ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 65MPH WHEN IT LOST POWER AND THE VDC, SLIP AND CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHTS ALL CAME ON THE CAR REGAIN POWER BUT AT LESS AMOUNT AND WAS HARD TO START. WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. AND WAS FOUND TO NEED A CAM POS SENSOR. IF THIS LOSS OF POWER HAPPEN WHEN PASSING ON A 2 LANE ROAD I MAY NOT BE WRITING THIS . THE 2003 MODELS HAD A RECALL I THINK THIS MODEL NEEDS ONE TO. THE COST WAS OVER 350.00. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
THE AC AND RADIO CONTROLS BASICALLY NONE OF THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS ARE WORKING INCLUDING DEFROSTER WHICH IS BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND AS PER INFINITI DEALERSHIP ITS A RADIO AND CIRCUITBOARD ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING AT INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN (VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN; AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD) FOR THIS ISSUES -> ITB03-007B SERVICE CAMPAIGN -> ISSUE DESCRIPTION LISTED BELOW AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. BUT INFINITI DEALER IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RECALL ON THIS GROUND AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR 1300+ BUCKS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP AS I CAN LIVE WITHOUT AC AND CLIMATE CONTROLS BUT NOT WITHOUT DEFROSTER. ALSO ITS A TROUBLE THAT AC AUTO TURNS ON AT FULL BLOWN SPEED WHICH CAUSE TOO MUCH COLD IN WINTER AND ITS A HEALTH RISK FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY INCLUDING 2 KIDS. DESCRIPTION FROM INTERNET - ON SOME MODEL YEAR 2003 G35 SEDANS MANUFACTURED THROUGH AUGUST 21, 2002, THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS MAY NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. WHEN USING THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT OR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, THE UNIT MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE. IN SOME CASES, THIS CAN BE CORRECTED BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. IN OTHER CASES, THE UNIT REMAINS INOPERATIVE AND REQUIRES SERVICE BY AN INFINITI TECHNICIAN. TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION, INFINITI HAS INITIATED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD ON THESE VEHICLES. USE INFINITI NET TO CONFIRM IF A SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THIS SERVICE CAMPAIGN (P3104). *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING, WHEELS STARTED SHAKING. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO INFINITI THEY SAID THE COMPRESSION RODS WENT BAD AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN G35S. SERVICE GUY EVEN TOLD ME THAT THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING YOUR TIRE/WHEEL CAN FLY OFF. IF IT IS DEFECTIVE THEN WHY HASN'T INFINITI ISSUED A RECALL? *TR

ENGINE
FIRST, ON 07/28/2012, AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, NOTICE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SORT OF STALLED (SAW THE TACHOMETER DROP COMPLETELY) FOR 1 SECOND AND RESUME OPERATION. CONTINUE DRIVING BUT THE SLIP, VDC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CONTINUED DRIVING THE CAR TO MY DESTINATION, WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM THIS INCIDENT. AFTER A WHILE, TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT TOOK A FEW TRIES AND FINALLY DID. DECIDED TO GO BACK HOME AND AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH (THANKS GOOD) THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF (THANKS GOD WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY (DON'T WANT TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH CARS COMING RIGHT BEHIND ME AT ABOUT 70). WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND CONTINUED DRIVING SLOW (ON THE STREETS) TO MY DESTINATION. THE CAR NOW STARTS OK AFTER A WHILE BUT SUDDENLY DIES. TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOW AND IT SHOWS A P0335 CODE (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). MY MECHANIC SAYS, VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CARS. ***SAME RECALL AS IN THE 2003 MODEL YEAR*** WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR, FOR SOME ONE TO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT FOR NISSAN'S FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM THAT WAS REPORTED IN THE 2003 MODELS??? I HOPE NOT. IF I HAD CHILDREN, I WOULD TRANSPORT THEM IN THIS VEHICLE, EVER!!! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES
