SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKING, MY VEHICLE'S ABS SYSTEM DIPS HARD AND PULLS HEAVILY TO THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A HARSH RIGHT SIDE PULL TO THE STEERING WHEEL. HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-65 MPH AND 30-35 MPH, DRY AND WET ROADS, HIGHWAY AND SURFACE STREETS. TIRES WERE NEARLY NEW AND PROPERLY INFLATED DURING ONE OCCURRENCE. HAVE REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES BUT REFUSE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS VEHICLE IS "TOO SOPHISTICATED" TO DO ANY FURTHER INSPECTION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY INFINITI 2003 G35 RADIO CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED BECAUSE OF FAULTY ENGINEERING. THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD DEFROST FUNCTION TO STOP WORKING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET SITTING THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI WANTS 800.00 TO REPAIR THE RADIO TO GET THE DEFROSTER TO WORK AGAIN. THIS IS HAPPENING FOR ALL PEOPLE THAT HAVE G35 2003. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN DAMP WEATHER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A NOISE WHICH APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING 20 MILES AND THE NOISE CONTINUED. HE STATED THAT HE HAD TO DRIVE SLOWER BECAUSE WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT, THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE NOISE BUT INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CONTACT HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AGAIN WHO REFERRED HIM TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO REPLACED. HE WANTED TO EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE FOR A DIFFERENT ONE BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENT LOSS OF CONTROL OF RADIO, A/C, FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. DISCUSSED WITH DEALER (NOT VERY HELPFUL) AND HAD A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD BY DEALER AS REPROGRAMMING OF THE RADIO IS REQUIRED AND CAN ONLY BE DONE BY THE DEALER.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE CONTROL PANEL FOR OPERATION OF THE A/C, RADIO, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, THE ENGINE THROTTLE IS UNABLE TO BE RESET. IT IDLES AT 1000 RPM AND DOES NOT REDUCE RPMS WHEN SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES A SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR VEHICLE DO APPEAR ON A RECALL LIST, THE VIN NUMBER IS OUT OF RANGE SO THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS FILLING GAS ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ($35 WORTH), I STARTED DRIVING OFF ONLY TO BE STOPPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER 100 FEET AWAY FROMTHE GAS STATION. THE DRIVER STOPPED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS. AFTER LOOKING AT IT, GAS WAS JUST POURING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR, IN LESS THAN MINUTES MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I READ THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2004 INIFNITI G35 (FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEMS). HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING INIFINITY, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT INSTEAL INDICATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WILL OFFER TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX MY CAR FOR A FEE. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE FIRES. PLEASE HELP BRING THIS MATTER TO LIGHT. THANKS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 INFINITI G35 CONSUMES OIL THAT NISSAN IS AWARE ABOUT. THE CAR DOESN'T BURN OIL OR LEAK OIL, BUT CONSUMES AROUND 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1800 MILES. THE MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDS AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,750 MILES. I CHANGE MY OIL AT 3000 MILES AND EVERYTIME I CHANGE MY OIL MY CAR IS ALWAYS 3 QUARTS LOW. MY CAR STARTS TO MAKE NOISES AT START UP AND MY LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DEALER INSTALLED A NEW AIR/FUEL SENSOR. TWENTY SEVEN MILES LATER THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALESHIP HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEIR SHOP. THEN INFORMED ME THAT A CODEP2135 WAS DETECTED. THE VEHILCE HAD JUST BEEN DIAOGNOSTICALLY TESTED AND REPAIRED. COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A LARGE PICK-UP STOPPED ONLY ABOUT TWO FEET FROM MY STALLED VEHICLE. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AND HAD NORMAL POWER, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON.L *CN

