2003 Infiniti G35

I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A CROSSWALK. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. SUDDENLY THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD IN SMALL INCREMENTS WITH A SOUND INDICATING THAT THE ANT-LOCK BRAKES WERE RELEASING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES IN RAPID SUCCESSION. I STOOD ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR STOPPED ONLY TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM ONCE MORE WHILE I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES. IN ALL THE CAR MOVED FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT. THERE WAS A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSSWALK DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT THE TIME AND A SECOND ROUND OF THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE CAR TO HIT THE PEDESTRIAN. *TR

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF CONTROL OF FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER, REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, RADIO, A/C. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN COLD OR RAINY WEATHER. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ON RARE OCCASION BUT THE FREQUENCY IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN! *TR

PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE POWER STEERING ALSO WENT OUT. EVERYTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO STILL WORK. SERVICE ENGINE SOON, "SLIP" AND "VDC OFF" LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 03V455000. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED ME MY VIN WAS NOT WITHIN THE RANGE OF THIS RECALL. SEARCHING ONLINE REVEALS OTHER OWNERS WHOSE VINS ARE NOT WITHIN THE RANGE ALSO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS RECALL SHOULD BE RE-INVESTIGATED AND REEVALUATED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PUBLIC (IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON A FREEWAY WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS). *TR

THE AC AND RADIO CONTROLS BASICALLY NONE OF THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS ARE WORKING INCLUDING DEFROSTER WHICH IS BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND AS PER INFINITI DEALERSHIP ITS A RADIO AND CIRCUITBOARD ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING AT INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN (VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN; AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD) FOR THIS ISSUES -> ITB03-007B SERVICE CAMPAIGN -> ISSUE DESCRIPTION LISTED BELOW AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. BUT INFINITI DEALER IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RECALL ON THIS GROUND AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR 1300+ BUCKS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP AS I CAN LIVE WITHOUT AC AND CLIMATE CONTROLS BUT NOT WITHOUT DEFROSTER. ALSO ITS A TROUBLE THAT AC AUTO TURNS ON AT FULL BLOWN SPEED WHICH CAUSE TOO MUCH COLD IN WINTER AND ITS A HEALTH RISK FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY INCLUDING 2 KIDS. DESCRIPTION FROM INTERNET - ON SOME MODEL YEAR 2003 G35 SEDANS MANUFACTURED THROUGH AUGUST 21, 2002, THE AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS MAY NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. WHEN USING THE AUDIO EQUIPMENT OR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, THE UNIT MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE. IN SOME CASES, THIS CAN BE CORRECTED BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. IN OTHER CASES, THE UNIT REMAINS INOPERATIVE AND REQUIRES SERVICE BY AN INFINITI TECHNICIAN. TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION, INFINITI HAS INITIATED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD ON THESE VEHICLES. USE INFINITI NET TO CONFIRM IF A SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THIS SERVICE CAMPAIGN (P3104). *TR
