VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:REAR WINDOW
THE REAR DEFROST INTERFERES WITH THE RADIO. YOU CAN'T PLAY THE RADIO IF IT'S RAINING. THE JIM COLMAN INFINITI DEALER ORDERED THE PART THAT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO COME IN. WHEN THEY FINALLY INSTALLED THE PART IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR WINDOW, HOWEVER THEY CAN'T BECAUSE MY BASIC WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WAS STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WHEN THEY ORDERED THE PART THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35, AND REPEATED HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR ENTERING THE PASSENGER CABIN THROUGH THE AIR DUCTS. INTERMITTENTLY THE AIR SMELLS "SMOKEY" AND AT TIMES THE AIR IS WARM REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPERATURE SETTING (WHEN IT IS BLOWING AIR, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING OFF). TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. DURING THE SAME PERIOD, THE CAR BURNED OIL (WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES). SINCE THEN THE DEALER SUGGESTED SWITCHING TO SYNTHETIC OIL AND THE CAR NO LONGER BURNS OIL, AND I VERY RARELY NOTICE SMOKEY AIR IN THE CABIN. *JB

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2005 G35 COUPE IN JULY OF 2005. SINCE TAKING RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE THE CAR HAS PULLED RIGHT. THIS OCCURS ON ALL ROAD SURFACES AND IS MORE PRONOUNCED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE CAR WAS ALIGNED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THEN THEY CHANGED OUT THE TIRES AND WHEELS WITH ONES FROM A LOANER CAR THAT DIDN'T PULL (AND HAD SIMILAR MILES). THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO ROAD CROWN. THE LAST TIME (4TH) TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID ALL INFINITI'S PULL TO THE RIGHT. A QUICK SURVEY AMONG FOUR OTHER INFINITI OWNERS AT WORK REVEALED THAT NONE OF THEIR INFINITIS PULL RIGHT. THE DEALER REFUSES TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. [SIDE NOTE: THERE WERE SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE 2003 AND 2004 G35'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.] *NM

MY 2004 G35X SEDAN HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND I'M ON MY 3RD SET OF BRAKES. (90% OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY WITH LITTLE BRAKING). THE DEALER ADVISED ME INFINITY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 36K MILES AND THAT'S ALL THEY WOULD DO. AFTER JUST 100 MILES OF DRIVING WITH NEW PADS THE WHEELS ARE BLACKENED WITH BRAKE DUST. MY LAST SET OF FRONT PADS LASTED ONLY 10K MILES. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2004, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES WHERE, WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED; TO STOP THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR, IT WAS NECESSARY TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. AFTER SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES, WITH THE BRAKE HEAVILY DEPRESSED, ENGINE SPEED EVENTUALLY RESUMED ITS NORMAL LEVEL. IN ALL THREE CASES, THE CAR WAS ON A DECLINING SURFACE WITH THE FRONT POINTING DOWNWARDS. NOW, WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP, I KEEP MY HAND ON THE SHIFT LEVER READY TO SLAM IT FORWARD INTO NEUTRAL, JUST IN CASE. I HAVE REPORTED ALL THREE INSTANCES TO INFINITI AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE CAR AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT. AS EXPECTED, THEY FOUND NOTHING AND DID NOTHING. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
SUBJECT:NEW INFINITY 35 BRAKE LIGHT DEAR SIR: I FOLLOWED A NEW MODEL OF INFINITY-35 ON THE OFF RAMP OF NORTH BOUND 101 FREEWAY AT WOODSIDE EXIT AT REDWOOD CITY, CA AROUND 8:10 PM TONIGHT. WHILE WE WERE APPROACHING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OF THE EXIT, THE TAIL LIGHT OF CAR IN FRONT BRIGHTEN UP SO INTENSE THAT ALMOST BLIND MY EYE. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TO ME SINCE I WAS NOT ABLE SEE THE ROAD FOR A INSTANCE. I GUESS THE SUCH FLASH WAS DUE THE IGNITION OF THE BRAKE LIGHT. THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT OF THE INFINITY-35 IS NOT THE REGULAR TAIL LIGHT SEEN IN OLDER CAR, IT COMPOSES OF MANY SMALLER LIGHTS (MAY BE LED). IN THIS NEW MODEL, THE SMALLER LIGHT LAYOUT AS TWO CIRCULATE RING. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE INCIDENT AND MAY BE CAUGHT OTHER PEOPLE OF GUARD OF THOSE SHARP/INTENSE BRAKE LIGHT. CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK WHETHER THIS IS A HAZARD TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC? I DID TAKE DOWN THE LICENSE PLATE OF THE CAR AND RELATED INFORMATION AS FOLLOWS FOR YOUR REFERENCE: MODEL: INFINITY 35 COLOR: BLACK LICENSE: 5SGH189 TIME OF INCIDENT: 8:10 PM 3/21/2006 PLACE OF INCIDENT: WOODSIDE OFFRAMP, NORTH 101, REDWOOD CITY, CA. IF POSSIBLE, CAN YOU GIVE ME A RESPONSE WHAT WILL NHSTA DO ABOUT MY COMPLAIN. I CAN BE CONTACT AT [email protected] OR 650-430-96666 THANKS! ARCHIE. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNEXPLAINABLE/UNEXPECTED REVVING OF MY ENGINE OCCURRED AT A STOP LIGHT WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE REVVED UP 5K RPM. NO APPARENT REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. NORMAL ROUTE TAKEN FROM WORK INVOLVES STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH MULTIPLE STOP LIGHTS. ABOUT 5 MILES INTO JOURNEY HOME, ENGINE REVVED AT THE LIGHT. AVERTED DAMAGE BY PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNING IGNITION OFF. CAR HAS PEFORMED NORMAL SINCE INCIDENT 2 WEEKS AGO. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS A LOUD RUBBING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END, WHICH CAN BE HEARD ABOVE THE RADIO. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE NOISE WAS A CUPPING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES, THIS IS CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 10,000 MILES. ALSO, THE CLUTCH WAS GRINDING, BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO LOOK AT THIS.

