2003 Infiniti G35

THE AUTO A/C POPS ON ALL BY ITSELF, DISABLING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CONTROLS. THE RADIO LIGHTS AND BUTTONS NO LONGER WORK, THE FAN OR TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED, AND THE DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE USED. THE DEALERSHIP CONCLUDED THAT THE ENTIRE RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, A PROBLEM THAT IS SO COMMON ON THESE CARS THAT THE REBUILT RADIO PART TO FIX IT IS OFTEN BACKORDERED. ONCE AGAIN IT APPEARS THAT GOOD 'OL INFINITI/NISSAN HAS ISSUED AN INFERIOR TSB FOR THE PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SCOPE OF VINS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. SO IF YOU DON'T DIE FROM YOUR DEFECTIVE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR STALLING YOU OUT AT 65MPH, BE SURE TO WATCH OUT FROM CRASHING FROM THE FOG ON YOUR WINDSHIELD BECAUSE YOUR DEFROSTER WON'T WORK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IN THE HIGHWAY THE RADIO MADE A CLICK AND REMAINED SILENT FOLLOWED BY THE AC AUTOMATICALLY COMING ON AT FULL POWER. THE DASH CONTROLS CAN NO LONGER BE ACCESSED . AT THE TIME IT IS BOTHERSOME BUT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS THE CAR IS AT DANGER. IF THIS WAS WINTER EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE FOGGED UP AND WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER . I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM .THIS PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TAKING IT INTO CONTEXT. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD BUT IT ONLY INCLUDED 23600 CARS. INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COVER THE COST. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED AND CAUSED ALL THE WINDOWS TO BECOME FOGGY. THE CONTACT MOVED OFF THE ROADWAY AND OPENED ALL WINDOWS TO CLEAR THE CONDENSATION. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTIONED WHICH CAUSED THE FAN TO ACTIVATE AND FOG THE WINDOWS. THE DEALER ADVISED THE FAILURE WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,400.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THIS SITE FIRST. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ONCE A YEAR BECAUSE THEY WEAR PREMATURELY. THAT IS A $1000 JOB. ONLY HAVE HAS THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS. LAST YEAR IN 09, THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING WITH 6 CD'S STUCK IN THE CHANGER, I HAD NATIONWIDE INFINITY LOOK INTO THIS, WHEN THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $1400 TO FIX, BUT MY YEAR CAR HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO I SAID FORGET IT, I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY SITTING AROUND. THEN COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF BY IT SELF A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK AND COME RIGHT BACK ON. THEN JUST THE OTHER DAY, BEING JUNE 5TH 2010 MY RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL AND I NOW HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY AIR CONDITION. IT IS STUCK ON 70 FULL BLAST. NOW WASTING A TON OF GAS ALSO. I CALLED NATIONWIDE TO MAKE AN APPT, WHEN I DISCUSSED THE ISSUE, THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN SAID " LET ME GUESS, 2003 G35" I SAID OH, SO YOU KNOW THIS ISSUE, HE SAID YES WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME, YOUR LOOKING AT !600 TO FIX! I THEN CALL INFINITY HEADQUARTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO HAVE THEM TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE DUE TO IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO RECALL. IM A SINGLE MOM, SO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY LAYING AROUND. I THINK ITS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ME NOT HAVING ANY CONTROL OVER THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS! I AM CONTACTING ALL LOCAL NEWS STATIONS TO GET SOME HELP! *TR

AIR CONDITIONING UNIT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AT THE SAME TIME, THE RADIO BECAME INOPERABLE. INITIALLY THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES PER WEEK, BUT NOW IT'S A PERMANENT ISSUE. INFINITI RECOGNIZES THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS, BUT WILL NOT RECALL BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTROL THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROST. *TR

2003 G-35, A/C AND RADIO HAVE GONE OUT, MANY MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM - SAFETY HAZARD - DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS BY OWNERS REGARDING LINKING OF THESE TWO SYSTEMS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS MANY OWNERS DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO DO THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR
