2003 Infiniti G35 complaints

HIGH MOUNT "THIRD" BRAKE LIGHT ON INFINITI G35 (03 TO ?) SEEM TO BE GOING OUT FREQUENTLY RESULTING IN VERY VERY COSTLY REPAIRS CONSIDERING ITS ONLY A LIGHT. THE DESIGN REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE SEAT COSTING $500+. A SIMPLE, SAFELY RELATED PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE SO DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS AND INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POOR DESIGN OF A SAFETY RELATED SYSTEM AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

THE DISPLAY ON MY RADIO STARTED TO GO OUT AND MADE IT SO I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE RADIO AND THE AC/HEATER. IT WENT OFF AND ON RANDOMLY FOR THE PAST YEAR, NOW MY RADIO IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND STILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY A/C CONTROLS SO IT BLOWS AT MY FEET. NOW THAT TEMP. OUTSIDE IS GETTING INTO THE 30'S, AND I NEED MY DEFROST TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD BUT CAN'T CONTROL IT... *TR

2003 G35 SEDAN CENTRAL CONSOLE A/C, SELECTED LIGHTS, AND AUDIO CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. CANNOT CONTROL HEAT/DEFROST/AIR CONDITIONING. CAUSED WINDOWS TO FOG UP QUICKLY IMPAIRING VISUAL FIELD WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE OF ITS UNEXPECTED AND UNPREDICTABLE ONSET. *TR

THE AUDIO/CLIMATE CONTROLS ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 STOPPED WORKING WHILE MY AC GOES ON FULL BLAST. CAN'T TURN IT OFF. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF MY RADIO. CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE RADIO ($900), THE CIRCUIT BOARD ($900) OR BOTH ($1800) PLUS TAX. AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE DIAGNOSTICS FEE THEY WILL CHARGE. INFINITI SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, IT'S JUST LIKE A BULB GOING OUT. WHAT A RIPOFF. . *TR

2003 G35 SEDAN, 3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK, IT'S BEEN OFF WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS NOT FIXED. I SEE MANY OTHER G35'S ON THE ROAD WITHOUT THEIR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, I THINK IT'S VERY MUCH A SAFETY PROBLEM. THERE'S ALSO NO WAY TO KNOW IF YOUR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT OR NOT, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOWING YOU OR LOOKING AT YOU. *TR

2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN 3RD BRAKE LIGHT PREMATURELY FAILS WORKS SPORADICALLY. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE AT ALL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE THUS FAR. I WILL PURSUE FIXING THIS ISSUE MYSELF IF INFINITI WILL NOT COVER THIS AS A DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

INFINITI ISSUED A TSB ABOUT AN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT POTENTIALLY FAILING. MEANWHILE THEY DID NO RECALL OR NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS. THE CIRCUIT CONTROLS ALL THE HVAC AND RADIO CONTROL. MEANING, WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS, YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO USE THE DEFROSTER TO DEFOG THE WINDOW. NO CONTROL CAN BE HAD OF THE SYSTEM. IT TURNS ON THE AC AUTOMATICALLY AND DISABLES ALL CONTROLS. *TR

PER G35 SEDAN RECALL MY '...AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS MAY, ON OCCASION, NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED....". MY EQUIPMENT FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE G35 SEDAN BUT NOT THE G35 COUPE. THE MFG'R. STATES THAT COUPE IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY G35 HAS/HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED MY CIRCUIT BOARD AT A COST OF $649.88 (PARTS AND LABOR). I BELIEVE THE G35 COUPE SHOULD HAVE SAME RECALL AS THE G35 SEDAN. *TR

REAR MIDDLE TAIL LIGHT ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN GOES OUT. OR STAYS OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE. VERY DANGEROUS AS I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WORKS OR NOT. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT INSIDE OF CAR STOPS WORKING PREMATURELY. NO WING ON MY CAR. JUST INTERIOR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. IT IS LED SO IT SHOULD LAST FOR DECADES. IT MAKES IT HARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES ON MY CAR. I BOUGHT AN ORIGINAL FACTORY REPLACEMENT PART FOR ABOUT $200. OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR

