2003 Infiniti G35

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL AND BATTERY SERVICE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD STALL AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 112,044.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO ACTIVATED, SUDDENLY THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER AND RADIO BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL OUT AT 50 MPH+ AND CONTROL OF POWER STEERING WOULD BE LOST (BATTERY LIGHT & VDC LIGHT WOULD COME ON DASH), RENDERING THE VEHICLE A DANGEROUSLY FAST MOVING LEAD SLED. POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD RESUME AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM YIELDED NO EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. AFTER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THE SENSOR WOULD GET TOO HOT AND SHUT DOWN, CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF COOLING, POWER WOULD RESUME. APPARENTLY A TSE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THE VIN FOR MY CAR SINCE IT WAS PRODUCED LATER IN THE MODEL YEAR. THE SENSOR (A $40 COST PART!) WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY AFTER PUTTING UP A FIGHT. INFINITI/NISSAN NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THE SCOPE OF AFFECTED VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE OR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD SOMEONE DIE WHEN THEIR CAR STALLS OUT AT 65MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY WHO STATED THAT THE BANK ONE POSITION CRANK SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AGAIN WHO REPLACED THE BANK ONE POSITION CRANK SHIFT SENSOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

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 VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER PLACE OF RESIDENCE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HER SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND THAT ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE AT HER EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 94,000.
