2003 INFINITI G35 Electrical System Problems

The ignition switch will not return to selection 3 after cranking.

Complete center console not working. Stuck on auto a/c with no way to defrost windshield and it was raining. No modes work, no cd, no radio, no heat, no defrost- front or rear. I have already had this happen before, replaced motherboard and it cost me 1200.00 and that was in 2011. Now it has happened again. This is very unsafe. I had my children with me and it started raining and we couldnt get the windshield or rear to defrost so I couldnt see. Why arent all 2003's covered under the recall?????

BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS LATELY WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE SLIP AND VDC LIGHT ALSO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLIMATE CONTROL FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE DEFROSTER WAS ALSO INOPERABLE. HOLMAN INFINITI LOCATED AT 577 NJ-38, MAPLE SHADE TOWNSHIP, NJ 08052 WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.*DT*JB

MY INFINITI CLIMATE CONTROL HAS QUIT WORKING WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH A CAR WITH NO HEAT OR DEFROST UNABLE TO DRIVE IN THE WINTER. THEIR WAS A RECALL ON MANY 2003 G35 BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CAR ISNT COVERED. SEEMS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE MY CAR IS DOING EXACT COMPLAINT ON MANY OTHER CARS.

WHILE YOUR DRIVING YOU LOSE CONTROL OF HEATING CONTROLS. IT WAS RAINING AND I HAD TO DEFROST WINDOWS. WELL IT STARTED HEATING THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT CONTROL WHERE TO DIRECT HEAT. AND NOTE THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK WHEN IT OCCURS AS WELL.

Mileage: 127,000

CRANKSHAFT ANGLE SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BOTH FAILED CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL AT LOW RPM'S (ENGINE DIES LOOSING BRAKES AND STEERING). INFINITY RECALL #R3021 HAS THIS PROBLEM YET MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL FOR SOME REASON. CALLED INFINITY AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? MY COST IS $621.86 REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSIS.

Mileage: 135,500

THE COMPLETE CONSOLE LIGHTING HAS GONE OUT IN MY CAR. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE OFF. NOT ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING DAYLIGHT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER. VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE CHARGER PORT HAD SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION AND MY CAR WAS BURNED TO THE FRAME. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND HAD BEEN SINCE 8:00 P.M POLICE OFFICERS WHERE COMING IN MY FRONT DOOR AT AROUND 2:00 A.M. MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

Mileage: 176,000

2003 INFINITI G35 AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT SUDDENLY WILL NOT TURN OFF. UNABLE TO TURN ON THE DEFROSTER BECAUSE OF THIS MAKING VISIBILITY POOR AND VERY DANGEROUS AT TIMES. RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON. THIS IS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

Mileage: 66,000

MY CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND CAM POSITION SENSORS KEEP FAILING CAUSING THE CAR TO KILL WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO START.

WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE AC AND STEREO BUTTON LIGHTS WENT OUT, THE AC WAS THEN STUCK ON FULL BLAST AT 70 DEGREES AND COULD NOT BE SHUT OFF OR CHANGED AND THE STEREO WAS INOPERABLE AS WELL.

Mileage: 60,000

'TAMARA RECALL' MY RADIO AND COMPLETE COLUMN TO ADJUST AC WENT OUT. THERE WAS A RECAL FOR MY SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, BUT INFINITI IS SAYING MY VIN ISN'T COVERED. I TOOK THE STEPS TO HAVE THE RECALL MY FIXED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC AND STILL NOTHING WORKS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND THE CAR ONLY BLOWS HEAT. IN CA IT IT STILL VERY HOT RIGHT NOW AND CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE.

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.

I WAS FILLING GAS UP SUDDENTLY MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO START. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SOON WHEN ON. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING MY CAR WAS MOVING POORLY. MY ENGINE LIGHT WHEN ON AFTER. I WHEN TO AUTOZONE TO CHECK MY CODE. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TOO CAMSHAFT SENORS.

Mileage: 176,951

TWICE NOW, THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN MOTION, ONCE WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, ANOTHER TIME WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO A MECHANIC (NOT DEALER MECHANIC) WHO SAID IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT AND CRANK SENSORS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR THIS YEAR, 2003 FOR INFINITI G35. YET WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS TO ME SEEMS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIMES IT SPONTANEOUSLY DIED. I WAS VERY GLAD THAT SHE WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR SOMEWHERE ELSE BUSY WHEN IT HAPPENED! THIS VEHICLE HAS OTHERWISE BEEN COMPLETELY DEPENDABLE OVER THE PAST 14 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, TO HAVE IT SPONTANEOUSLY DIE WHILE DRIVING IS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE!

Mileage: 182,000

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AS I PRESSED THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE CONTROL. HORN STARTED HONKING AND STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY I THEN OPEND THE DOOR PUT KEYS IN IGNITION AND TURNED IT AS IF I WAS GOING TO TURN VEHICLE ON AND THEN CAR STOPED HONKING I STARTED THE CAR ON AND HORN NOISE STAYED OFF I PRESSED THE HORN AND IT HONKED AS NORMAL BUT ONCE I TURNED VEHICLE OFF I PRESSED THE HORN AGAIN TO SEE IF CAR WOULD HONK AS NORMAL AND HORN STARTED HONKING AGAIN CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ON UNTIL I AGAIN TURNED KEYS IN IGNITION SWITCH ON AND CAR STOPPED HONKING KEEPS DOING THIS CANT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM

AUDIO "FINISHER" BOARD SHORTS OUT, THE RADIO IS COMPROMISED BUT THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE HEATER CONTROLS SWITCH TO HIGH, AND ON FLOOR HEATER VENTS. THERE IS NO LONGER A DEFROSTER AND THE CONTROLS ARE INOPERABLE. INFINITY IN THE PAST ISSUED THE FOLLOWING: 2003 G35 SEDAN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN.

