SEATS
MY INFINITI SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND IT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT IS VARY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER REPORTED CASES INCLUDING FIVE OR SIX REPORTED ON THIS SITE. I HAD THE SAME RESPONSE THAT ONE OTHER HAD ON THIS SITE FROM THE INFINITI DEALER, THE DRIVER'S WEIGHT. I TOO, AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS MY 4TH NISSAN PRODUCT INCLUDING MY LAST MAXIMA THAT I HAD FOR 14 YEARS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THE DEALER HAS ESTIMATED A COST OF 1,300 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH ON THE FREEWAY, AND NOW I AM DRIVING A VERY DANGEROUS CAR WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT AND NOT ONLY AN EXPENSIVE AND IRRITATING ISSUE, BUT A DANGEROUS ONE. PLEASE INFINITI, STEP UP AND STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. ITS A GREAT PRODUCT, BUT THE SEAT DESIGN (BRACKET) IS TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS BECOME INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. MY TEMPERATURE WAS STUCK AT 90 DEGREES AT MAXIMUM OUTPUT, WITH NO POSSIBLE WAY TO SHUT IT OFF. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR 2003 G35 SEDANS WITH THIS ISSUE (INFINITI RECALL # P31040), BUT NOT FOR COUPES. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS CASES WHERE THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON 2003 G35 COUPES, BUT INFINITI REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS, BECAUSE THE VIN #'S WERE NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT CONSTITUTES A RECALL FOR ANY G35 MODEL WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON 04/06/2012 I WAS DRIVING ON THE 60E FREEWAY IN THE #2 LANE GOING 65 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. IT DROPPED FROM 65-40 WITHIN SECONDS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT (THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR). THE SHOULDER WAS EXTREMELY NARROW AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED. WITHIN MINUTES AN RCTC TOW TRUCK APPEARED AND THE DRIVER ASKED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN I EXPLAINED HOW THE CAR HAD LOST ALL ACCELERATION, HE TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE I RAN OUT OF GAS. THE GAUGE ON THE DASH SAID THERE WAS STILL A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS LEFT AND I SHOWED IT TO HIM, SO I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE. HE OFFERED TO PUT A GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK TO SEE IF IT WOULD START UP AND AS SOON AS HE DID THAT THE CAR STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. HE DIRECTED ME TO PYRITE ST TO FILL UP MY TANK AND WHEN I GOT THERE THE CAR TOOK ALMOST 20 GALLONS! EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE READ THAT THERE WAS STILL 1/4 TANK OF GAS! AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I'M UPSET THAT INFINITI HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL KNOWING THAT THIS AFFECTS SO MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I DRIVE 82 MILES A DAY ON THE FWY AND BEING FEMALE, I AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND I WOULD BE STRANDED. IT IS ALSO SO DANGEROUS TO LOSE ALL POWER ON THE FREEWAY! I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A RECALL ITEM AND THAT INFINITI SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AS THE WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT IT IS, AND COMPLETE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO MAKE THIS AN OPERATIONALLY SAFE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INFINITI HAS COMPLETELY LEFT BEHIND OWNERS OF THE 2003 G35. THEY HAD A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THE 'AUDIO FINISHER' BUT ALL THEY DID WAS PUT A BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM. THEY ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE, THEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A YEAR. THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SET UP THE RADIO/AC CONTROLS PROPERLY WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY MADE THE CAR, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY YOU WON'T SEE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 MODEL. NOW ALL THEY SAY IS THAT IT'S MY PROBLEM TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE CANNOT USE THE DEFROST. INFINITI TRIES TO CHARGE ABOUT $1000 EACH TIME THIS PROBLEM RECURS. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND SAD TO THINK THAT THEY EXPECT US TO PAY THIS FEE ABOUT ONCE EACH YEAR WHILE WE OWN THIS CAR. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY DIED FROM A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT TURN ON THEIR DEFROST IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR

THE 3RD LOCATION BRAKE LIGHT IN THE REAR DECK AREA QUIT WORKING, AND THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO GET TO IT AND REPAIR IT. IT IS A LED UNIT, AND IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS DESIGNED AND INSTALLED TO NEVER FAIL, BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT (THE ONE IN THE BACK WINDSHIELD) COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL GO OUT WHILE IM BRAKING OR SOMETIMES ITS REALLY DIM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I AM CONSTANTLY PARANOID ABOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS SINCE THAT IS THE ONLY ONE I CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHILE DRIVING. I CATCH MYSELF BRAKING IF I PASS A SIGN SO I CAN SEE THE REFLECTION TO VERIFY THAT THE OTHER BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT WORRIES ME. I DON'T HAVE $$ TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SOMETIMES WORKS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. IF IT WORKS SOMETIMES, ITS NOT A FUSE AND I DON'T THINK ITS ELECTRICAL B/C THERE IS NO PATTERN/RHYTHM TO WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT MAY GO OUT. WITH ELECTRIC, IT'S EITHER CONNECTED OR ITS NOT. IT DOESN'T COME ON FROM TIME TO TIME. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ERROR, ACCORDING TO SEVERAL WEBSITES, THEN INFINITI SHOULD RECALL THE BRAKE LIGHT AND FIX IT. INFINITI IS A LUXURY VEHICLE AND HAVING AN INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT AN OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO CONTEND WITH. THAT IS NOT A MAINTENANCE OR MECHANICAL REPAIR. IT SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY SYSTEM. *JS

I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY CLIMATE CONTROL WHICH RESULTS IN MY A/C BEING STUCK ON. MY RADIO CONTROLS ARE ALSO GONE. THE WHOLE CENTER DASH IS IN COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THIS IS A HAZARD DUE TO WINDOWS FOGGING UP WHILE DRIVING. ALSO I'VE RESEARCHED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ONLY FOR SEDANS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE THE SAME PARTS ARE IN THE COUPES. *TR
