Read complaints for INFINITI G35 (2003)
On my way home from work at approximately 10;30pm on a two lane highway i was the second person to hit a horse,. 17 hand horse lying in the road, a person headed north hit and tossed the deadhorse in my south lane. , . My car hit the horse, flipped several times then rolled down and embankment until the car came to a stop.........it dug into the dirt and grass until it came to a halt,. When the car stopped i was passenger side down, neither air bags deployed?.i have suffered the past two years, mentally, physically and financially. A horse owner isn't heldliable in the state of georgia. Doctor bills , stress and pain that might have been prevented if my air bugs had deployed, either one if them . I'm angry, in pain both physically and financiallyand, my family tells me i have aged 10 yearsi.need help understanding why neither the driver's or passenger's air bags deployed? why did my car fail so miserably. Surely infinity new they had problems with 2003 air bags by 2012 ?[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Lost control of car on ice going 55, car went airborne 70 feet came down hit a truck, car was totaled.passenger airbag went off but drivers did not deploy, suffered a concussion, hit head on steering wheel.
The airbag light has been on in my 2003 infinity g35 since the beginning of the year.i have recently taken the car to a reputable repair shop, and was not pleased to find that in this condition the airbag will not deploy.i have since found that there was a recall for airbag malfunctions in the 2005-2008 infinity g35's.the 2003 infinity g35's were not included, but yet there are other 2003 g35 owners that have had with similar problems.unfortunately, some of them were injured when the airbag did not deploy.
Our 2003 g-35 infinity was struck on the right front passenger side of the vehicle at or just behind the bumper.the air bag did not deploy.the car that struck our vehicle ran through a red light, did not slow on a road that had a speed limit of 35 mph (at least).the car was totaled.
The driver owned a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the driver was traveling at an unknown speed in rainy weather when the vehicle hydroplaned. As a result, the vehicle went airborne and crashed head first into the pavement. The front passenger side air bag deployed, but the front driver side air bag did not. The driver was taken to the hospital via ambulance for rib injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance lot. The insurance company stated to the contact that the front driver side air bag should have deployed upon impact. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and the current mileages were unknown.
The car won't back up when it's on reverse, sometimes it won't move at all even when it's on drive.
I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when i finished my transaction i tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move.i finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked.it has also happened to me when i have started my car and tried to put it in reverse.it is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my vin # in the recall but they haven't so far.even in the expanded recall.i don't know why.when does our safety become important?my stereo/cd player also stopped working and i had to replace that.what good does all of these repetitive complaints do if the auto companies aren't made to repair all of them?
Airbag light: the airbag warning light in the dashboard is flashing. The reason i am bringing this up is because the owner's manual from infiniti states that when the airbag warning light is flashing, it is possible that the airbags may not deploy if involved in a crash. I have searched on infiniti and g35 forums and this appears to be a common problem among owners. It also appears as though infiniti will not cover repairs even though this is a serious safety problem for owners of these vehicles. Luckily there has been no incident with my car yet and i intend to get it fixed so that i have my airbags operational in the event of a crash. I wanted to know what nhtsa recommends when i take my car into a an authorized infiniti/nissan service center? can i ask for the repair costs to be covered by infiniti/nissan since this appears to be a major safety issue rendering my vehicle unsafe to drive if left un-repaired.i have tried to do a soft reset of the system as described in a number of infiniti/nissan forums and while this initially helped about 12 to 18 months ago, the problem has resurfaced as flashing light has returned and the soft reset no longer works.links for forum threads describing other owners suffering from similar problem:https://g35driver.com/forums/northern-california/405188-blinking-air-bag-light-comes-out-nowhere-2.htmlother search results for the same that show this is a common problem:https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=xjzswomnbczcmwglh4sydq&q=g35+coupe+airbag+light+blinking&oq=g35+coupe+airba&gs_l=psy-ab.3.2.0l3j0i22i30k1l4.432.4782.0.6558.16.12.2.2.4.0.173.1294.6j6.12.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.16.1368...0i131k1.0.mf__lhvs1r4
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was unavailable.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact started the vehicle and the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and dealer and both confirmed that the front driver side air bag module would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. Updated 03/11/16*lj
Airbag warning light started flashing(red) for no reason while i was driving. Which means it is inactive.
My vehicle air bag light on. Stays on inspected at dealer. They statedair bag will not work during a possible accident, safety issue.
I was told that i needed a new air bag and a new module for the brake lamp located in the back window.there was no reason provided as to why these itemsbroke.i think theseweresafety defects.
My wife was driving her 2003 infinite g35 in traffic when events occured that caused her to crash into the back of a ford f350. She was wearing her seat belt but the drivers side airbag did not deploy. But the passager side airbag did. She sustained injuires to her head and chest. Car appears to be totaled, but is being accessed for amount of damages at this time.
The contact owns a 2003 infinit g35. After starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the air bag light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the air bag sensor was replaced. Three months later, the failure occurred again. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. The current mileage was approximately 104,000.
While driving 60 mph, the driver was hit from the side.the side air bags did not deployed.the driver sustained minor injuries.the vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection.
I was filling gas up suddently my car did not want to start. My check engine light soon when on. When i started driving my car was moving poorly. My engine light when on after. I when to autozone to check my code. They said it was due too camshaft senors.
The audio and temperature controls become inoperable because of a known issue with the audio finisher circuit board. My temperature was stuck at 90 degrees at maximum output, with no possible way to shut it off. There was a voluntary recall for 2003 g35 sedans with this issue (infiniti recall # p31040), but not for coupes. From online research, there appears to be numerous cases where the same issue has occurred on 2003 g35 coupes, but infiniti refuses to accept responsibility for repairs, because the vin #'s were not part of the original recall. I believe this is a safety defect that constitutes a recall for any g35 model with this known issue.
#rd brake light went out on my 2003 g35.
The audio and temperature controls do not operate as expected. When using the audio equipment or the temperature controls, the unit becomes inoperative.there is already a voluntary service campaign for this, however infiniti told me that our car's vin number does not qualify even though it's the exact same situation and identical year/make/model of car.
The contact owns a 2003 infinti g35. The contact was driving 45 mph when both the air conditioning unit and radio powering on and off intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified, but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 84,000.
No radio or heat controls.
My crank position sensor and cam position sensors keep failing causing the car to kill while driving and making it very hard to start.
2003 g-35, a/c and radio have gone out, many many others are experiencing this problem - safety hazard - defroster does not work, hundreds of postings by owners regarding linking of these two systems. There should be a recall on this. With the economy the way it is many owners do not have money to do this very expensive repair.
The radio,heater ,defroster ceased funtioning,first intermittent the stopped functioning entirely,it is a safety hazard az defroster cant work and windows frost up,temerature and function cant be changed and blower is set where it cant work.this is a safety hazard.
Car will not restart after only sitting less than 48 hours. Battery has been checked and not problem with alternator. Many reports on internet about similar complaints from infiniti g 35 2003 owners.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. The contact stated that the center console controls malfunctioned causing the air to blow continuously and also causing all of the electricalcomponents to malfunction. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the center console needed to be replaced.thedealer did not specify what's caused the center console to malfunction.the contact stated that this was a safety issue because the front and rear defroster does not work in cold weather which impaired the contacts vision.the vin was not available. The failure mileage was 80,000.
I bought this car used, should have checked this site first. I now have to replace my brakes once a year because they wear prematurely. That is a $1000 job. Only have has the car for 3 years. Last year in 09, the cd player stopped working with 6 cd's stuck in the changer, i had nationwide infinity look into this, when they said it would be $1400 to fix, but my year car has these problems. So i said forget it, i do not have this kind of money sitting around. Then couple months after that, the radio would shut off by it self a couple times a week and come right back on. Then just the other day, being june 5th 2010 my radio would not come on at all and i now have no control over my air condition. It is stuck on 70 full blast. Now wasting a ton of gas also. I called nationwide to make an appt, when i discussed the issue, the service advisor then said " let me guess, 2003 g35" i said oh, so you know this issue, he said yes we see it all the time, your looking at !600 to fix! i then call infinity headquarter to file a complaint to have them take care of the issue due to it being a known issue with no recall. Im a single mom, so not have this money laying around. I think its a huge safety issue due to me not having any control over the front or rear defrosters! i am contacting all local news stations to get some help!
Control panel totally inoperable. Ac blows at highest setting, unable to change any settings, unable to use defroster. Recall doesn't include my vin although it has the same problem as those recalled.
The climate control/ audio control unit in my g35 froze a few weeks ago making the system inoperable. As a result the the front and rear defrosters have become inoperable creating a dangerous driving condition specially in the rain. This is a common issue for all g35s made from 2003 -2005 and infiniti is very well aware of it. However they have done nothing to address it. Back in 2003 they have done a recall but only to a limited number of cars that had a particular part number. But the truth is every g35 with the oem unit is vulnerable to this issue. In ability to control the defrosters affects the visibility which may cause an accident that may result in injuries and or death.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash.infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition.infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem.infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.i have 2 other friends that are having the same problem with their 2003 g35 infiniti's, also not covered by the service bulletin. It is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
Vehicle was parked as i pressed the lock button on the control. Horn started honking and stayed on continuously i then opend the door put keys in ignition and turned it as if i was going to turn vehicle on and then car stoped honking i started the car on and horn noise stayed off i pressed the horn and it honked as normal but once i turned vehicle off i pressed the horn again to see if car would honk as normal and horn started honking again continuously stayed on until i again turned keys in ignition switch on and car stopped honking keeps doing this cant seem to find the problem
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, he was unable to access the central instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer stated that the failure was due to the audio finisher circuit board. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there was nothing they could do to assist. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 81,000.
