TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 45,000 MILES. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE AND WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT WOULD JOLT AND JERK ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE ASSUMED THAT THE REPAIRS COULD BE MADE UNDER THE EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT INCLUDE THE FLY WHEEL OR THE CLUTCH COMPONENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,800.

COPY OF WHAT I SENT TO INFINITI VIA INFINITI.COM: MY 2003 INFINITI G35 HAS BEEN INTO THE ORLANDO INFINITI DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IN THE LAST TRIP IT WAS AT THE DEALER FOR EIGHTEEN (18) DAYS AND THE ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, JOHN, I WAS TOLD THAT HE CALLED INFINITI TECHNICAL SUPPORT WHO STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS CONSIDERED NORMAL OPERATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES A TRANSMISSION JERK AT AROUND 40 MPH IS NORMAL, AS I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT HAS DONE THIS, INCLUDING THE 2007 G35 COURTESY CAR THAT INFINITI LOANED TO ME. IF THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL OPERATION, WOULD NOT ALL INFINITI VEHICLES EXHIBIT THIS? ON THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE THERE ARE EIGHT (8) PENDING COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND TWO (2) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS LISTED. ALSO, AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, JOHN, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE OTHER G35 MODELS AT THIS DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES; AND THEIRS ARE ALSO STILL UNRESOLVED. I AM ASKING THAT I BE TREATED THE WAY A CUSTOMER SHOULD BE, AS THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL WORK ORLANDO INFINITI PERFORMED AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN A VEHICLE WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. *JB

UPON TAKING MY 2003 G35 SEDAN TO INFINITI OF NASHVILLE TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH REPLACED BASED ON A NATIONAL RECALL, THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED CAUSING MY BRAKES TO BE LOCKED. I WAS ALLOWED TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT WITH MY VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION CAUSING WEAR ON MY BRAKES AS IT APPEARED THAT NO ONE TEST DROVE MY CAR PRIOR TO THE MAINTENANCE TO ENSURE EVERYTHING WAS OPERATING EFFECTIVELY. IN ADDITION, MY TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO BE SLIPPING BASED ON THE INCIDENT. *LA

Nov 17, 2003
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 & remedy
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.
Jun 2, 2003
ON CERTAIN SEDAN AND COUPE MODEL VEHICLES, THE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE BRAKE LAMPS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
Dec 12, 2002
CERTAIN SEDANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEADLAMPS, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A MEANS TO ADJUST THE HEADLAMPS. TAMPERPROOF CAPS TO PREVENT HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADLAMPS ARE THEN INSTALLED. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE MISSING THE TAMPERPROOF CAPS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE MISSING TAMPERPROOF CAPS ON THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
Sep 12, 2002
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FUEL HOSE CONNECTION FOR THE OUTLET OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ATTACHED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AND COULD COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE CONNECTION COMES LOOSE WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING DUE TO LACK OF FUEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO, IF THE CONNECTION COMES LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR ATTEMPTING TO START OR RESTART THE ENGINE, SOME FUEL WILL DISCHARGE FROM THE FUEL PUMP. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTERNAL IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, PROPERLY ATTACH THE FUEL HOSE TO THE FUEL PUMP. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN OCTOBER 7, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
