2003 Infiniti G35

MY CAR SEAT MOVED ALL THE FORWARD WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN DENVER METRO'BENCH AND BACK SUPPORT BOTH PUSHED ME A FEW INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE MY LEG WITH MY HAND TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL. ONE WEEK LATER, MY CAR HORN BEGAN BEEPING AND WOULD NOT STOP WHILE DRIVING. MY VDC AND BRAKE LIGHTS NOW STAY ON CONSTANTLY BECAUSE THE ANTI SKID DOES NOT WORK'I ALMOST WRECKED ON A SNOWY HIGHWAY. THE FRONT TIRES WEAR EXPONENTIALLY FASTER THAN THE BACK TIRES. I HAD BLOWOUTS TWO SEPARATE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE NOW GLUED SHUT BECAUSE THEY ROLL DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON NOW TOO. I REALIZE IT'S AN OLD CAR; I BOUGHT IT FOR $8,000 4 YEARS AGO WHEN IT HAD ~95,000 MILES. NOW IT HAS ~140,000. THE LEVEL OF QUICK DECLINE IS TRULY FRIGHTENING THOUGH. I DON'T DRIVE MY 2003 INFINIT G35 ANY MORE AND AM APPREHENSIVE TO SELL IT TO ANYONE ELSE. THE CAR I LOVED IS NOW LIKE DRIVING A HORROR MOVIE.

AIRBAG LIGHT: THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD IS FLASHING. THE REASON I AM BRINGING THIS UP IS BECAUSE THE OWNER'S MANUAL FROM INFINITI STATES THAT WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I HAVE SEARCHED ON INFINITI AND G35 FORUMS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS. IT ALSO APPEARS AS THOUGH INFINITI WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM FOR OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LUCKILY THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT WITH MY CAR YET AND I INTEND TO GET IT FIXED SO THAT I HAVE MY AIRBAGS OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA RECOMMENDS WHEN I TAKE MY CAR INTO A AN AUTHORIZED INFINITI/NISSAN SERVICE CENTER? CAN I ASK FOR THE REPAIR COSTS TO BE COVERED BY INFINITI/NISSAN SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE RENDERING MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IF LEFT UN-REPAIRED. I HAVE TRIED TO DO A SOFT RESET OF THE SYSTEM AS DESCRIBED IN A NUMBER OF INFINITI/NISSAN FORUMS AND WHILE THIS INITIALLY HELPED ABOUT 12 TO 18 MONTHS AGO, THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AS FLASHING LIGHT HAS RETURNED AND THE SOFT RESET NO LONGER WORKS.

I HAVE REPLACED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND THE CRANK SENSOR AND MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL CAUSING THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO APPEAR WITH A LOSS OF POWER AND INTERMITTENT STALLING. INFINITI HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM (SERVICE BULLETIN: NHTSA: 03V455000 CAM SHAFT SENSOR DEFECTIVE) BUT THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED.