The system controlling the ac and the radio completely stopped working and there is no longer any way to control it. All the power windows quit working as well. With so many reports would be nice if infiniti took some responsibility and addressed the issues.
2003 g35 sedan central console a/c, selected lights, and audio controls stopped working suddenly.cannot control heat/defrost/air conditioning. Caused windows to fog up quickly impairing visual field while driving on highway.this is very hazardous because of its unexpected and unpredictable onset.
My radio and dash goes out and my a/c comes on full blast with preset temperature and i can't do anything to turn it down or turn it off. Infiniti dealer said the radio control unit controls climate including a/c.dealer said a radio circuit board was malfunction or defect. Infiniti said there was no recall. I'm really scary to drive in winter when i need defrost on and need to control climate. I heard so many infiniti g35 owner has same problems.
The radio will stop operating and the air conditioner will blow at its highest level. You do not have any control over regulating the temperature or flow. Obviously, i'm not the only person to encounter this problem.
The radio system malfunctions on an intermittent basis due to cold solder joint on radio circuit board. Other engine functions and air conditioning controls are routed through the radio circuit board so when this fails, it presents a dangerous situation. When the radio system malfunctions, the air conditioner is set to maximum setting. Also in some cases, the malfunctioning radio results in battery drain. Infiniti previously issued a recall but the repaired radios also exhibit the same defect. I have contacted infiniti and they decline any responsibility. Local infiniti service manager states this is a well-known issue with infiniti radios. Would like nhtsa to compile statistics to determine if infiniti should implement an extended recall campaign.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. The contact had the circuit board replaced in 2003 according to a technical service bulletin due to multiple electrical failures.a few years after the repair, the defrost and radio also failed. She notified the dealer and was advised by a technician that she needed to replace the radio. No repairs were made because she suspects that the technicians have incorrectly identified the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 95,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving various speeds, the contacted noticed that the heater and radio would activate without assistance while in the off position. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they stated that the audio finisher circuit board would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
The climate control system stopped working, which includes the defroster. Luckily it occurred in the month of may and not in january when the snow flies, as it could have created a very serious safety issue due to the defroster not working. After looking on-line, this seems to be a very common issue to g35 owners and there are numerous blogs describing the same condition. It is due to an electrical failure within the controls for the radio & climate control systems. It appears the safety issue is being ignored, possibly because it's tied to the radio. If there haven't been any accidents/deaths attributed to this, it's probably only matter of time. Within the nhtsa complaints listing it has been reported numerous times. Please don't ignore it any longer. Imagine yourself on a trip cross county, in january, and the defroster stops working. You might have to continue driving just to get to a town. Or you might risk continuing your trip so as to get home to contact the dealership. I'm sure there are cases where people have done just that, risking the safety of themselves & others due to poor visibility. All because a car manufacturer won't stand behind their product and except responsibility. P.s. My vehicle has less than 69000 miles.
When i turned on the bose radio, the air conditioner went on full blast and the whole control panel went out. I was entering the freeway and this caused a dangerous situation(no speedometer, defroster, etc.).needless to say, without use of defroster, this situation can be fatal! i have read the edmunds forum regarding this issue(and also nhsta complaints) and this problem seems to be quite common. Apparently infiniti recalled some 2003 models(made before june 2002) but since mine was made in nov. 2002 it is not included. The fix i have read about costs $1500-$2000(and some of these have failed again with no more help from infiniti). Your help in getting every 2003 g-35 recalled and fixed permanently would be appreciated.
My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan has a malfunctioning 3rd brake light.the light has stopped working on my car a few months ago.when i informed the dealership, i was told that they could fix it for a fee.i have spoken with many owners of this car on forums and in person, and many complain of the same problem.the 3rd brake light works intermittently or not at all.i think this is a manufacturer defect but infiniti does not agree.my model does not have a spoiler.this is a safety issue and many owners i spoke with feel this is not something that they should pay for.
Electrical problem w 2003 infiniti g35. A/c turns(full blast) and radio turns on and can't turn off. Center consolecontrols inoperable, front and rear defrosters (safety hazard), radio and a/c. Kearny mesa infiniti, service advisor stated computer circuit board (ccb) was recalled and replaced, will cost $900+ to repair.

Been having problems lately with the engine light coming on and the slip and vdc light also
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 171,181.
While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions.on several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off.the "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared.i took it to my local infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened.the crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563.03, and infiniti says that without nhtsa telling them to pay for it, they refuse.this car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.
The electrical system that controls the ventilation system has failed.there was a recall on some 2003 g35 for the identical problem but this car was not included.there have been numerous reports of similar failures on similar cars for this year.infinity claims that the failures were limited to cars manufactured prior to this one.this car was built in september the recall was for cars built before that time.the failure is significant in that the defogging and defrosting systems do not operate.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the climate controls failed and visibility was reduced because the contact was unable to defrost the windows. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the electrical panel circuit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Electrical problems in 2003 infiniti g35 causes complete loss of climate controls including front and rear defrosters,audio controls also fail.infiniti issued a recall but onlyvehicles manufactured before 8/2002 were covered.my vehicle was built in 12/ 2002.
I have infiniti g35 and have had the same control problems with the radio/ac/defrost /fan controls. I know there was a recall in 2003 that was not mandatory but stated dealerships should replace these circuit board units as a safety concern and for the safety of their customers. The dealer ship..inskip- warwick ri - claims my car does not meet the problem and it is my radio that needs replacing for $900 even though my radio works through the steering column and i can control sound, modes and stations. How can it be that it is the radio and not the circuit board which they admit is an issue in other g35's. This is obviously a safety issue, infiniti has sent recall regarding this, the dealership admits there are problems with boards and yet they will not replace these units....i feel something needs to be done as it is impossible to control defrosting during the winter months. Will it take someone to be injured or killed to get some action.
Radio and heater not working.
The radio and a/c controls became inoperative on a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe.safety issue is the inability to use defroster or rear window defroster as necessary.a search of the web indicates that hundreds of people have the same problem.infiniti recalled some 2003 sedans for this very problem, but no coupes.the coupe uses the exact same system as the sedan in terms of radio and a/c controls.. This recall identifies a circuit board as the culprit, and the board was replaced free for some 2003 sedan owners.this is a real problem with potentially deadly consequences.
The charger port had some sort of malfunction and my car was burned to the frame. It was parked in my drive way and had been since 8:00 p.m police officers where coming in my front door at around 2:00 a.m. My car was engulfed in flames.
The contact owns a 2003 infinity g35. The contact was driving 55 mph when the defroster, air conditioner and radio failed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer but the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 140,000 and the current mileage was 151,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the climate control thermostat and radio failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the circuit board needed be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.
I have a 2003 infiniti g35 that i purchased new.the problem is as follows:initially a/c would increase power and then decrease for an instant, and radio lights would flicker. As time went on, a/c would be stuck at full power, and entire center console does not function, but after turning car off & then on, problem would disappear.problem became more and more frequent, until two months ago, when problem is permanent.i have no power in the center console, and the a/c blasts continuously.the center console controls include the front and rear window defogger controls, which are useless now.i recently had to drive in the rain; condensation from our breathing built up inside the windows, and i was forced to use a squeegee on the inside of the windshield to see outside.i couldn't see through my rear view mirror, since the rear window was completely fogged up and i couldn't reach it while driving.this loss of function for the a/c and radio controls is a very common complaint with the 2003 model, and even extends to later years.infiniti covers a limited number of vin; otherwise, you have to pay approx. $1400 to have the work done, and from what i've read online, the problem may reoccur even if you do pay them for the repairs.
The complete console lighting has gone out in my car. It only works when the exterior lights are off. Not able to drive at night and difficult to drive during daylight due to not being able to see the speedometer. Very much a safety issue.
My problem relates to nhtsa standard no. 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems". I have read complaints to nhtsa from many g35 owners, only a few stating the unsafe driving condition created when they cannot turn on the windshield defogger. I cannot operate the windshield defogger on my car and have experienced fogging while driving in rain. I do not understand why my car's problem has not been addressed/investigated; i see no action from nhtsa, yet there is currently a general motors recall addressing the same problem with some 2011 gm vehicle defogging systems, nhtsa campaign id 11v149000 same as general motors safety recall no. 11057. As most 2003 model g35 owners know, the g35 recall (service campaign itb03-007b) for the "audio finisher" addressed only vehicles manufactured before august 2002; mine was made 3 months later. The problem i'm having is likely caused by a different electronic component, but the end result is the same: no defog/defrost operability. Repair of the hvac/bose system at a local shop was quoted $250 minimum, an aftermarket stereo would require a special $200 dash kit in addition to the price a receiver, plus a special adapter to integrate the steering wheel control buttons. I called infiniti customer service to ask about a "good will program" for cars out of warranty, but that requires a dealership diagnostic, quoted at $140 with no guarantee they will replace the unit. The infiniti g35 is a car manufactured for sale in the continental us with this safety defect, and infiniti wants more of my money to fix it. Not fair.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan.the contact stated that the electrical system works intermittently, causing loss of defrost and air conditioning.due to the high humidity in his state, the contact was unable to defrost the rear glass due to the malfunction in the electrical system.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.he noticed several complaints on the internet regarding the same failure.the failure mileage was 132,000 and current mileage was 133,600.
