NISSAN CAMPAIGN ID P3104, REF ITB03-007 DESCRIBES EXACT PROBLEM. THE VIN NUMBER OF OUR CAR IS WITHIN RANGE OF CAMPAIGN LISTED VIN #'S BUT NISSAN INSISTED TODAY THAT OUR CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY CAMPAIGN. HEAT/AIR TEMPERATURE CONTROLS AND RADIO DO NOT OPERATE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER PAST SEVERAL YEARS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN BY SAYING OUR VIN # WAS NOT COVERED BY CAMPAIGN EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE RANGE OF VIN #'S LISTED IN THE CAMPAIGN.

DURING 2 RAIN EVENTS, THE HORNS BEGAN TO BLOW AND CONTINUED TO BLOW UNTIL THE BURNED OUT. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THE DRIVER WAS NOT PRESENT, DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE HORNS WERE WORKING UNTIL THEY WERE REQUIRED. OTHER CASES OF THIS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED ON G35DRIVER.COM. I AM THE FIRST OWNED OF THE CAR AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR ALL OF ITS LIFE. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AND THEN PARKING IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I FIRST COMPLAINED TO A CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE FOR INFINITI IN APRIL, 2014, AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES. I AM RETIRED AND DON'T DRIVE VERY MUCH, ABOUT 3,000 MILES A YEAR. I HAVE OWNED INFINITIES SINCE 1990 WHEN I BOUGHT AN M CLASS, I'VE HAD ALL THE CLASSES; J, G WHATEVER. UNTIL 2005 I WOULD BUY AND OR LEASE A NEW CAR EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS. HOWEVER, SINCE I'VE BEEN RETIRED THE NEED TO REPLACE A GOOD RUNNING CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN MECHANICALLY SUPERB AND WITH LESS THAN 49,000 MILES WOULD BE AN EXTRAVAGANT AND UNNECESSARY MOVE. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT IN OVER 20 YRS. THE PROBLEMS ARE REGARDING THE EXTERIOR PAINT, WHICH SHOWS MINOR RUST AND THE FADING OF THE COLOR IN AREAS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY OVERLY EXPOSED TO THE SUN, I.E. BELLOW THE ROOF AND OVER THE REAR DOORS. HOWEVER, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS WHICH HAVE PULLED AWAY FROM THE DOORS DUE TO A SKIMPING OF PERHAPS AS LITTLE AS 1/4" OF MATERIAL UNDER THE HORIZONTAL STRIP WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE PANEL IN PLACE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RE-GLUE THE PANELS, HOWEVER DUE TO THE SHRINKAGE OF THE MATERIAL; MY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN LESS THAN SUCCESSFUL. SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED FOR A PERIOD GREATER THAN 4 YEARS, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE OBVIOUS LACK OF COMPANIES, INFINITI AND NISSAN WITH THEIR SEEMING LACK OF ACTION FOR A LONGTIME LOYAL CUSTOMER. SADLY, IN MY CORRESPONDENCE TO INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEIR RESPONSE WAS A JOLT TO MY SENSIBILITY AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING THEN TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO RESTART. WHEN STARTED, THE VDC, SLIP, AND ENGINE LIGHT WHERE ALL ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE 2 CODES FOR THE CAMSHIFT POSITION CENTER WERE GIVEN. THE CAR IS HARD TO START AND OFTEN DIES DURING IDLE TIME. WHEN CHECKING ON THE RECALL, MY VIN WAS NOT ONE LISTED, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME CAMSHAFT SENSOR IDENTIFIED BY INFINITI.

AIR BAGS
COMPLAINT AGAINST "INFINITI OF BEVERLY HILLS". I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO GET THE NECESSARY RECALL FOR MY PASSENGER AIRBAG. "PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON DASH." PERFORM RECALL P0339 G35 SAB CONNECTOR ITB10-034. ACCORDING TO INFINITI THEY WANT ME TO FIRST PAY TO FIX MY PASSENGER SEAT AS MY PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH IS BROKEN AND WILL NOT MOVE BACK AND FORTH. THIS WILL COST ME $300.79 TO FIX THE PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH FOR THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HONOR THE RECALL WITHOUT ME HAVING TO FIX ANOTHER PART OF THE CAR. I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO SPEND ANOTHER 300 + LABOR CHARGES TO REPAIR THE SEAT AS TIMES ARE ROUGH WITH WORK AND FINANCES.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SHINY CREATING A REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT OBSTRUCTS VISION. IT'S BLINDING WHEN THE SUN IS SETTING AND THE VEHICLE IS FACING WEST. IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH AT DUSK OR DAWN, BUT THIS ADDED DANGEROUS GLARE MAKES IT A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DASH IS ALSO LIKE PUTTY. IF I TOUCH IT, IT ACTUALLY MOLDS TO WHERE MY FINGER MOVES. THAT'S NOT DANGEROUS, BUT THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD SHOULDN'T BE AN ACCEPTABLE PROBLEM FOR NISSAN/INFINITI. IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM!