CENTER MOUNT/THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IS COMPLETELY OUT DESPITE THE ATTEMPTS MADE TO FIX THE LED'S. ALSO HAD SOMEHOW CAUSED MY REGULAR BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO COMPLETELY OUT. THAT SEEMS TO BE REPAIRED (FAULTY RELAY SWITCH?), BUT SINCE THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE I HAD ASKED INFINITI TO "GOODWILL" THE REPAIR COST ($221), BUT IT WAS DENIED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WAS COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHT, JUST BEFORE CAR STOPPED MOVING IT FELT LIKE THE TRANS DOWN SHIFTED HARD. I HAD MY FOOT ON BRAKE, ALREADY STOPPED AND CAR LUNGED FORWARD. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TAKE OFF AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR REVVED UP TO ABOUT 6500 RPM FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS THEN DROPPED DOWN TO NORMAL. I AN POSITIVE I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT PUSHING THE PEDAL, I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE THINKS THE THROTTLE HAD TO BE OPEN AS THIS IS A DRIVE BY WIRE CAR. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YESTERDAY, JULY 9, 2012, WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A MAIN CITY STREET THE ENGINE ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 JUST STOPPED RUNNING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. MANAGED TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VDC OFF AND SLIP LIGHTS AND THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND JUST SAT THERE, STUNNED, FOR A FEW MINUTES. I DECIDED TO TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN, AND IT DID START AND SOUNDED OK, SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT ON HOME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE FOR THE NEXT HOUR, I KIND OF FIGURED IT MIGHT BE THIS DEFECTIVE CAM POSITION SENSOR, AS THE SYMPTOMS MY CAR DISPLAYED SOUNDED JUST LIKE WHAT SO MANY OTHERS WERE DESCRIBING, PLUS INIFINITI AND NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM ISSUED ON THE 2003 G35. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH OTHERS THAT THE 2004 G35 SHOULD BE UNDER THIS SAME RECALL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER. I WILL ADD THAT LATER THAT EVENING I HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE, SO I TOOK A CHANCE THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT. IT QUIT ON ME TWICE IN THE AREA AROUND MY HOME WITHIN 10 BLOCKS. SO, OBVIOUSLY I CANNOT TAKE THIS CAR VERY FAR FROM HOME WITHOUT GETTING THIS REPAIRED AND REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TODAY TO HAVE THEM FIND OUT THE CODE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT. IT'S WHAT I SUSPECTED, 0340, WHICH IS THE PASSENGER SIDE CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE VERY THING ON THE 2003 INIFINITI G35 MODEL RECALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE
ENGINE BECAME INOPERABLE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT, VDC LIGHT) AT THE TIME. CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED WITH SOME TROUBLE. PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF (STALLING, LOSS OF POWER, STARTING DIFFICULTY) OVER NEXT COUPLE DAYS, ALTHOUGH WARNING LIGHTS NEVER WENT OFF. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IDENTIFIED PROBLEM AS CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILURES & ADVISED THERE WAS A NHTSA SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 03V455000) FOR THE PROBLEM WITH 2003 G35S, BUT THAT MY VIN WAS OUTSIDE THE CAMPAIGN RECALL VINS. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACTED INFINITI. I CONTACTED BOTH DEALER AND INFINITI NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A CAM POSITION SENSOR PROBLEM WITH 2003 G35S, BUT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE CAMPAIGN THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE CAM POSITION SENSORS AT MY EXPENSE (ABOUT $1500). THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH NO APPARENT RESOLUTION WITH INFINITI. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN 03V455000 NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL PROBLEM VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. CARS BEHIND ME WERE AT A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT I COULD PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS, ALSO, HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR A.M. OR P.M. (WITH THE VEHICLE BEING PARKED): IT FAILS TO START. THE "VDC" AND "SLIP" LIGHT COMES ON. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR

THE AIR CONTROL ON MY CAR WENT OUT. THE CAR'S RADIO AND AIR CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK. THE AIR IS STUCK ON 72 DEGREES COOL WITH A/C ON. I WAS IN KENTUCKY AT THE TIME AND UNABLE TO MANAGE MY TEMPERATURE. CAR'S INTERIOR WINDOWS FOGGING UP, UNABLE TO CONTROL DEFROST OR WINDSHIELD AIR DIRECTION. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, WHEN AIR IS ON AT CERTAIN TIMES WINDOWS FOG UP AND REDUCE VISIBILITY. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH INFINITI OWNERS. *TR