The radio will turn off by itself and turn back on a few seconds later. All of the buttons in the center console become inoperable. The a/c controls also become inoperable and turns on by itself. It just doesn't turn on though, it turns on 90 degrees and starts blasting out. This is a safely issue because as a driver we never know when this air is just going to start blasting out at us like fire. If infiniti is smart enough to recall the sedan, they should do the same thing with the coupes. It is clearly a common problem among the '03-'04 models. If they want to keep their reputable name they will do what is right.
2003 infiniti g35.the radio, a/c, & heat controls go out due to a terrible mistake by the engineers in routing the radio and climate controls to one circuit board.living in the mid-west this is a huge issue because i cannot defrost my windows when it's snowing.infiniti issued a voluntary recall, but most likely missed around 90,000 cars.this is a large problem and they do nothing, it's a huge safety risk.
The entire console including defroster etc. Went out.this is a known problem and a voluntary recall was issued for sedans but not coupes.however, the coupe has the same problem.it is the finisher electrical card which failed and apparently has been failing consistently for this year and model.infiniti is forcing their customers to pay for this original flaw.otherwise you are stuck without any ability to alter the console settings including the ability to defrost/defog your windshield which creates a safety concern.i will no longer be in the market for a nissan product, along with my neighbors, friends and relatives that i have shared this with.
My entire center console gradually stopped working. The ac/climate control is always on full-blast (no way to adjust it or turn it off). The radio does not turn on or off. The garage controls are not functional. None of the lights appear on the dashboard. After speaking with two local dealerships and looking up information online, i discovered that this seems to be a very common problem with this year, make, and model. 9/10 times, the complication apparently goes away after replacing the audio unit. Estimated cost of parts/repair of the audio unit at the dealer is $800. If this doesn't work, i was told it's usually the circuit board, which also costs around $800.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the climate control feature on the vehicle was inoperable. The contact stated that due to the failure, the defroster was also inoperable. Holman infiniti located at 577 nj-38, maple shade township, nj 08052 was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.*dt
1. Intermittent no control of ac and radio.2. Non functioning stereo/radio and no control over ac3. None.
The ac/heat controller stopped working. The ac was stuck at full, at 60 degrees which created mist on all of the windows. I was not able to turn on the defroster which made my driving dangerous.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the radio failed and the air conditioning could not be turned off. The failure would not allow the contact to turn the heat on either. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was caused by the radio failing because the radio controller was connected to the heater and air conditioning. The failure and the current mileage was 136,000.
My slip light and vct light has came on in my 2003 infiniti g35 and also the ebrake light and non of them will go offf. I recently hydro planed in the rain due not being able to turn my traction control on abs did nothing to stop my car from loosing traction this would never of happened if my car did not have these problems. Further looking into it they have had made a tsb talking about how the abs and anti wheel lock may malfunction. I was in a 5 car pile up and almost died. If my traction control was able to be turned on witch it wouldn't let me i would not of hydro planed my whole back end just swung forward out of nowhere people though someone in my car pulled my ebrake the way the back end just swung forward. Both the slip light and the vct light remained on along with my ebrake light. I drive my car like a baby and to barley push the gas should not result in my back end swinging forward resulting in completely wrechingmy car along with 4 other drivers. I feel infiniti is definitely reliable and should of recalled these parts due to putting people in danger instead of making it atsb like its not a big deal. I am also not the only one iv found a few people that crashed there car due to rainy wether and the traction control not wanting to turn on. I was on the freeway doing about 60 to 65. If i new infiniti had so many problems i would not of purchased one 77 bulletins and after reading about all the problems the 2003 had and all the recalled parts i would not of purchased it and put my life at risk. I feel infiniti should be reliable it's commen sense to know that first hand not fixing those problems would lead to serious injuries and i'm not the only one. Let me know what you think i will be emailing infiniti to. It may not be a recalled part but it' put me and everyone else on the freeway at risk and totaled my car. Bellow is someone who also had the issue
While your driving you lose control of heating controls. It was raining and i had to defrost windows. Well it started heating the floor and i could not control where to direct heat. And note the radio doesn't work when it occurs as well.
I have lost control of the a/c and radio controls in my 2003 infiniti g35.i have been experiencing this problem on and off for the past 3 weeks. I did not realize that this was a major safety issue until last night when i was unable to turn on the front or rear window defrosters.i could barely see while driving on the freeway.i contacted infiniti and they told me that this problem was well known and that it would cost $1600 to fix!!they said that they had previously issued a recall for this problem but my car did not qualify.this is a safety issue and will become an even bigger issue in the winter months when you need the window defroster on a daily basis.
On my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe, the a/c started blowing on high no controls. The radio won't work.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the controls for the radio and air conditioner/heating system failed. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 105,000 and the current mileage was 115,000.
1) failure of the a/c and audio controller - audio circuit board issue2) driver power seat doesn't work - issue with track motors and trails3) cd changer stopped working with cd stuck in the player.
The a/c became stuck on automatic - blowing air, center console buttons stopped working including all heating/air conditioning/defrost buttons, as well as controls for the radio and cd player; the radio controls only worked thru steering controls. This was an intermittent problem for about a year, then the controls froze permanently, with no access to center console buttons to control heating, cooling, defrost, etc, with no access through the steering controls to radio. Eventually, the radio stopped working as well. Still no access to center console heating, cooling, and defrost controls. No way to defrost or defog windshields!
My car seat moved all the forward while driving to work in denver metro'bench and back support both pushed me a few inches from the steering wheel. I had to move my leg with my hand to reach the brake pedal. One week later, my car horn began beeping and would not stop while driving. My vdc and brake lights now stay on constantly because the anti skid does not work'i almost wrecked on a snowy highway. The front tires wear exponentially faster than the back tires. I had blowouts two separate times on the interstate. The front windows are now glued shut because they roll down on their own. The airbag light stays on now too. I realize it's an old car; i bought it for $8,000 4 years ago when it had ~95,000 miles. Now it has ~140,000. The level of quick decline is truly frightening though. I don't drive my 2003 infinit g35 any more and am apprehensive to sell it to anyone else. The car i loved is now like driving a horror movie.
Started car, radio would cut in & out , i lived with it , until in may 2014 the a/c & radio would cut in & out , sometimes if you restart it would fix the problem , todayit was 94 degrees out , the a/c after several tries would not work . Very frustrating!!
Infiniti g35 ac and audio panel not working, as thousands of others are experiencing.cannot drive the car in inclimate weather due to the inability to control the temperature or engage the defrost so i can see out the windows.very dangerous - threat to my safety as well as other drivers around me.it's the audio finisher circuit board that has failed.the dealer just wants to install a new radio.either of these repairs will be at my own expense.unable to get infiniti consumer affairs to assist in any way whatsoever.vin not covered under the voluntary recall campaign - falls just out of range.every one of these cars have the same faulty components.unclear why only a select few vins were recalled.thousands of us have complained.why is nothing done about this issue?
1) called the dealership and was told there is a technical bulletin on how to fix the problem but it wasn't a recall and will cost approx. $800 due to a malfunctioning of a circuit board.2) the climate control and radio are inoperable about every other time we start the car.this could be life threatening due to no defrost while driving will cause no visibility.3) i feel this should be a recall since there are many complaints with the year model 2003 infiniti g35 posted online with the same issue.infiniti knows about the flaw and even corrected it on their 2004 and later g35 models so what about the 2003 owners.
Intermittent loss of control of front window defogger, rear window defroster, radio, a/c.this happens randomly while driving causing loss of visibility in cold or rainy weather.this problem started happening on rare occasion but the frequency is getting progressively worse and now happens almost every time the vehicle is driven!
Cd player stopped working, unable to retrieve cd's, error message. Later radio and a/c controls went out. Check engine soon light came on and speedometer not working. Called infiniti in sarasota, was told to bring car in, i did. Happened again within a few months, was told by infiniti they could not find anything wrong, they reset sensor. A few months later, radio went out again, a/c at 60 degrees, cannot lower temperature, cannot turn on/off from dashboard; radio works from the steering wheel only. Problem caused battery to go dead, called aaa, was told something draining battery; told of electrical problems, advised electrical problem maybe the reason. Once battery purchased, advised again battery may go out due to electrical problem draining battery. Went online, found numerous complaints. Called infiniti again, told my vin # may not be listed. Cost approximately $1,200.00 or more to fix this problem. Called infiniti/nissan corporate office, told my vin number not on recall list. Informed them of problem, purchase of new battery due to electrical problem, and what may happen again regarding new battery. Rep advised nothing they can do.told i can pay, and if a recall later with my vin number , i can be reimbursed with proof of repair with infiniti.as of this writing, i am still unable to turn on/off defrost, heater, a/c, cd player, cassette player, or radio; none of the controls on dashboard are operable. This is dangerous in so many ways in terms of road safety; defrost not working (unable to defrost windows for vision while driving); draining battery; hazardous due temperature controls that can cause a person to freeze while in my car, and a financial hardship.i pray an investigation initiated due to electrical problems by manufacturer, not caused by the consumer; that the resolution is fair and just for all, and not just by selected vin numbers only.
The contact owns a 2003 infinti g35. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while traveling various speeds and the check engine, brake, and vdc off warning indicators illuminated. The infiniti of norwood dealer (866 providence hwy, norwood, ma) was contacted and diagnosed that the camshaft assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
Electrical issues auto a/c stays on none of the console buttons work. Stereo doesn't work 3rd brake light went out. Bose sound is not working. I have not got t fixed it yet.
