VEHICLE HAD ISSUES WITH NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE FASTER THAN 5 MPH. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED IT WAS A PINCHED CRUISE CONTROL GROUND WIRE AND FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE OPERATED FINE FOR ONE WEEK, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. TOWED VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME WAS TOLD THAT THE ECU AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO IT GETTING WET FROM A GROMMET THAT WAS LOOSE DUE TO A AFTERMARKET ELECTRONICS WIRE UNDER IT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HAVE NOT HAD VEHICLE FOR ~5 WEEKS AND NO LOANER CAR WAS PROVIDED. UPON QUESTIONING INFINITI ABOUT WHY THE DELAY, I WAS TOLD THAT APPARENTLY THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS AND NONE WERE AVAILABLE. THIS IS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE 2003.5 G35 COUPE HAS A DIFFERENT HARNESS THAN THE 04 G35 COUPE. WAS TOLD JAPAN HAD TO SPECIALLY MAKE A HARNESS AND SHIP IT. WILL NOT GET HARNESS TILL THE 20TH OF MARCH. PROBLEM WAS THAT DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST TRIP THERE. HAD THAT BEEN CAUGHT I WOULD NOT BE PAYING ~3000.00 AND WITH OUT A CAR FOR 5 WEEKS. UPON TRYING TO DISCUSS OPTIONS WITH SERVICE MANAGER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD GO TO COURT, AND THAT THEY WOULD WIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN I DO. *AK

ON JANUARY 26TH, 2004 I WAS COMING BACK FROM SCHOOL ON THE STATE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY G35 COUPE (2003) WENT OUT CONTROL. AS A RESULT I CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN AND DAMAGED THE CAR BADLY. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR LITTLE OVER HALF A YEAR AND IT NEVER SEEM TO BE PERFORMING BAD. THAT DAY I WAS JUST SHOCKED AFTER WHAT HAPPENED. IT LOOKED LIKE I WOULD PULL A HAND BRAKE AND START MAKING DONUTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT MY CASE IS THE SAME AS COMPLAINT NUMBER 10018618. I ALSO THOUGHT THAT I SKID ON THE BLACK ICE BUT THE ROADWAY WAS PERFECTLY DRY WHEN I CHECKED AFTERWARDS. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CAN I INVESTIGATE MY CASE, BECAUSE I AM 100% CONVINCED THAT SOMETHING WAS MALFUNCTIONING IN MY CAR AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THAT TRAVELING ON THE STRAIGHT ROAD I STARTED TO SPIN LIKE CRAZY ALL THE SUDDEN.*AK *JB

CONSTANT BRAKE NOISE - HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN MY BRAKES NEED REPLACING IF THEY ARE ALWAYS SQUEAKING - THAT'S USUALLY A SIGN, BUT IN THIS CASE THE ONLY SIGN WILL BE WHEN I CRASH INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY STOP WORKING. *JB

I FIRST REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS (WHICH WERE WARPED) ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE AT 14,000 MILES AFTER THEY HAD BEEN SQUEALING SINCE APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES. BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT I HAD TO ADD BRAKE FLUID, WHICH SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON A NEW CAR. AT 17,000 MILES I HAVE JUST REPLACED MY REAR BRAKES. INFINITI OBVIO…

I FIRST REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS (WHICH WERE WARPED) ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE AT 14,000 MILES AFTER THEY HAD BEEN SQUEALING SINCE APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES. BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT I HAD TO ADD BRAKE FLUID, WHICH SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON A NEW CAR. AT 17,000 MILES I HAVE JUST REPLACED MY REAR BRAKES. INFINITI OBVIOUSLY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL BRAKE REPAIRS ARE FREE UNTIL 36,000 MILES. BUT WHAT ABOUT AFTER THAT AND WHY ARE THEY REPAIRING ONE DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART? I AM TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND ITS STOPPING CAPABILITIES. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND I FEEL SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE A CATASTROPHE OCCURS. *LA

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ONLY BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I PUT VERY MILEAGE ON MY CAR, I TRAVEL ALONE AT NIGHT/VERY EARLY MORNING. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM IN A DESERTED AREA AND MY BRAKES FAIL? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN EVERY 8.000 MILES AND I FIND THAT VERY UNREASONABLE. INFINITY SHOULD REPLACE THESE LIGHT BRAKES FOR A HEAVIER SYST…

I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SAME DEALER IN APRIL 2002 AND THE CAR WAS BUILT IN MARCH 2002. THE CAR PRESENTLY HAS 16K MILES ON IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS, EVEN WITH PERFORMANCE BRAKES, FOR THEM TO FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. INFINTI TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL.I HAVE A BMW 540 AND ITS DEFINETLY NOT NORMAL AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. INFINITI SHOULD REPPLAVE THE BRAKES AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR FREE.*AK

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FUEL FILLER HOSE MAY CRACK AND RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE HOSE WHILE REFUELING.
Consequence & remedy

Nov 17, 2003
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
Jun 2, 2003
ON CERTAIN SEDAN AND COUPE MODEL VEHICLES, THE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE BRAKE LAMPS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
Dec 12, 2002
CERTAIN SEDANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEADLAMPS, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A MEANS TO ADJUST THE HEADLAMPS. TAMPERPROOF CAPS TO PREVENT HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADLAMPS ARE THEN INSTALLED. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE MISSING THE TAMPERPROOF CAPS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE MISSING TAMPERPROOF CAPS ON THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
Sep 12, 2002
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FUEL HOSE CONNECTION FOR THE OUTLET OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ATTACHED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AND COULD COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE CONNECTION COMES LOOSE WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING DUE TO LACK OF FUEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO, IF THE CONNECTION COMES LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR ATTEMPTING TO START OR RESTART THE ENGINE, SOME FUEL WILL DISCHARGE FROM THE FUEL PUMP. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTERNAL IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, PROPERLY ATTACH THE FUEL HOSE TO THE FUEL PUMP. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN OCTOBER 7, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
