TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY AN ACCURATE READING AT ANY SPEED BEING TRAVELED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. ON MARCH 3, 2010, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECALL OF NISSAN AND INFINITI (QX56) VEHICLES REGARDING FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNITS LEADING TO AN IMPROPER FUEL LEVEL BEING DISPLAYED IN THE VEHICLE. MY G35 HAS EXHIBITED FLUCTUATIONS IN THE FUEL GAUGE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2009. WHEN THE GAUGE GETS TO BELOW ONE-QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, THE NEEDLE SLOWLY BOTTOMS OUT BELOW THE EMPTY LINE, BUT I KNOW I HAVE PLENTIFUL FUEL IN THE TANK. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I PUT ADDITIONAL GAS IN THE TANK, THE GAUGE IS SLOW TO MOVE ABOVE THE EMPTY LINE. I KNOW MY G35 IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I WAS WONDERING IF THIS VEHICLE COULD ALSO BE FITTED WITH FAULTY SENDING UNITS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL AS WELL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, THEY HAVE A EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. MY G35 CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES , THE CAR ONLY HAVE 66,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, INFINITI TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO DUE TO THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, READ ON FORUMS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF INFINITI G35 OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND INFINITI HAS NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT . THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAS RUN THEIR G35 3,000 MILE AND HAS DAMAGE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND INFINITI HAS TURN THEM DOWN. TELLING THEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT INFINITI G35 OWNER THAT PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR A DAMAGE CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
INFINITI ISSUED A NOTIFICATION THAT THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR MAY BECOME INOPERABLE, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TO RISE. IN THIS CASE THE ENGINE PROTECTION LOGIC WILL LIMIT THE VEHICLE SPEED TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I CONTEND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THIS FAILURE OCCUR, THE CAR MAY BE REQUIRED TO BE DRIVEN MANY MILES IN TRAFFIC AT A REDUCED SPEED. THIS IN ITSELF IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHEN MY MOST FREQUENT PASSENGER OF 140 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TAKEN THIS INTO THE DEALER ABOUT 6 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUE WHEN RUNNING TESTS ON THE COMPUTER. THIS MAKES ME VERY UNEASY AS AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND I AM RISKING THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AC/RADIO WOULD TURN OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. I WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE HEAT/AC TEMPERATURE IN MY CAR NOR THE FAN LEVELS. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING, I COULD CONTROL THE RADIO WITH THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. THIS STARTED IN THE FALL OF 08'. AS TIME WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND WOULD ONLY BE CORRECTED IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN. SINCE EARLY FALL 09' I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE AC/RADIO AT ALL. MY AC UNIT HAS BEEN STUCK AT 75 DEGREES AND CONTINUOUSLY BLOWS AIR, AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. SOMETIMES IT'S AT HIGH AND I HAVE TO OPEN A WINDOW TO BRING COOL AIR IN AND SOMETIMES IT RUNS AT A LOW FAN SPEED. LAST SUMMER IT WAS NOT THAT BAD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT PERMANENT PROBLEM AT THAT POINT, IT WAS JUST MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE. THIS YEAR I FEAR THAT I COULD BE IN TROUBLE DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE BEING STUCK AT 75 DEGREES AND THE HOT TEMPERATURES HERE IN PHOENIX, MY FEAR IS THAT I WILL EXPERIENCE HEAT EXHAUSTION AS I AM DRIVING AND POSSIBLY BECOME ILL OR PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CONTROLS ON CONSOLE FOR HEATING/AIR/DEFROSTER AND RADIO FAILED & REMAIN INOPERABLE. HEAT/AIR ARE LOCKED ON AT 75 DEGREES & CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. CANNOT TURN ON DEFROSTER. AS A CONSEQUENCE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN DEFROSTER IS NECESSARY. NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AND ARE ON THIS SITE. IN FEB 2003 INFINITI DID A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE A CIRCUIT BOARD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FOR EARLY 2003 VEHICLES, BUT MY VEHICLE AND UNTOLD OTHERS WERE NOT COVERED AS VIN WAS SUBSEQUENT TO CARS COVERED BY RECALL. INFINITI NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARDS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
THE CAR WAS BOUGHT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CD PLAYER WOULD NOT EJECT OR TAKE ANY CD'S; THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT DIVULGED BY THE SELLER, BOB MOORE MOTORS OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, THE ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE (AC CONTROLS AND RADIO CONTROLS) BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE CAR NOW EMITS 90 AIR ON AUTO AC, FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOW DOWN AT ALL TIMES. IN ADDITION, I AM UNABLE TO TURN ON THE RADIO OR TAPE PLAYER WITH EITHER THE CENTER CONSOLE BUTTONS OR THOSE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE RADIO IS A RAW DEAL BUT NOT MY BIGGEST CONCERN. I LIVE IN KANSAS AND WHEN IT IS NOT VERY HOT (NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT 90 AUTO AC FEELS LIKE IN THE SUMMER) IT IS VERY WINDY AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH THE CONSTANT WIND NOISE. I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR ALTOGETHER BECAUSE I DO NOT TRUST THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ANYMORE AND AM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY SISTER-IN-LAW TO MACARTHUR AIRPORT IN ISLIP, NY. WE CAME TO A RED LIGHT JUST OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUT IT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT I FELT THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO MOVE AS THOUGH THERE WAS ANOTHER FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. FORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT THAT MUCH THRUST INVOLVED. I KEPT PRESSING HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT INCHING FORWARD AT ABOUT 2 MPH. I WASN'T SURE IF I COULD STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (FORTUNATELY I ALWAYS LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM). SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK AS WE STOPPED SUDDENLY. LUCKILY WE ALL HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PEDAL. MAYBE THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE FROM THE AIRPORT THAT MESSED WITH MY CAR'S ELECTRONICS? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
MY 2003 INFINITI G-35 RADIO WENT OUT WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. MY A/C COMES ON WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR ON AND I CAN NOT TURN IT OFF. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WON'T GO UP AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WILL NOT STOP MOVING EVEN AFTER I HAVE LET GO OF THE BUTTONS. IT FOLDED MY PASSENGER LIKE A SANDWICH. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE INFINITI DEALER THE SALEMANS SAID THAT THE AUDIO SYSTEM INSTALLED IN MY YEARS MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER WAS DEFECTED AND THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE LIFE OF THIS SYSTEM WOULD ONLY LAST ABOUT FIVE YEARS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WAS DRIVING MY INFINITI G35 2003, WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE GOING SLOW MY ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR, BEYOND MY CONTROL, I HIT THE GAS PEDAL HARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT WHILE PANICKING TRYING TO RELEASE IT. I WAS COMING TO AN INTERSECTION I HAD TO STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST EXACTLY BUT IT WAS OVER 100 MPH. IT HAPPENED VERY FAST, I DID TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT MISSED AND HIT REVERSE I THEN WENT SIDEWAYS AND MY CAR MADE SOME VERY WEIRD WHINING SOUNDS. I THEN SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. I SHOULD'VE DONE THAT FIRST BUT IN THAT SITUATION YOU JUST PANIC. AFTER COASTING TO A LONG STOP I STARTED IT AGAIN. SAME THING STILL 8K RPMS, PEDAL STILL AT THE FLOOR, I SHUT IT OFF AND INSPECTED MY PEDAL IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. NO FLOOR MAT GRABBED IT (LIKE INFINITY INSISTED HAPPENED) AND I AM 150 PERCENT SURE I DID NOT DEPRESS MY PEDAL THEN OR EVER TO THE FLOOR FOR WHICH IT COULD STICK. *TR