Radio, cd, and a/c control console do not work. Also the dashboard cracked. I called infiniti and i was told no recall had been issue. I'm extremely disappointed by this brand. I will take my business to honda who make better quality cars.
Electrical control panel failures caused total lost control of air condition and audio system. It is very dangerous to drive at night or bad weather due to front and rear defrosters are not operational. Until fatalities occurred and reported, car is highly recommended not operated at night or under bad weather. This problem is known as common problem with thousands of first model of g35. Unfortunately, infiniti will not take responsibility for it but willing to fix for high cost. Owners takes their own safety risks if cannot afford to pay the high cost of replacement from infiniti dealers. Also, there is a risk if owners try to replace the circuit by buying and installing cheaper aftermarket panel from any car radio/repair shop.infiniti should think about safety of their customers and their reputation.
The defroster, ac/heating system, radio, and selected lights on the dashboard fail randomly, causing the windows to fog in certain weather conditions, making it quite hazardous to drive.the system will automatically turn on, then the fan cycles to higher speeds about every 20 seconds. The heating/air system will become completely uncontrollable, rendering all defrost controls inoperable.during this time, the radio display turns itself off, and all controls on the face of the unit are disabled.the stereo can still be controlled by the steering wheel controls.all button lights remain off, while the center display, located just below the windshield, remains on.there has been a recall for the sedan version of this year/model vehicle for the same issue.the following is the service campaign number for the sedan recall:itb03-007.
The ac and radio controls basically none of the dashboard controls are working including defroster which is big safety hazard and as per infiniti dealership its a radio and circuitboard issues. After looking at internet i have found that there was a recall campaign (voluntary service campaign 2003 infiniti g35 sedan; audio finisher circuit board) for this issues ->itb03-007b service campaign -> issue description listed below available on the internet. But infiniti dealer is not accepting any recall on this ground and they are asking for 1300+ bucks to fix this issue. Can someone please help as i can live without ac and climate controls but not without defroster. Also its a trouble that ac auto turns on at full blown speed which cause too much cold in winter and its a health risk for myself and family including 2 kids.description from internet - on some model year 2003 g35 sedans manufactured through august 21, 2002, the audio and temperature controls may not operate as expected. When using the audio equipment or the temperature controls, the unit may become inoperative. In some cases, this can be corrected by turning the ignition switch off and back on again. In other cases, the unit remains inoperative and requires service by an infiniti technician. To prevent this condition, infiniti has initiated a voluntary service campaign to replace the audio finisher circuit board on these vehicles. Use infiniti net to confirm if a specific vehicle is affected by this service campaign (p3104).
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. Upon starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the air conditioning system and radio failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000. Updated 09/21/15*lj
I just bought a used 2003 infiniti g35 a few months ago. I believe i am the fourth owner. It has run immaculate until the last couple weeks. For some reason the air conditioning system takes itself into auto mode and the radio lights go out, along with the rest of the lights on the panel that control the ac functions.i cannot use any of those buttons to change anything.the radio continues to work and i can still use the steering wheel controls to adjust the radio, but i can no longer see the lights that tell what station it's on nor adjust anything from the panel. The ac goes out of manual mode into auto mode, which if i understand it correctly, auto is a normal function, adjusting itself to maintain whatever temperature you have it set at, but the fact that i cannot change it back to manual mode, nor anything else on my own after it goes in that mode, and turns out the panel lights, makes me think this is not right.thank god it is defaulting to on as it is summertime and over 90 degrees outside, but still gets very cold and is loud at full blast.however, if this were winter months, this would be a safety issue as there would be no way to defrost my windows and obviously cause serious discomfort in having freezing cold air blow on you in the middle of winter.i have seen several other complaints/technical services bulletins about this on mycarstats.com and wonder if there is already a recall on this.some folks have stated something about a voluntary recall relating to the circuit board... Others have stated a voluntary recall for the equipment relating to this but only included the recall on certain vin numbers.i haven't yet called the manufacturer, which i will do, but am hoping that this is covered by the manufacturer as in my opinion it is a safety concern and has been complained about by several infiniti owners.
The car was bought without the knowledge that the cd player would not eject or take any cd's; this information was not divulged by the seller, bob moore motors of oklahoma city, ok.after having the car for a little over a month, the entire center console (ac controls and radio controls) became unresponsive.the car now emits 90 air on auto ac, forcing me to drive with my window down at all times.in addition, i am unable to turn on the radio or tape player with either the center console buttons or those on the steering wheel.the radio is a raw deal but not my biggest concern.i live in kansas and when it is not very hot (not looking forward to seeing what 90 auto ac feels like in the summer) it is very windy and it makes it difficult to drive with the constant wind noise.i am nervous to drive the car altogether because i do not trust the entire electrical system anymore and am afraid i will get stuck somewhere.
I recently got a used car from my friend, but the climate control doesn't work on the car. The problem has been a long time, but i noticed this after getting this car to me from my friend, but she said she has had this problem for long time. The specific problem is that the audio panel doesn't work, the climate panel is with the audio panel, so the climate control does not work at all. So i cannot control my climate in my car, so the front and rear window defroster all the time, it is really hard to drive. When i checked this problem with dealer and on the web, it is really,,common problem in this year and this kind of car, but the company doesn't have recall for this problem, so the dealer said it costs more than $1,000 to change the panel and to fix all problem. This doesn't make sense at all. Please check this problem, and correct this,thankyou for reading my concern,
I've recently been having issue with the engine where the car stalls. The car start fine when i do a cold start but when the car warms up the car stalls at times. I've been hearing a lot of the stories from other people on different forums where this is a common issue for this model. The culprit are either the throttle body which i had already replace three years back, the 2 cam position sensors and crank position sensor. I recently found out that there is a recall on the cam position sensors and crank position sensor. I'm hoping thatmy vin# is part of that recall. The second issue i have been having with this car is the radio and temperature control. That i recently had changed with the factory radio attached to the temperature control. The radio would stop working. I have no control over the temperature control and the ac unit would turn on by it self. I recently just installed an after market radio. With everything after buying what was required to do a double din conversion and installation. It cost me a good amount of money. Another issue this car has is the seat belt issue. It doesn't retract properly and the passenger side it's a chore just trying to put on the seat belt.
Our 2003 infiniti g35 sedan's a/c will not turn off. When we turn on the car, the a/c will start and the control console will not allow us to adjust the temperature. The whole control console is off, we can't even turn on the radio. We took the car back to the infiniti dealership and they were going to charge us $135 to take a look at it. I feel like it is a rip off. I check online and many other infiniti owners with similar models have the same exact problems. This is not a coincident but a wide spread defect that infiniti is not willing to fix. Please help!!!
Just recently while i was driving my radio and a/c unit on the dashboard blanked out and stopped working.right after about a minute later the a/c came on full blast with the temperature at 68 along with the radio playing.at that time i was only able to operate theradio from the steering while. This makes me really nervous because i will soon need to use my defroster due to the climate change, i wont be able to see which could cause a serious accident. After researching and finding out this is a common problem with the 03 g35 infiniti sedan, i called the dealer only to find out my car wasn't on the recall list. I don't understand why my car is not covered since it is the exact same model and experiencing the exact same problem. Please help with this issue.
During 2 rain events, the horns began to blow and continued to blow until the burned out.if this were to happen while the driver was not present, driver would have no way of knowing if the horns were working until they were required.other cases of this have been documented on g35driver.com.i am the first owned of the car and it has been garaged for all of its life.both times it happened after driving the car and then parking it.
Dash panel that controls the stereo, cd, heater, ac, etc does not function properly. The ac does not shut off, whereas all the other devices does not turn on.
The problem is as follows:a/c will be stuck at full power, and entire center console does not function, but after turning car off & then on, problem would disappear. I have no power in the center console, and the a/c blasts continuously. The center console controls include the front and rear window defogger controls, which are useless now.
Driver side window motor failed. Window is stuck in up position. This is a safely hazard as occupant cannot use window as an exit from the automobile.
Had my car in a nissan dealership for diagnostic for ac problems and was told that my 3rd rear brake light was also out.i was not even aware of this.then i was told that i could not just replace the bulb, that i would have to buy a complete assembly unit for that and it would run me $287.00 plus tax!!!!!every time i turn around something is costing me several hundred dollars.this is a safety issue.i just put out over $700.00 for the a/c, radio finisher circuit board, also not on a recall!
I can no longer control the a/c or defrost of my car, which impairs my ability to see out my windshields.all the buttons in the center console are inoperable because of a circuit board malfunction.since i cannot control the defrost, i cannot pass the state safety inspection.dealer says it will cost between $1300-2000 to fix.there was a recall on my car in 2003 and infiniti says they replaced the part in my car so this fix would be at my own expense.this is not a common problem in cars under 100k miles -- only in this make/model.online discussion boards are full of 2003/2004 g35 owners with the same problem.this is an absolute safety hazard, especially for those who can't afford to pay $2k to fix a circuit board problem.
The auto a/c pops on all by itself, disabling the entire dashboard controls. The radio lights and buttons no longer work, the fan or temperature cannot be adjusted, and the defrosters cannot be used. The dealership concluded that the entire radio needs to be replaced, a problem that is so common on these cars that the rebuilt radio part to fix it is often backordered. Once again it appears that good 'ol infiniti/nissan has issued an inferior tsb for the problem that does not include the scope of vins affected by this problem. So if you don't die from your defective crank shaft sensor stalling you out at 65mph, be sure to watch out from crashing from the fog on your windshield because your defroster won't work.
