2003 Infiniti G35

IM CURRENTLY HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CENTER CONSOLE LOSING POWER TO MY AC AND RADIO. THE PROBLEMS RANGE FROM CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY SHORTAGES, AC BLASTING AT FULL STRENGTH AND BEING UNABLE TO CHANGE THE SETTING, TO THE RADIO INTERMITTENTLY PUTTING OUT SOUND. THIS PROBLEM HAS LED TO SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE CAR IN THAT THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE AC RESULTS IN FOGGED OVER WINDSHIELDS LEADING TO POOR VISIBILITY. 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. IT IS EMBARRASSING THAT INIFINITI DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT ACROSS THE BOARD. IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE SEDAN WHY ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE TWO DOOR MODEL. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS PROBLEM MAY BE REMEDIED. *TR

WINDOWS FAIL TO OPERATE (OPEN OR CLOSE) - DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC MOTOR CONFIRMED. RADIO CANNOT BE TURNED ON. AC CANNOT BE TURNED OFF - IT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AT MAX AC SETTING AND MAXIMUM FAN SPEED. CD PLAYER WILL NOT TURN ON. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OWNERS OF INFINITI G35'S. THE RADIO, AC AND CD PROBLEMS ARE LINKED TOGETHER, AS IT APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A WIDESPREAD FAILURE OF AN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD COMPONENT. THE MANUFACTURE HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH AUGUST 21, 2002. IT DOES NOT COVER NUMEROUS VEHICLES THAT PRESENT WITH THE EXACT SAME FAULT MANUFACTURED AFTER THAN DATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE A/C AUDIO CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED AND THE DEFROSTER, AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATER WERE INOPERABLE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD ALSO FAIL ONCE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE A/C CIRCUIT BOARD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,800. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

THE RADIO SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS DUE TO COLD SOLDER JOINT ON RADIO CIRCUIT BOARD. OTHER ENGINE FUNCTIONS AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS ARE ROUTED THROUGH THE RADIO CIRCUIT BOARD SO WHEN THIS FAILS, IT PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN THE RADIO SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SET TO MAXIMUM SETTING. ALSO IN SOME CASES, THE MALFUNCTIONING RADIO RESULTS IN BATTERY DRAIN. INFINITI PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL BUT THE REPAIRED RADIOS ALSO EXHIBIT THE SAME DEFECT. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY DECLINE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. LOCAL INFINITI SERVICE MANAGER STATES THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH INFINITI RADIOS. WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO COMPILE STATISTICS TO DETERMINE IF INFINITI SHOULD IMPLEMENT AN EXTENDED RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

MY RADIO AND DASH GOES OUT AND MY A/C COMES ON FULL BLAST WITH PRESET TEMPERATURE AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO TURN IT DOWN OR TURN IT OFF. INFINITI DEALER SAID THE RADIO CONTROL UNIT CONTROLS CLIMATE INCLUDING A/C. DEALER SAID A RADIO CIRCUIT BOARD WAS MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT. INFINITI SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. I'M REALLY SCARY TO DRIVE IN WINTER WHEN I NEED DEFROST ON AND NEED TO CONTROL CLIMATE. I HEARD SO MANY INFINITI G35 OWNER HAS SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
