2003 Infiniti G35

I GOT MY CAR IN APRIL 2013 NOT A YEAR YET. I WAS AT WORK WHEN THEY SAID THE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK AND THEN THE ALARM STARTED TO GO OFF WHEN THE SECURITY CAME BY AROUND IT WAS SMOKING AND ON FIRE IT WAS COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE POLICE AND FIRE STATION SAID THEY THINK IT WAS A ELECTRIC PROBLEMS. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO NOW. *TR

JUST RECENTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY RADIO AND A/C UNIT ON THE DASHBOARD BLANKED OUT AND STOPPED WORKING. RIGHT AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE LATER THE A/C CAME ON FULL BLAST WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT 68 ALONG WITH THE RADIO PLAYING. AT THAT TIME I WAS ONLY ABLE TO OPERATE THE RADIO FROM THE STEERING WHILE. THIS MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS BECAUSE I WILL SOON NEED TO USE MY DEFROSTER DUE TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE, I WONT BE ABLE TO SEE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 03 G35 INFINITI SEDAN, I CALLED THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT MY CAR WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME MODEL AND EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

I RECENTLY GOT A USED CAR FROM MY FRIEND, BUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK ON THE CAR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT I NOTICED THIS AFTER GETTING THIS CAR TO ME FROM MY FRIEND, BUT SHE SAID SHE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR LONG TIME. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS THAT THE AUDIO PANEL DOESN'T WORK, THE CLIMATE PANEL IS WITH THE AUDIO PANEL, SO THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. SO I CANNOT CONTROL MY CLIMATE IN MY CAR, SO THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ALL THE TIME, IT IS REALLY HARD TO DRIVE. WHEN I CHECKED THIS PROBLEM WITH DEALER AND ON THE WEB, IT IS REALLY,,COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR AND THIS KIND OF CAR, BUT THE COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO THE DEALER SAID IT COSTS MORE THAN $1,000 TO CHANGE THE PANEL AND TO FIX ALL PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL. PLEASE CHECK THIS PROBLEM, AND CORRECT THIS, THANK YOU FOR READING MY CONCERN, *TR

STEREO DOESN'T WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN...THEN THE AC TURNS ON HIGH LEVEL AT 60 DEGREES. ? IT DOESN'T TURN OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT IN WINTER WHEN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS ARE FOGGED UP I CANT HEAT THEM UP TO CLEAR THEM WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD..I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S A RECALL ON THE SEDAN FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE COUPE.. THANKS *TR

I CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE A/C OR DEFROST OF MY CAR, WHICH IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT MY WINDSHIELDS. ALL THE BUTTONS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF A CIRCUIT BOARD MALFUNCTION. SINCE I CANNOT CONTROL THE DEFROST, I CANNOT PASS THE STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST BETWEEN $1300-2000 TO FIX. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR IN 2003 AND INFINITI SAYS THEY REPLACED THE PART IN MY CAR SO THIS FIX WOULD BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM IN CARS UNDER 100K MILES -- ONLY IN THIS MAKE/MODEL. ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF 2003/2004 G35 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $2K TO FIX A CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM. *JB

MY ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE GRADUALLY STOPPED WORKING. THE AC/CLIMATE CONTROL IS ALWAYS ON FULL-BLAST (NO WAY TO ADJUST IT OR TURN IT OFF). THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN ON OR OFF. THE GARAGE CONTROLS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. NONE OF THE LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. AFTER SPEAKING WITH TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND LOOKING UP INFORMATION ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. 9/10 TIMES, THE COMPLICATION APPARENTLY GOES AWAY AFTER REPLACING THE AUDIO UNIT. ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS/REPAIR OF THE AUDIO UNIT AT THE DEALER IS $800. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, I WAS TOLD IT'S USUALLY THE CIRCUIT BOARD, WHICH ALSO COSTS AROUND $800.
