2003 INFINITI G35 AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD FAILURE. FAILURE OCCURED JULY 2011. AUDIO FINISHER BOARD ISSUE IDENTIFIED IN 2003 INFINITI TSB CAMPAIGN ID P3104 / ITB03-007B VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (AUTO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD). WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE / VIN NOT COVERED. DEALER REPAIR WAS $900. AUDIO SYSTEM AND ENVIROMENTAL CONTROLS INSIDE CAR DISABLED. IF THIS HAPPENED IN WINTER COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEFROSTER / VISIBILITY ISSUES. *TR

WHEN I TURNED ON THE BOSE RADIO, THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT ON FULL BLAST AND THE WHOLE CONTROL PANEL WENT OUT. I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND THIS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION(NO SPEEDOMETER, DEFROSTER, ETC.). NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITHOUT USE OF DEFROSTER, THIS SITUATION CAN BE FATAL! I HAVE READ THE EDMUNDS FORUM REGARDING THIS ISSUE(AND ALSO NHSTA COMPLAINTS) AND THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON. APPARENTLY INFINITI RECALLED SOME 2003 MODELS(MADE BEFORE JUNE 2002) BUT SINCE MINE WAS MADE IN NOV. 2002 IT IS NOT INCLUDED. THE FIX I HAVE READ ABOUT COSTS $1500-$2000(AND SOME OF THESE HAVE FAILED AGAIN WITH NO MORE HELP FROM INFINITI). YOUR HELP IN GETTING EVERY 2003 G-35 RECALLED AND FIXED PERMANENTLY WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THE DEFROSTER ONLY EMIT HEAT AND DOES NOT ASSIST IN DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD WHEN NECESSARY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THE AUDIO UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A WIRING FAILURE . THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

AIR CONDITIONING BLASTS AT ALL TIMES THAT CAR ENGINE IS RUNNING. NO WAY TO CONTROL, LOWER OR CHANGE THE A/C DEFROSTER, HEAT OR DEFOGGER. RADIO PANELS ARE SIMILARLY "BLACKED OUT" MEANING THEY ARE NOT WITHIN THE CONTROL OF THE OPERATOR. MULTIPLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED SIMILAR OWNERS IT WILL BE $4,000 TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS LARGELY A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY OF THIS ISSUE AS WHEN TOYOTA'S WERE RECALLED AND PEOPLE WERE INJURED IT WAS THE INSURANCE COMPANY, (STATE FARM) THAT REALIZED THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION FIRST. *KB

THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: A/C WILL BE STUCK AT FULL POWER, AND ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE DOES NOT FUNCTION, BUT AFTER TURNING CAR OFF & THEN ON, PROBLEM WOULD DISAPPEAR. I HAVE NO POWER IN THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND THE A/C BLASTS CONTINUOUSLY. THE CENTER CONSOLE CONTROLS INCLUDE THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CONTROLS, WHICH ARE USELESS NOW. *TT
