AIR BAGS
ON QUITE A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN MY WIFE OR GROWN DAUGHTER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. EVERY TIME I LOOK TO MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T SITTING ODDLY IN A WAY THAT WOULD GIVE A FALSE READING TO THE SENSOR AND THEY AREN'T. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT IT IS "...OPERATING AS DESIGNED." DURING THE MOST RECENT SERVICE CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER OPENED A FORMAL CASE WITH THE MANUFACTURER BUT ONCE AGAIN THE MESSAGE WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE. PERSONALLY I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PART OF TURNING OFF THE AIRBAG WHEN AN ADULT-SIZED PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT IS CONSIDERED "AS DESIGNED". THIS WHOLE SITUATION MAKES ME QUITE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGER EVERY TIME I NOTICE THAT THE LIGHT IS ON. NISSAN SEEMS TO THINK THAT BY TELLING ME THAT THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM THAT EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT. THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT HOW I SEE IT!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
2003 INFINITI G35. THE RADIO, A/C, & HEAT CONTROLS GO OUT DUE TO A TERRIBLE MISTAKE BY THE ENGINEERS IN ROUTING THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS TO ONE CIRCUIT BOARD. LIVING IN THE MID-WEST THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS WHEN IT'S SNOWING. INFINITI ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL, BUT MOST LIKELY MISSED AROUND 90,000 CARS. THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOTHING, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY RISK. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY CAR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS THE BRAKE LIGHT THAT RESIDES ON THE REAR ACCESSORY PACKAGE ON THE INSIDE OF THE CARS ALONG WITH THE SPEAKERS. THE LIGHTS ARE NOT REPLACEABLE IN THIS UNIT BECAUSE THEY ARE LED AND HAVE NOTICE MANY OTHER G35 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS AN OUTRAGEOUS 125 DOLLAR REPLACEMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD LAST INDEFINITELY SINCE THEY ARE LEDS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH INFINITI G35 COUPE'S AND SEDANS. MANY G35 OWNERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY INCLUDING MY HOMETOWN ARIZONA, HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT (IN THE REAR VIEW WINDOW) NOT DISPLAYING WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE MANUFACTURE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I FIGURED THIS IS A STEP FOR NOT JUST OTHER OWNERS TO REALIZE THE PROBLEM BUT TO HAVE IT ANNOUNCED NATION WIDE SO WE ARE NOT AT FAULT FOR THE FAULTY PRODUCT. WE DON'T WANT TO BE PULLED OVER FOR NOT HAVING A NON WORKING THIRD BRAKE LIKE OR EVEN CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO SOMEONE NOT SEEING A BRAKE LIGHT IN THE CENTER. AS A OWNER OF INFINITI G35 COUPE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPONENTS THAT NEED ADDRESSING TO BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THAT THE OWNERS ARE ABLE TO DO. I WRITE YOU THIS IN ORDER TO HAVE ANOTHER WORD THAT IS HIGHER UP THE JUST AN AVERAGE JOE OWNER COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE PRODUCT. THIS IS A FAULTY PART THAT US AS OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE A FAULT FOR IN ANY MEANS. I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS IN THE SENSE OF GETTING THE ISSUE RESOLVED AND HAVING THE ROADS SAFE KNOWING THERE IS A THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ENGAGING AND LIGHTING UP FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE. THANKS *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT (INSIDE GLASS). THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE G35. IT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO NISSAN OF AMERICA'S ATTENTION. THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN THAT 28 PEOPLE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT TO YOU ON MY CAR FORUM. BUT I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF IT WERE JUST ONE CAR WITH THE ISSUE THEN I WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR IT, BUT SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, NISSAN OF AMERICA NEEDS TO FIX THIS AS IT WAS A PRODUCTION ISSUE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN HAS A MALFUNCTIONING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. THE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING ON MY CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO. WHEN I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD FIX IT FOR A FEE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY OWNERS OF THIS CAR ON FORUMS AND IN PERSON, AND MANY COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT INFINITI DOES NOT AGREE. MY MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A SPOILER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MANY OWNERS I SPOKE WITH FEEL THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD PAY FOR. *TR
