2003 Infiniti G35 complaints

2003 G35 AND Q45 INFINITI WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE Q45 WAS EXTREME VIBRATIONS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE; PARTICULARLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. ON DOWN-HILL BRAKING, THE SHUDDER VIBRATION WAS PASSED ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. *JB

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

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.

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.

FRONT DRIVERS DOOR ONLY INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS AND UNLOCKS USING A REMOTE. THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED OCCURRING. HAVE 66000 MILES ON MY INFINITY G-35. PROBLEM CAUSES SAFETY CONCERN SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOUR DOOR IS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED WITHOUT MANUAL INTERVENTION. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. ON MARCH 3, 2010, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECALL OF NISSAN AND INFINITI (QX56) VEHICLES REGARDING FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNITS LEADING TO AN IMPROPER FUEL LEVEL BEING DISPLAYED IN THE VEHICLE. MY G35 HAS EXHIBITED FLUCTUATIONS IN THE FUEL GAUGE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2009. WHEN THE GAUGE GETS TO BELOW ONE-QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS, THE NEEDLE SLOWLY BOTTOMS OUT BELOW THE EMPTY LINE, BUT I KNOW I HAVE PLENTIFUL FUEL IN THE TANK. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I PUT ADDITIONAL GAS IN THE TANK, THE GAUGE IS SLOW TO MOVE ABOVE THE EMPTY LINE. I KNOW MY G35 IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I WAS WONDERING IF THIS VEHICLE COULD ALSO BE FITTED WITH FAULTY SENDING UNITS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL. RADIO SHUTS AND IT CONTROLS ALL OF THE INTERIOR CONTROLS. *TR

THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, THEY HAVE A EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. MY G35 CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES , THE CAR ONLY HAVE 66,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, INFINITI TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO DUE TO THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, READ ON FORUMS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF INFINITI G35 OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND INFINITI HAS NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT . THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAS RUN THEIR G35 3,000 MILE AND HAS DAMAGE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND INFINITI HAS TURN THEM DOWN. TELLING THEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT INFINITI G35 OWNER THAT PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR A DAMAGE CAR. *TR

MY AC/RADIO WOULD TURN OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. I WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE HEAT/AC TEMPERATURE IN MY CAR NOR THE FAN LEVELS. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING, I COULD CONTROL THE RADIO WITH THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. THIS STARTED IN THE FALL OF 08'. AS TIME WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND WOULD ONLY BE CORRECTED IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN. SINCE EARLY FALL 09' I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE AC/RADIO AT ALL. MY AC UNIT HAS BEEN STUCK AT 75 DEGREES AND CONTINUOUSLY BLOWS AIR, AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. SOMETIMES IT'S AT HIGH AND I HAVE TO OPEN A WINDOW TO BRING COOL AIR IN AND SOMETIMES IT RUNS AT A LOW FAN SPEED. LAST SUMMER IT WAS NOT THAT BAD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT PERMANENT PROBLEM AT THAT POINT, IT WAS JUST MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE. THIS YEAR I FEAR THAT I COULD BE IN TROUBLE DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE BEING STUCK AT 75 DEGREES AND THE HOT TEMPERATURES HERE IN PHOENIX, MY FEAR IS THAT I WILL EXPERIENCE HEAT EXHAUSTION AS I AM DRIVING AND POSSIBLY BECOME ILL OR PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

THE A/C CONTROLS, DEFROST, RADIO CONTROLS ON MY INFINITI G35 STOPPED WORKING. NO BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE WILL WORK. INFINITI SAYS THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD HAS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE CONSOLE INCLUDING THE DEFROST, HEATING AND AIR AND STEREO CONTROLS. *TR

CONTROLS ON CONSOLE FOR HEATING/AIR/DEFROSTER AND RADIO FAILED & REMAIN INOPERABLE. HEAT/AIR ARE LOCKED ON AT 75 DEGREES & CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. CANNOT TURN ON DEFROSTER. AS A CONSEQUENCE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN DEFROSTER IS NECESSARY. NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AND ARE ON THIS SITE. IN FEB 2003 INFINITI DID A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE A CIRCUIT BOARD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FOR EARLY 2003 VEHICLES, BUT MY VEHICLE AND UNTOLD OTHERS WERE NOT COVERED AS VIN WAS SUBSEQUENT TO CARS COVERED BY RECALL. INFINITI NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARDS. *TR

