2003 Infiniti G35

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE, THE DYNAMIC CONTROL AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE PROBLEM RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. PAM

THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, WHICH INCLUDES THE DEFROSTER. LUCKILY IT OCCURRED IN THE MONTH OF MAY AND NOT IN JANUARY WHEN THE SNOW FLIES, AS IT COULD HAVE CREATED A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE DEFROSTER NOT WORKING. AFTER LOOKING ON-LINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE TO G35 OWNERS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS DESCRIBING THE SAME CONDITION. IT IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITHIN THE CONTROLS FOR THE RADIO & CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. IT APPEARS THE SAFETY ISSUE IS BEING IGNORED, POSSIBLY BECAUSE IT'S TIED TO THE RADIO. IF THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS, IT'S PROBABLY ONLY MATTER OF TIME. WITHIN THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS LISTING IT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES. PLEASE DON'T IGNORE IT ANY LONGER. IMAGINE YOURSELF ON A TRIP CROSS COUNTY, IN JANUARY, AND THE DEFROSTER STOPS WORKING. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING JUST TO GET TO A TOWN. OR YOU MIGHT RISK CONTINUING YOUR TRIP SO AS TO GET HOME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I'M SURE THERE ARE CASES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE DONE JUST THAT, RISKING THE SAFETY OF THEMSELVES & OTHERS DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. ALL BECAUSE A CAR MANUFACTURER WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. P.S. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 69000 MILES. *TR

CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, UNABLE TO RETRIEVE CD'S, ERROR MESSAGE. LATER RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS WENT OUT. CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. CALLED INFINITI IN SARASOTA, WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN, I DID. HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, WAS TOLD BY INFINITI THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEY RESET SENSOR. A FEW MONTHS LATER, RADIO WENT OUT AGAIN, A/C AT 60 DEGREES, CANNOT LOWER TEMPERATURE, CANNOT TURN ON/OFF FROM DASHBOARD; RADIO WORKS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY. PROBLEM CAUSED BATTERY TO GO DEAD, CALLED AAA, WAS TOLD SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY; TOLD OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ADVISED ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MAYBE THE REASON. ONCE BATTERY PURCHASED, ADVISED AGAIN BATTERY MAY GO OUT DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DRAINING BATTERY. WENT ONLINE, FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. CALLED INFINITI AGAIN, TOLD MY VIN # MAY NOT BE LISTED. COST APPROXIMATELY $1,200.00 OR MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. CALLED INFINITI/NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE, TOLD MY VIN NUMBER NOT ON RECALL LIST.

TOLD I CAN PAY, AND IF A RECALL LATER WITH MY VIN NUMBER , I CAN BE REIMBURSED WITH PROOF OF REPAIR WITH INFINITI. AS OF THIS WRITING, I AM STILL UNABLE TO TURN ON/OFF DEFROST, HEATER, A/C, CD PLAYER, CASSETTE PLAYER, OR RADIO; NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON DASHBOARD ARE OPERABLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN SO MANY WAYS IN TERMS OF ROAD SAFETY; DEFROST NOT WORKING (UNABLE TO DEFROST WINDOWS FOR VISION WHILE DRIVING); DRAINING BATTERY; HAZARDOUS DUE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS THAT CAN CAUSE A PERSON TO FREEZE WHILE IN MY CAR, AND A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. I PRAY AN INVESTIGATION INITIATED DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BY MANUFACTURER, NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER; THAT THE RESOLUTION IS FAIR AND JUST FOR ALL, AND NOT JUST BY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS ONLY. *TR
