BOUGHT MY INFINITI G35 IN MAY OF 2002, EVER SINCE DAY ONE, THE DRIVER'S SEATS SEEMS TO BE MOVING, ROCKING DURING ACCELERATION AND BRAKING.. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON A LOT OF G35'S. DEALER'S AND INFINITI HAS NOT RELESASE A FIX THAT WORKS YET AFTER A YEAR... I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, BECAUSE TWICE MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING BRAKING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT..... THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH LIFE OF THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WHERE THEY MIGHT FAIL PREMATURELY... MOST DRIVERS OF THE G COMPLAIN THAT THEIR PADS AND ROTORS ARE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AS SOON AS 8,000 MILES AND ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.*AK

DRIVERS SEAT "ROCKS" BACK AND FORTH, SOMETIMES EMITTING A "POPPING" OR "CLICKING" NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHILE CORNERING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS CAUSED DISRUPTION OF NORMAL DRIVING HABITS, RESULTING IN ERRATIC ACCELERATION AND OVER AND UNDERSTEERING. I HAVE FOUND CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SEAT REDUCE THE MOVEMENT, BUT THESE ADJUSTMENTS MAKE THE SEAT UNCOMFOTABLE AND DO NOT PROVIDE THE PROPER SITTING POSITION I NEED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE THUS NOTIFIED TWO SEPERATE INFINITI DEALERSHIPS, BOTH OF WHOM WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND ONE OF WHICH MADE THE MOVEMENT WORSE DURING THEIR "INSPECTION" OF THE FAULTY SEAT. I OWN AN INFINITI G35 WITH THE PREMIUM PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES LEATHER UPHOLSTERY AND A FULL-POWER DRIVERS SEAT.*AK
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FUEL FILLER HOSE MAY CRACK AND RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE HOSE WHILE REFUELING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER HOSE. RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006, FOR NISSAN OWNERS, AND ON MARCH 13, 2006, FOR INFINITI OWNERS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
ON CERTAIN SEDAN AND COUPE MODEL VEHICLES, THE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE BRAKE LAMPS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
CERTAIN SEDANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEADLAMPS, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A MEANS TO ADJUST THE HEADLAMPS. TAMPERPROOF CAPS TO PREVENT HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADLAMPS ARE THEN INSTALLED. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE MISSING THE TAMPERPROOF CAPS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE MISSING TAMPERPROOF CAPS ON THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FUEL HOSE CONNECTION FOR THE OUTLET OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ATTACHED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AND COULD COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE CONNECTION COMES LOOSE WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING DUE TO LACK OF FUEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO, IF THE CONNECTION COMES LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR ATTEMPTING TO START OR RESTART THE ENGINE, SOME FUEL WILL DISCHARGE FROM THE FUEL PUMP. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTERNAL IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, PROPERLY ATTACH THE FUEL HOSE TO THE FUEL PUMP. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN OCTOBER 7, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