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CD PLAYER WOULD NOT EJECT OR TAKE ANY CD'S; THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT DIVULGED BY THE SELLER, BOB MOORE MOTORS OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, THE ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE (AC CONTROLS AND RADIO CONTROLS) BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE CAR NOW EMITS 90 AIR ON AUTO AC, FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOW DOWN AT ALL TIMES. IN ADDITION, I AM UNABLE TO TURN ON THE RADIO OR TAPE PLAYER WITH EITHER THE CENTER CONSOLE BUTTONS OR THOSE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE RADIO IS A RAW DEAL BUT NOT MY BIGGEST CONCERN. I LIVE IN KANSAS AND WHEN IT IS NOT VERY HOT (NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT 90 AUTO AC FEELS LIKE IN THE SUMMER) IT IS VERY WINDY AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH THE CONSTANT WIND NOISE. I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR ALTOGETHER BECAUSE I DO NOT TRUST THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ANYMORE AND AM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY SISTER-IN-LAW TO MACARTHUR AIRPORT IN ISLIP, NY. WE CAME TO A RED LIGHT JUST OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUT IT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT I FELT THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO MOVE AS THOUGH THERE WAS ANOTHER FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. FORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT THAT MUCH THRUST INVOLVED. I KEPT PRESSING HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT INCHING FORWARD AT ABOUT 2 MPH. I WASN'T SURE IF I COULD STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (FORTUNATELY I ALWAYS LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM). SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK AS WE STOPPED SUDDENLY. LUCKILY WE ALL HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PEDAL. MAYBE THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE FROM THE AIRPORT THAT MESSED WITH MY CAR'S ELECTRONICS? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE DEFROST BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE IS RELATED TO THE AUDIO CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH CONTROLS THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEAT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO HER VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

MY 2003 INFINITI G-35 RADIO WENT OUT WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. MY A/C COMES ON WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR ON AND I CAN NOT TURN IT OFF. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WON'T GO UP AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WILL NOT STOP MOVING EVEN AFTER I HAVE LET GO OF THE BUTTONS. IT FOLDED MY PASSENGER LIKE A SANDWICH. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE INFINITI DEALER THE SALEMANS SAID THAT THE AUDIO SYSTEM INSTALLED IN MY YEARS MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER WAS DEFECTED AND THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE LIFE OF THIS SYSTEM WOULD ONLY LAST ABOUT FIVE YEARS. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY INFINITI G35 2003, WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE GOING SLOW MY ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR, BEYOND MY CONTROL, I HIT THE GAS PEDAL HARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT WHILE PANICKING TRYING TO RELEASE IT. I WAS COMING TO AN INTERSECTION I HAD TO STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST EXACTLY BUT IT WAS OVER 100 MPH. IT HAPPENED VERY FAST, I DID TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT MISSED AND HIT REVERSE I THEN WENT SIDEWAYS AND MY CAR MADE SOME VERY WEIRD WHINING SOUNDS. I THEN SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. I SHOULD'VE DONE THAT FIRST BUT IN THAT SITUATION YOU JUST PANIC. AFTER COASTING TO A LONG STOP I STARTED IT AGAIN. SAME THING STILL 8K RPMS, PEDAL STILL AT THE FLOOR, I SHUT IT OFF AND INSPECTED MY PEDAL IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. NO FLOOR MAT GRABBED IT (LIKE INFINITY INSISTED HAPPENED) AND I AM 150 PERCENT SURE I DID NOT DEPRESS MY PEDAL THEN OR EVER TO THE FLOOR FOR WHICH IT COULD STICK. *TR

MY AC/BOSE STEREO SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE. I CANNOT TURN THE SYSTEM ON AT ALL. THE A/C IS ALSO STUCK ON AND I CAN'T CONTROL IT. *TR

CENTER CONSOLE CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT OPERATE. CAN'T OPERATE DEFROSTER AND CAN'T SEE OUT FRONT WINDSHIELD. *TR