SEATS, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, EQUIPMENT
I HAVE 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKED BACK-AND-FORTH. TOOK IT TO INFINITI DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY HAD SEPARATED DUE TO FAULTY WELD JOINTS! DEALER STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY SEAT WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. DEALER ALSO STATED THAT IF I DIDN'T PAY THE $1,100.00 TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND I WAS IN ANY KIND OF CAR ACCIDENT, THE FAULTY DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY WOULD CAUSE THE SEAT TO BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE CAR AND CAUSE THE SEAT TO BE THROWN ABOUT INSIDE THE CAR. I THEREFORE PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACED. HOWEVER, A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE ROCKING IS STARTING AGAIN! CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLIES THAT ARE COMING DIRECTLY FROM NISSAN, WHICH OWNS INFINITI! IN FACT, ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEBSITE, OTHER NISSAN CARS FROM 2003, LIKE THE 350Z ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SEATS! CLEARLY THIS IS WORTHY OF SOME TIME OF INVESTIGATION OR RECALL SINCE THE NHTSA HAS ON FILE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS SAME ISSUE FROM NISSAN CARS! *CN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE- LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING FOLLOWED BY "SLIP" AND VRC WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON. THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY. GOOD THING IT'S A MANUAL TRANMISSION AND I COULD COAST TO THE SIDE. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT . TESTS REVEAL BOTH CAM SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS LIKE THIS YET NO RECALL IS BEING PRODUCED. THIS IS ALMOST AS BAD AS THE TOYOTA ACCELARATION PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY
I HAVE AN INFINITI G35 (2003) THAT HAS SUDDENLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAT AND AIR CONTROLS. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, IT WOULD GO OUT AFTER THE CAR WAS ON FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. NOW, THE CONTROLS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CREATE A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR A DRIVER WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP IN EITHER COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS (AFTER BEING GARAGED) OR HUMID WEATHER CONDITIONS AFTER A RAIN SHOWER IN THE HOT SUMMER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AS THE DRIVER IS OPERATING THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF OTHER 2003 G35 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, INFINITI KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR ALL VEHICLES IN WHICH THIS OCCURS. THERE WAS ONLY A VOLUNTARY POSTING AND IT ONLY INCLUDED VEHICLES MADE IN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD. OBVIOUSLY, THE TIMEFRAME ESTABLISHED BY INFINITI IS NOT CORRECT AS THERE ARE MANY CASES WHERE THIS DEFECT IS STILL OCCURRING. THIS SAFETY CONCERN NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. I HAVE NOT HAD A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ONE IN THE FUTURE. OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM MOST LIKELY FEEL THE SAME WAY......SOME MAY HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

STEERING
INFINITI G 35X 2007. AT 20,000 MILES, THE POWER STEERING BELT BROKE DURING SPEEDS OF 60 MPH. I WAS TOLD THE BELT WAS DEFECTIVE. AT 25,000 MILES, THE BELT BROKE AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH. I HAD DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND AM TRAFFIC HEAVY WITH NO SHOULDER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BELT AGAIN BUT WAS UNABLE TO STATE THE CAUSE. THEY STATED THEY REPLACED PARTS SURROUNDING THE BELT. I NOW HAVE APPROX 28,000 MILES AND A WHEEL BEARING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN, THE PARENT COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE POWER STEERING ISSUE BUT STATES THAT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. I BELIEVE I HAVE A LEMON VEHICLE BUT WASHINGTON STATE LEMON LAW STATES TOO MUCH TIME HAS ELAPSED TO BE COVERED UNDER THIS. WE RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN CORP. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ABNORMALLY ACCELERATE. SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NO AVAIL. A PEDESTRIAN WAS IN HER PATH WHEN SHE FORCED THE VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION TO AVOID HITTING HIM. IMMEDIATELY, THERE WAS A SUDDEN AND ABNORMAL INCREASE IN THE ENGINE RPMS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD NOISE. SHE SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
MY 2003 INFINITY G35 SEDAN'S HEATER WILL STAY ON HIGH WITH THE RADIO AND HEATING CONTROL REMOVED. I CAN ACCESS THE RADIO THROUGH THE STEREO, BUT HAVE NO DASHBOARD CONTROLS OF THE RADIO OR AC AT ALL. *TR DEALERSHIP WANTS "PRE-PAID" A $700 AUDIO FINISHER/CIRCUIT BOARD. WHEN THE PART CAME IN, THEY WOULD INSTALL IT, AND IF THE RADIO/CD PLAYER WAS DEFECTIVE, IT WOULD FRY THE FINISHER IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEN THEY WOULD KNOW THAT THE RADIO WAS BAD, AND WOULD SEND IT OUT FOR A RE-BUILD FOR APPROXIMATELY $350 AND TWO WEEKS WORTH OF WAITING WITH NO TUNES OR VENTILATION SYSTEM. PLUS LABOR, OF COURSE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY CAR HAS BEEN INCORRECT FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. IT WOULD SUDDENLY DIP DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN AFTER TRAVELING ONLY 20 MILES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE GAGE WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AND HAS CAUSED ME TO PANIC MANY TIMES WHILE DIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY KNOW HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN THE TANK IS BY RESETTING MY TRIP MONITOR AFTER EACH FUELING AND NOT TO EXCEED 220 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT REFILL. I HAVE A COUSIN WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

INFINITI WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING A DEFECTED PRODUCT AROUND THE DOOR PULLS AND STEERING WHEEL ALTHOUGH ONLINE YOU CAN READ MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR
