2003 Infiniti G35

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WELDING JOINT WAS COMING APART AND DAMAGING THE BASE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE BASE WAS UNSAFE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT THE NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 46,000. THE CONSUMER STATED IN JANUARY 20009, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK FORTH WHENEVER HE ACCELERATED FROM A COMPLETE STOP. AT FIRST, THE ROCKING WAS ISOLATED TO WHEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED FROM A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, AFTER TWO WEEKS THE ROCKING WOULD OCCUR WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF ABOUT 70 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE CONDITION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME SO SEVERE THAT THE SEAT COULD BE ROCKED BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ANY PERSON SEATED IN IT. THE DRIVER'S SEAT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. UPDATED 02/09/11 THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDOW DEFROSTER SUDDENLY SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. AT THE SAME TIME, THE AIR CONDITIONER RESET ITSELF TO 60 DEGREES AND TURNED ITSELF ON AT MAXIMUM FORCE. THE LIGHTS ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL AND RADIO PANEL WENT DARK. ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO SHUT OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RESTART THE WINDOW DEFROSTED, BUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON WERE NON-RESPONSIVE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE RADIO WAS THROUGH THE CONTROL BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. UNLIKE THE RADIO THERE WAS NO SECONDARY CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON. WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF THE WINDOW DEFROSTER SHUTTING OFF, ALL OF THE WINDOWS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BECAME FOGGY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT ALONG WITH THE RADIO WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 1,329.01. THE DEALER STATED THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS WERE BOTH INTERTWINED WITH THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. UPDATED 09/10/12 THE CONSUMER STATED THE AUDIO FINISHER BOARD WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 10/10/1

1) CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T A RECALL AND WILL COST APPROX. $800 DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING OF A CIRCUIT BOARD. 2) THE CLIMATE CONTROL AND RADIO ARE INOPERABLE ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME WE START THE CAR. I READ CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE SEDAN AND NOT THE COUPE. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HOPE THIS BECOME A RECALL SOON. *TR

I PRESENTLY OWN A 2003 INFINIT G35. THE ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS AND DASH LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO. A RECALL WAS INITIATED FOR THE "AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD" BY INFINITI BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THESE ITEMS WILL SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THESE ITEMS DO NOT FUNCTION AT PRESENT. AN INFINITI DEALER INFOMRED OF THE RECALL AND ALSO INFOMRED ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED AND THAT THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS WOULD BE THE RADIO. I WAS ALSO INFOMRED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL INFINITI AND INFINITI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS PROBLEM OR THE REPAIRS. REPAIRS COST FROM $600 TO $1250. THAT PRICE QUOTE WAS STATED TO BY INFINITI. JUST A NOTE, ALL EQUIPMENT I AM REFERRRING TO IS FACTORY INSTALLED. NO AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN INSTALLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING LOSS OF DEFROST AND AIR CONDITIONING. DUE TO THE HIGH HUMIDITY IN HIS STATE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST THE REAR GLASS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. HE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 133,600.

2003 INFINITI G35 WITH A RECALL ON THE ENGINE. CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE DEALER TOLD HER THAT HER CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS WERE THE SAME. DEALER REFUSED TO FIX IT UNLESS SHE PAID 11,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. *KB THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE THE PISTON BROKE CAUSING IT TO HIT THE ENGINE WHICH PUT A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CONSUMER HAD A USED ENGINE PUT IN THE VEHICLE ON JULY 24, 2006 BUT, ONE YEAR LATER THE ENGINE FAILED. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT MADE A CONSTANT NOISE, THE 6 CD CHANGER MALFUNCTIONED AND CEASED TO OPERATE AND THE WINDOW MOTOR WAS REPLACED. *JB

THE REAR DEFROST INTERFERES WITH THE RADIO. YOU CAN'T PLAY THE RADIO IF IT'S RAINING. THE JIM COLMAN INFINITI DEALER ORDERED THE PART THAT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO COME IN. WHEN THEY FINALLY INSTALLED THE PART IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR WINDOW, HOWEVER THEY CAN'T BECAUSE MY BASIC WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WAS STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WHEN THEY ORDERED THE PART THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM

WHILE DRIVING ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO HIGHWAY THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS WHERE AN OBJECT COULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED. THE ENTRANCE RAMP AT THE POINT OF IS LONG WAY FROM ANY OTHER TRAFFIC. I FAIL TO SEE HOW A SMALL PEBBLE COULD CAUSE THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER INTO SO MANY PIECES (THIS IS WHAT DEALER CLAIMS) DT
