2003 Infiniti G35

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF CONTROL OF FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER, REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, RADIO, A/C. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN COLD OR RAINY WEATHER. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ON RARE OCCASION BUT THE FREQUENCY IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN! *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

THE AIR CONTROL ON MY CAR WENT OUT. THE CAR'S RADIO AND AIR CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK. THE AIR IS STUCK ON 72 DEGREES COOL WITH A/C ON. I WAS IN KENTUCKY AT THE TIME AND UNABLE TO MANAGE MY TEMPERATURE. CAR'S INTERIOR WINDOWS FOGGING UP, UNABLE TO CONTROL DEFROST OR WINDSHIELD AIR DIRECTION. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, WHEN AIR IS ON AT CERTAIN TIMES WINDOWS FOG UP AND REDUCE VISIBILITY. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH INFINITI OWNERS. *TR