03-06 INFINITI G35 SEDANS HAVE ISSUES REGARDING THE REAR, CENTER HIGH-MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT. THE UNITS ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE LED FAILURE, AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE UNIT NOT WORKING AT ALL, OR WORKING ONLY INFREQUENTLY DUE TO SOME SORT OF WIRING OR CIRCUIT BOARD ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS ISSUE EXIST ON MY OWN CAR (2003 G35 SEDAN) BUT I HAVE WITNESSED THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER G35 SEDANS. BECAUSE THIS ISSUE COMES AND GOES, AND THE LIGHT MAY STOP WORKING AND THEN START AGAIN RANDOMLY, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO BE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE ON THEIR VEHICLE. THIS IS ALSO VERY MUCH A SAFETY CONCERN, AS IT INCREASES THE CHANCE THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHING FROM THE REAR WILL NOT NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WITHOUT THE CENTER LIGHT, RESULTING IN A GREATER CHANCE OF COLLISIONS. *TR

I HAVE INFINITI G35 AND HAVE HAD THE SAME CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO/AC/DEFROST /FAN CONTROLS. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2003 THAT WAS NOT MANDATORY BUT STATED DEALERSHIPS SHOULD REPLACE THESE CIRCUIT BOARD UNITS AS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE DEALER SHIP..INSKIP- WARWICK RI - CLAIMS MY CAR DOES NOT MEET THE PROBLEM AND IT IS MY RADIO THAT NEEDS REPLACING FOR $900 EVEN THOUGH MY RADIO WORKS THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN AND I CAN CONTROL SOUND, MODES AND STATIONS. HOW CAN IT BE THAT IT IS THE RADIO AND NOT THE CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH THEY ADMIT IS AN ISSUE IN OTHER G35'S. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE, INFINITI HAS SENT RECALL REGARDING THIS, THE DEALERSHIP ADMITS THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH BOARDS AND YET THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THESE UNITS....I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL DEFROSTING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET SOME ACTION. *TR

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT OF THE INFINITI G35. IN 90% OF 2003-2004 CARS, THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN TO OCCUR. A NON-FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. LATER MODEL YEARS DO NOT SUFFER AS MUCH FROM THIS ISSUE. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. THE G35 HAS A FANCY AND EXPENSIVE LED SYSTEM. A SPECIFIC DIODE IS KNOWN TO GO BAD, WHICH MAKES THIS MORE OF A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL: HEAT/ DEFROST/ RADIO AND CD/TAPE. INTERMITTENT OPERATION WAS REPORTED TO INFINITI DEALER IN 2008. AT THE PRESENT TIME (OCT. 2010), THE CONTROL PANEL IS TOTALLY INOPERABLE AS OF THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2010. THERE IS NO WAY OF CONTROLLING THE AC/DEFROST/TEMPERATURE. THE AUDIO/ CLIMATE SYSTEM WAS INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CIRCUITRY HAS INTERNAL FAILURE. THIS HAS POSED A HAZARD SINCE THERE IS NO WAY OF CONTROLLING THE DEFROST AND FAN TO UNFOG THE WINDOWS. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN 2004, HOWEVER I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN BLOGGED. DEALER WILL REPLACE UNIT FOR APPROXIMATELY $550.00 AT OWNER'S COST. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS A DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE MODELS. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL LOOSES CONTROL AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE DASH HAS NO FUNCTION AS IF THERE IS NO POWER, BUT DOES CONTINUE TO FUNCTION. THE "AUTO/AC" INDICATOR APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE CAR HAS TAKEN THE CONTROLS AWAY FROM YOU. THE A/C CLOSES THE VENTS TO ONLY CIRCULATE COLD AIR ON IT'S LAST SETTING. WITH ALL FUNCTIONS TURNED OFF, THE DASH TURNS ITSELF ON TO THE SAME SETTING WITHOUT ANY MANUAL OPERATIONS. THE RADIO VOLUME NOR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED (OTHER THAN FROM THE STEERING-WHEEL) AND THE AIR CONDITIONING IS STUCK ON THE LAST SETTING AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF. IS THIS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BOARD? THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. ALSO THE CAR TENDS TO LOCK ON ITS OWN. STANDING OUTSIDE TO GET GAS AND YOU HEAR THE DOORS LOCK, SOMETIMES BEFORE YOU CAN WALK AROUND THE CAR TO THE GAS PUMP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE REAR DEFROSTER BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. HE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO CHANGE ANY OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL OR RADIO SETTINGS. AFTER THREE DAYS, HE WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL SETTINGS. THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CONTACT CALLED AN AUTHORIZED DEALER; HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS WITHIN THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