MY SLIP LIGHT AND VCT LIGHT HAS CAME ON IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 AND ALSO THE EBRAKE LIGHT AND NON OF THEM WILL GO OFFF. I RECENTLY HYDRO PLANED IN THE RAIN DUE NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN MY TRACTION CONTROL ON ABS DID NOTHING TO STOP MY CAR FROM LOOSING TRACTION THIS WOULD NEVER OF HAPPENED IF MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. FURTHER LOOKING INTO IT THEY HAVE HAD MADE A TSB TALKING ABOUT HOW THE ABS AND ANTI WHEEL LOCK MAY MALFUNCTION. I WAS IN A 5 CAR PILE UP AND ALMOST DIED. IF MY TRACTION CONTROL WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED ON WITCH IT WOULDN'T LET ME I WOULD NOT OF HYDRO PLANED MY WHOLE BACK END JUST SWUNG FORWARD OUT OF NOWHERE PEOPLE THOUGH SOMEONE IN MY CAR PULLED MY EBRAKE THE WAY THE BACK END JUST SWUNG FORWARD. BOTH THE SLIP LIGHT AND THE VCT LIGHT REMAINED ON ALONG WITH MY EBRAKE LIGHT. I DRIVE MY CAR LIKE A BABY AND TO BARLEY PUSH THE GAS SHOULD NOT RESULT IN MY BACK END SWINGING FORWARD RESULTING IN COMPLETELY WRECHING MY CAR ALONG WITH 4 OTHER DRIVERS. I FEEL INFINITI IS DEFINITELY RELIABLE AND SHOULD OF RECALLED THESE PARTS DUE TO PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A TSB LIKE ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. I AM ALSO NOT THE ONLY ONE IV FOUND A FEW PEOPLE THAT CRASHED THERE CAR DUE TO RAINY WETHER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL NOT WANTING TO TURN ON. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 60 TO 65. IF I NEW INFINITI HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS I WOULD NOT OF PURCHASED ONE 77 BULLETINS AND AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS THE 2003 HAD AND ALL THE RECALLED PARTS I WOULD NOT OF PURCHASED IT AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK. I FEEL INFINITI SHOULD BE RELIABLE IT'S COMMEN SENSE TO KNOW THAT FIRST HAND NOT FIXING THOSE PROBLEMS WOULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK I WILL BE EMAILING INFINITI TO. IT MAY NOT BE A RECALLED PART BUT IT' PUT ME AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE FREEWAY AT RISK AND TOTALED MY CAR. BELLOW IS SOMEONE WHO ALSO HAD THE ISSUE

Mileage: 113,000

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON 2 OCCASIONS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT LOST POWER, AND THEN RECOVERED, BUT TWICE, IT LITERALLY TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THE "SLIP", "VDC OFF", AND "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHTS ALL APPEARED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR EARLIER-PRODUCED MODELS, AND SUBJECT TO A BULLETIN WHICH DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND BANK 1 AND 2 OF THE CAM POSITION SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $563.03, AND INFINITI SAYS THAT WITHOUT NHTSA TELLING THEM TO PAY FOR IT, THEY REFUSE. THIS CAR IS A 2003, HOWEVER, IT IS IN MINT CONDITION WITH LESS THAN 55,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT--ALWAYS DEALER MAINTAINED.

Mileage: 54,980

NISSAN CAMPAIGN ID P3104, REF ITB03-007 DESCRIBES EXACT PROBLEM. THE VIN NUMBER OF OUR CAR IS WITHIN RANGE OF CAMPAIGN LISTED VIN #'S BUT NISSAN INSISTED TODAY THAT OUR CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY CAMPAIGN. HEAT/AIR TEMPERATURE CONTROLS AND RADIO DO NOT OPERATE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER PAST SEVERAL YEARS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN BY SAYING OUR VIN # WAS NOT COVERED BY CAMPAIGN EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE RANGE OF VIN #'S LISTED IN THE CAMPAIGN.

DURING 2 RAIN EVENTS, THE HORNS BEGAN TO BLOW AND CONTINUED TO BLOW UNTIL THE BURNED OUT. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THE DRIVER WAS NOT PRESENT, DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE HORNS WERE WORKING UNTIL THEY WERE REQUIRED. OTHER CASES OF THIS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED ON G35DRIVER.COM. I AM THE FIRST OWNED OF THE CAR AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR ALL OF ITS LIFE. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AND THEN PARKING IT.

Mileage: 168,000

THIRD HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT POSSIBLY CREATING CONFUSION TO DRIVER BEHIND ME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MULTIPLE DRIVERS ON G35DRIVER.COM. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER STATIONARY OR DRIVING. AT TIMES IT MAY APPEAR DULL.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM BOMMARITO INFINITI IN ELLISVILLE, MO IN 2003. I HAVE INTERMITTENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STEREO SYSTEM AND AIR-CONDITIONING/HEATER CONTROLS WORKING. AT THIS POINT, THE HEATER IS STUCK ON 90 DEGREES, CONTROLS NOT WORKING, AND ALSO THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK FROM THE CONSOLE BUT I CAN CONTROL IT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND SEE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND YEAR BUT WHEN I CALLED THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART WAS NOT RECALLED ON MY CAR BUT OTHER CARS HAD BEEN AFFECTED. THIS CLEARLY IS A ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS CARS CIRCUIT BOARD THEY SHOULD CONTINUE THEIR RESEARCH. I HAVE TO SAY AT LEAST IT IS WINTERTIME IN ILLINOIS RIGHT NOW OTHERWISE I WOULD BE DYING OF A HEAT STROKE DRIVING THIS CAR....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,181.

2003 INFINITI G35. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM RECALL ISSUES. *SMD IT WAS DETERMINED THE CONTROL WAS BAD. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND RADIO FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 09/21/15*LJ

Mileage: 80,000

THE CLIMATE CONTROL/ AUDIO CONTROL UNIT IN MY G35 FROZE A FEW WEEKS AGO MAKING THE SYSTEM INOPERABLE. AS A RESULT THE THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS HAVE BECOME INOPERABLE CREATING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION SPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR ALL G35S MADE FROM 2003 -2005 AND INFINITI IS VERY WELL AWARE OF IT. HOWEVER THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. BACK IN 2003 THEY HAVE DONE A RECALL BUT ONLY TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS THAT HAD A PARTICULAR PART NUMBER. BUT THE TRUTH IS EVERY G35 WITH THE OEM UNIT IS VULNERABLE TO THIS ISSUE. IN ABILITY TO CONTROL THE DEFROSTERS AFFECTS THE VISIBILITY WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT IN INJURIES AND OR DEATH.

Mileage: 171,220

IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY A/C AND RADIO. A/C BLOWS INTERMITTENTLY AT WHAT EVER TEMPERATURE AND AIR LEVEL IT FEELS LIKE AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE RADIO AT THE SAME TIME CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE HAPPENED IT LASTED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THEN IT JUST STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW IT IS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. THIS IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER IN THE MORNINGS AND LATE AT NIGHT. NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS ALSO UNHEALTHY TO GET A CONSTANT FULL BLOW OF 62 DEGREE AIR BLASTING AT YOU WHEN IT IS 40 TO 50 DEGREES OUT SIDE. EVEN THOUGH I ADJUST THE VENTS CLOSED IT STILL BLOWS COLD AIR THROUGH THEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW. I ENDED UP TAKING MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, NO CODES CAME UP. BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 700.00.! THERE ARE SO MANY NHTSA COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT SEE OUT YOUR WINDOW, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT WORK THE DEFROSTER!

HAD MY CAR IN A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC FOR AC PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 3RD REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS ALSO OUT. I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF THIS. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT JUST REPLACE THE BULB, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A COMPLETE ASSEMBLY UNIT FOR THAT AND IT WOULD RUN ME $287.00 PLUS TAX!!!!! EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND SOMETHING IS COSTING ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I JUST PUT OUT OVER $700.00 FOR THE A/C, RADIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD, ALSO NOT ON A RECALL!

Mileage: 126,977

THIS VEHICLE'S RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS DO NOT WORK! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'VE TALKED TO KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS AND ALL HAVE SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS A BAD/DEFECTIVE BOARD. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN OR INFINITI PRODUCT AGAIN!

