2003 Infiniti G35

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLIMATE CONTROLS FAILED AND VISIBILITY WAS REDUCED BECAUSE THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL FAILURES CAUSED TOTAL LOST CONTROL OF AIR CONDITION AND AUDIO SYSTEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER DUE TO FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS ARE NOT OPERATIONAL. UNTIL FATALITIES OCCURRED AND REPORTED, CAR IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOT OPERATED AT NIGHT OR UNDER BAD WEATHER. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF FIRST MODEL OF G35. UNFORTUNATELY, INFINITI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT BUT WILLING TO FIX FOR HIGH COST. OWNERS TAKES THEIR OWN SAFETY RISKS IF CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE HIGH COST OF REPLACEMENT FROM INFINITI DEALERS. ALSO, THERE IS A RISK IF OWNERS TRY TO REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BY BUYING AND INSTALLING CHEAPER AFTERMARKET PANEL FROM ANY CAR RADIO/REPAIR SHOP. INFINITI SHOULD THINK ABOUT SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR REPUTATION. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR SON AN INFINITI G35 COUPE FOR GRADUATION. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR PURCHASE AND TO SEE HIS EYES LIGHT UP WAS PRICELESS. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO OF HAVING THE CAR, THE RADIO STOPPED AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC CONSOLE SHUT DOWN EXCEPT FOR THE AIR, WHICH IS ON FULL BLAST WITH NO OPTION TO TURN IT DOWN OR OFF. MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO ONE OF THE INFINITI DEALERS WHO TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT MODEL FOR THE FOUR DOORS ONLY AND THE SEDAN WOULD BE ALMOST $2000 TO REPAIR. I CALLED CORPORATE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE THROUGH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, THEY ARE BASICALLY NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE G35 COUPES. I SPOKE WITH KELLY WITH CONSUMERS AFFAIRS AND ASKED WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO SINCE THIS IS A HAZARD FOR OUR SON AND SHE SAID, "WELL THAT WOULD BE AT YOUR DISCRETION TO LET HIM DRIVE." CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? SHE SAID TAKE THE CAR TO OUR NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR A "DIAGNOSIS TEST" AND THEN CALL THEM BACK, BUT, SINCE THIS IS OUT OF WARRANTY THERE IS PROBABLY NOTHING WE WILL DO....HOW CAN THEY REFUSE TO DEAL WITH A MAJOR PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND THEN TRY TO STICK THE REPAIR COST TO US?? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE AIR CANNOT BE TURNED DOWN OR OFF AND IS CONSTANTLY BLOWING INTO THE DRIVERS EYES WHICH IMPEDES THEIR VISION. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE DEFROST AND HEAT WHICH IS INOPERABLE. THE ENTIRE CONSOLE IS OUT!!! *TR

VEHICLE MOMENTARILY LOST POWER AND DASH INSTRUMENT LIGHTS WENT ON (SLIP, VDC OFF, SERVICE ENGINE SOON). THE IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE) WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER IN DECEMBER 2011 FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. SEPARATELY, HIGH MOUNT REAR STOP LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE G35. AUDIO FINISHER CONTROLS THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM AND STEREO. DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS DANGEROUS BUT IT IS! NO ABILITY TO USE DEFROST IN THUNDERSTORM YESTERDAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER NUMEROUS TIMES. CALLED INFINITI TODAY AND THEIR RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. THEY OFFER A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT IF YOU BUY ANOTHER CAR ETC. CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I WILL NOT PAY INFINITY $1500 TO REPAIR WHEN THEY EFFECTIVELY CONCEDE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

HELLO, I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35 AND HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR OVERHEATING AFTER DRIVING IT FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ALSO HAVE NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR AND REPLACE ITEMS SUCH AS THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT HOUSING, AND ENGINE FANS AND CONTINUE TO STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE ON AND OFF BETWEEN MECHANIC VISITS FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD, CONSIDERING THAT THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPEN WITH ME ALSO DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVING TO PULL OVER AND GET MY CAR TOWED TO MY PLACE OF RESIDENCE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE AND A NUMBER OF DRIVERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. JUST DO A GOOGLE WEB SEARCH FOR "2003 INFINITI G35 OVERHEATING" AND YOU WILL HAVE A NUMBER OF RESULTS COME UP ON THIS ISSUE AND ALSO A NUMBER OF OTHER DRIVERS POSTING ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS PART OF RECALL THAT MY CAR HASN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED AS PART OF. IF NOT, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THIS STATE. ANY ASSISTANCE ON THIS ON GOING ISSUE WILL BE APPRECIATED. *TR