Electrical issues auto a/c stays on none of the console buttons work. Stereo doesn't work 3rd brake light went out. Bose sound is not working. I have not got t fixed it yet.
My ac/radio would turn off and on by itself. I would have no control over the heat/ac temperature in my car nor the fan levels.sometimes when this problem was occurring, i could control the radio with the steering wheel controls. This started in the fall of 08'. As time went on the problem became more frequent and would only be corrected if i turned the car off then on again. Since early fall 09' i no longer have any control over the ac/radio at all. My ac unit has been stuck at 75 degrees and continuously blows air, at different levels. Sometimes it's at high and i have to open a window to bring cool air in and sometimes it runs at a low fan speed. Last summer it was not that bad because the problem was not permanent problem at that point, it was just more of an annoyance. This year i fear that i could be in trouble due to the temperature being stuck at 75 degrees and the hot temperatures here in phoenix, my fear is that i will experience heat exhaustion as i am driving and possibly become ill or pass out while driving.
While driving my car the radio completly cut off and the air conditioning came on at full blast... I cannnot control anything on the dash such as climate defrosted or turning the darn thing off. It is a safety concern because it was raining and my window were all fogged up and i couldnt clear them. I could not see out of my front or back windows. I have read many complaints online about the samethingsome will be hurt if infiniti doesnt do anything to resolve this. I have no clue to why they havent recalled or recalled only a few of this car to fix the problem.it seems to be the norm. If you call the dealearship they will only charge you a mint to replace the part that will only break again. Please help before someone is hurt or killed.
Infiniti has completely left behind owners of the 2003 g35.they had a voluntary service campaign to fix the 'audio finisher' but all they did was put a band-aid on the problem.they only fix the problem once, then the problem continues to happen about once a year.they obviously did not set up the radio/ac controls properly when they originally made the car, which is exactly why you won't see this problem with the 2004 model.now all they say is that it's my problem to get it fixed.this is a severe safety issue for some people, because we cannot use the defrost.infiniti tries to charge about $1000 each time this problem recurs.it is ridiculous and sad to think that they expect us to pay this fee about once each year while we own this car.i would not be surprised if someone has already died from a car accident because they could not turn on their defrost in adverse weather conditions.
As i was traveling down the road, my a/c turned on by itself and my radio display went away. I was unable to turn off my a/c or control my radio. None of the buttons on the center console worked.
Nissan campaign id p3104, ref itb03-007 describes exact problem.the vin number of our car is within range of campaign listed vin #'s but nissan insisted today thatour car was not covered by campaign.heat/air temperature controls and radio do not operate. Problem has occurred over past several years intermittently, but now will not function at all.nissan is refusing to honor their own campaign by saying our vin # was not covered by campaign even though it is in the range of vin #'s listed in the campaign.
Window motor.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash. Infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition. Infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem. Infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.it is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
There is a defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 coupe models. The radio and climate control looses control and all indicator lights. The dash has no function as if there is no power, but does continue to function.the "auto/ac" indicator appears on the console letting you know that the car has taken the controls away from you. The a/c closes the vents toonly circulate cold air on it's last setting. With all functions turned off, the dash turns itself on to the same setting without any manual operations. The radio volume nor channels cannot be changed (other than from the steering-wheel) and the air conditioning is stuck on the last setting and cannot be changed without turning the car off. Is this caused by a defective control board?the local dealership claims they've never heard of this happening.also the car tends to lock on its own.standing outside to get gas and you hear the doors lock, sometimes before you can walk around the car to the gas pump.
My infiniti car's(g35 2003) radio/ac controls have failed. I can onlyoperate the radio from my steering wheel control.( cannot operate the ac/heater. Luckily it is winter time andis stuck in auto mode at 68 f) it seems that infiniti had a recall for audio controller card failure in 2003 -itb03-007b service campaign -voluntary service campaign 2003 infiniti g35 sedan; audio finisher circuit board for about 26 000 vehicles, but, based on no of complaints floating on the web, there are lot more cars which are facing this problem. Prior to this problem i have had the cd error fo problem ( complete cd failure). Infiniti has installed faulty radio/cd system and they have taken their customers for a big ride! the nhtsa should take this up seriously asthis failure could potentially can be fatal , especially when driving in extreme conditions-hot or cold weather , with small kids/infants, in an isolated region.
2003 infiniti g-35 blown up in driveway and house caught fire.the fire department determined the fire originated inside of the trunk where the trunk light bulb became so hot that the light bulb exploded, the hot particles from the light bulb caught the trunk and the contents in the trunk on fire. The consumer stated she forgot to close the trunk securely.before the fire, the consumer stated she had electrical problems with the window and sunroof.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the a/c audio circuit board failed and the defroster, air conditioning and heater were inoperable. The instrument panel lights would also fail once the failure occurred. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer and they advised him that the a/c circuit board would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 56,800. The vin was unavailable.
We purchased our son an infiniti g35 coupe for graduation.we were very pleased with our purchaseand to see his eyes light up was priceless.after a week or two of having the car, the radio stopped and the entire electric console shut down except for the air, which is on full blast with no option to turn it down or off. My husband spoke to one of the infiniti dealers who told him that there was a recall on that model for the four doors only and the sedan would be almost $2000 to repair. I called corporate and explained the situation and though they are aware of the issue through numerous complaints, they are basically not willing to do anything for the g35 coupes. I spoke with kelly with consumers affairs and asked what we were supposed to do since this is a hazard for our son and she said, "well that would be at your discretion to let him drive." can you believe this? she said take the car to our nearest infiniti dealership and pay for a "diagnosis test" and then call them back, but, since this is out of warranty there is probably nothing we will do....how can they refuse to deal with a major problem like this and then try to stick the repair cost to us?? this is a safety hazard as the air cannot be turned down or off and is constantly blowing into the drivers eyes which impedes their vision. It also affects the defrost and heat which is inoperable. The entire console is out!!!
Audio "finisher" board shorts out, the radio is compromised but the safety issue is that the heater controls switch to high, and on floor heater vents. There is no longer a defroster and the controls are inoperable. Infinity in the past issued the following: 2003 g35 sedan audio finisher circuit board voluntary service campaign.
I own a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan v6beginning in june 2009 my radio would randomly turn off and my ac would kick on full blast.in july it got worse and ultimately i lost all controls of radio and air controls including the defroster.major problem here is i have no control of a/c which runs my gas down and no control of the defroster which is a major problem while driving due to the cold a moist months.i can't afford the cost of fixing the radio. Apparently the reason for this issue is a faulty radio. I don't understand if my radio dies why should my defroster not be accessible.
Intermittently, the electrical panel that controls the a/c, radio fail to operate. None of the buttons in the control panel work, all lights are out.it has gotten progressively worse, to where it turns offs just seconds after starting the car. Cannot control defrosters. Huge safety issue. The a/c resets at 71 degrees with fan blasting.

The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. The contact stated that the radio would fail intermittently and was draining the battery constantly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed for the failure nor repaired. There were no recalls for the failure. The manufacturer was notified who offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 195,000.
The radio on my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe started going out shortly after i bought it (used). Some day it would go out several times while driving. Other days it would not go out at all. Now the led display for the radio and the ability to control a/c, heat, defog, rear defrost, and stereo on the center dash is intermittently going out. I still maintain the functionality in the steering wheel for the stereo control, however, i simply can't see what station or track i am on. This issue is extremely dangerous, especially during the winter when defrost/defog are crucial. Nissan has issued a recall, but only for the sedans, not for the coupes. I don't understand how they can do this!!! as a company i would not want the death of someone on my conscience due to my lack of integrity to stand behind my product. I am begging for your assistance on this because i cannot afford to fix this problem as the dealer is charging $500.00 for a temporary fix. They are offering no support.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the complete middle console on near the instrument panel failed without warning. The contact also mentioned that the defroster failed to function. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the center console needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
While driving my 2003 infiniti g35in the highway the radio made a click and remained silent followed by the ac automatically coming on at full power. The dash controls can no longer be accessed . At the time it is bothersome but in certain situations the car is at danger. If this was winter everything would have fogged up and wouldn'thave been able to use the defroster . I have researched this problem and there other owners with the same problem .this problem is electricaland is very dangerous when taking it into context. There was a voluntary service campaign for the audio finisher circuit board but it only included 23600 cars. Infiniti should be responsible for this and cover the cost.
Driving hazard b/c of not being able to control the climate, particularly the front and rear window defrosters.
Failure of heat,air & radio controls 2003 infiniti g35. Recall for2003 model same failure as the recall but per infiniti this car is not covered by recall.car taken to kearny mesa infiniti they found the circuit board failed. I the vin # should be expanded to included all 2003 g35 as they have the same circuit board.
Third high mount brake light is intermittent possibly creating confusion to driver behind me.this has been an on going problem and has been reported by multiple drivers on g35driver.com.this happens whether stationary or driving.at times it may appear dull.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving approximately 30 mph, the engine shut off without warning. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and was restarted. The dealer was contacted (jim lupient infiniti, 7200 wayzata blvd,burnsville, mn, 763-546-5577) and stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infinti g35.while driving approximately 40 mph on normal road conditions; the control selector mode for the radio was engaged and suddenly caused the defrost and the heating system to malfunction. The failures occurred intermittently which became worse over a period of time and occurred continuously. The vehicle has not been repaired.the contact had concerns of the safety risk involved.the failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 80,000. Updated 10/13/09. *ljthe consumer stated the climate control button is stuck in the ac-on position.the climate control buttons to change to heat, to set temperature and operate the defroster do not work and the radio does not work.

