I PURCHASED MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IN AUGUST 2002. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A LOT OF BRAKE DUST ON MY FRONT BRAKES. I INFORMED THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I BEGAN HEARING A SQUEALING SOUND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. THE DEALER EVEN BEGAN TO READ ME AN ARTICLE/PUBLICATION SUGGESTING THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE THESE WERE HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKES. NEEDLESS TO SAY AFTER BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS DEALER AND INFINITI FOR OVER 4 MONTHS, TO NO AVAIL I LEFT THE ISSUE ALONE. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER, I REQUIRE NEW FRONT BRAKES AT ONLY 19,000 MILES. *NLM

2003 G35 CP 6 SPD I WAS DRIVING ON THE 60 FWY GOING WEST @ 2:30 AM, TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH & ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR SPIN OUT & SKIDDED ACROSS THE FREEWAY ONTO THE DIRT ALMOST HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER. I WAS SHOCK! I WAS THINKING MAN... WHAT DID IT JUST HAPPEN? FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WERE STUFF LIKE GREASE ON THE FWY THAT CAUSE THE SPIN OUT. BUT I WALK TO THE FREEWAY & THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FWY. SO I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR TRY TO MOVE THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE REAR-WHEEL BRAKE IS LOCKED, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. SO I CALL THE TOW TRUCK & TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN RIVERSIDE. THEN WHEN THE CAR GOT TO THE DEALER, THE MECHANIC WENT UNDERNEATH AND FOUND OUT THERE WERE PLASTIC GOT CAUGHT AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT. THEN THEY JACKED UP THE CAR TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC, THEY'VE FIND OUT THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE TWISTED, THAT'S WHY THE REAR BRAKE LOCKED UP. SO AFTER THE DEALER GAVE ME A QUOTE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES. AND I ASK THEM ISN'T THAT A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURE? THEY TOLD ME NO, THEY BLAME ON ME THAT I RAN OVER THE PLASTIC & CAUSE THE BRAKE TO LOCKED. DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? BRAKE IS CONTROL BY THE DRIVER, NOT ANY OBJECTS ON THE ROAD. LUCKY THERE WAS NO CARS AROUND AT THAT TIME. AND ALSO THERE WAS NOT A FREEWAY DIVIDER RIGHT NEXT TO ME, OR ELSE WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD OF HAPPEN. I COULD CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT. SO TO ME, THIS IS A VERY MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE & NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFETY & COMFORTABLE DRIVING THAT CAR ANYMORE, AFTER I HAD ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. THIS INCIDENT HAPPEN ONCE & IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. AND IM NOT DOWN TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN. SO NOW, I AM REQUESTING THE DEALER TO TAKE BACK THE CAR. THE CAR IS ONLY 9 DAYS OLD AND ONLY HAVE A FEW HUNDRED OF MILES ON IT. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT TAKE BACK THE CAR. CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME OUT HERE? *JB

I BROUGHT THE CAR IN BECAUSE 3 LIGHTS WERE LIGHTING UP ON MY DASH FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS: THE BRAKE LIGHT, THE SLIP LIGHT, AND THE VDC OFF LIGHT. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FRONT BRAKES. TO ME, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FUEL FILLER HOSE MAY CRACK AND RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE HOSE WHILE REFUELING.
Consequence & remedy

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.
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.
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.
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.
