SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCE EXTREME VIBRATIONS, COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR TRAVELING AT OR ABOVE 65 MPH. ONCE I REDUCED THE SPEED VIBRATIONS DID NOT STOP, BUT IT WAS MANAGEABLE. I HAD MY TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED THE NEXT DAY, THINKING THAT WOULD FIX IT. BUT ONCE AGAIN IT STARTED, MY VEHICLE HAS NEW TIRES AND I HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR A COUPLE MORE DAYS, THE VIBRATIONS STOP BUT DAYS LATER IT BEGAN AGAIN. I WAS FED UP, SO I TOOK VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER HAD GOTTEN STUCK AND IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS PROPER PLACE AFTER BRAKES WERE DEPRESS, THUS MAKING THE CAR VIBRATE AFTER DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH. I HAD THE CALIPERS REPLACED, BUT NOW THE LEFT SIDE IT VIBRATING AS WELL. THE VEHICLE HAD NO VISIBLE RUST OR PROBLEMS, PERHAPS CALIPER IS OR ARE DEFECTIVES AFTER ONLY 7 YEARS ON THE ROAD. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
MY 2008 INFINITI G35 AIRBAG AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I RESET THE LIGHTS AND CHECKED THE WIRING UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAME UP WITH CODE B1018, OCCUPANT SENSOR (UNIT FAIL) PAST CODE. THEY RESET THE LIGHTS AND RECOMMEND CHANGING THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM IF THE LIGHTS RETURNED. THE COST?....$6137 BUT THEY WILL GIVE ME A DISCOUNT, CHARGING ME $4176. THIS MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MY CAR...ACCORDING TO THE VIN. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED SEP 2007, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES MANUFACTURED INTERVAL. I BELIEVE INFINITI SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ASSUME THE COST OF THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR BY INCLUDING IT IN THE RECALL. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED THUS MAKING DOOR MECHANISM IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTIVATE AND DRIVER'S DOOR IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. DOOR CANNOT BE PUSHED OPEN FROM INSIDE BECAUSE LATCH MECHANISM IS IN CLOSED POSITION SECURING DOOR CLOSED AND HANDLES DO NOT WORK. CONTACTED DEALER AND DEALER SAID IT IS PROBABLY A FAILED HANDLE CABLE AND THAT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON ON THIS MODEL AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL, REIMBURSEMENT, OR SAFETY PROGRAM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM TRAPS THE DRIVER IN THE CAR; IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN ADULT-SIZED DRIVER TO GET OUT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT EFFECTIVELY CRAWL OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE AND GEAR SHIFT TO THE PASSENGER SEAT, ASSUMING THE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT BLOCKED. A RECALL OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT IS REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY TO SAVE LIVES AND ALLOW TRAPPED DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS TO GET OUT OF CAR IN REASONABLE TIME AND WAY. *TR

AIR BAGS
THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE MANUFACTURED CARS AND TRUCKS MADE BY THE NISSAN CORPORATION. A CALL BACK WAS ISSUED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING COLUMN. A COIL LOCATED INTERNAL WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN IS DEFECT AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN AN EMERGENCY. SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY ISSUE WHEN A COMPANY PUTS THEIR NAME ON A PRODUCT LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SAFETY FEATURES LOCATED FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY. PLEASE ADDRESS MY CONCERNS BY ISSUING A CALL BACK ON THE NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DEFECT FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY THANK YOU RESPECTFULLY *TR

CAR RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE. WAS INFORMED THE FIRST TIME THAT GAS SENSOR WAS DEFECTED SO IT WAS REPLACED.

ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A 2005 INFINITI G35 FOR MY DAUGHTER. TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER - REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THERE WOULD BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING, SO IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR HER TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AT RANDOM EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION; PARTICULARLY, FOR A TEENAGE DRIVER. I GOOGLED THE CAR'S ISSUES, AND LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON 2005 INFINITI G35'S FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS CAUSING THIS LOSS OF POWER PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT. AN INFINITI DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR THIS MORNING AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR'S CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THIS RECALL ON EVERY 2005 INFINITI G35 VEHICLE - NOT JUST THOSE VEHICLES WHOSE VIN NUMBERS APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST - ESPECIALLY THOSE VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THE SENSOR FAIL. THE REPAIR TOTALS $425.00 AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF THAT AMOUNT FROM NISSAN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
TWO DIFFERENT INCIDENTS - I WAS IN TWO MINOR LOW SPEED INCIDENTS. I BELIEVE AT THE TIME OF THE SECOND THE BRAKE ROD GOT BENT (WHICH IS CURRENTLY SPECULATION AND THE INSURANCE IS INVESTIGATING) FROM THE FIRST ACCIDENT. AFTER THE FIRST MY ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION ON SOME LEFT HAND TURNS. I GOT IN THE SECOND ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO "BRAKE HARDER" AND I WAS AMAZED I COULDN'T STOP IN THE DISTANCE PROVIDED, AND THIS BRAKING SCENARIO AND OUTCOME IS REPEATABLE. IF I BRAKE HARD -- HARDER -- FULL STOP. BY THE TIME I DO A FULL STOP MY BRAKING POWER IS DIMINISHED AND IN MY ACCIDENT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN A "NORMAL" DISTANCE. FURTHERMORE, AFTER THIS SECOND ACCIDENT AT < 20 MPH. I HAVE INTERMITTENT ACCELERATOR FAILURE IN ALL DRIVING SCENARIOS. I COULD BE DRIVING AND IT JUST CUTS OUT. NO ERROR LIGHTS IN EITHER OF THESE SCENARIOS. NO CHECK ENGINE, NO SLIP, NO ABS, WARNINGS. I PREVIOUSLY TRIED TO BRING IT UP TO CORPORATE NISSAN AND THEY SAID I HAD TO CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. BOTH DEALERSHIPS I TRIED PAWNED ME OFF TO PARTS DEPARTMENT, WHICH THE GUY WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHY I AM ASKING HIM ABOUT POTENTIAL SHORT FALLS. THEY WANTED OVER $1,000 EACH ISSUE TO INVESTIGATE. MEANWHILE AS I NOW FIND MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR LACK OF ACCELERATING AND BRAKING ABILITIES, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING. TWO ACCIDENTS IN 6 MONTHS, AND AT LEAST THE LATTER I THINK COULD BE DUE TO A POTENTIAL FAULTY PART - AS EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE REACHED OUT TO SAID IF IT IS THE BRAKE ROD, AND IN THE ACCIDENTS I HAD, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BENT (IF THAT ENDS UP BEING THE ROOT CAUSE). LET ALONE THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ENTIRE CONSOLE INCLUDING DEFROSTER ETC. WENT OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A VOLUNTARY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SEDANS BUT NOT COUPES. HOWEVER, THE COUPE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS THE FINISHER ELECTRICAL CARD WHICH FAILED AND APPARENTLY HAS BEEN FAILING CONSISTENTLY FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL. INFINITI IS FORCING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ORIGINAL FLAW. OTHERWISE YOU ARE STUCK WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO ALTER THE CONSOLE SETTINGS INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO DEFROST/DEFOG YOUR WINDSHIELD WHICH CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN. I WILL NO LONGER BE IN THE MARKET FOR A NISSAN PRODUCT, ALONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES THAT I HAVE SHARED THIS WITH. *TR
