2004 Infiniti G35 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE VDC, SLIP AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY WAS RESTARTED AND ALL OF THE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. AS THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE LATER, THE VEHICLE STALLED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,637.

YESTERDAY, JULY 9, 2012, WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A MAIN CITY STREET THE ENGINE ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 JUST STOPPED RUNNING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. MANAGED TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VDC OFF AND SLIP LIGHTS AND THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND JUST SAT THERE, STUNNED, FOR A FEW MINUTES. I DECIDED TO TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN, AND IT DID START AND SOUNDED OK, SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT ON HOME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE FOR THE NEXT HOUR, I KIND OF FIGURED IT MIGHT BE THIS DEFECTIVE CAM POSITION SENSOR, AS THE SYMPTOMS MY CAR DISPLAYED SOUNDED JUST LIKE WHAT SO MANY OTHERS WERE DESCRIBING, PLUS INIFINITI AND NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM ISSUED ON THE 2003 G35. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH OTHERS THAT THE 2004 G35 SHOULD BE UNDER THIS SAME RECALL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER. I WILL ADD THAT LATER THAT EVENING I HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE, SO I TOOK A CHANCE THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT. IT QUIT ON ME TWICE IN THE AREA AROUND MY HOME WITHIN 10 BLOCKS. SO, OBVIOUSLY I CANNOT TAKE THIS CAR VERY FAR FROM HOME WITHOUT GETTING THIS REPAIRED AND REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TODAY TO HAVE THEM FIND OUT THE CODE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT. IT'S WHAT I SUSPECTED, 0340, WHICH IS THE PASSENGER SIDE CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE VERY THING ON THE 2003 INIFINITI G35 MODEL RECALL. *TR

MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER VEHICLE WINDOW'S MOTOR HAS CONTINUOUSLY BURNED OUT OR CHOOSES NOT TO WORK AT TIMES. I HAVE RE-PLACED THE WINDOW MOTOR SEVERAL, YET IT STILL DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO HIT THE AREA WHERE THE MOTOR IS LOCATED ON THE DOOR IN ORDER TO GET IT TO START MOVING, SOMETIMES I WILL BE THERE FOR HOURS TRYING TO ROLL UP MY WINDOW WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE I CLOSE MY DRIVER DOOR WITH AND WITH OUT A HEAVY FORCE AND THE MOTOR WILL ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN HALF WAY. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE WINDOW'S MOTOR MUST BE DEFECTIVE AND HOPES TO WRITE A COMPLAINT SO THAT INFINITY MOTORS CAN RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT, MY WINDOW HAS ROLLED DOWN DURING RAINY SEASON, AND IT IS QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE IN WET LEATHER SEATS. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE CAR BEHIND YOU CAN'T SEE YOU WHEN YOU BRAKE AND CAN REAR END YOU. *TR

MY INFINITI SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND IT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT IS VARY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER REPORTED CASES INCLUDING FIVE OR SIX REPORTED ON THIS SITE. I HAD THE SAME RESPONSE THAT ONE OTHER HAD ON THIS SITE FROM THE INFINITI DEALER, THE DRIVER'S WEIGHT. I TOO, AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS MY 4TH NISSAN PRODUCT INCLUDING MY LAST MAXIMA THAT I HAD FOR 14 YEARS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THE DEALER HAS ESTIMATED A COST OF 1,300 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH ON THE FREEWAY, AND NOW I AM DRIVING A VERY DANGEROUS CAR WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT AND NOT ONLY AN EXPENSIVE AND IRRITATING ISSUE, BUT A DANGEROUS ONE. PLEASE INFINITI, STEP UP AND STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. ITS A GREAT PRODUCT, BUT THE SEAT DESIGN (BRACKET) IS TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS. *TR

INOPERATIVE/DEFECTIVE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. NOTED MULTIPLE OTHERS COMPLAINTS ON G35 FORUMS WITH SAME PROBLEM. *JS

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY INFINITI G35 HAS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $316 FOR THE PART AND $120 FOR THE PART. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE CAR AND I FEAR GETTING REAR ENDED AS CARS AND TRUCK BEHIND ME HAVE HAD TO BRAKE HARD AT TIMES. PLEASE REQUIRE INFINITI TO RECALL THIS AND REPAIR THESE FOR FREE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY INFINITI G35 WAS GIVING POOR READINGS ON THE CAR AND WOULD NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL I HAD LEFT AND I ENDED UP RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER G35'S WITH VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR, SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART MADE THROUGH NISSAN. THERE IS A TSB BUT THEY CHARGE AROUND $400 TO FIX IT ALL WHEN IT IS A DEFECTIVE, UNSAFE PART. *TR