Mileage: 40,000

THE ENTIRE CONSOLE INCLUDING DEFROSTER ETC. WENT OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A VOLUNTARY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SEDANS BUT NOT COUPES. HOWEVER, THE COUPE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS THE FINISHER ELECTRICAL CARD WHICH FAILED AND APPARENTLY HAS BEEN FAILING CONSISTENTLY FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL. INFINITI IS FORCING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ORIGINAL FLAW. OTHERWISE YOU ARE STUCK WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO ALTER THE CONSOLE SETTINGS INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO DEFROST/DEFOG YOUR WINDSHIELD WHICH CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN. I WILL NO LONGER BE IN THE MARKET FOR A NISSAN PRODUCT, ALONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES THAT I HAVE SHARED THIS WITH. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

RADIO, CD, AND A/C CONTROL CONSOLE DO NOT WORK. ALSO THE DASHBOARD CRACKED. I CALLED INFINITI AND I WAS TOLD NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUE. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS BRAND. I WILL TAKE MY BUSINESS TO HONDA WHO MAKE BETTER QUALITY CARS. *TR

Mileage: 98,000

THE RADIO WILL STOP OPERATING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL BLOW AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE OR FLOW. OBVIOUSLY, I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 101,000

CONTROL PANEL TOTALLY INOPERABLE. AC BLOWS AT HIGHEST SETTING, UNABLE TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS, UNABLE TO USE DEFROSTER. RECALL DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE RECALLED. *TR

Mileage: 180,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING NO BRAKES STEERING OR WARNING WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL OF THIS PART THIS IS A REAL DANGER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED I ENDED UP FIXING THIS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE TIME OF THE STALL. THE ENGINE KICKED BACK ON WITHIN SECONDS. WITHIN MINUTES, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN SITTING IDLE AT A LIGHT BUT DID NOT KICK BACK ON. HARD RESTART. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS BAD. PAID $400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. *JS

I HAD PULLED UP TO DRIVE THRU WINDOW AT THE BANK AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, WHEN I FINISHED MY TRANSACTION I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULDN'T MOVE. I FINALLY SHUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFTER WORKED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I HAVE STARTED MY CAR AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. I ALSO HAVE AN AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FLASHING AND HOPE THEY WILL INCLUDE MY VIN # IN THE RECALL BUT THEY HAVEN'T SO FAR. EVEN IN THE EXPANDED RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHY. WHEN DOES OUR SAFETY BECOME IMPORTANT? MY STEREO/CD PLAYER ALSO STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO REPLACE THAT. WHAT GOOD DOES ALL OF THESE REPETITIVE COMPLAINTS DO IF THE AUTO COMPANIES AREN'T MADE TO REPAIR ALL OF THEM? *TR

Mileage: 103,000

STARTED CAR, RADIO WOULD CUT IN & OUT , I LIVED WITH IT , UNTIL IN MAY 2014 THE A/C & RADIO WOULD CUT IN & OUT , SOMETIMES IF YOU RESTART IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM , TODAY IT WAS 94 DEGREES OUT , THE A/C AFTER SEVERAL TRIES WOULD NOT WORK . VERY FRUSTRATING!! *TR

Mileage: 108,815

THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, WHICH INCLUDES THE DEFROSTER. LUCKILY IT OCCURRED IN THE MONTH OF MAY AND NOT IN JANUARY WHEN THE SNOW FLIES, AS IT COULD HAVE CREATED A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE DEFROSTER NOT WORKING. AFTER LOOKING ON-LINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE TO G35 OWNERS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS DESCRIBING THE SAME CONDITION. IT IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITHIN THE CONTROLS FOR THE RADIO & CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. IT APPEARS THE SAFETY ISSUE IS BEING IGNORED, POSSIBLY BECAUSE IT'S TIED TO THE RADIO. IF THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS, IT'S PROBABLY ONLY MATTER OF TIME. WITHIN THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS LISTING IT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES. PLEASE DON'T IGNORE IT ANY LONGER. IMAGINE YOURSELF ON A TRIP CROSS COUNTY, IN JANUARY, AND THE DEFROSTER STOPS WORKING. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING JUST TO GET TO A TOWN. OR YOU MIGHT RISK CONTINUING YOUR TRIP SO AS TO GET HOME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I'M SURE THERE ARE CASES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE DONE JUST THAT, RISKING THE SAFETY OF THEMSELVES & OTHERS DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. ALL BECAUSE A CAR MANUFACTURER WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. P.S. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 69000 MILES. *TR

Mileage: 67,800

MY RADIO AND AC COMES ON BUT I CANNOT TURN ON/OFF FROM CONTROL PANEL OF CAR ON DASH. I CAN ONLY OPERATE THE RADIO FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. MY A/C IS ON FULL BLAST AT COLD AIR AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. *TR

Mileage: 85,000

CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, UNABLE TO RETRIEVE CD'S, ERROR MESSAGE. LATER RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS WENT OUT. CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. CALLED INFINITI IN SARASOTA, WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN, I DID. HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, WAS TOLD BY INFINITI THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEY RESET SENSOR. A FEW MONTHS LATER, RADIO WENT OUT AGAIN, A/C AT 60 DEGREES, CANNOT LOWER TEMPERATURE, CANNOT TURN ON/OFF FROM DASHBOARD; RADIO WORKS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY. PROBLEM CAUSED BATTERY TO GO DEAD, CALLED AAA, WAS TOLD SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY; TOLD OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ADVISED ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MAYBE THE REASON. ONCE BATTERY PURCHASED, ADVISED AGAIN BATTERY MAY GO OUT DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DRAINING BATTERY. WENT ONLINE, FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. CALLED INFINITI AGAIN, TOLD MY VIN # MAY NOT BE LISTED. COST APPROXIMATELY $1,200.00 OR MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. CALLED INFINITI/NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE, TOLD MY VIN NUMBER NOT ON RECALL LIST. INFORMED THEM OF PROBLEM, PURCHASE OF NEW BATTERY DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND WHAT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN REGARDING NEW BATTERY. REP ADVISED NOTHING THEY CAN DO. TOLD I CAN PAY, AND IF A RECALL LATER WITH MY VIN NUMBER , I CAN BE REIMBURSED WITH PROOF OF REPAIR WITH INFINITI. AS OF THIS WRITING, I AM STILL UNABLE TO TURN ON/OFF DEFROST, HEATER, A/C, CD PLAYER, CASSETTE PLAYER, OR RADIO; NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON DASHBOARD ARE OPERABLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN SO MANY WAYS IN TERMS OF ROAD SAFETY; DEFROST NOT WORKING (UNABLE TO DEFROST WINDOWS FOR VISION WHILE DRIVING); DRAINING BATTERY; HAZARDOUS DUE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS THAT CAN CAUSE A PERSON TO FREEZE WHILE IN MY CAR, AND A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. I PRAY AN INVESTIGATION INITIATED DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BY MANUFACTURER, NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER; THAT THE RESOLUTION IS FAIR AND JUST FOR ALL, AND NOT JUST BY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS ONLY. *TR

