2004 Infiniti G35

THE DRIVER'S-SIDE SHOULDER HARNESS PORTION OF THE SEATBELT INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS IN POSITION, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH THE DASHBOARD, UNLESS THE DRIVER UNBUCKLES THEIR SEATBELT FIRST. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER, ORLANDO INFINITY, AND THEY SAID THE SEATBELT WAS OKAY. I HAVE HARDCOPY OF THEIR STATEMENTS. TWICE I HAVE NEARLY CRASHED, SECONDARY TO NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH THE DASH DURING ALL TOO TYPICAL ORLANDO DRIVING CONDITIONS. I QUESTION IF THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS INHERENT IN OTHER G35 COUPES (2004). PLEASE NOTE, THE INCIDENTS OF THE SEATBELT FREEZING IN A LOCKED POSITION ARE INTERMITTENT, SUCH THAT THE DATE BELOW REFLECTS WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR.*AK

TRANSMISSION MAKES CHATTERING NOISE AS THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN (ONLY ABLE TO HEAR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS WARMED UP AND ONLY ABLE TO HEAR IT FROM OUTSIDE OR WITH THE DOOR OPEN.). TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT THE CHATTERING NOISE STILL EXISTS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS INTERNALLY IN ALL 6 SPEED TRANNYS' AND THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE ATTENDED TO UNLESS MORE PEOPLE COMPLAIN. *JB

2004 WITH APPROX. 7,200 MILES. RATTLING NOISE HEARD IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. DEALER SAID IT NEEDED NEW TRANNY. REPLACED TRANNY. PICKED UP CAR AND WHILE DRIVING HOME, COULD NOT GET IT INTO 5TH OR 6TH GEAR. BACK TO DEALER. WAS TOLD THAT TRANNY WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. PICKED UP CAR AND WITHIN A WEEK HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE IN 5TH GEAR, VIBRATION IN STICK SHIFT AND A CLANKING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER CAR SITTING FOR A BIT. LATER FOUND OUT THAT DEALER LIED ABOUT INSTALLING THE 2ND TRANSMISSION. DEALER REFUSES TO TELL ME OR GIVE ME PAPER WORK STATING WHAT WAS DONE ON CAR THE 2ND TIME THEY HAD. INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND REGIONAL MANAGER HAVE NOT PROVEN TO BE OUT FOR CONSUMERS INTEREST. IN FACT, THEY CALL LYING ABOUT THE 2ND TRANNY A "MISTAKE". SOUNDS LIKE FRAUD TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THAT THEY DON'T REPAIR TRANNYS ...THEY ONLY REPLACE THEM. THEY ALSO GAVE ME A WORK ORDER/PAPERWORK STATING THAT NEW TRANNY WAS INSTALLED TWICE. *JB

THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT BUT A SERIOUS CONCERN. FRONT SEAT BELT CONNECTOR IS SO HIGH THAT THE SEAT BELTS REST AGAINST MY STOMACH INSTEAD ON ON MY LAP. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS INCASE OF A FRONTAL COLLISION. NOT ONLY WOOULD THE FORCE OF THE BELT BE AGAINST MY STOMACH, BUT IS SEEMS I COULD SLIP UNDER THE BELT AND POSSIBLEY HAVE HEAD OR NECK INJURIES FROM THE SHOULDER BELT. THE INFINITI SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THE DRIVER SIDE IS WORSE THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. *AK

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE 6MT WITH A PROBLEM WITH A FRONT WHEEL ROTOR. ONE OF THE EIGHT ROTOR SURFACES IS NOT WITH-IN SPEC AS WITH THE OTHER SEVEN SURFACES, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS PER INFINITI TECHS.I HAVE THE MODEL THAT UTILIZES BREMBO BRAKES AND THE TECH AND INFINITI USA SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE NON-BREMBO BRAKES AND THAT THE REPAIR WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR SITUATION.AS I MENTIONED BEFORE. ALL BUT ONE ROTOR SURFACE, AND ALL BRAKE PADS WERE UP TO SPEC. MY QUESTION IS THIS. IS THERE ANY ADDENDUM TO INCLUDE THE BREMBO BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE RECALL AND IF NOT IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD SUGGEST THAT I COULD DO? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK SINCERELY, DR. LESLIE KLEIN

I STOPPED MY MY 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO RETRIEVE AN ITEM LEFT ON THE GROUND NEXT TO MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WALKED AWAY FROM THE CAR, IT BEGAN ROLLING. THE CAR ROLLED OFF THE SIDE OF MY DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE WOODS, WHERE IT HIT A TREE, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE. INFINITI DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE, CLAIMING THAT THE BRAKE IS FUNCTIONING WITHIN FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THE FOLLOWING LINKS OFFER EVIDENCE THAT THE PARKING BRAKE ON THIS VEHICLE IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE AS DELIVERED: HTTP://FORUMS.FRESHALLOY.COM/UBBTHREADS/SHOWFLAT.PHP?CAT=&BOARD=UBB25&NUMBER=67788103&PAGE=0&VIEW=COLLAPSED&SB=5&O=&FPART=1 HTTP://FORUMS.FRESHALLOY.COM/UBBTHREADS/SHOWFLAT.PHP?CAT=&BOARD=UBB25&NUMBER=67563340&FORUM=UBB25&WORDS=PARKING%20BRAKE&MATCH=ENTIRE%20PHRASE&SEARCHPAGE=1&LIMIT=50&OLD=1YEAR&MAIN=67563171&SEARCH=TRUE HTTP://G35DRIVER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWFLAT.PHP?CAT=&BOARD=1&NUMBER=293656&PAGE=0&VIEW=COLLAPSED&SB=5&PART= NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THE CAR IS IN A BODY SHOP TO REPAIR THE FRON END DAMAGE INCURRED IN THE COLLISION WITH THE TREE.*AK

NEW 2004 INFINITY G35 COUPE PURCHASED 12/11/03 SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL 12/14/03 ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN LIGHT SNOW WAS FALLING AND STICKING TO ROAD SURFACE. THE TIRES SOLD WITH THE CAR WERE "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES WITH AN N/A TRACTION RATING ON THE SIDEWALL. THIS FACT WAS NOT MENTIONED BY THE DEALERSHIP NOR ON THE CAR WINDOW STICKER NOR IN THE BROCHURE THAT GIVES THE DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR. WHEN I MADE THIS PROBLEM KNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE INDIFFERENT. I HAVE JUST SPENT $1400 TO PURCHASE 4 WINTER PERFORMANCE TIRES FOR THIS CAR. THESE CARS ARE BEING SOLD IN WINTER MONTHS WITHOUT CONSUMERS BEING ABLE TO KNOW THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THEM IN WINTER CONDITIONS. *LA
