2005 Infiniti G35

1. ONE DAY JUST STOPS WORKING, OR INTERMITTENTLY FUNCTIONING. 2. 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, IT ETHER CAN BE TOTALLY DEAD OR INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT. 3. REPLACEMENT OF TOTALLY NEW LED STRIP , REPLACING IT WITH OEM WILL CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR WITH TIME. DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRONICS WHICH PREMATURELY FAIL IF YOU LOOK AT ANY 03/04 MODEL G35 THEIR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS MOST LIKELY OUT. 05/06 ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I MYSELF HAVE A 2005 G35 AND THE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY.

2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE IN MAY OF 2010 AN AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. DREYER REINBOLD INFINITI IN INDIANAPOLIS LOOKED AT IT, SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM FOR $3000. MY CAR AT THAT TIME HAD AROUND 87,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. BOTH AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER. THEN IN JUNE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND MY CAR STILL DOES NOT HAVE AIR BAGS WORKING. INFINITI OF NORTH AMERICA SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. OTHER THAN PAYING THEIR $3000 WHAT CAN I DO? DREYER REINBOLD HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN TO ME. THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP. *TR

I OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN WITH JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON THE OFF-RAMP OF A FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED - STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE SLIP LIGHT UNDER THE GEAR INDICATOR. I WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWN THE OFF-RAMP AND STOPPED ON THE STREET. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, AND AFTER ABOUT THE 5TH ATTEMPT, MY CAR STARTED. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL (NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH), AND I DROVE 1/2 MILE TO MY APPOINTMENT. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP AFTER MY APPOINTMENT. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, MY CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR AFTER THE 4TH OR 5TH ATTEMPT. THIS TIME, THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH (SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND SLIP) REMAINED ON. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAFELY WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE CRANK AND CAM POSITION SENSORS AS WELL AS THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY MAGNET. THE REPAIR COST WAS JUST UNDER $700 - NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE SEATS AUTOMATICALLY MOVE FORWARD ALL THE WAY TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS MOVEMENT IS TO HOLD ONTO THE SEAT CONTROL TO MOVE THE SEAT BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET. THE CAR WAS NOT BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER. 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE 6MT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO RIVERSIDE INFINITI (RIVERSIDE, CA) FOR THE SAME OCCURRENCE. THEIR CLAIM IS THEY HAD TO RESET THE CODES FOR WHICH I WAS CHARGED FOR. ONCE I DROVE IT OFF THEIR LOT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ONCE AGAIN CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY TO CALL THEM BACK. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK. I TURNED BACK AROUND AND PROCEEDED BACK TO THE INFINITI DEALER. ON MY WAY BACK TO THEM, I HIT A BIG PIECE OF WOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND DAMAGED THE ENTIRE RIGHT REAR OF MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THERE , THEY EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE FOR WHICH I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED WELL OVER $1,300. I REFUSED TO PAY THAT AMOUNT AND I TOLD THEM THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE COVERED WITHOUT ANY CHARGE. MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS AND I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO STADIUM NISSAN OF ORANGE (ORANGE, CA) WHERE THEY HAVE RESET THE CODES AND STILL THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. EVERYWHERE I TURN TO, EVERYONE WANTS TO TAKE EVERY LITTLE DIME FROM MY POCKET AT MY LIFE'S EXPENSE FOR NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME AROUND. NOW I HEAR ABOUT THE 2005 G35 SEDAN MODELS AIR BAG LIGHT BECOMING A PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD BLINK ALONG WITH ANOTHER LIGHT, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS OFF. THE INDICATORS WOULD ALERT THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF ALMOST $1,000.

I DID A OIL CHANGE ON MY CAR THIS DAY. I ALSO DID THE ONE PRIOR TO IT. I PUT 5 QUARTS IN, BUT ONLY DRAINED ABOUT 2-2 1/2 QTS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THEY NEED TO DO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND START THE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. THEY SAID THAT IF IT IS A PROBLEM, THEY WILL TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS AND POSSIBLY HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. *TR