CONTROLS FOR AUDIO, INCLUDING ON STEERING WHEEL, AND CONTROLS FOR TEMP DO NOT WORK. THIS CAR WAS MADE ONE MONTH AFTER CUT OFF DATE FOR RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS REPAIR FROM INFINITI AT NO CHARGE. *TR

Mileage: 114,000

STEREO AUDIO CUT OFF AND A/C TURNED ON TO FULL BLAST. CONSOLE CONTROLS AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. TURNED OFF CAR THEN ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE, BUT ONCE IT WAS ON THE A/C TURNED TO FULL BLAST AGAIN AND CONTROLS DON'T WORK. THIS ISSUE HAS MY MOTOR RUNNING HARDER BC THE A/C IS ON CAUSING MY CAR TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. EVER SINCE THE CONTROLS HAVE NOT WORKED CONSTANTLY FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

AC/CLIMATE CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD IS NOT FUNCTIONING. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ISSUED BY INFINITI (TB003-007, CAMPAIGN ID P3104), BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS.

I GOT MY CAR IN APRIL 2013 NOT A YEAR YET. I WAS AT WORK WHEN THEY SAID THE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK AND THEN THE ALARM STARTED TO GO OFF WHEN THE SECURITY CAME BY AROUND IT WAS SMOKING AND ON FIRE IT WAS COMING FROM THE HOOD.

JUST RECENTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY RADIO AND A/C UNIT ON THE DASHBOARD BLANKED OUT AND STOPPED WORKING. RIGHT AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE LATER THE A/C CAME ON FULL BLAST WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT 68 ALONG WITH THE RADIO PLAYING. AT THAT TIME I WAS ONLY ABLE TO OPERATE THE RADIO FROM THE STEERING WHILE. THIS MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS BECAUSE I WILL SOON NEED TO USE MY DEFROSTER DUE TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE, I WONT BE ABLE TO SEE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 03 G35 INFINITI SEDAN, I CALLED THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT MY CAR WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME MODEL AND EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

I RECENTLY GOT A USED CAR FROM MY FRIEND, BUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK ON THE CAR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT I NOTICED THIS AFTER GETTING THIS CAR TO ME FROM MY FRIEND, BUT SHE SAID SHE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR LONG TIME. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS THAT THE AUDIO PANEL DOESN'T WORK, THE CLIMATE PANEL IS WITH THE AUDIO PANEL, SO THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. SO I CANNOT CONTROL MY CLIMATE IN MY CAR, SO THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ALL THE TIME, IT IS REALLY HARD TO DRIVE. WHEN I CHECKED THIS PROBLEM WITH DEALER AND ON THE WEB, IT IS REALLY,,COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR AND THIS KIND OF CAR, BUT THE COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO THE DEALER SAID IT COSTS MORE THAN $1,000 TO CHANGE THE PANEL AND TO FIX ALL PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL. PLEASE CHECK THIS PROBLEM, AND CORRECT THIS, THANK YOU FOR READING MY CONCERN, *TR

STEREO DOESN'T WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN...THEN THE AC TURNS ON HIGH LEVEL AT 60 DEGREES. ? IT DOESN'T TURN OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT IN WINTER WHEN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS ARE FOGGED UP I CANT HEAT THEM UP TO CLEAR THEM WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD..I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S A RECALL ON THE SEDAN FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE COUPE.. THANKS *TR

THE SYSTEM CONTROLLING THE AC AND THE RADIO COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND THERE IS NO LONGER ANY WAY TO CONTROL IT. ALL THE POWER WINDOWS QUIT WORKING AS WELL. WITH SO MANY REPORTS WOULD BE NICE IF INFINITI TOOK SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUES. *JS

Mileage: 151,000

I CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE A/C OR DEFROST OF MY CAR, WHICH IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT MY WINDSHIELDS. ALL THE BUTTONS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE ARE INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF A CIRCUIT BOARD MALFUNCTION. SINCE I CANNOT CONTROL THE DEFROST, I CANNOT PASS THE STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST BETWEEN $1300-2000 TO FIX. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR IN 2003 AND INFINITI SAYS THEY REPLACED THE PART IN MY CAR SO THIS FIX WOULD BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM IN CARS UNDER 100K MILES -- ONLY IN THIS MAKE/MODEL. ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF 2003/2004 G35 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $2K TO FIX A CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM. *JB

MY ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE GRADUALLY STOPPED WORKING. THE AC/CLIMATE CONTROL IS ALWAYS ON FULL-BLAST (NO WAY TO ADJUST IT OR TURN IT OFF). THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN ON OR OFF. THE GARAGE CONTROLS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. NONE OF THE LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. AFTER SPEAKING WITH TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND LOOKING UP INFORMATION ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. 9/10 TIMES, THE COMPLICATION APPARENTLY GOES AWAY AFTER REPLACING THE AUDIO UNIT. ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS/REPAIR OF THE AUDIO UNIT AT THE DEALER IS $800. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, I WAS TOLD IT'S USUALLY THE CIRCUIT BOARD, WHICH ALSO COSTS AROUND $800.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL FAILURES CAUSED TOTAL LOST CONTROL OF AIR CONDITION AND AUDIO SYSTEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER DUE TO FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS ARE NOT OPERATIONAL. UNTIL FATALITIES OCCURRED AND REPORTED, CAR IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOT OPERATED AT NIGHT OR UNDER BAD WEATHER. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF FIRST MODEL OF G35. UNFORTUNATELY, INFINITI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT BUT WILLING TO FIX FOR HIGH COST. OWNERS TAKES THEIR OWN SAFETY RISKS IF CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE HIGH COST OF REPLACEMENT FROM INFINITI DEALERS. ALSO, THERE IS A RISK IF OWNERS TRY TO REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BY BUYING AND INSTALLING CHEAPER AFTERMARKET PANEL FROM ANY CAR RADIO/REPAIR SHOP. INFINITI SHOULD THINK ABOUT SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR REPUTATION. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR SON AN INFINITI G35 COUPE FOR GRADUATION. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR PURCHASE AND TO SEE HIS EYES LIGHT UP WAS PRICELESS. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO OF HAVING THE CAR, THE RADIO STOPPED AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC CONSOLE SHUT DOWN EXCEPT FOR THE AIR, WHICH IS ON FULL BLAST WITH NO OPTION TO TURN IT DOWN OR OFF. MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO ONE OF THE INFINITI DEALERS WHO TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT MODEL FOR THE FOUR DOORS ONLY AND THE SEDAN WOULD BE ALMOST $2000 TO REPAIR. I CALLED CORPORATE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE THROUGH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, THEY ARE BASICALLY NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE G35 COUPES. I SPOKE WITH KELLY WITH CONSUMERS AFFAIRS AND ASKED WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO SINCE THIS IS A HAZARD FOR OUR SON AND SHE SAID, "WELL THAT WOULD BE AT YOUR DISCRETION TO LET HIM DRIVE." CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? SHE SAID TAKE THE CAR TO OUR NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR A "DIAGNOSIS TEST" AND THEN CALL THEM BACK, BUT, SINCE THIS IS OUT OF WARRANTY THERE IS PROBABLY NOTHING WE WILL DO....HOW CAN THEY REFUSE TO DEAL WITH A MAJOR PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND THEN TRY TO STICK THE REPAIR COST TO US?? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE AIR CANNOT BE TURNED DOWN OR OFF AND IS CONSTANTLY BLOWING INTO THE DRIVERS EYES WHICH IMPEDES THEIR VISION. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE DEFROST AND HEAT WHICH IS INOPERABLE. THE ENTIRE CONSOLE IS OUT!!! *TR

