2004 Infiniti G35

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET BECOMES DETACHED, CAUSING THE DRIVERS SEAT TO DANGEROUSLY MOVE AROUND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN DRIVING, THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WILL ABRUPTLY ALTER THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION BY PHYSICALLY MOVING THE HAND AND FOOT LOCATION, CAUSING ABRUPT ADJUSTMENT OF THROTTLE APPLICATION, BRAKING AND/OR STEERING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY FATAL INJURIES. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 INFINITI G35 IN 2008. IT ALL STARTED AFTER AN OIL CHANGE THAT I RECEIVED IN 2009 LESS THAN A MONTH AND A HALF LATER ABOUT 2000 MILES OF DRIVING LOOKING AT MY ODOMETER. I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, AND WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I NOTICE THE OIL LIGHT FLICKER. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL DIP STICK, AND TO MY SURPRISE I SHOWED THAT THE LOW WAS VERY LOW, SO I ADDED 4 QUARTS TO THE ENGINE. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE DRIVE WAY TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OIL SPOTS IN WHERE I PARK MY CAR, AND THERE WASN'T ANY OIL ON THE GROUND. THIS SITUATION OF ADDING OIL AT ABOUT 2000 MILE HAD WENT ON FOR MY NEXT TWO OIL CHANGES. AFTER WHICH THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I AM NOW ADDING 4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1500 MILES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2010. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AT THIS TIME SEEING AS HOW I HAVE 108K, AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE G35, AND THAT INFINITI IS RELUCTANT IN CORRECT OR ADMITTING TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FRONT-END CRASH INTO A TREE AT 20 MPH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS INJURED AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,850.

I HAVE A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. MY AUDIO FAILED AND A/C STUCK . . . THE SAME PROBLEM THEY VOLUNTARILY REPAIRED IN 2003. (SERVICE BULLETIN #03007A AND NHTSA ITEM #10001253) IT IS CAUSED BY A FAILURE OF THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM UNABLE TO TURN ON THE WINDOW DEFROSTER AND HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THERE IS CONDENSATION DUE TO CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ROSEVILLE WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK ON IT BUT KNOWING THERE WAS ONLY 10 DAYS UNTIL MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS UP, THEY NEVER FOLLOWED UP. I HAVE SEEN MANY 2004 OWNERS ON LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN/INFINITI DON'T SEEM TO CARE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK, WHICH IS ALWAYS EARLY SINCE I AM A NURSE AND AF RESERVIST. *TR

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN W/ 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE DRIVER SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH SEVERELY DURING ACCELERATION OR BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE ROCKING CAUSES DIFFICULTIES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CLUTCH AND GAS PEDALS CAN BE PRESSED INADVERTENTLY CAUSING ERRATIC DRIVING. I SPOKE WITH THE INFINTI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD MY COMPLAINT WOULD BE FILED, BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD GO TO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE ASSESSED AT MY EXPENSE. I CALLED THE NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHERE I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD COME IN WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND IT COSTS BETWEEN $900 -$1,100 TO REPAIR. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 G35 INFINITY 9/2008, THE CAR WAS CHECKED 2 WEEKS AGO ON JUNE 12, 2010 AT WHICH TIME 2 QUARTS OF OIL WAS PUT IN, LEVEL WAS FINE ON SATURDAY JUNE 26,2010 COMING HOME FROM PENNSYLVANIA CAR SHUT DOWN HAD TO BE TOWED, MECHANIC STATES ENGINE HAS GONE UP IN VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR, I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BURNED OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THE CAR HAS 120K MILES ON IT I AM LEFT WITH NO CAR AND STILL OWE 8100 ON IT AS A CONSUMER I FEEL THAT INFINITY OWES ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS VEHICLE USED THE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT IT DID AND NEED TO KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. *TR

FAILURE OF DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME DUE TO CRACKING TWICE. ONCE AT 26,177 MILES ON 8/8/06 AND AGAIN AT 60,815 MILES ON 5/20/10. THE WAY I BECAME AWARE OF THE FAILURE IS THAT BOTH TIMES IT INTERFERED WITH THE POWER SEAT OPERATION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. I AM NOT A BIG PERSON, MALE, 5'8" 160LBS. THE VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, LOOKS NEW AND ALL SERVICE RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME THE SEAT FRAME CRACKED AND REPLACED THE SECOND TIME OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE SAME INFINITY DEALERSHIP. INQUIRED FROM THE DEALER IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY WOULD NOT ANSWER. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY TWICE TO GET ADDITIONAL INFO AND INQUIRE IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IF THEY FELT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WOULD SELF REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO THE PROPER PARTY. THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY SECOND INQUIRY. THIS DID NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE TO ME AFTER THE ISSUES WITH TOYOTA. I HAVE SAVED THE PART FROM THE MORE RECENT REPLACEMENT IN CASE FURTHER INSPECTION WAS NECESSARY. *TR

CAR ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH CAR. WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR IMMEDIATELY AND IT SEEMED FINE. TOOK IT TO GET DIAGNOSED - ALL FLUID LEVELS WERE OK BUT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SAID IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (P0340). LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE FOR 2003 G35S (ID# 48751) BUT MY CAR IS A 2004 G35. INFINITI DEALERSHIPS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ABOUT RESOLVING THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL NOTICE, SO I DECIDED TO CHANCE IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 6 DAYS LATER ON AN EXIT RAMP. ENGINE CUT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE BEFORE CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS. THIS TIME IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO RE-START. TOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS TIME THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT STAYED ON. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME REGARDING THE RECALL. THE NEXT TIME THE ENGINE CUT OFF WAS 3 DAYS LATER, ALSO WHILE DRIVING. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY ALSO REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
