ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TURNED ON THE BOSE RADIO, THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT ON FULL BLAST AND THE WHOLE CONTROL PANEL WENT OUT. I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND THIS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION(NO SPEEDOMETER, DEFROSTER, ETC.). NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITHOUT USE OF DEFROSTER, THIS SITUATION CAN BE FATAL! I HAVE READ THE EDMUNDS FORUM REGARDING THIS ISSUE(AND ALSO NHSTA COMPLAINTS) AND THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON. APPARENTLY INFINITI RECALLED SOME 2003 MODELS(MADE BEFORE JUNE 2002) BUT SINCE MINE WAS MADE IN NOV. 2002 IT IS NOT INCLUDED. THE FIX I HAVE READ ABOUT COSTS $1500-$2000(AND SOME OF THESE HAVE FAILED AGAIN WITH NO MORE HELP FROM INFINITI). YOUR HELP IN GETTING EVERY 2003 G-35 RECALLED AND FIXED PERMANENTLY WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

AIR CONDITIONING BLASTS AT ALL TIMES THAT CAR ENGINE IS RUNNING. NO WAY TO CONTROL, LOWER OR CHANGE THE A/C DEFROSTER, HEAT OR DEFOGGER. RADIO PANELS ARE SIMILARLY "BLACKED OUT" MEANING THEY ARE NOT WITHIN THE CONTROL OF THE OPERATOR. MULTIPLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED SIMILAR OWNERS IT WILL BE $4,000 TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS LARGELY A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY OF THIS ISSUE AS WHEN TOYOTA'S WERE RECALLED AND PEOPLE WERE INJURED IT WAS THE INSURANCE COMPANY, (STATE FARM) THAT REALIZED THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION FIRST. *KB

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 AND I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. IT IS AN LED LIGHT AND HAS NOT EVEN LASTED AS LONG AS THE BULB-TYPE BREAK LIGHTS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I AM HAVING A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY 2005 INFINITI G35X WHICH HAS A FLAWED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR GAUGE. I HAVE READ IN MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND FILING A COMPLAINT. IT IS A SERIOUS MATTER, THE METER SOMETIMES READS FULL BUT IS ACTUALLY CLOSE TO EMPTY. THIS CAN LEAD TO AN ENGINE SHUT-OFF ON INTERSTATE AND EXPRESSWAYS AND POSE AS A MAJOR HAZARD TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. I BELIEVE NISSAN/INFINITI SHOULD OFFER A RECALL OR DRIVERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ANY REPAIRS THAT THERE CAR WILL UNDERGO TO FIX THE PROBLEM.. THANK YOU. *KB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I DRIVE A 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT HAS NOW BEEN OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS NOW. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE SAME CAR AS ME ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE ADDRESSES THE ISSUE TO YOU. I AM VERY SHOCKED THAT SOMETHING HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. I DRIVE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MOST OF THE DAY AND FEAR THAT SINCE MY BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON I WILL GET HIT. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A TECHNICAL ISSUE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO KNOW I COULD BE IN A FATAL ACCIDENT JUST BECAUSE OF A LIGHT NOT WORKING. I HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND INFINITI BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. *TT

SUSPENSION
THE INFINITI G AND NISSAN 350Z HAVE SIGNIFICANT TIRE WEAR ISSUES. THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITHOUT THE MEANS TO ADJUST THE TIRE CAMBER. THEREFORE, TIRES ARE LASTING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE OVERHEATING AND TIRE BELTS ARE BREAKING. I CONSIDER THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD A TIRE FAILURE THIS LAST WEEKEND DUE TO A BROKEN TIRE BELT. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN THE WORKS, BUT I FEEL A DOT INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR EFFORTS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
UNUSUAL HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION NOTICED AROUND 25,000 MILES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT DRIVE MUCH OR ABUSE THE ENGINE, I JUST WANTED A RELIABLE CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. #1 DEALER (VERY HOSTILE) TESTED OIL AFTER 1000 MILES SHOWING ONLY 4MM MISSING, HOWEVER THE SAME MORNING I HAVE DOCUMENTED PICTURES SHOWING 9 TO 10MM OF OIL MISSING ON THE DIP STICK. CONCLUSION: DEALER ADDED OIL PRIOR OF CALLING ME IN TO SEE THEIR OIL CHECK! ASKED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REDO TEST AT SECOND DEALER. #2 DEALER WAS MUCH NICER TO MY COMPLAINT, BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR AFTER THE FREE OIL FILL, THE DIP STICK WAS SEALED WITH A PLASTIC TIE! THEIR ANSWER WAS: "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL UNTIL YOU COME BACK AFTER 2000 MILES" !!!. AFTER 2000 MILES OF DRIVING THEY OPENED THE SEAL ON THE DIP STICK WHICH SHOWED ABOUT 12MM OF OIL LOSS. (HAVE PICTURE). NOW I CONCLUDED THAT THE DIPSTICK WAS SEALED SO I CANNOT SEE THAT THEY (DEALER #2) OVERFILLED OIL BY ABOUT 1/2 QUART, WHY I AM SAYING THIS ? BECAUSE IN ALL MY PRIVATE MEASUREMENTS SHOW ABOUT 10MM PER 1000 MILES AND 20 MM AT 2000 MILES, WHICH IS IN THE BAD RANGE AS SHOWN IN THEIR OWN TSB. CURRENTLY THE ODOMETER IS 32,275 MILES, WHICH IS EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE FOR SUCH AN OIL LOSS. THEY HAVE REVISED THE TSB 4 TIMES TO DATE. *TR