THE CONTROLS ON MY CENTER CONSOLE WHERE THE A/C AND RADIO ARE STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO TURNED OFF BY ITSELF AND CAME BACK ON LESS THEN A MINUTE LATER BUT NONE OF THE BUTTONS WERE ILLUMINATING. MY HEAT WENT FROM 77 DEGREES ON THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE FACE VENTS, TO 87 DEGREES ON "AUTO A/C" TO THE HIGHEST SETTING AND SWITCHED TO THE FOOT VENTS. IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT IT HAS ALWAYS "COME BACK TO LIFE" IF YOU WILL, WITHIN 10 MINUTES. IT HAS NOW BEEN LIKE THIS FOR FOUR DAYS, BLASTING COLD AIR INTO MY CAR ON 33 DEGREE DAYS. I UNDERSTAND INFINITI RECALLED THE BOARD THAT THEY POORLY DESIGNED ONLY ON THE SEDANS. THIS BOARD DESIGN IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, LIVING IN THE MIDWEST, AND BEING MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. WHEN WINTER HITS, AND TEMPERATURES REALLY FALL, AND MY CAR IS ONLY BLOWING OUT COLD AIR, AND WORST OF ALL ON MY FEET, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS PROPERLY. IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME WHY INFINITI WOULD RECALL A PART IN ONE CAR THAT IS THE EXACT SAME IN ANOTHER IT JUST HAS TWO DOORS. ITS LIKE PAYING SOMEONE TO PAINT THE INSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE. THE REASON YOU CHOSE THEM IS BECAUSE YOU FOUND THEM TO BE LOYAL AND TRUSTWORTHY. COME TO FIND OUT THE PAINTER ONLY PAINTED HALF OF YOUR HOUSE AND TOOK A FEW VALUABLES ON HIS WAY OUT. I JUST HOPE A LAWYER SEES SOME GOOD MONEY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE I KNOW I DO. *TR

THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF AND TURN BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. ALL OF THE BUTTONS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE BECOME INOPERABLE. THE A/C CONTROLS ALSO BECOME INOPERABLE AND TURNS ON BY ITSELF. IT JUST DOESN'T TURN ON THOUGH, IT TURNS ON 90 DEGREES AND STARTS BLASTING OUT. THIS IS A SAFELY ISSUE BECAUSE AS A DRIVER WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS AIR IS JUST GOING TO START BLASTING OUT AT US LIKE FIRE. IF INFINITI IS SMART ENOUGH TO RECALL THE SEDAN, THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME THING WITH THE COUPES. IT IS CLEARLY A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE '03-'04 MODELS. IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR REPUTABLE NAME THEY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT. *TR

THE AC AND RADIO CONTROLS BASICALLY NONE OF THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS ARE WORKING INCLUDING DEFROSTER WHICH IS BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND AS PER INFINITI DEALERSHIP ITS A RADIO AND CIRCUITBOARD ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING AT INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN (VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN; AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD) FOR THIS ISSUES -> ITB03-007B SERVICE CAMPAIGN -> ISSUE DESCRIPTION LISTED BELOW AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. BUT INFINITI DEALER IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RECALL ON THIS GROUND AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR 1300+ BUCKS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP AS I CAN LIVE WITHOUT AC AND CLIMATE CONTROLS BUT NOT WITHOUT DEFROSTER. ALSO ITS A TROUBLE THAT AC AUTO TURNS ON AT FULL BLOWN SPEED WHICH CAUSE TOO MUCH COLD IN WINTER AND ITS A HEALTH RISK FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY INCLUDING 2 KIDS. DESCRIPTION FROM INTERNET - ON SOME MODEL YEAR 2003 G35 SEDANS MANUFACTURED THROUGH AUGUST 21, 2002, THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS MAY NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. WHEN USING THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT OR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, THE UNIT MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE. IN SOME CASES, THIS CAN BE CORRECTED BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. IN OTHER CASES, THE UNIT REMAINS INOPERATIVE AND REQUIRES SERVICE BY AN INFINITI TECHNICIAN. TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION, INFINITI HAS INITIATED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD ON THESE VEHICLES. USE INFINITI NET TO CONFIRM IF A SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THIS SERVICE CAMPAIGN (P3104). *TR

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.

FIRST DEFECT: WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND THE RADIO, HEATING AND COOLING BUTTONS. THE FAN WOULD COME ONTO HIGH AND SWITCH TO AIRCONDITIONING. I COULD NOT TURN IT DOWN OR TURN IT OFF OR TURN ON MY DEFROSTER WHEN IT WAS 30 DEGREES IN THE MORNING WHICH MADE MY VISIBILITY VERY POOR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP WAS TO PULL THE FUSES. WE CHECK THE RECALL HISTORY AND FOUND THAT IT WAS ONLY A COURTESY RECALL AND WOULDN'T BE COVERED EVEN AFTER READING THAT HUNDREDS OF G35 OWNERS WERE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD TO HAVE THE RADIO ELECTRONICS REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND SENT OUT TO BE FIXED. I THINK THIS ISSUE WOULD BE CONSISTED A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE HEAT OR A DEFROSTER. SECOND DEFECT: THE PROBLEM STARTED WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING AND IT WOULD STALL. THEN 3 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT 50MPH THE CAR TRIED TO STALL AND IT LOST ALL POWER AND THEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING SERVICE NEEDED. THE CAR SEEM TO LACK POWER. DID A RECALL CHECK AND FOUND THAT ALL THE CONDITIONS POINTED TO THE CAM SHAFT POSITION CENSOR FAILING. WE CHECKED THE VIN# AND OF COURSE MY CAR ISN'T ONE THAT IS ON THEIR RECALL LIST FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAVE ON OTHER G35 MODELS. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN YOU STALL AND HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. EVERY ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH MY CAR HAS BEEN ON THE COMPANIES RECALL LIST BUT NOT MY VIN # FOR SOME REASON. THIS ISSUE TO NEED TO REVIEWED AND CORRECTED. THIRD DEFECT: WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED TWICE IN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT OPERATES THE ELECTRIC WINDOW. NOW THE RIGHT DOOR WINDOW IS NOT WORKING.

