I TOOK IN THE CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE FOR RECALLS AND THE SERVICE DEPT. NOTIFIED ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ON BOTH SIDES WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND THE ROTORS WOULD NEED RESURFACING. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SAME DEALER IN APRIL 2002 AND THE CAR WAS BUILT IN MARCH 2002. THE CAR PRESENTLY HAS 16K MILES ON IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS, EVEN WITH PERFORMANCE BRAKES, FOR THEM TO FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. INFINTI TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL.I HAVE A BMW 540 AND ITS DEFINETLY NOT NORMAL AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. INFINITI SHOULD REPPLAVE THE BRAKES AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR FREE.*AK

INFINITI G35 SEDANS AND COUPES NEED FRONT BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR REPLACEMENTS EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. ORIGINALLY, INFINITI WAS PROVIDING FREE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR REPLACEMENTS, THEN HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND SAYING IT'S A PERFORMANCE BRAKE; THEREFORE, THE BRAKES ARE EXPECTED TO WEAR OUT FASTER. I'VE OWNED BMWS, AND THEY RARELY …

I'VE OWNED BMWS, AND THEY RARELY REQUIRED BRAKE REPLACEMENTS PRIOR TO 30,000 OR 40,000 MILES. *LA

NEEDED NEW BRAKES AT 14,000 MILES. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKES SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THIS. SHOULDN'T THIS BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY? I'VE SEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT I FEEL INFINITI SHOULD MAKE A CHANGE AND REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ALREADY HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *LA

TOOK MY INFINITI G35 TO DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE AT 15,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD MY BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING WITH ONLY 10% REMAINING. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED PREMATURE BRAKE FAILURE IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM FOR G35'S. MY WIFE AND I ARE NOT HARD DRIVERS AND TYPICALLY DRIVE 40,000 MILES BETWEEN BRAKE JOBS. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF I HAD KNOWN I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES EVERY YEAR. INFINITI SHOULD SHARE THE COST WITH G35 OWNERS FOR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *LA

I TOOK MY G35 IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT 15,000 MILES AND WAS INFORMED I ONLY HAD 5% OF MY BRAKE PADS LEFT. THEY HAD THE NERVE TO BLAME IT ON CITY DRIVING. AS MUCH AS I LIKE MY G35, THIS WHOLE OCCURRENCE AND HOW INFINITI DEALT WITH ME HAS SOURED ME AGAINST THEM. *LA

THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ON MY G35 (ONE YEAR OLD WITH 11,000 MILES) NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE REAR BRAKE PADS, THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN HARD AND THE WEAR IS EXTREMELY PREMATURE. IT MAY CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT ADMIT/INFORM CUSTOMERS THAT THIS PREMATURE WEAR IS AN ISSUE, THEY CLASSIFY IT AS NORMAL WEAR WHICH IT MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S).

Dec 12, 2002
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.

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.

IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTERNAL IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