There is a known issue with the rear window brake light of the infiniti g35.in 90% of 2003-2004 cars, this issue is known to occur.a non-functioning brake light is a serious safety issue.infiniti has yet to issue a recall.later model years do not suffer as much from this issue.to make things worse, this is not a simple bulb replacement.the g35 has a fancy and expensive led system.a specific diode is known to go bad, which makes this more of a electrical system failure.
Buttons of a/c and infotainment control panel (audio board) in center console does not work. Also there is no display of infotainment system. Illumination still works and dimming as well, radio control via steering wheel switches still work. Due to a/c can not be changed or controlled, front defroster or rear defroster will not turn on. Nissan/infiniti dealership noted "replaced audio board per service bulletin. Radio did work but then stopped. Replacement of audio board is 1st step, if problem continues audio unit must be replaced." they replaced "audio board" to correct the issue as service bulletin recommended but it did not correct the issue. Reman-audio unit costs $1997 at dealership.
I lose complete control of my climate control which results in my a/c being stuck on. My radio controls are also gone. The whole center dash is in complete electrical failure. This is a hazard due to windows fogging up while driving. Also i've researched that there are recalls only for sedans, i don't understand this because the same parts are in the coupes.
Electrical. Radio shuts andit controls all of the interior controls.
Im currently having trouble with my center console losing power to my ac and radio.the problems range from center console display shortages, ac blasting at full strength and being unable to change the setting, to the radio intermittently putting out sound. This problem has led to safety issues with the car in that the inability to control the ac results in fogged over windshields leading to poor visibility.i've read online that this problem affects many owners of the same car. It was such a problem that infiniti recalled the '03 g35 sedan for the exact same problems.it is embarrassing that inifiniti does not stand by their product across the board. If they acknowledged that it was a problem in the sedan why are they not responsible for fixing the same problem in the two door model.would like to know how this problem may be remedied.
Customer states that the dash panel that controls the stereo , cd, heater, ac ect does not function properly**cc
The ac unit/radio are not in working order. The ac is stuck on at 74 and ranges from blowing air full blast to the lowest setting very sporadically. There is no power to the radio and either of the two can be turned on or off up or down. This is a big inconvenience since we live where it is very hot! also worried that with it being an electrical issue a fire could arise! not very impressed for driving an infiniti and thought they lived up to a better reputation.
The radio will not come on. Cannot operate ac or heater. No defrost. Cannot operate from steering wheel. Stereo cd player not working.
2003 infiniti g35 coupe 3rd brake light is out (inside glass).this is a common issue with the g35.it needs to be brought to nissan of america's attention.this could possibly cause an accident.i have seen that 28 people have filed a complaint to you on my car forum.but i feel that this issue needs to be addressed asap.if it were just one car with the issue then i would gladly pay for it, but since this is a common issue, nissan of america needs to fix this as it was a production issue.
1.squeeks from passenger side door with music loud.2.did not have ash tray when car bought.coins have fallen in and now cant close ash tray.3.the paint on the bumper clearly does not match trunk.possibly in accident, even though car had 10 miles on it when bought.4.the cd changer takes 9 seconds to change cd?5.the headlight sensor turns on headlights when passing under short bridge-to sensitive.6.documentation does not explain what the auto volume does.had to learn by trial and error.7.several squeeks and rattles.only 8000 miles and it sounds like 60,000 miles with all the squeeks and rattles.8.cant turn off the traction control, sometimes you want to have fun or need to get out of snowy terrain.9.heated seats only have 2 settings, to hot and ok during cool weather.10.gas mileage is not what is reported!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have never gotton better then 19 mpg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sometimes as low at 12 mpg.11.rear defroster takes forever to even get fog off the glass, let alone snow.12.brakes are squeeking.why, the car is brand new.13.front seat is not as comfortable as i would expect for a car of this price.14.need a volume control that is round, so you can adjust quickly in the event of an emergency, ie; do i hear sirens?
Dash panel that controled the stereo, cd, heater, ac, etc does not function properly. The a/c does not shut off, whereas all the other devices do not turn on.
This vehicle's radio and temperature controls do not work! i can't believe the number of complaints about this issue. I've talked to knowledgeable people about this and all have said that this issue is a bad/defective board. I will never purchase a nissan or infiniti product again!
The display on my radio started to go out and made it so i had no control over the radio and the ac/heater. It went off and on randomly for the past year, now my radio is completely dead and still have no control over my a/c controls so it blows at my feet. Now that temp. Outside is getting into the 30's, and i need my defrost to be able to see through my windshield but can't control it...
While driving the vehicle stopped running no brakes steering or warning when i called nissan they told my car was not included in a recall of this part this is a real danger and should be addressed i ended up fixing this at my own expense.
I presently own a 2003 infinit g35.the entire climate control functions and dash lights do not function because of a problem with the radio. A recall was initiated for the "audio finisher circuit board" by infiniti but the problem still exists.these items will suddenly stop working while driving the vehicle.this happened to me while driving. These items do not function at present. An infiniti dealer infomred of the recall and also infomred me that my vehicle had already had the circuit board replaced and that the only other problem that would cause this would be the radio. I was also infomred that this is a common problem with this model infiniti and infiniti will not take responsibilty for this problem or the repairs. Repairs cost from $600 to $1250. That price quote was stated to by infiniti. Just a note, all equipment i am referrring to is factory installed. No aftermarket equipment has been installed.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. While driving 40 mph, the contact attempted to turn on the rear defroster but it would not turn on. He was also unable to change any of the climate control or radio settings. After three days, he was able to change the radio and climate control settings. The failure continued intermittently and the contact called an authorized dealer; he was informed that the failure was within the audio finisher circuit board. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000 and the current mileage was approximately 88,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. The contact statedwhile driving at 65 mph, the air conditioner fan independently activated and caused all the windows to become foggy. The contact moved off the roadway and opened all windows to clear the condensation. The dealer advised that the radio and air conditioner circuit malfunctioned which caused the fan to activate and fog the windows. The dealer advised the failure was not a safety issue and the manufacturer would not be responsible for the repairs. The contact stated the failure was very dangerous while driving on the highway and could potentially cause a crash. The failure mileage was 32,400.
1) no specific event - one day stopped working.2)climate control panel failed in ac "on" mode at 66'f.cannot turn off.cannot access defrost/rear defogger buttons. Creates unsafe vehicle as lack of defrost/defogger prevents driver from seeing clearly in certain weather conditions.3) told by infinity consumer affairs that sedan vin does not fall into range of existing recall for ac/auto circuit board by nissan (infiniti). Requires consumer paid diagnostic to determine what failure mode is causing problem.
First defect:when i would start my car the lights would go out and the radio, heating and cooling buttons. The fan would come onto high and switch to airconditioning. I could not turn it down or turn it off or turn on my defroster when it was 30 degrees in the morning which made my visibility very poor. The only way to get this to stop was to pull the fuses.we check the recall history and found that it was only a courtesy recall and wouldn't be covered even after reading that hundreds of g35 owners were all having the same problem.we had to have the radio electronics removed from the car and sent out to be fixed.i think this issue would be consisted a safety issue when you don't have heat or a defroster.second defect: the problem started while the car was idling and it would stall. Then 3 days later while driving at 50mph the car tried to stall and it lost all power and then the dash lights came on indicating service needed. The car seem to lack power. Did a recall check and found that all the conditions pointed to the cam shaft position censor failing.we checked the vin# and of course my car isn't one that is on their recall list for the same problem they have on other g35 models.this could be a serious safety issue causing an accident when you stall and have no control of your vehicle going down the highway.every issue i have had with my car has been on the companies recall list but not my vin # for some reason. This issue to need to reviewed and corrected.third defect: we have had to have the motor replaced twice in the drivers door that operates the electric window. Now the right door window is not working. If it does open it will get stuck and we have trouble getting it to come up. We have to keep it locked to avoid it being opened.
Was driving my car and the ac and stereo button lights went out, the ac was then stuck on full blast at 70 degrees and could not be shut off or changed and the stereo was inoperable as well.
Controls on console for heating/air/defroster and radio failed & remain inoperable.heat/air are locked on at 75 degrees & cannot be adjusted.cannot turn on defroster. As a consequence car is unsafe to drive when defroster is necessary.numerous similar complaints have already been reported to nhtsa and are on this site.in feb 2003 infiniti did a voluntary service campaign to replace a circuit board regarding this problem for early 2003 vehicles, but my vehicle and untold others were not covered as vin was subsequent to cars covered by recall.infiniti needs to address this safety issue and be subject to a recall to replace all defective circuit boards.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. The contact stated that the electronic console unit failed. As a result, the radio and air conditioning unit would not function. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the entire electronic console unit needed to be replaced. There were no recalls addressing this failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 129,000. The vin was unknown.
Vehicle momentarily lost power and dash instrument lights went on (slip, vdc off, service engine soon).the ipdm (intelligent power distribution module) was replaced by the dealer in december 2011 for the same problems.my research revealed that this is a common problem with this model and year.separately, high mount rear stop light no longer works.research indicates this is also a common problem.
No specific event. Climate control panel failed in ac "on" mode at 70'f. Cannot turn off. Cannot access defrost/rear defogger buttons. Creates unsafe vehicle as lack of defrost/defogger prevents driver from seeing clearly in certain weather conditions. No radio controls. Understand a common problem.