I'VE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE WHERE THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR START FINE WHEN I DO A COLD START BUT WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP THE CAR STALLS AT TIMES. I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF THE STORIES FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THE CULPRIT ARE EITHER THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH I HAD ALREADY REPLACE THREE YEARS BACK, THE 2 CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CAM POSITION SENSORS AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I'M HOPING THAT MY VIN# IS PART OF THAT RECALL. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS CAR IS THE RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THAT I RECENTLY HAD CHANGED WITH THE FACTORY RADIO ATTACHED TO THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THE RADIO WOULD STOP WORKING. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND THE AC UNIT WOULD TURN ON BY IT SELF. I RECENTLY JUST INSTALLED AN AFTER MARKET RADIO. WITH EVERYTHING AFTER BUYING WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO DO A DOUBLE DIN CONVERSION AND INSTALLATION. IT COST ME A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY. ANOTHER ISSUE THIS CAR HAS IS THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. IT DOESN'T RETRACT PROPERLY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IT'S A CHORE JUST TRYING TO PUT ON THE SEAT BELT. *TR

LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER G35'S, MY VEHICLE'S RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS HAVE BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. THE PANEL'S LIGHT GOES OFF AND NONE OF THE BUTTONS WORK.

THIS PROBLEM ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR IS OFF. BEFORE I WAS AWARE OF THIS BATTERY DRAINING, I WAS AT A GAS STATION AT MIDNIGHT IN THE FREEZING COLD, WHEN THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER START. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE PROBLEM BY INFINITI, AND THEY DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS BUT FOR A VERY SMALL RANGE OF VINS. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, THIS IS ONE OF THEIR MOST COMMON JOBS AND NON-WARRANTY COVERED REPAIRS WILL COME UP TO $1300. SEARCHING ONLINE REVEALS MANY THREADS WITH HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY GETTING THE REPAIR MAY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT MAY RESURFACE 3-4 MONTHS LATER. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, AS IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. I'M LUCKY I DON'T LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS SNOW OR FREEZING TEMPERATURES. YOU CAN GET STUCK OUT THERE WITH NO BATTERY. *KB

THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIO FAILING BECAUSE THE RADIO CONTROLLER WAS CONNECTED TO THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE A/C BECAME STUCK ON AUTOMATIC - BLOWING AIR, CENTER CONSOLE BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING INCLUDING ALL HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING/DEFROST BUTTONS, AS WELL AS CONTROLS FOR THE RADIO AND CD PLAYER; THE RADIO CONTROLS ONLY WORKED THRU STEERING CONTROLS. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR, THEN THE CONTROLS FROZE PERMANENTLY, WITH NO ACCESS TO CENTER CONSOLE BUTTONS TO CONTROL HEATING, COOLING, DEFROST, ETC, WITH NO ACCESS THROUGH THE STEERING CONTROLS TO RADIO. EVENTUALLY, THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. STILL NO ACCESS TO CENTER CONSOLE HEATING, COOLING, AND DEFROST CONTROLS. NO WAY TO DEFROST OR DEFOG WINDSHIELDS! *TT

I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENTIRE DEFROST / AC / RADIO CLUSTER FAILED. THE AC CAME ON FULL BLAST, REPLACING THE DEFROST!!! I HAD TO PULL OVER AND PARK THE CAR DUE TO THE SAFETY FACTOR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO RUN MY DEFROST. THE ISSUE IS THE AC, DEFROST, AND RADIO STACK CONTROLS STOP WORKING. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THEM TO WORK ONCE THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS FOR G35''S BUILT IN 2002 FOR THE 2003 MODEL YEAR. MY G35 WAS BUILT IN 2002 BUT WHEN I CALLED INFINITI THEY SAID MY ''ENGINE IS THE WRONG MODEL'' INFINITI NEEDS TO FIX THIS THRU RECALL AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING THE DEFROST. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING AND THE DEFROST WENT OUT. I COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY RICH MAN AT THE EXPENSE OF MY DAUGHTERS LIFE. I HAVE READ WHERE THOUSANDS OF G35 OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON''T THINK ANY DAUGHTERS LIFE IS WORTH THE PRICE TO FIX THIS ALREADY WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. INFINITI NEEDS TO STEP TO THE PLATE. THEY ALREADY KNOW OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE TURNED A BLIND EYE. I ENVISION INFINITI GETTING BLASTED BY LAW SUITS BECAUSE THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, INFINITI WILL NOT HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON. THE ISSUE IS TOO WELL DOCUMENTED FOR INFINITI TO SAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW. *TR

I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR. IT WAS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT INFINITI RECALLED THE '03 G35 SEDAN FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY INFINITI, I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING THE LEVEL CORRECTLY. WHEN THE GAUGE REACHES APPROXIMATELY ONE-QUARTER TANK FULL, THE GAUGE DROPS TO WELL BELOW THE E MARK AND THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. EVEN AFTER PURCHASING APPROXIMATELY TWENTY DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS THE GAUGE STILL REGISTERS BELOW THE E MARK AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON. LAST WEEK ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2011, I WENT TO PURCHASE GAS BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I KNOW MY TANK HOLDS TWENTY GALLONS WHEN EMPTY, SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY DOLLARS TO FILL UP, BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE PUMP STOPPED AT FIFTY-THREE DOLLARS, WHICH WAS ABOUT THIRTEEN GALLONS. THE GAUGE ON THE DASH DID NOT EVEN REGISTER TO THE F MARK, IT STOPPED ON THREE-QUARTERS FULL, EVEN THOUGH I TRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES TO FILL THE TANK EVEN MORE. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENDER IN AUGUST OF 2011 WITH A NEW PART, BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS I DO NOT KNOW THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO MY STALLING OUT ON A ROADWAY AND AM NOT ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM AWARE OF OTHER INFINITI MODELS GOING THROUGH RECALLS BECAUSE OF FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS WHICH SOUND IDENTICAL TO WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING, SO MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I ALSO HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND QUITE A FEW BLOGS DETAIL THE EXACT EXPERIENCE I AM HAVING. *TR

I CANNOT OPERATE THE WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER ON MY CAR AND HAVE EXPERIENCED FOGGING WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR'S PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED/INVESTIGATED; I SEE NO ACTION FROM NHTSA, YET THERE IS CURRENTLY A GENERAL MOTORS RECALL ADDRESSING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME 2011 GM VEHICLE DEFOGGING SYSTEMS, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 11V149000 SAME AS GENERAL MOTORS SAFETY RECALL NO. 11057. AS MOST 2003 MODEL G35 OWNERS KNOW, THE G35 RECALL (SERVICE CAMPAIGN ITB03-007B) FOR THE "AUDIO FINISHER" ADDRESSED ONLY VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE AUGUST 2002; MINE WAS MADE 3 MONTHS LATER. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS LIKELY CAUSED BY A DIFFERENT ELECTRONIC COMPONENT, BUT THE END RESULT IS THE SAME: NO DEFOG/DEFROST OPERABILITY. REPAIR OF THE HVAC/BOSE SYSTEM AT A LOCAL SHOP WAS QUOTED $250 MINIMUM, AN AFTERMARKET STEREO WOULD REQUIRE A SPECIAL $200 DASH KIT IN ADDITION TO THE PRICE A RECEIVER, PLUS A SPECIAL ADAPTER TO INTEGRATE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTONS. I CALLED INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ASK ABOUT A "GOOD WILL PROGRAM" FOR CARS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THAT REQUIRES A DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC, QUOTED AT $140 WITH NO GUARANTEE THEY WILL REPLACE THE UNIT. THE INFINITI G35 IS A CAR MANUFACTURED FOR SALE IN THE CONTINENTAL US WITH THIS SAFETY DEFECT, AND INFINITI WANTS MORE OF MY MONEY TO FIX IT. NOT FAIR.

