I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35, AND REPEATED HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR ENTERING THE PASSENGER CABIN THROUGH THE AIR DUCTS. INTERMITTENTLY THE AIR SMELLS "SMOKEY" AND AT TIMES THE AIR IS WARM REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPERATURE SETTING (WHEN IT IS BLOWING AIR, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING OFF). TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. DURING THE SAME PERIOD, THE CAR BURNED OIL (WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES). SINCE THEN THE DEALER SUGGESTED SWITCHING TO SYNTHETIC OIL AND THE CAR NO LONGER BURNS OIL, AND I VERY RARELY NOTICE SMOKEY AIR IN THE CABIN. *JB

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE AIR FROM THE VENTS IS HEATED NO MATTER WHAT THE DESIRED TEMP SETTING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT AT TIMES I SMELL FUMES COMING THROUGH THE VENTS EVEN WHEN I AM NOT IN TRAFFIC. I DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE WHERE THE AIR INTAKE IS DRAWN INTO THE CAR, AND TO MY SURPRISE, THE AIR IS BEING TAKEN THROUGH THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE MASTER CYLINDER COMPARTMENT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE AIR BEING FED TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD - WORSE FROM THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. IF YOU REMOVE THE BATTERY COVER AND LOOK BEHIND THE BATTERY, YOU WILL SEE THE INTAKE DUCT AND THE BLOWER. THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE.
HARD CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM INSIDE DASHBOARD AT START UP.
