2003 Infiniti G35

THE RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS BECAME INOPERATIVE ON A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE. SAFETY ISSUE IS THE INABILITY TO USE DEFROSTER OR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AS NECESSARY. A SEARCH OF THE WEB INDICATES THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI RECALLED SOME 2003 SEDANS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, BUT NO COUPES. THE COUPE USES THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM AS THE SEDAN IN TERMS OF RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS.. THIS RECALL IDENTIFIES A CIRCUIT BOARD AS THE CULPRIT, AND THE BOARD WAS REPLACED FREE FOR SOME 2003 SEDAN OWNERS. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE RADIO COMPLETLY CUT OFF AND THE AIR CONDITIONING CAME ON AT FULL BLAST... I CANNNOT CONTROL ANYTHING ON THE DASH SUCH AS CLIMATE DEFROSTED OR TURNING THE DARN THING OFF. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND MY WINDOW WERE ALL FOGGED UP AND I COULDNT CLEAR THEM. I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF MY FRONT OR BACK WINDOWS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAMETHING SOME WILL BE HURT IF INFINITI DOESNT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS. I HAVE NO CLUE TO WHY THEY HAVENT RECALLED OR RECALLED ONLY A FEW OF THIS CAR TO FIX THE PROBLEM.IT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM. IF YOU CALL THE DEALEARSHIP THEY WILL ONLY CHARGE YOU A MINT TO REPLACE THE PART THAT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. *JS

CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING (ENGINE WOULD DIE OUT) THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I WENT TO INFINITI DEALER TO GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE "CAM POSITION SENSOR" THAT WAS BAD, YET DIDN'T TELL ME AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM (ITB03-072 SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN) I HAD MY PERSONAL MECHANIC FIX AT MY EXPENSE. SHOULD THEY HAVE FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS PART OF RECALL? PLEASE HELP ME RECUPERATE MY MONEY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

INFINITI G35 AC AND AUDIO PANEL NOT WORKING, AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR IN INCLIMATE WEATHER DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OR ENGAGE THE DEFROST SO I CAN SEE OUT THE WINDOWS. VERY DANGEROUS - THREAT TO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT'S THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD THAT HAS FAILED. THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO INSTALL A NEW RADIO. EITHER OF THESE REPAIRS WILL BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. UNABLE TO GET INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. VIN NOT COVERED UNDER THE VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN - FALLS JUST OUT OF RANGE. EVERY ONE OF THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENTS. UNCLEAR WHY ONLY A SELECT FEW VINS WERE RECALLED. THOUSANDS OF US HAVE COMPLAINED. WHY IS NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? *TT
