ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WINDOWS FAIL TO OPERATE (OPEN OR CLOSE) - DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC MOTOR CONFIRMED. RADIO CANNOT BE TURNED ON. AC CANNOT BE TURNED OFF - IT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AT MAX AC SETTING AND MAXIMUM FAN SPEED. CD PLAYER WILL NOT TURN ON. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OWNERS OF INFINITI G35'S. THE RADIO, AC AND CD PROBLEMS ARE LINKED TOGETHER, AS IT APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A WIDESPREAD FAILURE OF AN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD COMPONENT. THE MANUFACTURE HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH AUGUST 21, 2002. IT DOES NOT COVER NUMEROUS VEHICLES THAT PRESENT WITH THE EXACT SAME FAULT MANUFACTURED AFTER THAN DATE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CONSUMER HAS EXPERIENCED CAR A FEW EVENTS SINCE EARLY '10 OF VEHICLE BEING RELUCTANT TO STOP, EVEN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE LAST EVENT OCCURRED TODAY (9/18/11). TODAY'S EVENT WAS MORE SCARY THAN THE PREVIOUS EVENTS, IN THAT THE CAR ACCELERATED FAR AHEAD OF OUR DESTINATION AND COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER DRIVER, IF A DRIVER HAD BEEN PRESENT. THE BRAKES ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND ARE NOT WORN. AT THIS POINT, I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION, AND IT FEELS LIKE I AM AT GREAT RISK OF HAVING AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. *TT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN APRIL (2010) I NOTICED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAITED AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED. I WENT HOME AND I PLANNED ON TAKING MY CAR TO THE INFINITI SERVICE CENTER THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE INFINIT SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO REPLACED. I REPLACED IT THAT DAY AND THEN SEVEN MONTHS LATER IN NOVEMBER MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO REPLICATE THE SAME MALFUNCTIONS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD JUST HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED. SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY, BUT MY CAR CONTINUED TO NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES. THEREFORE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK UP TO THE INFINITI SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION B2 WENT OUT. I HAD THAT REPLACED AS WELL. *TT

VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. NO OVERPASS, TREES, OTHER VEHICLES, ETC. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, I ACCELERATED, WHEN MY CAR REACHED 15 MPH I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT MY TIRES. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR, PULLED BACK ON THE ROAD AND COULD HEAR WIND. I PULLED BACK OVER AND GOT OUT TO FIND THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD EXPLODED. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO INFINITI TWO HOURS LATER THE ONLY THING THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD TELL ME WAS THAT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I DID AND MAYBE IT WAS POSITIVE PRESSURE. AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION ALL WINDOWS, INCLUDING THE SUNROOF, WERE CLOSED AND THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS ON FRESH AIR. MY CAR IS LESS THAN A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AND A LOT LESS THAN 60K. CURRENTLY, INFINITI IS NOT OFFERING TO REPAIR THE SUNROOF UNDER GOOD FAITH OR WARRANTY. *KB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY INFINITI, I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING THE LEVEL CORRECTLY. WHEN THE GAUGE REACHES APPROXIMATELY ONE-QUARTER TANK FULL, THE GAUGE DROPS TO WELL BELOW THE E MARK AND THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. EVEN AFTER PURCHASING APPROXIMATELY TWENTY DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS THE GAUGE STILL REGISTERS BELOW THE E MARK AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON. LAST WEEK ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2011, I WENT TO PURCHASE GAS BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I KNOW MY TANK HOLDS TWENTY GALLONS WHEN EMPTY, SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY DOLLARS TO FILL UP, BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE PUMP STOPPED AT FIFTY-THREE DOLLARS, WHICH WAS ABOUT THIRTEEN GALLONS. THE GAUGE ON THE DASH DID NOT EVEN REGISTER TO THE F MARK, IT STOPPED ON THREE-QUARTERS FULL, EVEN THOUGH I TRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES TO FILL THE TANK EVEN MORE. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENDER IN AUGUST OF 2011 WITH A NEW PART, BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS I DO NOT KNOW THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO MY STALLING OUT ON A ROADWAY AND AM NOT ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM AWARE OF OTHER INFINITI MODELS GOING THROUGH RECALLS BECAUSE OF FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS WHICH SOUND IDENTICAL TO WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING, SO MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I ALSO HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND QUITE A FEW BLOGS DETAIL THE EXACT EXPERIENCE I AM HAVING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RADIO SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS DUE TO COLD SOLDER JOIN ON RADIO CIRCUIT BOARD. OTHER ENGINE FUNCTIONS AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS ARE ROUTED THROUGH THE RADIO CIRCUIT BOARD SO WHEN THIS FAILS, IT PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN THE RADIO SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SET TO MAXIMUM SETTING. ALSO IN SOME CASES, THE MALFUNCTIONING RADIO RESULTS IN BATTERY DRAIN. INFINITI PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL BUT THE REPAIRED RADIOS ALSO EXHIBIT THE SAME DEFECT. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY DECLINE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. LOCAL INFINITI SERVICE MANAGER STATES THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH INFINITI RADIOS. WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO COMPILE STATISTICS TO DETERMINE IF INFINITI SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

LED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO LIGHT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2003- 2004 G35 AND IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY CHIP. AN AFTERMARKET COMPANY IS REPAIRING THE BRAKE LIGHT BOARDS AS INFINITI IS CHARGING OVER $400 FOR THE REPAIR AND DENIES IT IS A PROBLEM.
