ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE A/C AND RADIO CONTROLS IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO TURN ON THE FRONT OR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS. I COULD BARELY SEE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS WELL KNOWN AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1600 TO FIX!! THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL BECOME AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN YOU NEED THE WINDOW DEFROSTER ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

MY 2003 G35 COUPE HAVE BRAKE PROBLEM WHERE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR WILL WEAR OUT SO QUICK. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 SETS OF PADS AND ROTOR WITHIN 40KM. RICHMOND NISSAN REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR ME UNDER WARRANTY. I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF AT MY OWN COST. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT HAD THE CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED IN 2003 ACCORDING TO A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DUE TO MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES. A FEW YEARS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE DEFROST AND RADIO ALSO FAILED. SHE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED BY A TECHNICIAN THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIO. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE SHE SUSPECTS THAT THE TECHNICIANS HAVE INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW, AIR BAGS
ON JULY 7, 2009 OUR 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN (V1) WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH THE REAR END OF A NON-MOVING TRUCK (V2). ESTIMATED SPEED WAS ANYWHERE FROM 25-45 MPH (SPEED LIMIT OF THE ROAD IS 45MPH). POLICE WERE CALLED TO SCENE. AMBULANCE WAS CALLED FOR INJURIES TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF V2. DRIVER OF V1 DECLINED TREATMENT. DRIVER OF V1 LATER COMPLAINED OF DIZZINESS, NECK PAIN. V1 WAS UN-DRIVABLE AND TOWED FROM THE SCENE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON V1. UPON REVIEW, A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF V1 FOR "LACK" OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. UPON CONTACTING INFINITI TO EXPLORE THE RECALL ISSUED IN 2008 ON V1, INFINITI REPS STATED THAT THE VIN NUMBER OF V1 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPON CONVERSATIONS WITH REPAIR SERVICE AND OTHERS, THESE PERSONS WERE SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE FRONT END CRASH. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE CURRENT STATE OF V1 IS UNSAFE FOR FUTURE OPERATION AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IS UNCERTAIN. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION, INFINITI G35 COUPE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL AFTER 1,000 MILES, OCCURS ALL THE TIME. I KEEP ADDING OIL AND CHECKING CONTINUOUSLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. IT IS THE JOURNEY PACKAGE WITH THE OPTIONAL 18-INCH WHEELS. MY ROTORS ARE NOT SAFE. I ONLY HAVE 28,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND MY ROTORS HAVE ALREADY WARPED. I HAVE READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH INFINITI G35S AND I BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I AM PAYING A PREMIUM FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ROTORS WARPING ON ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP. ALSO, INFINITI DOES NOT COVER THE CHARGES WITH WARPING ROTORS. THIS IS PUTTING GREAT STRESS ON ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR FREE. *TR

SEATS
2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN MODEL PROBLEM: SEAT TRACK THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TRACK IS SEVERELY LOOSE; LITTLE BY LITTLE THE SEAT BEGAN TO BECOME LOOSER; TOO A POINT WERE IT ALMOST A ROCKING CHAIR. DECIDING THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. RESULT I WAS CHARGED $350 FOR THEM TO REVIEW THE VEHICLE AND COME TO SAME CONCLUSION THAT THE SEAT TRACK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE NEW SEAT TRACK COSTING ME ABOUT $750.00 AND ALSO THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE OF BEING WEAR AND TEAR. I INDICATED THAT IT WAS AN SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR DEFECT SEAT TRACK. THERE'S THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT ARE OLDER THAN MINE AND NEVER HAVE SEAT TRACK PROBLEMS. WHY IS THERE SO MANY SEAT TRACK COMPLAINTS? THERE IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE SEAT TRACK WAS OBVIOUSLY BOLTED DOWN IMPROPERLY OR THE SEAT TRACK IS NOT BUILT UNDER STRONG STURDY QUALITY. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITY G35 SEDAN. THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM OFTEN TURNS ON BY IT SELF. DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG SO IT IS HAD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN ON THE ONLINE FORUMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE $ 1,200 TO REPLACE THESE UNITS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
OWNED A 2003 INFINITI I35. IT BEGAN TO STALL WHILE RUNNING, AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, STREET SPEEDS, AT STOP LIGHTS. MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT PROBLEMS CONTINUED. WE SOLD VEHICLE DUE TO ISSUES AND NEEDING RELIABLE VEHICLE. TWO MONTHS AFTER SELLING IT, OUR OTHER 2003 INFINITI, A G35 COUPE, BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK TO INFINITI DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ERROR WAS P0340 AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $600. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER MY VIN DID NOT FIT WITHIN RECALL NUMBERS. IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON WEB, I FOUND PROBABLY 10-15 OTHER OWNERS OF G35 COUPES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE AND INFINITI IS SAYING, SORRY, BUT YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I CALLED INFIINITI, THEY STATED THAT EXACTLY AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY OTHER THAN PAYING FOR REPAIR OURSELVES. IT IS A SCARY, DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT CORRECTED, OR ANOTHER ISSUES AROSE, WITH THE RECALL. A G35 COUPE IS A SMALL, LOW-RIDING CAR, AND I HAVE A CHILD IN THE BACK. IF YOU ARE GOING AT INTERSTATE SPEED WITH A SEMI ON YOUR TAIL AND YOUR CAR STALLS, YOUR CHILD IN THE BACK, AND POSSIBLY YOURSELF, WOULD NOT SURVIVE THIS CRASH. INFINITI SAID, YES, THEY DID HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT STILL WOULD NOT REMEDY. I ASKED IF A PERSON HAS TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY WE NO LONGER HAVE THE I35 TO PROVE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WE ARE GETTING THE G35 REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BUT I AM FURIOUS THAT THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR BY INFINITI. I WILL TRY TO RETAIN THE PART TO THE G35. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A G35 2003 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIO 28041-AM883 CIRCUIT BOARD ON 5/10/07 (IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME). ALSO, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING UP NORTH THE CAR WOULD NOT START LAST WINTER I TOOK IT TO A INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DISCONNECTED THE RADIO - CHARGE THE BATTERY - AND IT WORKS FINE NOW. TODAY 06/30/09 I AM HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID IN 2007 - THE AIR IS RUNNING A FULL BLAST AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT OR MY RADIO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND INFINITI IS WILL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS ARE ALL THE DEALERSHIP!! ALL THEY ARE DOING IS RAKING IN MORE MONEY FOR A DEFECTIVE PART - I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CIRCUIT AND INFINITI SHOULD BE FINED!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THERE WAS NO CRASH OR RESULTING INJURIES--BUT HAVING A CLUTCH WHICH STICKS MAY EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT 50,000 MILES, BUT IT HAS SINCE RETURNED. THERE ARE MANY G35-DEVOTED WEBSITES AND BLOGS WHERE G35 OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THEY HAVE FOLLOWED UP BY FILING A COMPLAINT. MANY OWNERS REPORT THE SAME STICKY CLUTCH PROBLEM AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. FOR ME, IT'S HAPPENING AT ANY SPEED WHETHER IT IS SLOW OR FAST. INFINITI CLAIMS THIS REQUIRES A NEW CLUTCH--GIVEN THAT THE OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR PROBLEMS AT VARIOUS POINTS OF MILEAGE, I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS IS RELATED TO THE CLUTCH ITSELF. THANKS VERY MUCH. *TR