THE A/C COMES FULL BLAST AT A VERY COLD TEMPERATURE. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TURN IT OFF OR TURN IT DOWN. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO USE THE RADIO EITHER. ALL THE RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH I FOUND, THAT THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT WAS IN THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT INIFINITI HAD BACK ON FEB 13, 2003 EL03-003REFERENCE, ITB03-007. NHTSA# 10001253 OR 10001162 OR 10001246. THIS SERVICE CAMPAIGN INVOLVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. OUR CAR WAS BUILT IN JAN 03 AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL IS WHAT I AM BEING TOLD, BECAUSE IT ONLY COVERED 2003 G35 SEDANS MANUFACTURED THROUGH 8-21-02. THIS CAR SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED UNDER THIS SERVICE CAMPAIGN. SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THIS CAR WAS BUILT. THIS VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO ALL THE 2003 MODELS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL AND BATTERY SERVICE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD STALL AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 112,044.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN 2003 INFINITI G35 CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF CLIMATE CONTROLS INCLUDING FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS, AUDIO CONTROLS ALSO FAIL. INFINITI ISSUED A RECALL BUT ONLYVEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE 8/2002 WERE COVERED. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN 12/ 2002. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO ACTIVATED, SUDDENLY THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER AND RADIO BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I HAVE A 2003 INFINITY G35 COUPE MY RADIO DOES NOT WORK AND HAVE LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING I BELIEVE THIS IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM DO TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS WHEN THEY FOG UP. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL OUT AT 50 MPH+ AND CONTROL OF POWER STEERING WOULD BE LOST (BATTERY LIGHT & VDC LIGHT WOULD COME ON DASH), RENDERING THE VEHICLE A DANGEROUSLY FAST MOVING LEAD SLED. POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD RESUME AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM YIELDED NO EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. AFTER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THE SENSOR WOULD GET TOO HOT AND SHUT DOWN, CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF COOLING, POWER WOULD RESUME. APPARENTLY A TSE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THE VIN FOR MY CAR SINCE IT WAS PRODUCED LATER IN THE MODEL YEAR. THE SENSOR (A $40 COST PART!) WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY AFTER PUTTING UP A FIGHT. INFINITI/NISSAN NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THE SCOPE OF AFFECTED VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE OR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD SOMEONE DIE WHEN THEIR CAR STALLS OUT AT 65MPH. *TR

THE AUTO A/C POPS ON ALL BY ITSELF, DISABLING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CONTROLS. THE RADIO LIGHTS AND BUTTONS NO LONGER WORK, THE FAN OR TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED, AND THE DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE USED. THE DEALERSHIP CONCLUDED THAT THE ENTIRE RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, A PROBLEM THAT IS SO COMMON ON THESE CARS THAT THE REBUILT RADIO PART TO FIX IT IS OFTEN BACKORDERED. ONCE AGAIN IT APPEARS THAT GOOD 'OL INFINITI/NISSAN HAS ISSUED AN INFERIOR TSB FOR THE PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SCOPE OF VINS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. SO IF YOU DON'T DIE FROM YOUR DEFECTIVE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR STALLING YOU OUT AT 65MPH, BE SURE TO WATCH OUT FROM CRASHING FROM THE FOG ON YOUR WINDSHIELD BECAUSE YOUR DEFROSTER WON'T WORK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND CRANK SHAFT SENSOR HAS GONE BAD. THERE WAS A NISSAN RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. *TR

