  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.

  THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IS NO GOOD . IM SCARED I CAN GET INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT, I FEEL NISSAN/INFINITI SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I AM A MEMBER OF A ONLINE INFINITI FORUM AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME CAR MODEL AND YEAR. *TR

• 12/30/2009· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  WAS DRIVING MY INFINITI G35 2003, WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE GOING SLOW MY ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR, BEYOND MY CONTROL, I HIT THE GAS PEDAL HARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT WHILE PANICKING TRYING TO RELEASE IT. I WAS COMING TO AN INTERSECTION I HAD TO STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST EXACTLY BUT IT WAS OVER 100 MPH. IT HAPPENED VERY FAST, I DID TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT MISSED AND HIT REVERSE I THEN WENT SIDEWAYS AND MY CAR MADE SOME VERY WEIRD WHINING SOUNDS. I THEN SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. I SHOULD'VE DONE THAT FIRST BUT IN THAT SITUATION YOU JUST PANIC. AFTER COASTING TO A LONG STOP I STARTED IT AGAIN. SAME THING STILL 8K RPMS, PEDAL STILL AT THE FLOOR, I SHUT IT OFF AND INSPECTED MY PEDAL IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. NO FLOOR MAT GRABBED IT (LIKE INFINITY INSISTED HAPPENED) AND I AM 150 PERCENT SURE I DID NOT DEPRESS MY PEDAL THEN OR EVER TO THE FLOOR FOR WHICH IT COULD STICK. *TR

  MY AC/BOSE STEREO SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE. I CANNOT TURN THE SYSTEM ON AT ALL. THE A/C IS ALSO STUCK ON AND I CAN'T CONTROL IT. *TR

• 12/30/2008· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  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. 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

• 12/30/2004· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  I PURCHASED MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IN OCTOBER 2003. I ONLY HAVE 19,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING LOUDLY SINCE ABOUT 13,0000 MILES. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 2 OR 3 OCCASIONS WHEN I'VE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. I'VE BOUGHT SEVERAL CARS AND NEVER HAVE I HEARD THAT THE BREAKS SQUEAKING UNBEARABLY WAS NORMAL. THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL I BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN AND IF THE BRAKES ARE EVEN MORE WORN DOWN THEY MIGHT SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR IS EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. DO THE BREAKS HAVE TO TOTALLY GO OUT AND I RUN INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE BEFORE I CAN GET THEM FIXED UNDER WARRANTY??? I HAVE A 95 MUSTANG AND IT SOUNDS BETTER THAN MY 2003 INFINITI. I DON'T WANT TO PAY 30,000 FOR A CAR THAT SQUEEKS AS IF I'M DRIVING AN OLD BEAT UP LEMON. HELP! KDJ. *AK

• 12/30/2003· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ONLY BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I PUT VERY MILEAGE ON MY CAR, I TRAVEL ALONE AT NIGHT/VERY EARLY MORNING. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM IN A DESERTED AREA AND MY BRAKES FAIL? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN EVERY 8.000 MILES AND I FIND THAT VERY UNREASONABLE. INFINITY SHOULD REPLACE THESE LIGHT BRAKES FOR A HEAVIER SYSTEM.

  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.

• 12/15/2011· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEAT BELTS

  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

• 12/15/2004· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I AM A MASTER MECHANIC AND HAVE WORKED IN THE INDUSTRY SINCE 1969. I ALSO PERFORMED ACIDENT INVESTIGATIONS FOR MERCED BENZ NORTH AMERICA. I NOW OWN A SMALL REPAIR FACILITY IN CA. AND IN THE CORSE OF MAKEING REPAIRS TO THREE G35 INFINITIS (YEARS 2003 AND 2004) I HAVE FOUND THE FUEL FILLER HOSE CRACKED AND BRITTLE. I HAVE A G35 LNFINITY MYSELF AND HAVE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF THE PROBLEM. MY CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FUEL HOSE IS CRACKING. I HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER AND HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO INFINITY CONSUMER COMPLAINT LINE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGE THAT MY G35 HAS NO PROBLEM AND HE'S ONLY SEEN THE PROBLEM ON THE FX. I PERSONLY REINSPECTED THE HOSE AND FOUND A CRACK, ONE WHICH ALSO CAN BE FELT , IS ABOUT 1/4" LONG AND HALF WAY THROUGHT THE HOSE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND EXPLAINED THAT IN THE CASE OF A REAR END ACCIDENT THE HOSE COULD REPTURE, SPILL FUEL AND CREAT A PINTO LIKE BOMB. I FEEL THAT THE DEALER IS PUTTING ME OFF, AND THAT NISSIAN IS TRYING TO SWEEP THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG AND IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND . I WANT YOUR AGENICY TO BE AWARE OF THE NEED FOR A SAFETY HAZZARD.THE FUEL HOSE IS NOT READLY SEEN AND I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ONLY AFTER HAVEING REMOVED THE REAR AXLE SUBFRAME FOR REPLACEMENT OF A FUEL TANK. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT GOING TO SHOW UNTILL THE IS A HIGH RATE OF FAILER, OR WORST, UNTILL PEOPLE START GETTING INJURED OR KILLED. *AK

  2003 INFINITI G35. THE RADIO, A/C, & HEAT CONTROLS GO OUT DUE TO A TERRIBLE MISTAKE BY THE ENGINEERS IN ROUTING THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS TO ONE CIRCUIT BOARD. LIVING IN THE MID-WEST THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS WHEN IT'S SNOWING. INFINITI ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL, BUT MOST LIKELY MISSED AROUND 90,000 CARS.

THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT RESETS ITSELF TO 75 DEGREES AND AUTO CLIMATE, WHICH PROMPTLY RAMPS UP AND GOES FULL BLAST, WITH NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF. 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.

MANY G35 OWNERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY INCLUDING MY HOMETOWN ARIZONA, HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT (IN THE REAR VIEW WINDOW) NOT DISPLAYING WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE MANUFACTURE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I FIGURED THIS IS A STEP FOR NOT JUST OTHER OWNERS TO REALIZE THE PROBLEM BUT TO HAVE IT ANNOUNCED NATION WIDE SO WE ARE NOT AT FAULT FOR THE FAULTY PRODUCT. WE DON'T WANT TO BE PULLED OVER FOR NOT HAVING A NON WORKING THIRD BRAKE LIKE OR EVEN CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO SOMEONE NOT SEEING A BRAKE LIGHT IN THE CENTER. AS A OWNER OF INFINITI G35 COUPE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPONENTS THAT NEED ADDRESSING TO BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THAT THE OWNERS ARE ABLE TO DO.

THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED, AND THE SERVICE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

  THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS DO NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. WHEN USING THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT OR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, THE UNIT BECOMES INOPERATIVE.THERE IS ALREADY A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THIS, HOWEVER INFINITI TOLD ME THAT OUR CAR'S VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AND IDENTICAL YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF CAR. *TR

  INFINITI G35 COUPE DRIVER SEAT BELT DEFECTIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FRESNO CA IN OCT. 08. THEY TOLD ME IT IS FINE AND A FEW DAYS LATER IT BROKE AT THE ANCHOR BOLT. I HAD TO TOE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE AND THEY REPLACED THE BOLT. IN OCT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THAT DEALER TO CHECK THE SEAT BELTS THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT IN FRONT IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPLACED. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK TO REPLACE IT THEY TOLD ME IT IS WORKING FINE NOW AND DOES NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT MIGHT BREAK JUST LIKE THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DID A FEW DAYS AFTER THEY GAVE ME A CLEAN CHIT THAT IT WAS FINE. *TR

  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
