGH THE UPPER DOOR TAPE ON BOTH FRONT DOORS ON THE 06 INFINITI G35X. CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT BOTH FRONT DOORS DUE TO A DESIGN OR QUALITY ISSUE WAS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ON BOTH DOORS. MY MAIN CONCERN, OUTSIDE OF HOW BAD THE RUST LOOKS IS THE CRASH AND SAFETY INTEGRITY OF THE DOORS IN A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE CAR BY THE DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 03-04 G35 AND THE 06 G35 AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST FURTHER. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE AND THE END RESULT WAS A DENIAL FOR INDICATING THE CAUSE WAS ENVIRONMENTAL AND NOT THERE PROBLEM. I COULD NOT ACCEPT THIS AND INDICATED BOTH OF MY 2006 G35 FRONT DOOR ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE AND IS CLEARLY A DESIGN OR PART INTEGRITY ISSUE AND NOT A ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. HE AGAIN STATED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE HE COULD DO AND OFFERED A SERVICE SPIFF INSTEAD. I INDICATED THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND REQUESTED A CALL BACK FROM HIS SUPERVISOR. A CALL WAS RECEIVED THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY FROM HIS SUPERVISOR WHO STATED THEIR DECISION STANDS AND DOORS ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND WAS NOT NISSAN ISSUE AND THEIR DECISION WAS FINAL. ADVISED I STILL WOULD NOT ACCEPT THIS AND SHE STATED THIS WAS END OF THE LINE FOR MY FILE. I AM POSTING THIS SO ALL CAN BE INFORMED HOW NISSAN STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND HOW THEY REALLY FEEL ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS-THEY DO NOT CARE. MY MAIN CONCERN OUTSIDE OF THE UNSATISFACTORY LOOK OF THE RUST IS THE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF THE DOORS IN CRASH. I OFTEN HAVE MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND NOW FEEL THE DOORS INTEGRITY IS CLEARLY COMPROMISED AS THE DOORS ARE RUSTED OUT AND GETTING WORSE.IT IS SAD NISSAN/INFINITI IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF THE PARTS USED ON MY VEHICLE TO ASSIST FURTHER WITH THIS UNACCEPTABLE RUST ISSUE THAT CAN EASILY BE RESOLVED. *TR

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY MECHANIC DO SERVICING ON MY INFINITI UNTIL HE CLOSED THE BUSINESS. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN DOING MY OWN OIL CHANGES AT HOME. DOING SO, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE AMOUNT OF USED ENGINE OIL IS ROUGHLY 2.5 QUARTS. IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, WHEN CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL WITH OIL FILTER, THE VEHICLE INTAKES 5 QUARTS OF OIL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL BECAUSE I DON'T SEE ANY OIL LEAK MARKS ON MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

I WAS HEADING SOUTH ON I 75 IN FLORIDA HEADING TOWARDS BRADENTON IN THE PASSING LANE DOING BETWEEN 75 & 80 WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, LUCKILY THERE WAS ONE. THE CAR BEHIND ME WENT TO THE MIDDLE LANE AT THAT POINT. I AM SO FURIOUS THIS HAPPENED AS I JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICED THE WEEK BEFORE AND I AM 72, A SENIOR CITIZEN. THE COOLING FANS APPARENTLY KNOCKED OUT THE THERMOSTAT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER IN TAMPA WHO THEN INFORMS ME THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED ON A RECALL TILL OCTOBER AND THAT INFINITI WOULD PAY FOR THE COOLING FANS BUT NOT THE THERMOSTAT... I THINK ALL INFINITI OWNERS SHOULD'VE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD IT FIXED BUT NO LETTERS WERE WRITTEN, ITS AN UNWRITTEN RECALL APPARENTLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. I FIND FAULT WITH THIS SITUATION BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WAITING FOR HELP JUST BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LIKE THAT ON AN INTERSTATE.... SHAME ON INFINITI FOR NOT MAKING THIS A TRUE RECALL.... ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY OFFICIALLY RECALL IT?? I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN INFINITI AND AM LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO PURCHASE, THIS ONE IS OFF MY LIST NOW... THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE TO KEEP UP.... *TR