FAILURE OF HEAT,AIR & RADIO CONTROLS 2003 INFINITI G35. RECALL FOR2003 MODEL SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL BUT PER INFINITI THIS CAR IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL.CAR TAKEN TO KEARNY MESA INFINITI THEY FOUND THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED. I THE VIN # SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDED ALL 2003 G35 AS THEY HAVE THE SAME CIRCUIT BOARD. *TR

SOMETHING WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ONE DAY WHILE TRYING TO START THE CAR AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS, EVERYTHING FLICKERED (HEADLIGHTS, DASHLIGHTS, CONTROL PANEL) AND THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. CHARGED THE BATTERY AND THEN THE RADIO, AC/HEATER/DEFROSTER DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CENTER CONSOLE, CONTROLLING THE HEATER/AC AND THE RADIO IS NOT WORKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A CONTROL BOARD PROBLEM THAT INFINITI IS NOT CLAIMING, YET ACCORDING TO THE WEB, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

G35 INFINITI-ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS RADIO NOT WORKING, CAR LOCKING BY ITSELF-WIFE WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND HEATER DEFROST STOPPED WORKING, WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF FREEWAY, COULD NO LONGER DRIVE SAFELY-CALLED DEALER $900 TO REPAIR CIRCUIT BOARD AND REPLACE RADIO. *TR

ELECTRICAL ISSUES AUTO A/C STAYS ON NONE OF THE CONSOLE BUTTONS WORK. STEREO DOESN'T WORK 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. BOSE SOUND IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE NOT GOT T FIXED IT YET. *TR

ELECTRICAL ISSUES AUTO A/C STAYS ON NONE OF THE CONSOLE BUTTONS WORK. STEREO DOESN'T WORK 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. BOSE SOUND IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE NOT GOT T FIXED IT YET. *TR

MY INFINITI G 35 FIRST BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CD PLAYER. IT NO LONGER WORKS, BUT HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO THE RADIO AND AC OR HEATER FREEZING UP. IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME GOES ON. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT I CAN NOT CONTROL THE DEFROST OR HEAT WHEN IT FREEZES. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND YESTERDAY THE HEATER ON THE CAR TURNED ITSELF UP TO 90 DEGREES WITH THE BLOWER AT FULL BLAST. MY DAUGHTER IS A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN SHE DRIVES BACK HOME ON WEEKENDS THAT SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE DEFROSTER THIS WINTER. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND WOULD HATE FOR HER TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER. WE ALSO NEVER KNOW IF THE AIR OR HEAT WILL TURN TO ITS LOW OR HIGH WITH THE BLOWER AT FULL SPEED. SEVERAL CAR MECHANICS HAVE MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 INFINITI G 35'S. ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS WEBSITES WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL.*TR

A/C CONTROLS/ELECTRICAL FAILING ON VEHICLE... DURING SUMMER MONTHS DO NOT HAVE ABILITY TO LOWER A/C (BLOWS HOT AIR). DURING WINTER MONTHS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO HEATER OR WINDOW DEFROSTER CREATING ROAD HAZARD AND PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUES. 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPLE. *TR

AC/TAPE DECK/RADIO/CD PLAYER CONTROLS QUIT WORKING. AC UNIT WILL NOT TURN OFF. NONE OF THE AUDIO CONTROLS WILL TURN ON. *TR

NO RADIO OR HEAT CONTROLS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE RADIO, HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING CONSOLE HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. HE NOTIFIED AN INFINITI DEALER IN REFERENCE TO A RECALL, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT HAS TO PAY $1,300.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM THAT IF HE DID NOT DRIVE A HOUR AND A HALF TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR AN ASSESSMENT, THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 85,000. UPDATED 11/10/09 *BF THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS INOPERATIVE. UPDATED 11/13/09.*JB

RADIO/AC WENT OUT AND ARE MALFUNCTIONING. I STARTED MY CAR AND WHEN TURNING ON THE RADIO THE AC WENT TO AUTO AC AND WENT UP TO LEVEL 5 WITH OUT ANY WARNING. MY RADIO FOLLOWED BY NOT WORKING. ALL LIGHTS ON THE RADIO AC CONSOLE WENT OUT AND I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL EITHER FROM STEERING WHEEL OR CONSOLE. THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. OVER 1700 COMPLAINTS FOUND RELATED TO THIS TOPIC WITH 2003 G35 INFINITI'S. *TR

