Which Infiniti G35 years should you avoid?
Going by 1,351 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Infiniti G35 years to avoid are 2003 and 2004.
- 2003533 complaints, 3.0× a typical G35 year, most often about the electrical system.
- 20042.5× the usual share of fires, crashes and deaths for a car of its age (5 fires, 17 crashes, 3 deaths).
How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
