2008 Infiniti G35

WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT (150 LBS+), THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DISABLED. INFINITI HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH REPAIRING THE CAR 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND SAY IT IS WORKING AS INTENDED EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES. THE INFINITI DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND MAINTAINED THAT INFINITI?S POSITION IS THAT THE PASSENGER NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO ADJUST THEIR SEATING POSITION UNTIL THE AIRBAG INDICATOR TURNS OFF (JUMP UP AND DOWN, SIT FURTHER UPRIGHT, ETC). THE LIGHT CAN REMAIN ILLUMINATED FOR AS LONG AS 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE FINALLY BEING ABLE TO GET THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO BE OPERABLE. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT AGAIN, INFINITI REFUSES TO WORK ON THE CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. I?M CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INDICATED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND IT HAPPENED ON THE FIRST AND SECOND DAY OWNING IT. THE FIRST DAY HAPPENED WHEN I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION TAXING TO THE GAS PUMP AND ALL THE SUDDEN, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO GET HARDEN. I LOOKED AT THE RPM GAUGE AND IT WAS DOWN TO ZERO WHILE I WAS IN "D" MODE. SO SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE, THEN IT WORKS AGAIN. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN TURNING RIGHT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENGINE STALLED; THEREFORE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARDEN. THEN I SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND RESTART AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS COMMON TO ANY G35X BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT TO IMAGE MYSELF GOING INTO A ROUND-ABOUT AND THE CAR STALLS WHILE OTHER CAR COMING TOWARD ME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35X. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN A NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THE BACKING PLATES WERE RUBBING TOGETHER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN, BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALER JULY 2008, HAD WARPED BRAKE ROTORS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED A PART THAT HAD A RECALL OR HAD A WARRANTY ON, THAT THEY SAID HAD MORE AIR SPACES IN IT TO ALLOW THE METAL TO COOL BETTER, AND GROUND DOWN THE ROTORS. I HAVE WARPED ROTORS AGAIN AT ONLY 46,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE METAL IN THE STOCK ROTORS IS FAULTY OR BAD ENGINEERING DESIGN. PLEASE INSPECT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE WARPED ROTORS FOR A SECOND TIME AT ONLY 46,000 MILES AND I USE MY TRANSMISSION A LOT TO SLOW DOWN RATHER THAN THE BRAKES AFTER THE FIRST WARPING OCCURRED. I SEE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE BY A DIFFERENT OWNER OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF WARPED ROTORS AT LOW MILEAGE. *TR

DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO RESPOND TO REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK OR POWER LOCK/UNLOCK INSIDE CAR, PROBLEM OCCURS ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS. FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP AND PARTIALLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, REAR DOOR PROBLEM WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNDER COVERAGE AS I AM 2,000MI OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF NEW TIRES FROM A LOCAL TIRE DEALER, THE MECHANIC WARNED ME THAT NISSAN / INFINITI HAVE A HISTORY OF DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AND INDICATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS INDEED DEFECTIVE. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND SAW THAT VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. ALSO, SINCE THIS ITEM IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE WARRANTY REQUIRES THE PART TO BE SUBMITTED BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN OR ANY REBATE IS ISSUED. I COULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SINCE THE PART WAS DISCARDED BY THE MECHANIC UPON DETERMINING THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE.

POTENTIAL FAILURE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT. WITH ADULT PASSENGER SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATES INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM THAT I SHARED WITH INFINITI OF CHANTILLY DEALER THAT SHOWS THE LIGHT ON WITH VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR WITH ADULT PASSENGER IN SEAT. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 25-30 MILES. TOOK CAR IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. NO RESOLUTION FROM INFINITI. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN OCCUPIED WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WEIGHING 85 POUNDS AND OVER, AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25.