I COULD NOT CONTROL ANYTHING. IT EVENTUALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL, BUT RANDOMLY OCCURS - ALWAYS VERY INCONVENIENT AND NOT SAFE. I CALLED INFINITI BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR THAT HAS THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM MONTHS AGO, AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE THROUGH A RECALL (WHICH NEITHER OF US RECEIVED -SHE FOUND THE RECALL ONLINE). INFINITI TOLD ME THEY CANNOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - AND THEY MENTIONED THE COST TO REPAIR IS IN EXCESS OF $1000. I ASK WHY, IF I HAVE THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, AND BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS, PERHAPS THOUSANDS, OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND OTHER PLACES, WHY WOULD MY CAR NOT BE REPAIRED? APPARENTLY THEIR RECALL ONLY INCLUDES '03 MODELS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO A PARTICULAR DATE. HOW REDICULOUS! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE DEFROST AND THE WINDOWS CAN FOG IMMEDIATELY, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE AC COULD BEGIN BLOWING FULL FORCE DURIING COLD WEATHER, OR NOT AT ALL DURING VERY HOT WEATHER.

INFINITI ISSUED A TSB ABOUT AN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT POTENTIALLY FAILING. MEANWHILE THEY DID NO RECALL OR NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS. THE CIRCUIT CONTROLS ALL THE HVAC AND RADIO CONTROL. MEANING, WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS, YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO USE THE DEFROSTER TO DEFOG THE WINDOW. NO CONTROL CAN BE HAD OF THE SYSTEM. IT TURNS ON THE AC AUTOMATICALLY AND DISABLES ALL CONTROLS. *TR

I HAVE INFINITI G35 AND HAVE HAD THE SAME CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO/AC/DEFROST /FAN CONTROLS. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2003 THAT WAS NOT MANDATORY BUT STATED DEALERSHIPS SHOULD REPLACE THESE CIRCUIT BOARD UNITS AS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE DEALER SHIP..INSKIP- WARWICK RI - CLAIMS MY CAR DOES NOT MEET THE PROBLEM AND IT IS MY RADIO THAT NEEDS REPLACING FOR $900 EVEN THOUGH MY RADIO WORKS THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN AND I CAN CONTROL SOUND, MODES AND STATIONS. HOW CAN IT BE THAT IT IS THE RADIO AND NOT THE CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH THEY ADMIT IS AN ISSUE IN OTHER G35'S. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE, INFINITI HAS SENT RECALL REGARDING THIS, THE DEALERSHIP ADMITS THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH BOARDS AND YET THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THESE UNITS....I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL DEFROSTING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET SOME ACTION. *TR

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT OF THE INFINITI G35. IN 90% OF 2003-2004 CARS, THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN TO OCCUR. A NON-FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. LATER MODEL YEARS DO NOT SUFFER AS MUCH FROM THIS ISSUE. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. THE G35 HAS A FANCY AND EXPENSIVE LED SYSTEM. A SPECIFIC DIODE IS KNOWN TO GO BAD, WHICH MAKES THIS MORE OF A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL: HEAT/ DEFROST/ RADIO AND CD/TAPE. INTERMITTENT OPERATION WAS REPORTED TO INFINITI DEALER IN 2008. AT THE PRESENT TIME (OCT. 2010), THE CONTROL PANEL IS TOTALLY INOPERABLE AS OF THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2010. THERE IS NO WAY OF CONTROLLING THE AC/DEFROST/TEMPERATURE. THE AUDIO/ CLIMATE SYSTEM WAS INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CIRCUITRY HAS INTERNAL FAILURE. THIS HAS POSED A HAZARD SINCE THERE IS NO WAY OF CONTROLLING THE DEFROST AND FAN TO UNFOG THE WINDOWS. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN 2004, HOWEVER I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN BLOGGED. DEALER WILL REPLACE UNIT FOR APPROXIMATELY $550.00 AT OWNER'S COST.

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE MODELS. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL LOOSES CONTROL AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE DASH HAS NO FUNCTION AS IF THERE IS NO POWER, BUT DOES CONTINUE TO FUNCTION. THE "AUTO/AC" INDICATOR APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE CAR HAS TAKEN THE CONTROLS AWAY FROM YOU. THE A/C CLOSES THE VENTS TO ONLY CIRCULATE COLD AIR ON IT'S LAST SETTING. WITH ALL FUNCTIONS TURNED OFF, THE DASH TURNS ITSELF ON TO THE SAME SETTING WITHOUT ANY MANUAL OPERATIONS. THE RADIO VOLUME NOR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED (OTHER THAN FROM THE STEERING-WHEEL) AND THE AIR CONDITIONING IS STUCK ON THE LAST SETTING AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF. IS THIS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BOARD? THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. ALSO THE CAR TENDS TO LOCK ON ITS OWN. STANDING OUTSIDE TO GET GAS AND YOU HEAR THE DOORS LOCK, SOMETIMES BEFORE YOU CAN WALK AROUND THE CAR TO THE GAS PUMP. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2003 INFINITI G35 A FEW MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE I AM THE FOURTH OWNER. IT HAS RUN IMMACULATE UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. FOR SOME REASON THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TAKES ITSELF INTO AUTO MODE AND THE RADIO LIGHTS GO OUT, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL THAT CONTROL THE AC FUNCTIONS. I CANNOT USE ANY OF THOSE BUTTONS TO CHANGE ANYTHING. THE RADIO CONTINUES TO WORK AND I CAN STILL USE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO ADJUST THE RADIO, BUT I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE LIGHTS THAT TELL WHAT STATION IT'S ON NOR ADJUST ANYTHING FROM THE PANEL. THE AC GOES OUT OF MANUAL MODE INTO AUTO MODE, WHICH IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, AUTO IS A NORMAL FUNCTION, ADJUSTING ITSELF TO MAINTAIN WHATEVER TEMPERATURE YOU HAVE IT SET AT, BUT THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CHANGE IT BACK TO MANUAL MODE, NOR ANYTHING ELSE ON MY OWN AFTER IT GOES IN THAT MODE, AND TURNS OUT THE PANEL LIGHTS, MAKES ME THINK THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THANK GOD IT IS DEFAULTING TO ON AS IT IS SUMMERTIME AND OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE, BUT STILL GETS VERY COLD AND IS LOUD AT FULL BLAST. HOWEVER, IF THIS WERE WINTER MONTHS, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AND OBVIOUSLY CAUSE SERIOUS DISCOMFORT IN HAVING FREEZING COLD AIR BLOW ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS/TECHNICAL SERVICES BULLETINS ABOUT THIS ON MYCARSTATS.COM AND WONDER IF THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS. SOME FOLKS HAVE STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATING TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD... OTHERS HAVE STATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE EQUIPMENT RELATING TO THIS BUT ONLY INCLUDED THE RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I HAVEN'T YET CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH I WILL DO, BUT AM HOPING THAT THIS IS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT BY SEVERAL INFINITI OWNERS. *TR

THE RADIO VOLUME OR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER,ETC. ARE STUCK ON THEIR LAST SETTINGS AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF.

