STRUCTURE
I AM UNSURE OF THE ORIGINAL DATE THAT I NOTICED. I DID CALL MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NONE. MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL SPOTS. I CANNOT CLEAN IT AND IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY SO EVERYTHING GETS STUCK TO IT. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON QUITE A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN MY WIFE OR GROWN DAUGHTER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. EVERY TIME I LOOK TO MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T SITTING ODDLY IN A WAY THAT WOULD GIVE A FALSE READING TO THE SENSOR AND THEY AREN'T. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT IT IS "...OPERATING AS DESIGNED." I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PART OF TURNING OFF THE AIRBAG WHEN AN ADULT-SIZED PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT IS CONSIDERED "AS DESIGNED.". THIS WHOLE SITUATION MAKES ME QUITE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGER EVERY TIME I NOTICE THAT THE LIGHT IS ON. INFINITI SEEMS TO THINK THAT BY TELLING ME THAT THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM THAT EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT. THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT HOW I SEE IT! *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
I OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35X. THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST OF $1200 WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V175000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS), BUT CLEARLY THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED. INVESTIGATION OF THE INFINITI USER FORUM WILL CLEARLY INDICATE THAT AIRBAG FAILURE (POST RECALL) IS VERY COMMON IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHILE INFINITI/NISSAN IS CONTINUALLY IGNORING THE ISSUE. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I BELIEVE THAT INFINITI/NISSAN NEVER REPAIRED THE CARS UNDER THE RECALL, BUT MERELY DISABLED THE WARNING LIGHT DURING THE RECALL REPAIR VISIT. THE INITIAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY AT 65000 MILES. THE FAILURE HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 89600. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE IN THE MATTER AND HELP THE CONSUMERS FROM AN IMPENDING FATAL DISASTER. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, WHICH INCLUDES THE DEFROSTER. LUCKILY IT OCCURRED IN THE MONTH OF MAY AND NOT IN JANUARY WHEN THE SNOW FLIES, AS IT COULD HAVE CREATED A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE DEFROSTER NOT WORKING. AFTER LOOKING ON-LINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE TO G35 OWNERS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS DESCRIBING THE SAME CONDITION. IT IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITHIN THE CONTROLS FOR THE RADIO & CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. IT APPEARS THE SAFETY ISSUE IS BEING IGNORED, POSSIBLY BECAUSE IT'S TIED TO THE RADIO. IF THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS, IT'S PROBABLY ONLY MATTER OF TIME. WITHIN THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS LISTING IT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES. PLEASE DON'T IGNORE IT ANY LONGER. IMAGINE YOURSELF ON A TRIP CROSS COUNTY, IN JANUARY, AND THE DEFROSTER STOPS WORKING. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING JUST TO GET TO A TOWN. OR YOU MIGHT RISK CONTINUING YOUR TRIP SO AS TO GET HOME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I'M SURE THERE ARE CASES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE DONE JUST THAT, RISKING THE SAFETY OF THEMSELVES & OTHERS DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. ALL BECAUSE A CAR MANUFACTURER WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. P.S. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 69000 MILES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I CAME TO A STOP SIGN ONE DAY AND BEGAN TO PROCEED DRIVING, MY CAR CUT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. AS WEEKS WENT BY THE SAME PROBLEM BEGAN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW EACH TIME I COME TO A STOP AND PROCEED TO DRIVE, THE CAR WILL CUT OFF IF I DON'T HURRY UP AND PUSH DOWN HARD ON THE GAS PEDDLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS MY CAR ALMOST CUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EVERYDAY NOW WHEN I COME TO A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN I HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO HIT THE GAS PEDDLE EXTRA HARD TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CUTTING OFF ON ME. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM SHAFT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MODEL INFINITY THAT I HAVE, AND I FOUND THAT THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM OF THE CAR CUTTING OFF. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR WAS JERKING WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT A RADIATOR LEAKED TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND RUINED IT. DEALER FLASHED TRANSMISSION, BUT LATER I HAD "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING. I WENT BACK, DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS BECAUSE OF A BAD TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A CAR IN THIS CONDITION. I STILL HAVE A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE, THEY SAY, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS A SECONDARY ONE, AND THE PRIMARY WAS A RADIATOR. NISSAN TWICE REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, UNABLE TO RETRIEVE CD'S, ERROR MESSAGE. LATER RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS WENT OUT. CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. CALLED INFINITI IN SARASOTA, WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN, I DID. HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, WAS TOLD BY INFINITI THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEY RESET SENSOR. A FEW MONTHS LATER, RADIO WENT OUT AGAIN, A/C AT 60 DEGREES, CANNOT LOWER TEMPERATURE, CANNOT TURN ON/OFF FROM DASHBOARD; RADIO WORKS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY. PROBLEM CAUSED BATTERY TO GO DEAD, CALLED AAA, WAS TOLD SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY; TOLD OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ADVISED ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MAYBE THE REASON. ONCE BATTERY PURCHASED, ADVISED AGAIN BATTERY MAY GO OUT DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DRAINING BATTERY. WENT ONLINE, FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. CALLED INFINITI AGAIN, TOLD MY VIN # MAY NOT BE LISTED. COST APPROXIMATELY $1,200.00 OR MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. CALLED INFINITI/NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE, TOLD MY VIN NUMBER NOT ON RECALL LIST. INFORMED THEM OF PROBLEM, PURCHASE OF NEW BATTERY DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND WHAT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN REGARDING NEW BATTERY. REP ADVISED NOTHING THEY CAN DO. TOLD I CAN PAY, AND IF A RECALL LATER WITH MY VIN NUMBER , I CAN BE REIMBURSED WITH PROOF OF REPAIR WITH INFINITI. AS OF THIS WRITING, I AM STILL UNABLE TO TURN ON/OFF DEFROST, HEATER, A/C, CD PLAYER, CASSETTE PLAYER, OR RADIO; NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON DASHBOARD ARE OPERABLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN SO MANY WAYS IN TERMS OF ROAD SAFETY; DEFROST NOT WORKING (UNABLE TO DEFROST WINDOWS FOR VISION WHILE DRIVING); DRAINING BATTERY; HAZARDOUS DUE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS THAT CAN CAUSE A PERSON TO FREEZE WHILE IN MY CAR, AND A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. I PRAY AN INVESTIGATION INITIATED DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BY MANUFACTURER, NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER; THAT THE RESOLUTION IS FAIR AND JUST FOR ALL, AND NOT JUST BY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS ONLY. *TR
