2003 Infiniti G35

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING WOULD ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AND WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED FOR THE FAILURE NOR REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS BECOME INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. MY TEMPERATURE WAS STUCK AT 90 DEGREES AT MAXIMUM OUTPUT, WITH NO POSSIBLE WAY TO SHUT IT OFF. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR 2003 G35 SEDANS WITH THIS ISSUE (INFINITI RECALL # P31040), BUT NOT FOR COUPES. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS CASES WHERE THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON 2003 G35 COUPES, BUT INFINITI REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS, BECAUSE THE VIN #'S WERE NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT CONSTITUTES A RECALL FOR ANY G35 MODEL WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO, AIR AND HEATER FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD BEHIND THE BOSE RADIO SYSTEM CAUSED THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

INFINITI HAS COMPLETELY LEFT BEHIND OWNERS OF THE 2003 G35. THEY HAD A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THE 'AUDIO FINISHER' BUT ALL THEY DID WAS PUT A BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM. THEY ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE, THEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A YEAR. THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SET UP THE RADIO/AC CONTROLS PROPERLY WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY MADE THE CAR, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY YOU WON'T SEE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 MODEL. NOW ALL THEY SAY IS THAT IT'S MY PROBLEM TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOME PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE CANNOT USE THE DEFROST. INFINITI TRIES TO CHARGE ABOUT $1000 EACH TIME THIS PROBLEM RECURS. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND SAD TO THINK THAT THEY EXPECT US TO PAY THIS FEE ABOUT ONCE EACH YEAR WHILE WE OWN THIS CAR. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY DIED FROM A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT TURN ON THEIR DEFROST IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR

I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY CLIMATE CONTROL WHICH RESULTS IN MY A/C BEING STUCK ON. MY RADIO CONTROLS ARE ALSO GONE. THE WHOLE CENTER DASH IS IN COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THIS IS A HAZARD DUE TO WINDOWS FOGGING UP WHILE DRIVING. ALSO I'VE RESEARCHED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ONLY FOR SEDANS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE THE SAME PARTS ARE IN THE COUPES. *TR