THE HVAC CONTROLS ON MY G35 INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPERATE THE AIR OR DEFROSTER. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BUT INFINITI REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE WOULD EXHIBIT DECREASED POWER. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD. THE CONTACT INQUIRED WITH THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND WAS INFORMED HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

I HAVE A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE WITH A CAM ANGLE SENSOR THAT WENT BAD. THERE WAS A LARGE BATCH OF THESE ISSUED FOR 620,000 VEHICLES, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER MY VIN. I WAS SUPPLIED WITH A FAULTY PART THAT COULD PUT MY LIFE AT RISK IN THE EVENT THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY WHO STATED THAT THE BANK ONE POSITION CRANK SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AGAIN WHO REPLACED THE BANK ONE POSITION CRANK SHIFT SENSOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

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

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 TH

A/C CAME ON RANDOMLY AT HIGH SPEED,,COULD NOW TURN OF,,FOG MY WINDOWS WILL MY NIECE WAS IN BACK IN HER BABY SEAT,,I TRIED TURNING THE FAN'S OFF,,COULD NOT TURN OF,,AND HEATER AND CD MALFUNCTION TOGETHER. WENT TO DEALER THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE,WILL COST 1300,,IT WAS ELECTRIC PROBLEM. I ALWAYS KEEP MY CAR UP TO SERVICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED AND CAUSED ALL THE WINDOWS TO BECOME FOGGY. THE CONTACT MOVED OFF THE ROADWAY AND OPENED ALL WINDOWS TO CLEAR THE CONDENSATION. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTIONED WHICH CAUSED THE FAN TO ACTIVATE AND FOG THE WINDOWS. THE DEALER ADVISED THE FAILURE WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,400.

ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE, THE A/C STARTED BLOWING ON HIGH NO CONTROLS. THE RADIO WON'T WORK. *TR

LOSS OF CONTROLS TO 03 G35 RADIO/AC/HEAT. INITIAL POWER FAILURE ONLY AFFECTED CONSOLE CONTROLS AND WHEEL CONTROLS STILL WORKED FOR RADIO CONTROL. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE WHEEL CONTROLS WENT AS WELL. ENTIRE BLOWER FOR AC/AIR AND HEAT IS GONE. ENTIRE CONSOLE KIT AND STEREO HAD TO BE REPLACED. OLD STEREO WAS RETAINED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THIS SITE FIRST. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ONCE A YEAR BECAUSE THEY WEAR PREMATURELY. THAT IS A $1000 JOB. ONLY HAVE HAS THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS. LAST YEAR IN 09, THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING WITH 6 CD'S STUCK IN THE CHANGER, I HAD NATIONWIDE INFINITY LOOK INTO THIS, WHEN THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $1400 TO FIX, BUT MY YEAR CAR HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO I SAID FORGET IT, I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY SITTING AROUND. THEN COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF BY IT SELF A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK AND COME RIGHT BACK ON. THEN JUST THE OTHER DAY, BEING JUNE 5TH 2010 MY RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL AND I NOW HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY AIR CONDITION. IT IS STUCK ON 70 FULL BLAST. NOW WASTING A TON OF GAS ALSO. I CALLED NATIONWIDE TO MAKE AN APPT, WHEN I DISCUSSED THE ISSUE, THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN SAID " LET ME GUESS, 2003 G35" I SAID OH, SO YOU KNOW THIS ISSUE, HE SAID YES WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME, YOUR LOOKING AT !600 TO FIX! I THEN CALL INFINITY HEADQUARTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO HAVE THEM TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE DUE TO IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO RECALL. IM A SINGLE MOM, SO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY LAYING AROUND. I THINK ITS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ME NOT HAVING ANY CONTROL OVER THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS! I AM CONTACTING ALL LOCAL NEWS STATIONS TO GET SOME HELP! *TR