THE LED CHMSL STOPPED WORKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. ONE MONTH LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING. ONE WEEK AGO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO STOPPED WORKING. THESE ISSUES ARE KNOWN DEFECTS TO NISSAN/INFINITI, YET THEY DO NOT CARE TO ADDRESS THESE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED DURING COLDER WEATHER MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE RECALL ONLY PERTAINED TO THE 2003 MODEL INFINITI G35. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

WAS DRIVING DOWN STREET AT APPROX.30 MPH THE CAR STOPPED LIKE IT HAS A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK THE PANEL LIT UP AND IT DIED (NOT STALLED )NO MOVEMENT NOT EVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET...NO WARNING...NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT..JUST COMPLETE FAILURE ...FOUND OUT BY THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2003 ...DEALER CONTACTED AND FIXED FOR $268.00...CHECKED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SECOND CAM SENSOR..LET THEM KNOW THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE IF THERE WAS ANY FURTHER PROBLEM WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURY...[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE MEDAL BRACKET WAS CRACKED AND MAKES THE SEAT LOOSE AND MOVE DURING DRIVING. THIS MAKES THE CAR EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD 3 MECHANICS LOOK AT THE SEAT AND THEY HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE IN THE STEAL BRACKET USED TO SECURE THE SEAT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO A INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE DRIVER. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I AM 6'0 & 176LBS. IF THIS SEAT WAS THE EFFECT FROM WEAR AND TEAR, THEN THIS WOULD VIOLATE THE LEMON LAW ACT. NEXT, THIS SAME VEHICLE ALSO HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. THIS GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY READ THE GAS AFTER A FILL UP NOR DOES IT EVER GO ALL THE WAY TO FULL TANK. THIS WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODEL YEARS FROM THIS MANUFACTURAR AND WAS RESOLVED. I BELEIVE THAT MY MODEL, MAKE AND YEAR WAS OVER LOOKED FOR THE FUEL GUAGE RECALL. *TT

I HAD THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THE SAME PARTS TO BE REPLACED AS AFFECTED BY AN EARLIER RECALL: RECALL ID# 03V455000 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING RECALL DATE: NOV 17, 2003 MODEL AFFECTED: INFINITI G35 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200. POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED: 630000 *TT

THE INFINITI G35 2004 MODEL WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS THE ISSUE AND THE 2003 MODEL HAD A RECALL HOWEVER THE 2004 DOES NOT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE ONE IS DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGER TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON THE ROAD AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUALS DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN IS NOT FUNCTIONING. *TR

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 AND I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. IT IS AN LED LIGHT AND HAS NOT EVEN LASTED AS LONG AS THE BULB-TYPE BREAK LIGHTS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *KB

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE. IT APPEARS MANY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THESE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON INFINITI OWNER WEBSITES AND FORUMS AND THE MANUFACTURER (NISSAN) HAS FAILED TO INITIATE A CAMPAIGN ON THIS PRODUCT. THE REPLACEMENT COST FOR THE ACTUATOR IS $149-$220 WITH 2 HOURS LABOR AT RATE OF $120 PER HOUR. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT ON 2004 INFINITI G35 ROCKS. LOCAL DEALER GIVES ME THE RUN AROUND AND WANTS ME TO PAY $1200 FOR A NEW SEAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL KNOWN/DOCUMENTED DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE ISSUES WAS RAISED BUT THEY STALLED UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT INFINITI IS NOT HANDLING IT PROPERLY GIVEN THE PART INVOLVED IS ONLY ABOUT $130 TOPS. SERVICE BULLETIN NUM : ITB02080 DATE OF BULLETIN: ? TYPE: COUPE AND SEDAN COMPONENT: DRIVER SEAT SUMMARY: DRIVER SEAT ROCKS IF YOU CONFIRM: THE DRIVER SEAT CUSHION FEELS LOOSE; ' "ROCKS" BACK AND FORTH AND/OR MAKES A "POP" / "CLICK" NOISE. ' USUALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES FROM A STOP OR WHEN MAKING A TURN. ACTION: REPLACE THE FRONT SEAT LIFTER LINK BRACKET ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW ONE-P/N 87463-AM501. *TT

2/16/11 INFINITI G35 (2004) PUT INTO DRIVE AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 10 MILES PER HOUR, DROVE 14 MILES AT THAT SPEED. NEXT MORNING DROVE TO REPAIR SHOP, NOT INFINITI DEALER, AND SHOWED PROBLEM AS CODE #P2128APP SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT AND #P2138APP SENSOR> PERFORMED RE: LEARN PROCEDURE FOR COMPUTER. CAR WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEEDS. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY-KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS, AND THAT INFINITI (NISSAN) HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT BUT HAS TAKEN NO ACTION TO ADDRESS IT. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION IN THE INTERESTS OF KEEPING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OTHER MOTORISTS SAFE.

