NEAR ACCIDENT IN ONE EVENT WHILE PASSING TRUCK. MY MECHANIC INDICATES BOTH CAM SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. INDICATES THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN NISSAN SENTRAS THAT HAD A RECALL. I CONTACTED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS- THEY INDICATED NO RECALL ON MY MODEL. *TR

RECENTLY THE AUDIO/AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL UNIT IS INOPERATIVE. THE DISPLAY ON THE AUDIO SOURCE GOES BLANK. SINCE I CAN'T CONTROL MY HEAT/COOL SETTING I FEEL HELPLESS WHEN I WANT TO ADJUST FOR COMFORT. I HAVE BEEN READING A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE HAVE A VOLUNTEER SERVICE RECALL FOR THE CIRCUIT BOARD, BUT IT ONLY COVERS THROUGH APRIL 2002. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON DECEMBER 2002. CAN YOU TELL ME IF THEIR HAS BEEN AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE SERVICE RECALL THAT WOULD PUT ME IN A BETTER POSITION? *TR

INFINITY HAS NEGLECTED TO REMEDY A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THEIR DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS PARTICULARLY AS IT PERTAINS TO THE 2003 AND 2004 G35 SEDAN WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE WEAR RESULTS IN ROTOR REPLACEMENT EVERY 10-15,000 MILES. WARRANTY PROGRAM ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM FAILED TO INFORM CONSUMERS THAT THE NEW ROTORS REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE ROTORS WERE THE SAME MAKE AND MANUFACTURER. CONSUMERS LED TO BELIEVE DEFECTIVE ROTOR SITUATION WAS RESOLVED ONLY TO DISCOVER (AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED) THAT ROTORS FAILED AGAIN. RESULT IS EXCESSIVE REPAIRS DUE TO FAULTY PARTS AND EXTREME LOSS OF RESALE VALUE. INFINITY REFUSES TO COVER REPLACEMENT. MY 2003 G35 HAS 29,877 MILES AND NEEDS IT'S SECOND SET OF ROTORS! *TR
