SEATS, SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
DRIVERS SEAT "ROCKS" BACK AND FORTH, SOMETIMES EMITTING A "POPPING" OR "CLICKING" NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHILE CORNERING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS CAUSED DISRUPTION OF NORMAL DRIVING HABITS, RESULTING IN ERRATIC ACCELERATION AND OVER AND UNDERSTEERING. I HAVE FOUND CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SEAT REDUCE THE MOVEMENT, BUT THESE ADJUSTMENTS MAKE THE SEAT UNCOMFOTABLE AND DO NOT PROVIDE THE PROPER SITTING POSITION I NEED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE THUS NOTIFIED TWO SEPERATE INFINITI DEALERSHIPS, BOTH OF WHOM WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND ONE OF WHICH MADE THE MOVEMENT WORSE DURING THEIR "INSPECTION" OF THE FAULTY SEAT. I OWN AN INFINITI G35 WITH THE PREMIUM PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES LEATHER UPHOLSTERY AND A FULL-POWER DRIVERS SEAT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
I PURCHASED MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IN AUGUST 2002. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A LOT OF BRAKE DUST ON MY FRONT BRAKES. I INFORMED THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I BEGAN HEARING A SQUEALING SOUND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. THE DEALER EVEN BEGAN TO READ ME AN ARTICLE/PUBLICATION SUGGESTING THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE THESE WERE HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKES. NEEDLESS TO SAY AFTER BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS DEALER AND INFINITI FOR OVER 4 MONTHS, TO NO AVAIL I LEFT THE ISSUE ALONE. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER, I REQUIRE NEW FRONT BRAKES AT ONLY 19,000 MILES. *NLM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT
I AM A 5'2" FEMALE AND HAVE A NEW G35 SPORT COUPE. THE SEAT BELT SHOLDER STRAP CUTS INTO MY NECK DO TO THE FACT THE STARTING POINT OF THE SEAT BELT IS TOO FAR BACK WHEN I ADJUST MY SEAT FORWARD IN ORDER TO REACH THE FOOT PEDALS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE CONSUMER DEPT. AT INFINTI AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS SHOULDER BELT WOULD SURLEY CUT INTO MY NECK AND CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. PLEASE ADVISE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
2003 G35 CP 6 SPD I WAS DRIVING ON THE 60 FWY GOING WEST @ 2:30 AM, TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH & ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR SPIN OUT & SKIDDED ACROSS THE FREEWAY ONTO THE DIRT ALMOST HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER. I WAS SHOCK! I WAS THINKING MAN... WHAT DID IT JUST HAPPEN? FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WERE STUFF LIKE GREASE ON THE FWY THAT CAUSE THE SPIN OUT. BUT I WALK TO THE FREEWAY & THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FWY. SO I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR TRY TO MOVE THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE REAR-WHEEL BRAKE IS LOCKED, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. SO I CALL THE TOW TRUCK & TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN RIVERSIDE. THEN WHEN THE CAR GOT TO THE DEALER, THE MECHANIC WENT UNDERNEATH AND FOUND OUT THERE WERE PLASTIC GOT CAUGHT AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT. THEN THEY JACKED UP THE CAR TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC, THEY'VE FIND OUT THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE TWISTED, THAT'S WHY THE REAR BRAKE LOCKED UP. SO AFTER THE DEALER GAVE ME A QUOTE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES. AND I ASK THEM ISN'T THAT A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURE? THEY TOLD ME NO, THEY BLAME ON ME THAT I RAN OVER THE PLASTIC & CAUSE THE BRAKE TO LOCKED. DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? BRAKE IS CONTROL BY THE DRIVER, NOT ANY OBJECTS ON THE ROAD. LUCKY THERE WAS NO CARS AROUND AT THAT TIME. AND ALSO THERE WAS NOT A FREEWAY DIVIDER RIGHT NEXT TO ME, OR ELSE WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD OF HAPPEN. I COULD CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT. SO TO ME, THIS IS A VERY MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE & NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFETY & COMFORTABLE DRIVING THAT CAR ANYMORE, AFTER I HAD ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. THIS INCIDENT HAPPEN ONCE & IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. AND IM NOT DOWN TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN. SO NOW, I AM REQUESTING THE DEALER TO TAKE BACK THE CAR. THE CAR IS ONLY 9 DAYS OLD AND ONLY HAVE A FEW HUNDRED OF MILES ON IT. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT TAKE BACK THE CAR. CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME OUT HERE? *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CAR IS 7 MONTHS OLD WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD NO FRONT BRAKES. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN BECAUSE 3 LIGHTS WERE LIGHTING UP ON MY DASH FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS: THE BRAKE LIGHT, THE SLIP LIGHT, AND THE VDC OFF LIGHT. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FRONT BRAKES. TO ME, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
WHILE DRIVING ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO HIGHWAY THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS WHERE AN OBJECT COULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED. THE ENTRANCE RAMP AT THE POINT OF IS LONG WAY FROM ANY OTHER TRAFFIC. I FAIL TO SEE HOW A SMALL PEBBLE COULD CAUSE THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER INTO SO MANY PIECES (THIS IS WHAT DEALER CLAIMS) DT
