2003 Infiniti G35

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

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 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

RECENTLY THE AUDIO/AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL UNIT IS INOPERATIVE. THE DISPLAY ON THE AUDIO SOURCE GOES BLANK. SINCE I CAN'T CONTROL MY HEAT/COOL SETTING I FEEL HELPLESS WHEN I WANT TO ADJUST FOR COMFORT. I HAVE BEEN READING A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE HAVE A VOLUNTEER SERVICE RECALL FOR THE CIRCUIT BOARD, BUT IT ONLY COVERS THROUGH APRIL 2002. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON DECEMBER 2002. CAN YOU TELL ME IF THEIR HAS BEEN AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE SERVICE RECALL THAT WOULD PUT ME IN A BETTER POSITION? *TR
