ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS GETTING OF THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 TURNED OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR THE CAR STRUGGLED TO START EVENTUALLY DID. LATER THAT NIGHT THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING THE CAR I WAS TURNING ON A INTERSECTION AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.MY SLIP LIGHT. VCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE CHECKED IT WITH THE COMPUTER GOT THE CODES P0011 AND P0340 CAM POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I TOLD ME THAT THE CAR MIGHT HAVE A DEFECT BECAUSE THAT YEAR AND MODEL WAS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND I FOUND THE RECALL NHTSA # 03V455000. I CALLED INFINITI GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. MY CALL CLEARLY HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS STATED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS NOT FAR INFINITI DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2005 G35 SEDAN. FOR YEARS I HAVE HEARD THIS CREAKING/SQUEAKING NOISE WHENEVER I TURN INTO/OUT OF PARKING LOTS AND CURB CUT OUTS. I HAVE HEARD THIS NOISE SINCE 2006 AND YET SOMEHOW THE DEALER NEVER HEARS IT WHEN I TAKE TO BE SERVICED. ON MY LAST VISIT A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DEALER, RIVERSIDE INFINITI SAID MY COMPRESSION RODS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED @ ($900.00). IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESEARCH COMPRESSION RODS, I STUMBLED UPON A SITE CALLED G35 DRIVER.COM WHICH HAD A HEADLINE THAT SAID 'G35 COMPRESSION RODS ARE TOTAL CRAP'. I READ ON AND PERSON AFTER PERSON HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW THE RODS WENT OUT AFTER 12K MILES, THEY HAD THE SAME SQUEAKING/CREAKING ON TURNS, MORE SO ON COLD DAYS THAN WARM ONES ETC. THE BUSHINGS ARE CREAKY AND TORN. MY HUSBAND AND BEST FRIEND BOTH HAVE G35 SEDANS AND HAVE THE SAME NOISE. HOWEVER MOST MEN DON'T HEAR THE NOISE UNTIL I BRING IT THEIR ATTENTION. SINCE SO MANU HAVE THIS SAME COMPLAINT, I RESEARCHED YOUR SITE AND INFINITI TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS. THERE ARE NONE. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE BAD RODS PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY MOST CERTAINLY SOUND DEFECTIVE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS IS REGARDING MY INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN INFINITI DEALER 5 MILES AWAY, WITH THE ENGINE STOPPING DURING OPERATION SEVERAL TIMES. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CRASH AND NOBODY WAS INJURED OR OTHER DAMAGE. AT THE DEALER, THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULT CRANK POSITION SENSOR, WHICH WAS A KNOWN ISSUE ON MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN (01V35700) FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER SERVICED MY VEHICLE BY REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $334.65. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO REIMBURSE MY SERVICE UNDER THE EARLIER RECALL CAMPAIGN. I AM WRITING TO NOTIFY NHTSA OF THIS INCIDENT SO IT IS IN YOUR DATABASE. I AM ALSO REQUESTING THAT YOU REVIEW THE INCIDENTS OF FAILED CRANK POSITION SENSORS IN INFINITI CARS AND CONSIDER REINITIATING A RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATES ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THIS INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS INOPERATIVE AND COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V521000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE) AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SHE DID NOT NEED TO HAVE HER VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT PASSED THE TEST SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND ACU SYSTEMS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NO LONGER MANDATED. IT MUST BE CHANGED FROM A RECALL TO AN OPTIONAL VOLUNTARY CAMPAIGN FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,500.

MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. EVERYTIME I DO AN OIL CHANGE, ABOUT 1000 TO 1200 MILES I CHECK MY OIL DIP STICK. IT IS HALF WAY BELOW THE FULL MARK. I HAVE REPEATED DONE THIS PROCEDURE OVER 10 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH INFINITI AND NISSAN. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 INFINITI G35X 4 DOOR SEDAN. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER HAS CREATED A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH CREATES HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS WHICH I AM SURE WILL LIKELY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. THIS CONDITION CONCERNS THE OPERATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE FURTHEREST ON/OFF POSITION. DURING NIGHT DRIVING WHEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED, THE HEADLIGHT ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN JUST RIGHT POSITION TO INADVERTENTLY TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIGHT TURN. IN VERY DARK AREAS WITHOUT SURFACE LIGHTS THIS DEFECT CREATES A VERY DIFFICULT CONDITION FOR THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR OF OPERATION. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM - AND I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WHICH HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSED AN INJURY BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION BUT IT IS FRIGHTENING AND ALARMING EVEN TO AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER ON 1/20/2009. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
EVIDENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES ON INFINITI G35 MODELS. I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE OF 2004. I HAVE 61, 300 MILES ON THE CAR. MY THROTTLE BODY JUST BROKE AND ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND IS ONLY COVERED BY MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY FOR 4 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. IN 3 STATES IT IS COVERED FOR 7 YEARS AND 70,000. IF THE PROBLEM IS THAT COMMON, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE 7 YEARS AND 70,000 FOR ALL STATES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
1) CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T A RECALL AND WILL COST APPROX. $800 DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING OF A CIRCUIT BOARD. 2) THE CLIMATE CONTROL AND RADIO ARE INOPERABLE ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME WE START THE CAR. I READ CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE SEDAN AND NOT THE COUPE. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HOPE THIS BECOME A RECALL SOON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT SMELLS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER THE IGNITION WAS STARTED. IN ADDITION, SHE MUST REFILL THE GASOLINE IN HER VEHICLE EVERY TWO DAYS. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED AFTER TWO DAYS. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE GASOLINE SYSTEM. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V555000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SHE FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE SHE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATENING DUE TO NO DEFROST WHILE DRIVING WILL CAUSE NO VISIBILITY. 3) I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE YEAR MODEL 2003 INFINITI G35 POSTED ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. INFINITI KNOWS ABOUT THE FLAW AND EVEN CORRECTED IT ON THEIR 2004 AND LATER G35 MODELS SO WHAT ABOUT THE 2003 OWNERS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35. WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A NEW SAFETY SEAT FOR HER 3 YEAR OLD, 42 LBS. SON, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO FIND OUT THE CORRECT WEIGHT LOAD FOR THE TETHERS AND ANCHORING LATCH. SHE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CORRECT WEIGHT NEEDED TO ATTACH THE LATCH SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE USING A CHILD SAFETY SEAT. SHE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HER SON IN THE FIVE POINT HARNESS SEAT, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT SEAT TO PURCHASE BECAUSE THE LATCH SYSTEM COULD ONLY HOLD UP TO 40 LBS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAD NO INFORMATION REGARDING THE ANCHOR, TETHERS, OR LOAD RATING FOR THE LATCH SYSTEM. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO A 360 DEGREE SPIN. IT HIT A RETAINING WALL ON THE SIDE AND THE BUILDING BEHIND IT WHICH BROUGHT IT TO A STOP. AS THIS DEVELOPED THERE WAS ZERO CONTROL OF THE CAR AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. IT TOOK INFINITI 11 DAYS TILL THEY CHECKED THE BLACK BOX AND 15 DAYS MORE TILL THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THERE WAS $8000.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR THAT WAS PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN FEBRUARY 2007 THE CD PLAYER ATE MY CD AND I NOTICED THE HEATER BECAME DEACTIVATED ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AUDIO SYSTEM. ORIGINALLY, WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER REPLACED SAID SYSTEM. THESE ARE ALL FACTORY PARTS. WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE AUDIO SYSTEM AND CIRCUIT BOARD UNIT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1500. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. I WROTE A LETTER TO INFINITI REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO, AND TO DATE NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT WAS A INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP THAT CITED THE "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN", AND RECOMMENDED I CONTACT THE DEALER. AS OF DECEMBER 3, 2008, THE DEALER STILL EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IN TOTAL, AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MISFIRED. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SLOW TO START AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL, PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. MOST TIMES AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE CONTACT WOULD BE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE VEHICLE. A SERVICE MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND STATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,800. UPDATED 03/18/09. *LJ UPDATED 03/19/09. *JB

INFINITI G35 COUPE DRIVER SEAT BELT DEFECTIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FRESNO CA IN OCT. 08. THEY TOLD ME IT IS FINE AND A FEW DAYS LATER IT BROKE AT THE ANCHOR BOLT. I HAD TO TOE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE AND THEY REPLACED THE BOLT. IN OCT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THAT DEALER TO CHECK THE SEAT BELTS THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT IN FRONT IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPLACED. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK TO REPLACE IT THEY TOLD ME IT IS WORKING FINE NOW AND DOES NOT NEED REPLACEMENT.

THE HOOD ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35X FAILED AT THE HINGES. THE HOOD IS NOW ELEVATED ABOVE THE LINE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND WILL NOT CLOSE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE HOOD WAS MERELY OPENED, AND THE HINGES FAILED. I AM CONCERNED HAT THE HOOD WILL OPEN OR FLY OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR BE PUSHED INTO THE INTERIOR CABIN DURING AN ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND INFINITI REFUSE TO FIX THE HOOD UNDER THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY RESEARCH INTO THIS HOOD ISSUE HAS UNCOVERED OTHER OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL FAILURES. *TR