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. I HAVE 2 OTHER FRIENDS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2003 G35 INFINITI'S, ALSO NOT COVERED BY THE SERVICE BULLETIN. 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

MY 2003 INIFINITY G35 A/C AND RADIO CONTROLS ARE STUCK WHICH IS CAUSING MY WINDOWS TO FOG UP....NOT A BIG DEAL DURING THE SUMMER, BUT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR HAZARD FOR WINTER. INFINITY SAYS MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE RECALL DATE, BUT FUNNY, THE PROBLEMS ARE ALL THE SAME NO MATTER WHEN MANUFACTURED. PLEASE HELP BEFORE THIS DOES KILL SOMEONE! *TR

1. INTERMITTENT NO CONTROL OF AC AND RADIO. 2. NON FUNCTIONING STEREO/RADIO AND NO CONTROL OVER AC 3. NONE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN V6 BEGINNING IN JUNE 2009 MY RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND MY AC WOULD KICK ON FULL BLAST. IN JULY IT GOT WORSE AND ULTIMATELY I LOST ALL CONTROLS OF RADIO AND AIR CONTROLS INCLUDING THE DEFROSTER. MAJOR PROBLEM HERE IS I HAVE NO CONTROL OF A/C WHICH RUNS MY GAS DOWN AND NO CONTROL OF THE DEFROSTER WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE COLD A MOIST MONTHS. I CAN'T AFFORD THE COST OF FIXING THE RADIO. APPARENTLY THE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE IS A FAULTY RADIO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF MY RADIO DIES WHY SHOULD MY DEFROSTER NOT BE ACCESSIBLE. *TR

AC STUCK ON BLOWING AIR, BUTTONS NOT WORKING, RADIO CONTROLS ONLY WORKS THROUGH STEERING CONTROLS. *TR

THE AC UNIT/RADIO ARE NOT IN WORKING ORDER. THE AC IS STUCK ON AT 74 AND RANGES FROM BLOWING AIR FULL BLAST TO THE LOWEST SETTING VERY SPORADICALLY. THERE IS NO POWER TO THE RADIO AND EITHER OF THE TWO CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF UP OR DOWN. THIS IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE SINCE WE LIVE WHERE IT IS VERY HOT! ALSO WORRIED THAT WITH IT BEING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE A FIRE COULD ARISE! NOT VERY IMPRESSED FOR DRIVING AN INFINITI AND THOUGHT THEY LIVED UP TO A BETTER REPUTATION. *TR

RADIO, FRONT AND REAR DEFROST AND CLIMATE CONTROL ALL STOPPED WORKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINTI G35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THE CONTROL SELECTOR MODE FOR THE RADIO WAS ENGAGED AND SUDDENLY CAUSED THE DEFROST AND THE HEATING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHICH BECAME WORSE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND OCCURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 10/13/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON IS STUCK IN THE AC-ON POSITION. THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS TO CHANGE TO HEAT, TO SET TEMPERATURE AND OPERATE THE DEFROSTER DO NOT WORK AND THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK. UPDATED 10/26/09 *BF THE CLIMATE CONTROL IS STUCK IN THE AC-ON POSITION. THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS ARE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE HEAT SETTINGS ETC. UPDATED 10/28/09.*JB

THE DEFROST NO LONGER WORKS. IT HAS SHORT CIRCUITED THE HEAT AND AC UNIT. THE ENTIRE UNIT CONTROLS THE RADIO AND CD PLAYER. CAN'T CONTROL ANY OF THESE FUNCTIONS. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2003 INFINITY G 35 HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE A/C AND RADIO CONTROLS IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO TURN ON THE FRONT OR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS. I COULD BARELY SEE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS WELL KNOWN AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1600 TO FIX!! THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL BECOME AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN YOU NEED THE WINDOW DEFROSTER ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

MY 2003 G35 COUPE HAVE BRAKE PROBLEM WHERE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR WILL WEAR OUT SO QUICK. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 SETS OF PADS AND ROTOR WITHIN 40KM. RICHMOND NISSAN REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR ME UNDER WARRANTY. I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF AT MY OWN COST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT HAD THE CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED IN 2003 ACCORDING TO A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DUE TO MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES. A FEW YEARS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE DEFROST AND RADIO ALSO FAILED. SHE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED BY A TECHNICIAN THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIO. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE SHE SUSPECTS THAT THE TECHNICIANS HAVE INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