INFINITI/NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (# ITB03-007B) TO REPAIR THE 26,300 VEHICLES LISTED BY VIN # ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN.

MY AC/RADIO WOULD TURN OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. I WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE HEAT/AC TEMPERATURE IN MY CAR NOR THE FAN LEVELS. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING, I COULD CONTROL THE RADIO WITH THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. THIS STARTED IN THE FALL OF 08'. AS TIME WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND WOULD ONLY BE CORRECTED IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN. SINCE EARLY FALL 09' I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE AC/RADIO AT ALL. MY AC UNIT HAS BEEN STUCK AT 75 DEGREES AND CONTINUOUSLY BLOWS AIR, AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. SOMETIMES IT'S AT HIGH AND I HAVE TO OPEN A WINDOW TO BRING COOL AIR IN AND SOMETIMES IT RUNS AT A LOW FAN SPEED. LAST SUMMER IT WAS NOT THAT BAD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT PERMANENT PROBLEM AT THAT POINT, IT WAS JUST MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE. THIS YEAR I FEAR THAT I COULD BE IN TROUBLE DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE BEING STUCK AT 75 DEGREES AND THE HOT TEMPERATURES HERE IN PHOENIX, MY FEAR IS THAT I WILL EXPERIENCE HEAT EXHAUSTION AS I AM DRIVING AND POSSIBLY BECOME ILL OR PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

THE A/C CONTROLS, DEFROST, RADIO CONTROLS ON MY INFINITI G35 STOPPED WORKING. NO BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE WILL WORK. INFINITI SAYS THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD HAS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE CONSOLE INCLUDING THE DEFROST, HEATING AND AIR AND STEREO CONTROLS. *TR

THE ONLY WAY ANYTHING CAN BE CHANGED WITH THE RADIO IS THROUGH THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AROUND SEPTEMBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. IT WOULD RUN CONSTANTLY AS IF TRYING TO READ THE DISC EVEN WHEN THE KEYS WERE OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WON'T EVER PLAY. IT ALSO WON'T EJECT THE CDS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WELDING JOINT WAS COMING APART AND DAMAGING THE BASE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE BASE WAS UNSAFE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT THE NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 46,000. THE CONSUMER STATED IN JANUARY 20009, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK FORTH WHENEVER HE ACCELERATED FROM A COMPLETE STOP. AT FIRST, THE ROCKING WAS ISOLATED TO WHEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED FROM A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, AFTER TWO WEEKS THE ROCKING WOULD OCCUR WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF ABOUT 70 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE CONDITION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME SO SEVERE THAT THE SEAT COULD BE ROCKED BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ANY PERSON SEATED IN IT. THE DRIVER'S SEAT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. UPDATED 02/09/11 THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDOW DEFROSTER SUDDENLY SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. AT THE SAME TIME, THE AIR CONDITIONER RESET ITSELF TO 60 DEGREES AND TURNED ITSELF ON AT MAXIMUM FORCE. THE LIGHTS ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL AND RADIO PANEL WENT DARK. ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO SHUT OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RESTART THE WINDOW DEFROSTED, BUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON WERE NON-RESPONSIVE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL THE RADIO WAS THROUGH THE CONTROL BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. UNLIKE THE RADIO THERE WAS NO SECONDARY CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON. WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF THE WINDOW DEFROSTER SHUTTING OFF, ALL OF THE WINDOWS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BECAME FOGGY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT ALONG WITH THE RADIO WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 1,329.01. THE DEALER STATED THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS WERE BOTH INTERTWINED WITH THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD. UPDATED 09/10/12 THE CONSUMER STATED THE AUDIO FINISHER BOARD WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 10/10/1

1) CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T A RECALL AND WILL COST APPROX. $800 DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING OF A CIRCUIT BOARD. 2) THE CLIMATE CONTROL AND RADIO ARE INOPERABLE ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME WE START THE CAR. I READ CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE SEDAN AND NOT THE COUPE. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HOPE THIS BECOME A RECALL SOON. *TR

THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATENING DUE TO NO DEFROST WHILE DRIVING WILL CAUSE NO VISIBILITY. 3) I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE YEAR MODEL 2003 INFINITI G35 POSTED ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. INFINITI KNOWS ABOUT THE FLAW AND EVEN CORRECTED IT ON THEIR 2004 AND LATER G35 MODELS SO WHAT ABOUT THE 2003 OWNERS. *TR

IN FEBRUARY 2007 THE CD PLAYER ATE MY CD AND I NOTICED THE HEATER BECAME DEACTIVATED ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AUDIO SYSTEM. ORIGINALLY, WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER REPLACED SAID SYSTEM. THESE ARE ALL FACTORY PARTS. WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE AUDIO SYSTEM AND CIRCUIT BOARD UNIT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1500. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. I WROTE A LETTER TO INFINITI REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO, AND TO DATE NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT WAS A INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP THAT CITED THE "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN", AND RECOMMENDED I CONTACT THE DEALER. AS OF DECEMBER 3, 2008, THE DEALER STILL EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IN TOTAL, AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

I PRESENTLY OWN A 2003 INFINIT G35. THE ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS AND DASH LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO. A RECALL WAS INITIATED FOR THE "AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD" BY INFINITI BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THESE ITEMS WILL SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THESE ITEMS DO NOT FUNCTION AT PRESENT. AN INFINITI DEALER INFOMRED OF THE RECALL AND ALSO INFOMRED ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED AND THAT THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS WOULD BE THE RADIO. I WAS ALSO INFOMRED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL INFINITI AND INFINITI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS PROBLEM OR THE REPAIRS. REPAIRS COST FROM $600 TO $1250. THAT PRICE QUOTE WAS STATED TO BY INFINITI. JUST A NOTE, ALL EQUIPMENT I AM REFERRRING TO IS FACTORY INSTALLED. NO AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN INSTALLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM: THE DASH LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR CONDITIONER, DEFROST, AND HEAT GO OUT 1-2 TIMES A DAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE NO INTERIOR LIGHTS TO READ ODOMETER, ETC. AND CANNOT DEFROST WINDOWS. I CONTACTED DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE RADIO CAUSING PROBLEM AT A COST OF $1200+. CONTACTED OUT-OF-STATE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS IGNITION SWITCH. DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE PROBLEM CORRECTLY UNLESS IT IS FAILING AT THE TIME. INTERNET FORUM SHOWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