SUSPENSION
THE G35 COUPE IS EXPERIENCING WHAT SEEMS TO BE TIRE FEATHERING. I STARTED HEARING LOUD GROWLING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE TIRES, IT STARTED AT 11,500 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN MUCH MUCH WORSE AT 13,000 MILES. INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID...AND I QUOTE "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU," SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE TELLING ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE IT'S A SPORTS CAR, OBVIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CARS THEY SERVICE OR BASIC AUTO MECHANIC INFO. THEY DID ADMIT THAT THE TIRES ARE CUPPING, BUT ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE SOUND IS UNBEARABLE AND INFINITI DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEIR CARS HAVE A PROBLEM THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING. SHAME ON THEM. *JB

ONGOING REPAIR ISSUES WITH INFINITY QX56 REGARDING NUMEROUS ISSUES, PRIMARILY BRAKES. UNSAFE VEHICLE, WANT TO GET RID OF IT. OVER 30 DAYS OF VISITS TO INFINITY TO TRY TO RECONCILE ALL ISSUES, SOME OF WHICH ARE STILL PENDING. AFTER REPAIRS TO BRAKES, WE WERE TOLD THAT WHEN MANUFACTURER SENT LETTER REGARDING NEED FOR BRAKES TO BE REPAIRED, THEY KNEW THAT THIS WOULD NOT IN FACT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *JB

HEAVY VIBRATIONS FROM THE TRANSMISSION/MOTOR WHEN STOPPED AND IN NEUTRAL W/O THE AIR ON. FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE WANTS TO STALL WHEN IT VIBRATES. VIBRATIONS GET WORSE WHEN DRIVEN AT HIGH RPM'S.

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
REAR SEAT BELTS COME OUT OF BRACKET ON REAR OF SEAT. THIS CAUSES THE BELT TO RUB ON THE NECK OF PASSENGERS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD IN A BOOSTER SEAT IS BELTED IN. MY GRANDSON COMPLAINS THAT THE BELT HURTS HIS NECK. DEALER REPLACED THE BRACKETS AND SAME HAPPENS. DEALER NOTED SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER G35S. INFINITI CLAIMS THAT CHANGING THE BRACKET IS ALL THEY CAN DO.*JB