2003 INIFINITI G35 SEDAN LURCHES FORWARD WHEN CAR IS STOPPED. THE CAR ACCELERATES UNTIL BRAKES ARE SEVERELY DEPRESSED. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS AND IN MY GARAGE. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION, INFINITI G35 COUPE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL AFTER 1,000 MILES, OCCURS ALL THE TIME. I KEEP ADDING OIL AND CHECKING CONTINUOUSLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

WELL I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM BELLFLOWER AUTO MART THINKING THAT I BOUGHT A PRETTY DEPENDABLE CAR COME TO FIND OUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS DRINKING AND DRIVING AND TOTALED THE CAR, SO NOW THE CAR SHOULD HAVE A SALVAGE TITLE BUT IT DOESNT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THE CAR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, THE DEALER BOUGHT THE WRECKED CAR FROM AUCTION AND REPAIRED IT THEMSELVES AND SOLD IT TO ME AS IF IT WAS NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENT, I ASKED FOR THE CARFAX REPORT BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY SLIPPED MY MIND AFTER ALL THE PAPER WORK, BUT I WENT THE NEXT DAY TO RETURN THE CAR AFTER I FOUND ALL THIS OUT AND WAS KICKED OFF THE PROPERTY. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITY G35 SEDAN. THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM OFTEN TURNS ON BY IT SELF. DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG SO IT IS HAD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN ON THE ONLINE FORUMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE $ 1,200 TO REPLACE THESE UNITS. *TR

OWNED A 2003 INFINITI I35. IT BEGAN TO STALL WHILE RUNNING, AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, STREET SPEEDS, AT STOP LIGHTS. MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT PROBLEMS CONTINUED. WE SOLD VEHICLE DUE TO ISSUES AND NEEDING RELIABLE VEHICLE. TWO MONTHS AFTER SELLING IT, OUR OTHER 2003 INFINITI, A G35 COUPE, BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK TO INFINITI DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ERROR WAS P0340 AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $600. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER MY VIN DID NOT FIT WITHIN RECALL NUMBERS. IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON WEB, I FOUND PROBABLY 10-15 OTHER OWNERS OF G35 COUPES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE AND INFINITI IS SAYING, SORRY, BUT YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I CALLED INFIINITI, THEY STATED THAT EXACTLY AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY OTHER THAN PAYING FOR REPAIR OURSELVES. IT IS A SCARY, DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT CORRECTED, OR ANOTHER ISSUES AROSE, WITH THE RECALL. A G35 COUPE IS A SMALL, LOW-RIDING CAR, AND I HAVE A CHILD IN THE BACK. IF YOU ARE GOING AT INTERSTATE SPEED WITH A SEMI ON YOUR TAIL AND YOUR CAR STALLS, YOUR CHILD IN THE BACK, AND POSSIBLY YOURSELF, WOULD NOT SURVIVE THIS CRASH. INFINITI SAID, YES, THEY DID HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT STILL WOULD NOT REMEDY. I ASKED IF A PERSON HAS TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY WE NO LONGER HAVE THE I35 TO PROVE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WE ARE GETTING THE G35 REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BUT I AM FURIOUS

2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER NOT STARTING VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS. THE CD PLAYER IS THE CULPRIT AND THE "EJECT" CONTINUES TO CYCLE EVEN WITH THE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 MONTHS THAT THE NEW BATTERY IS DEAD AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS. *TR

MY 2003 INFINITY G35 HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO WHICH CAUSES THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM TO FREEZE UP DEFROSTER WILL NOT WORK FRONT OR REAR CAUSING FOGGING WHEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES THIS IMPAIRS MY VISION AND CREATES A DANGEROUS CONDITION INFINITY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS THEY RECALLED SOME VEHICLES SO THEIR AWARE OF THIS CONDITION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 G35 INFINITI FAILED AFTER ONLY 76,000 MILES. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. I HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED FOR $4,000 PLUS AFTER NEGOTIATING WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN SUCH A MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE AFTER ON A LUXURY CAR. *TR