Center console control buttons do not operate.can't operate defroster and can't see out front windshield.
In my 2003 inifiniti g35 sedan my entire center console isnt working. Ac/heat and radio. For the first couple months it would turn on and off and then about nov of 2010 everything stopped working. It would snow and i had no defrost or heat. Still till this day nothing is working.
Front and rear defogger do not work because of loss of function for a/c and radio control panel.i had to pull over in a rain storm because windows fogged up. My 2003 g35 infiniti has 78500 miles.
My 2003 infiniti g-35 radio went out will not come on at all. My a/c comes on whenever i turn the car on and i can not turn it off.my passenger side window won't go upand the passenger side seat will not stop moving even after i have let go of the buttons. It folded my passenger like a sandwich. When i took it to the infiniti dealer the salemans said that the audio system installed in my years make and model number was defected and they were aware that the life of this system would only last about five years.
My audio and climate control system have completely stopped working. I have no control of the rear or front defroster which is a serious safety hazard. Infiniti issued a recall for the problem however my car wasn't covered even though it is the exact same problem.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35.the contact stated that the welding joint was coming apart and damaging the base.the dealer stated that the entire base was unsafe and needed to be replaced.the vehicle is currently at the dealer being repaired at the owner's expense.there is a service bulletin for the vehicle, but the number was unavailable.the failure and current mileages were 46,000.the consumer stated in january 20009, the driver's seat began to rock back forth whenever he accelerated from a complete stop. At first, the rocking was isolated to when acceleration occurred from a complete stop. However, after two weeks the rocking would occur when traveling at highway speeds of about 70 mph. Eventually, the condition of the driver's seat became so severe that the seat could be rocked back and forth without any person seated in it. The driver's seat assembly was replaced at the consumers expense.updated 02/09/11 the consumer stated while driving in inclement weather, the window defroster suddenly shut off on its own. At the same time, the air conditioner reset itself to 60 degrees and turned itself on at maximum force. The lights on the climate control panel and radio panel went dark. Attempts were made to shut off the air conditioner and restart the window defrosted, but the climate control button were non-responsive. It was discovered that the only way to control the radio was through the control buttons located on the steering wheel. Unlike the radio there was no secondary climate control button. Within 30 seconds of the window defroster shutting off, all of the windows inside the vehicle became foggy.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was discovered the audio finisher circuit board was defective and that along with the radio would have to be replaced at a cost of $ 1,329.01. The dealer stated the radio and climate controls were both intertwined with the audio finisher circuit board. Updated 09/10/12the consumer stated the audio finisher board was replaced.updated 10/10/1
The vehicle hvac/stereo system lost power and quit functioning causing the windshield to fog up.the only way to see was by wiping the inside glass with paper towels. The system malfunctionedover the past months and now is not operational.
Air conditioning unit comes on randomly and would not shut off.at the same time, the radio became inoperable.initially this problem would happen just a couple of times per week, but now it's a permanent issue. Infiniti recognizes that a problem exists, but will not recall because they claim that it's not a safety issue.this is a huge safety issue because i cannot control the front or rear defrost.
Engine stalled while driving, check engine light came on at the time of the stall. The engine kicked back on within seconds. Within minutes, the car stalled again sitting idle at a light but did not kick back on.hard restart. Car was brought to the repair shop where it was found that the crankshaft position sensor was bad. Paid $400 for parts and labor to replace.
The audio/climate controls on my 2003 infiniti g35 stopped working while my ac goes on full blast. Can't turn it off.i have no control of my radio. Called the dealer. They said it could be the radio ($900), the circuit board ($900) or both ($1800) plus tax. And that's on top of the diagnostics fee they will charge. Infiniti service advisor told me that because it's out of warranty, it's just like a bulb going out. What a ripoff. .
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the radio and air conditioning would activate independently and could not be turned off. The vehicle was not taken to dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 65,000.
Twice now, the vehicle has completely died while in motion, once while backing out of a driveway, another time while driving.took to a mechanic (not dealer mechanic) who said it was the cam shaft and crank sensors.i looked online and saw that there had been a recall for this part for this year, 2003 for infiniti g35.yet when i called, i was told that my vin was not included in the recall.this to me seems highly suspicious.my 17 year old daughter was driving the car at the times it spontaneously died.i was very glad that she was not on the freeway or somewhere else busy when it happened! this vehicle has otherwise been completely dependable over the past 14 years of ownership, to have it spontaneously die while driving is very frightening for a dependable vehicle!
1) called the dealership and was told there is a technical bulletin on how to fix the problem but it wasn't a recall and will cost approx. $800 due to a malfunctioning of a circuit board. 2) the climate control and radio are inoperable about every other time we start the car. I read current recalls for this exact problem for the sedan and not the coupe. I just don't understand that. I know there are other's with the same issue. Hope this become a recall soon.
Something was draining the battery in the electrical system. One day while trying to start the car after it had been sitting for a few days, everything flickered (headlights, dashlights, control panel) and then the car wouldn't start. Charged the battery and then the radio, ac/heater/defroster did not work properly. Have seen many similar complaints on the internet.
Windows fail to operate (open or close) - defective electric motor confirmed.radio cannot be turned on.ac cannot be turned off - it stays on constantly at max ac setting and maximum fan speed.cd player will not turn on.this has been reported by numerous owners of infiniti g35's.the radio, ac and cd problems are linked together, as it appears to be due to a widespread failure of an audio finisher circuit board component. The manufacture has issued a voluntary service campaign for a very limited number of vehicles manufactured through august 21, 2002. It does not cover numerous vehicles that present with the exact same fault manufactured after than date.
Infiniti issued a tsb about an audio finisher circuit potentially failing.meanwhile they did no recall or notified customers.the circuit controls all the hvac and radio control.meaning, when it malfunctions, you have no ability to use the defroster to defog the window.no control can be had of the system.it turns on the ac automatically and disables all controls.
Im having the same problem that thousands of others have with this same car, first the radio gos out then all controls for heating and cooling controls start to go out, now i have no control over my heating and cooling system. Which is scary cuz now that its winter i cant defrost my windows and infiniti refuses to take responsibility for they're faulty system, warranty or not its a safety hazard!!!!!
The a/c controls, defrost, radio controls on my infiniti g35 stopped working. No buttons on the console will work. Infiniti says that the circuit board has malfunctioned causing all of the controls on the console including the defrost, heating and air and stereo controls.
Intermittent loss of control of radio, a/c, front window defogger and rear window defroster. Discussed with dealer (not very helpful) and had a local repair shop look into the problem. They suggested replacement of audio finisher circuit board by dealer as reprogramming of the radio is required and can only be done by the dealer.
The 3rd brake light (high mount light) only works intermittently in my 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. This is a safety hazard when the brakes are applied and the 3rd brake light does not light up.
First, the cd player stopped working.then the control panels to the radio and thermostat stopped working.then the defroster for the windshield stopped working.now the battery is not functional - the engine has to be jumped so the car can be started.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that none of the gauges on the instrument panel functioned. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 105,000.
Shortly after purchasing my infiniti, i noticed that the fuel gauge was not registering the level correctly. When the gauge reaches approximately one-quarter tank full, the gauge drops to well below the e mark and the warning light comes on. Even after purchasing approximately twenty dollars worth of gas the gauge still registers below the e mark and the light stays on. Last week on september 1, 2011, i went to purchase gas because the light was on. I know my tank holds twenty gallons when empty, so i thought it would take approximately seventy dollars to fill up, but to my surprise the pump stopped at fifty-three dollars, which was about thirteen gallons. The gauge on the dash did not even register to the f mark, it stopped on three-quarters full, even though i tried a couple of times to fill the tank even more. I replaced the fuel tank level sender in august of 2011 with a new part, but this has not helped. This is a safety issue, as i do not know the correct fuel level in the vehicle, which could lead to my stalling out on a roadway and am not able to pull to the side of the road. I am aware of other infiniti models going through recalls because of fuel gauge problems which sound identical to what i am experiencing, so maybe this should be investigated further. I also have researched this problem on the internet and quite a few blogs detail the exact experience i am having.
Apparently standard problem with 2003 infiniti g35... Bose amplifier draws considerable current when car is turned off.if car isn't started for 2 days, battery is dead.i just became aware of this problem today.dealer -- who clearly knew the problem existed last year -- sold me new battery, and never mentioned this standard problem.that battery, purchased 7/23/07 was dead thursday 6/26/08 and again wednesday, 7/2/08.
I got my car in april 2013 nota year yet.i was at work when they said the light started to blink and then the alarm started to go off when the security came by around it was smoking and on fire it was coming from the hood. The police and fire station said they think it was a electric problems. I really don't know what i should do now.
The radio system malfunctions on an intermittent basis due to cold solder join on radio circuit board.other engine functions and air conditioning controls are routed through the radio circuit board so when this fails, it presents a dangerous situation.when the radio system malfunctions, the air conditioner is set to maximum setting.also in some cases, the malfunctioning radio results in battery drain.infiniti previously issued a recall but the repaired radios also exhibit the same defect. I have contacted infiniti and they decline any responsibility.local infiniti service manager states this is a well-known issue with infiniti radios. Would like nhtsa to compile statistics to determine if infiniti should have extended recall campaign.
The third brake light on the rear window deck fails to work intermittently creating a situation where vehicles following may not realize that our vehicle is braking. This creates a concern for my safety as well as my childrens safety. This is a very frequent problem with infiniti vehicles of this make but infiniti will not acknowledge the problem.