INFINITI 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKING ON DURING COLD WEATHER AND OFF DURING WARM. *TR

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN IS NOT FUNCTIONING. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T WORKING 100%, IT ONLY TURNS ON THE FIRST FEW MINUTES I USE MY BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER AWHILE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS USED, THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I'VE RECEIVED THE CAR AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT OPERATING AS A SAFE CAR WOULD HAVE IT OPERATING. MANY OF MY OTHER FELLOW INFINITI G35 OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO. WE WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO PUT OUT A RECALL AND HAVE IT FIXED TO INCREASE THE AUTOMOBILE OPERATORS SAFETY, AND TO ALSO ABIDE BY THE LAW WITH AN OPERATING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. *TR

IN JUNE OF 2009, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS SERVED AT THE DEALER (REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE COSTING $735.50). IN OCTOBER 2010, I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL CONCERNING THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, BUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY MADE REPAIRS AT NO COST. I NOTIFIED INFINITE CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT HAVING REPAIRS MADE TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG PRIOR TO THE RECALL AND THEY REIMBURSED MY INITIAL COST ($735.50). THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AGAIN APRIL 6, 2011. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND JUST BRING IT IN WHEN I COULD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON APRIL 11, 2011, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM BEING WITH THE AIR BAG MODULE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AT A COST OF $487.82 TO REPAIR IT. THEY SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL OF 2010 AND WOULD NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THIS TIME (YET I WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG REPAIR AFTER THE 2010 RECALL). THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND IT IS NO LONGER FLASHING. I TOLD THEM I WANTED THE REPAIR AND DID NOT THINK IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS. THEY SAID THEY ARE ORDERING THE PARTS AND WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY COME IN. THEY ALSO SAID THE FLASHING LIGHT WOULD EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH INFINITE CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND OPENED A CASE #XXXXXXX. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED. I AM CO

I PURCHASE MY 2004 G35 LAST YEAR AND ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 LATER I STARTED TO NOTICE A STROP GAS SMELL. DIDN'T PAY NO MIND TO IT UNTIL WHEN I MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT AND WALK OUT TO MY CAR AN NOTED A PUDDLE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND IT WAS GAS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN EVER I FILL UP MY CAR IS WHEN THE SPILLAGE HAPPENS THE MOST AND I LOSE ALOT OF GAS UNTIL IT GET BELOW 1/2 TANK THEN IT STOPS SPILLING UT BUT YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE GAS. I HAVE TURNED IT INTO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE YET TO MENTION TO ME WHAT IT IS. JUST BECAUSE THERE HAPPEN TO BE A SMALL DENT ON THE TANK UNDERNEATH THEY SAY THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME WHEN IT ONLY SPILLS WHEN ITS FULL AND NOT WHEN ITS LESS THEN HALF. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK AND CHARGE ME $1600+ TO REPLACE THE TANK. DOES THIS FALL UNDER ANY KIND OF RECALL FRO FUEL LEAKAGE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35X. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS TO THE FAILURE.

ON MARCH 11 MY 2004 INFINITY G35X EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ALARMING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILED, THE BRAKES FAILED, IN FACT EVERY COMPONENT NOT RUNNING ON THE BATTERY FAILED. THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND NOT A HIGHWAY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A P-0340 CODE AND REPLACED BANK 1, CAM SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I NOTICED ON-LINE THAT THIS PART WAS PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN MODEL YEARS 2003 AND 2005, BUT NOT MY YEAR, BUT ALSO THAT THE FAILURES REPORTED WERE AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS MY VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON A STREET WITH MORE TRAFFIC AS I HAD ONLY BRUTE FORCE CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES AND STEERING. MY IMPRESSION AT THE DEALER WAS THAT THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DISPLAY OF WARNINGS ON MY DASH PANEL. THE DIAGNOSIS TOOK VERY LITTLE TIME, THE REPAIR WAS COSTLY, THE EXPERIENCE WAS EXTREMELY MEMORABLE. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM W/ THIS MODEL OF CAR. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

GRADUALLY THE ROCKING IN THE DRIVER SEAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WHEN I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE MY DRIVER SEAT ROCKS FORWARD OR ROCKS BACKWARDS. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT THE TSB THEY RELEASED: ITB02080, BUT THEY REFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME 100+ DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I CAN SEE THE BROKEN BRACKET AND HAVE NO NEED OF A DIAGNOSIS. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT ON 03-04 INFINITI G35 SEDAN SPONTANEOUSLY FAILS. IT WILL WORK 10% OF THE TIME, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. TO REPLACE THE BULB, OWNERS HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE BACKSEAT AND REAR PANEL. INFINITI SAYS THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE PART AT AN ABSURD COST THAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE PRICE OF THE PART OR LABOR. *TR

