ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT, VISIBILITY
I HAVE A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. MY AUDIO FAILED AND A/C STUCK . . . THE SAME PROBLEM THEY VOLUNTARILY REPAIRED IN 2003. (SERVICE BULLETIN #03007A AND NHTSA ITEM #10001253) IT IS CAUSED BY A FAILURE OF THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM UNABLE TO TURN ON THE WINDOW DEFROSTER AND HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THERE IS CONDENSATION DUE TO CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ROSEVILLE WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK ON IT BUT KNOWING THERE WAS ONLY 10 DAYS UNTIL MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS UP, THEY NEVER FOLLOWED UP. I HAVE SEEN MANY 2004 OWNERS ON LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN/INFINITI DON'T SEEM TO CARE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK, WHICH IS ALWAYS EARLY SINCE I AM A NURSE AND AF RESERVIST. *TR

SEATS
I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN W/ 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE DRIVER SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH SEVERELY DURING ACCELERATION OR BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE ROCKING CAUSES DIFFICULTIES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CLUTCH AND GAS PEDALS CAN BE PRESSED INADVERTENTLY CAUSING ERRATIC DRIVING. I SPOKE WITH THE INFINTI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD MY COMPLAINT WOULD BE FILED, BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD GO TO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE ASSESSED AT MY EXPENSE. I CALLED THE NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHERE I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD COME IN WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND IT COSTS BETWEEN $900 -$1,100 TO REPAIR. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN WITH JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON THE OFF-RAMP OF A FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED - STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE SLIP LIGHT UNDER THE GEAR INDICATOR. I WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWN THE OFF-RAMP AND STOPPED ON THE STREET. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, AND AFTER ABOUT THE 5TH ATTEMPT, MY CAR STARTED. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL (NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH), AND I DROVE 1/2 MILE TO MY APPOINTMENT. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP AFTER MY APPOINTMENT. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, MY CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR AFTER THE 4TH OR 5TH ATTEMPT. THIS TIME, THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH (SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND SLIP) REMAINED ON. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAFELY WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE CRANK AND CAM POSITION SENSORS AS WELL AS THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY MAGNET. THE REPAIR COST WAS JUST UNDER $700 - NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IN THE HIGHWAY THE RADIO MADE A CLICK AND REMAINED SILENT FOLLOWED BY THE AC AUTOMATICALLY COMING ON AT FULL POWER. THE DASH CONTROLS CAN NO LONGER BE ACCESSED . AT THE TIME IT IS BOTHERSOME BUT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS THE CAR IS AT DANGER. IF THIS WAS WINTER EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE FOGGED UP AND WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER . I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM .THIS PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TAKING IT INTO CONTEXT. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD BUT IT ONLY INCLUDED 23600 CARS. INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COVER THE COST. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2003 INFINITI G35 A FEW MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE I AM THE FOURTH OWNER. IT HAS RUN IMMACULATE UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. FOR SOME REASON THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TAKES ITSELF INTO AUTO MODE AND THE RADIO LIGHTS GO OUT, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL THAT CONTROL THE AC FUNCTIONS. I CANNOT USE ANY OF THOSE BUTTONS TO CHANGE ANYTHING. THE RADIO CONTINUES TO WORK AND I CAN STILL USE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO ADJUST THE RADIO, BUT I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE LIGHTS THAT TELL WHAT STATION IT'S ON NOR ADJUST ANYTHING FROM THE PANEL. THE AC GOES OUT OF MANUAL MODE INTO AUTO MODE, WHICH IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, AUTO IS A NORMAL FUNCTION, ADJUSTING ITSELF TO MAINTAIN WHATEVER TEMPERATURE YOU HAVE IT SET AT, BUT THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CHANGE IT BACK TO MANUAL MODE, NOR ANYTHING ELSE ON MY OWN AFTER IT GOES IN THAT MODE, AND TURNS OUT THE PANEL LIGHTS, MAKES ME THINK THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THANK GOD IT IS DEFAULTING TO ON AS IT IS SUMMERTIME AND OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE, BUT STILL GETS VERY COLD AND IS LOUD AT FULL BLAST. HOWEVER, IF THIS WERE WINTER MONTHS, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AND OBVIOUSLY CAUSE SERIOUS DISCOMFORT IN HAVING FREEZING COLD AIR BLOW ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS/TECHNICAL SERVICES BULLETINS ABOUT THIS ON MYCARSTATS.COM AND WONDER IF THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS. SOME FOLKS HAVE STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATING TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD... OTHERS HAVE STATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE EQUIPMENT RELATING TO THIS BUT ONLY INCLUDED THE RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I HAVEN'T YET CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH I WILL DO, BUT AM HOPING THAT THIS IS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT BY SEVERAL INFINITI OWNERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE SEATS AUTOMATICALLY MOVE FORWARD ALL THE WAY TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS MOVEMENT IS TO HOLD ONTO THE SEAT CONTROL TO MOVE THE SEAT BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET. THE CAR WAS NOT BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER. 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE 6MT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH CAR. WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR IMMEDIATELY AND IT SEEMED FINE. TOOK IT TO GET DIAGNOSED - ALL FLUID LEVELS WERE OK BUT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SAID IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (P0340). LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE FOR 2003 G35S (ID# 48751) BUT MY CAR IS A 2004 G35. INFINITI DEALERSHIPS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ABOUT RESOLVING THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL NOTICE, SO I DECIDED TO CHANCE IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 6 DAYS LATER ON AN EXIT RAMP. ENGINE CUT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE BEFORE CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS. THIS TIME IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO RE-START. TOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS TIME THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT STAYED ON. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME REGARDING THE RECALL. THE NEXT TIME THE ENGINE CUT OFF WAS 3 DAYS LATER, ALSO WHILE DRIVING. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY ALSO REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