AIR CONDITIONING UNIT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AT THE SAME TIME, THE RADIO BECAME INOPERABLE. INITIALLY THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES PER WEEK, BUT NOW IT'S A PERMANENT ISSUE. INFINITI RECOGNIZES THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS, BUT WILL NOT RECALL BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTROL THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND THEN STALLED. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE ILLUMINATED. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUMED TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 75 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER PLACE OF RESIDENCE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HER SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND THAT ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE AT HER EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

2003 G-35, A/C AND RADIO HAVE GONE OUT, MANY MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM - SAFETY HAZARD - DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS BY OWNERS REGARDING LINKING OF THESE TWO SYSTEMS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS MANY OWNERS DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO DO THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN 03V45500 WHICH WAS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINIT G35. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

THERE IS AN APPARENT KNOWN DEFECT IN THE 2003 INFINITI G35 MODELS. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL WILL APPARENTLY LOSE ALL INDICATORS, AS IF THERE IS NO POWER, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION, STAYING FROZEN ON AT THEIR LAST SETTINGS. THE RADIO VOLUME OR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER,ETC. ARE STUCK ON THEIR LAST SETTINGS AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BOARD BEHIND THE DASH. INFINITI/NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (# ITB03-007B) TO REPAIR THE 26,300 VEHICLES LISTED BY VIN # ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A HAZARD , AS IN THE WINTER, THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE TURNED ON, OR THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. INFINITI SAYS MY 2003 VIN # DOES NOT FALL INTO THE BULLETIN PARAMETERS, (VIN # IS HIGHER), AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI STATES THE COST TO REPAIR.........$2600.00. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE BULLETIN DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO COVER THIS DEFECT ON A LARGER QUANTITY OF VEHICLES THAN INFINITI WANTS TO ADMIT. *TR

1 WEEK AGO I'VE NOTICED A SUDDEN DEGRADE IN PERFORMANCE. THE CAR IS PROVIDING 1/2 AS MUCH POWER AS USUAL, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS OR GAUGES REVEALED ANYTHING. INSPECTED OBVIOUS THINGS LIKE FUEL, OIL LEVEL AND PURITY. 2 DAYS AGO *VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING, AND WAS HARD TO START AGAIN. IT TOOK ALMOST 1 MINUTE TO RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. CAR CONTINUED TO BE HARD TO START AFTER INSTANCES THAT IT WAS SHUT OFF. LAST NIGHT: *VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, DURING MY DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I'M LUCKY NO ONE CRASHED INTO ME. *TR

RADIO AND HEATER NOT WORKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, VDC AND SPIN INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE WARNING PANEL. THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE WITHIN MOMENTS. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER SHOULD DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,937 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,923.

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

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.

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

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

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.

MY FRIEND AND I ARE DRIVING THROUGH ATLANTA ON I-285 AND MY 2003 INFINITI G-35 STOPS INSTANTLY CAUSING US TO ALMOST HAVE A SERIOUS CRASH POSSIBLY KILLING OURSELVES AND OTHERS, I HAD MY CAR TAKEN TO AN AUTO SALON AND THE DIAGNOSTICS EQUIPMENT READ CAM OR CRANK SENSOR MALFUNCTION, I CALLED 2003 INFINITI SERVICES DUE TO A RECALL ON THIS CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE RECALL INFORMED CUSTOMERS TO BE CAUTIOUS OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING FOR 2003 MODELS, WELL I CONTACTED THEM AND THE INFINITI REPRESENTATIVE EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR DID NOT MAKE THE 2003 RECALL SINCE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2002 OF JANUARY, AS IF THE SAME PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST. *TR