2004 INFINITI G35. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. *LN

2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE: ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN CENTER OF VEHICLE, THE AIR VENTS, HEAT, DEFROST WILL NOT OPERATE AND AT TIMES COME ON AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDING COLD AIR AND CAUSING FILM ON THE DASH MAKING IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO SEE. WAS TOLD BY INFINITI DEALER THIS EXISTS IN OVER 90% OF MODELS THIS YEAR AND TYPE AND WILL BE $5,000 TO FIX. DEFOGGER AND DEFROST VENTS WILL NOT WORK BY MANUALLY PRESSING BUTTONS. *TR

CENTER LED BRAKE LIGHT FAILS. THIS ALMOST CAUSED 3 CLOSE CALL REAR END ACCIDENTS. I SAW CARS CAME CLOSE TO HITTING MY CAR VIA REAR VIEW MIRROR. I WENT ONLINE AND SAW MANY COMPLAINS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN REGARD TO THE INFINITI G35, THE 03-05 MODELS. *TR

COMMING TO A STOP. THE CAR RPM REVVED SUDDENLY, COULD NOT STOP IT. TOTALLED THE CAR. HAPPENNED 3 TIMES BEFORE. OTHER DRIVERS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCES (REFERENCE: ALLWORLDAUTO.COM : 2004 INFINITI G35 USER COMMENTS/COMPLAINTS.)

THIRD (3RD) BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE 1) NO TRIGGER FOR EVENT. 2) PREMATURE FAILURE OF INFINITI'S LED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. 3) LIGHT IS INACCESSIBLE TO CONSUMER - DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $400 FOR OEM REPLACEMENT THAT HAS NOT ADDRESSED ISSUE AND THUS WILL FAIL AGAIN. INDEPENDENT SOURCES CLAIM A SINGLE DIODE IN THE LED CIRCUITRY IS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. *TR

2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING. STOPPED WORKING AT APPROX. 60K MILES. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE HIGH MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "THIRD BRAKE LIGHT" STOPPED WORKING ON MY VEHICLE 15 MONTHS AGO. DUE TO MY FEAR OF SOMEONE REAR-ENDING ME, OR THE INEVITABLE STOP BY A POLICE OFFICER, I DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION ON MY OWN. I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL AND BROKEN LED BRAKE LIGHT, WITH AN AFTERMARKET LED LIGHT THAT WAS PURCHASED OFF EBAY. I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL LIGHT BULBS EVENTUALLY BURN OUT, BUT LED BULBS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO SO AFTER TWENTY TO ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOURS. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE SAFETY LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE, AT MY OWN COST, WHEN INIFNITI/NISSAN SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED A FUNCTIONING PRODUCT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE REASON I COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IS BECAUSE NEARLY 75% OF INFINITI G35 SEDANS FROM SIMILAR MODEL YEARS AS MY 2004, HAVE A FAILED "THIRD BRAKE LIGHT". THIS IS CLEARLY AN IMPENDING PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASE WAITING TO HAPPEN AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS FROM OCCURRING. INFINITI SHOULD REPLACE ALL FAILED BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALSO REPLACE ANY AFTERMARKET MEASURES THAT OWNERS HAVE TAKEN (WHICH LIKELY DON'T CONFORM TO NHTSA REGULATIONS) WITH NEW LED BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE ON ALL 03-06' INFINITI G35 MODELS. HUMIDITY AFFECTS FUNCTIONALITY OF THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT AND IN SOME CASES COMPLETELY FAILS. *TR

REPORTING A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. CAME TO A STOP (TRAFFIC LIGHT)SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF WITH FULL SPEED. HIT A VAN AT THE DRIVERS SIDE BACKWHEEL AREA.THE CAR WAS TOTALLED. THE INSURANCE CO.(21ST CENTURY) HIRED AN ENGINEER WHO DID NOT FIND ANY FAULT WITH THE ENGINE..THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES BEFORE.I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EITHER BEFORE. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET .SEVERAL DRIVERS HAD THE SAME TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. (ALLWORLDAUTO.COM /2004INFINITI G35 USER COMMENTS/COMPLAINT) I AM REPORTING THIS BEFORE SOMEONE WILL DIE. *TR

NISSAN JUST STARTED A RECALL FOR STALLED ENGINE. MY CAR (2004 INFINTI G35) SEEMS TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. NOW, THE ENGINE STALLS ONCE IN A WHILE AND YOU HAVE TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK. I CALLED INFINITI AND THEY SAID CAN NOT DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE SPECIFIC RECALL. THE CAR POSES SAFETY ISSUE IF IT IS TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY, IT WILL THREATEN SAFETY OF OTHERS INCLUDING MYSELF. *TR