Air conditioning/heating controls running full blast with zero ability to control. This is a safety issue as windows cannot be defrosted in the winter. Radio not working. Infiniti corporation is not warranting this issue, but refers customers to local dealerships.
A/c came on randomly at high speed,,could now turn of,,fog my windows will my niece was in back in her baby seat,,i tried turning the fan's off,,could not turn of,,and heater and cd malfunction together. Went to dealer they would not replace,will cost 1300,,it was electric problem. I always keep my car up to service.
2003 infiniti g35 sedan battery was dead after not starting vehicle for more than 3 days.the cd player is the culprit and the "eject" continues to cycle even with the car turned off.this is the second time in 4 months that the new battery is dead after sitting for a few days.
As i was traveling down the road, my a/c turned on by itself and my radio display went away. I was unable to turn off my a/c or control my radio. None of the buttons on the center console worked.
Intermittent heater, defroster, ac, audio failure.this is a safety issue with regard to the inability to defrost / de-ice the wind shield.there are numerous complaints from other owners on this site and others. No response or support from infinity.
Finisher board malfunction, no defroster for front and rear windows,. Radio and ac impaired
Stereo doesn't work all of a sudden...then the ac turns on high level at 60 degrees. ? it doesn't turn off. My concern is that in winter when the front and rear windows are fogged up i cant heat them up to clear them which is a safety hazard..i don't understand why there's a recall on the sedan for the exact problem,but not the coupe.. Thanks
Like thousands of other g35's, my vehicle's radio and air conditioning controls have become unresponsive.the panel's light goes off and none of the buttons work.the air conditioning unit resets itself to 75 degrees and auto climate, which promptly ramps up and goes full blast, with no way to turn it off.this problem also drains the battery while the car is off.before i was aware of this battery draining, i was at a gas station at midnight in the freezing cold, when the car would no longer start.i was never told about the problem by infiniti, and they did have a recall for this but for a very small range of vins.according to my dealer, this is one of their most common jobs and non-warranty covered repairs will come up to $1300.searching online reveals many threads with hundreds of posts about this very same issue.apparently getting the repair may not solve the problem and it may resurface 3-4 months later.this should be recalled, as it could potentially be very dangerous.i'm lucky i don't live in an area where there is snow or freezing temperatures.you can get stuck out there with no battery.
The contact owns 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the air conditioning system and the electronic sound system failed due to a defective circuit board. The air condition would not blow cold air and the radio could not be turned on. The manufacturer was contacted but denied assistance with repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 251,300 and the current mileage was 251,900.updated 04/23/12
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated his radio, heater, and air conditioner failed due to a defective circuit. During the winter months, the contact was unable to defrost the windows properly which caused unsafe driving conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing and the dealer confirmed that the circuit needed to be replaced at the owner's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileage was 113,000.
Air conditioning blasts at all times that car engine is running. No way to control, lower or change the a/c defroster, heat or defogger. Radio panels are similarly "blacked out" meaning they are not within the control of the operator. Multiple safety complaints have been issued regarding this problem and the dealership has advised similar owners it will be $4,000 to rectify this problem. This is largely a safety concern. I have notified my insurance company of this issue as when toyota's were recalled and people were injured it was the insurance company, (state farm) that realized the severity of the situation first.
My radio and ac comes on but i cannot turn on/off from control panel of car on dash.i can only operate the radio from the steering wheel.my a/c is on full blast at cold air and will not shut off.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact noticed that the defroster stopped functioning. The contact had the vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic who stated that the radio and the audio control unit, which controled the hvac unit, had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infinity g35. The contact was driving 25 mph when the defroster, air conditioner and radio failed intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer but the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 117,000 and the current mileage was 127,000. Updated 01/06/12 the consumer stated from the time is started happening, it was intermittent, until march when it went out all together. It is now stuck on a constant 74 degrees and nothing else on the center panel works. Updated 01/06/12
2003 infiniti g35 audio finisher circuit board failure. Failure occured july 2011. Audio finisher board issue identified in 2003 infiniti tsb campaign id p3104 / itb03-007b voluntary service campaign (auto finisher circuit board). Was told my vehicle / vin not covered. Dealer repair was $900. Audio system and enviromental controls inside car disabled. If this happened in winter could have resulted in defroster / visibility issues.
My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan experiences intermittent failure of the control panel for operation of the a/c, radio, etc. Because of this electrical problem, the engine throttle is unable to be reset. It idles at 1000 rpm and does not reduce rpms when slowing or stopping the vehicle. This causes a shaking of the vehicle.while this make, model, and year vehicle do appear on a recall list, the vin number is out of range so the dealer will not repair the vehicle.
Radio, front and rear defrost and climate control all stopped working.
G35 infiniti-electrical issues such as radio not working, car locking by itself-wife was driving on freeway and heater defrost stopped working, windshield fogged up and had to pull to side of freeway, could no longer drive safely-called dealer $900 to repair circuit board and replace radio.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While the contact started the vehicle, the air conditioner would automatically activate without intent and failed to deactivate. The vehicle was taken to an authorize dealer who informed the contact that the radio would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired previously under a manufacturer voluntary service campaign pertaining to the audio finisher circuit board. In addition, there was a circuit shortage causing failure with the alternator and battery. The vehicle was currently being repaired for the malfunction. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Loss of controls to 03 g35 radio/ac/heat.initial power failure only affected console controls and wheel controls still worked for radio control.about a month later the wheel controls went as well.entire blower for ac/air and heat is gone.entire console kit and stereo had to be replaced.old stereo was retained.
The air control on my car went out. The car's radio and air controls no longer work. The air is stuck on 72 degrees cool with a/c on. I was in kentucky at the time and unable to manage my temperature. Car's interior windows fogging up, unable to control defrost or windshield air direction. Problem still exists, when air is on at certain times windows fog up and reduce visibility. This is a big problem with infiniti owners.
I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when i finished my transaction i tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move.i finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked.it has also happened to me when i have started my car and tried to put it in reverse.it is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my vin # in the recall but they haven't so far.even in the expanded recall.i don't know why.when does our safety become important?my stereo/cd player also stopped working and i had to replace that.what good does all of these repetitive complaints do if the auto companies aren't made to repair all of them?
My infiniti 2003 g35 radio circuit board failed because of faulty engineering. This causes the windshield defrost function to stop working. There are thousands of other complaints on the internet sitting the same problem. Infiniti wants 800.00 to repair the radio to get the defroster to work again. This is happening for all people that have g35 2003.
While driving in traffic, car dies without warning, dash sensor reflect slip, vdc off, check engine soon light up, drove less than mile and dies again suddenly, 3rd time happens next day in car and almost collision due to lack of control of steering and car stopping, car narrowly misses hitting me from behind, determine recall 03v455000 for this issue but infiniti states my vin # not registered to this recall, told by repair shop that it is cam sensors and infiniiti aware of problem but hasn't linked vins to recall, does someone have to die to get corrected???
Electrical control panel: heat/ defrost/ radio and cd/tape. Intermittent operation was reported to infiniti dealer in 2008. At the present time (oct. 2010), the control panel istotally inoperable as of the beginning of october 2010. There is no way of controlling the ac/defrost/temperature. The audio/ climate system was inspected and confirmed that the circuitry has internal failure. This has posed a hazard since there is no way of controlling the defrost and fan to unfog the windows.there was a voluntary recall in 2004, however i had not been notified. Several similar complaints have been blogged. Dealer will replace unit for approximately $550.00 at owner's cost. However, it appears that it is a defect by the manufacturer.
In february 2007 the cd player ate my cd and i noticed the heater became deactivated almost simultaneously.this is the 2nd time i would need to replace the audio system.originally, when the car was under warranty, the dealer replaced said system.these are all factory parts.when i reported the problem to the dealership they simply told me i would have to replace the audio system and circuit board unit at a cost of approximately $1500.the problem has been intermittent.i wrote a letter to infiniti requesting financial assistance, more than 6 months ago, and to date never received a response.the dealership knew about this problem, however, it was a independent repair shop that cited the "technical service bulletin", and recommended i contact the dealer.as of december 3, 2008, the dealer still expect me to pay for the repairs in total, and assumes no responsibility.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The radio, heater and air conditioning console had an electrical failure. He notified an infiniti dealer in reference to a recall, and was advised that the recall repair had previously been performed. The contact has to pay $1,300.00 to repair the vehicle. A representative from the manufacturer advised him that if he did not drive a hour and a half to an authorized dealer for an assessment, they would not provide any assistance. The current and failure mileages were approximately 85,000. Updated 11/10/09 the rear window defroster was inoperative. Updated 11/13/09.
I bought this car new from bommarito infiniti in ellisville, mo in 2003. I have intermittently had problems with the stereo system and air-conditioning/heater controls working. At this point, the heater is stuck on 90 degrees, controls not working, and also the radio will not work from the console but i can control it from the steering wheel. I have researched this online and see that it is a problem with this car and year but when i called the infiniti consumer affairs department i was told that this particular part was not recalled on my car but other cars had been affected. This clearly is a ongoing issue with this cars circuit board they should continue their research. I have to say at least it is wintertime in illinois right now otherwise i would be dying of a heat stroke driving this car....
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, he approached a stop sign and the vehicle stalled. There were no lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure caused the power steering and the brakes to fail. The contact let the vehicle sit for a few minutes and the vehicle restarted. The dealer was notified and stated that the failure was due to the engine sensor and it needed to be repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 97,000.updated 7/12/12 the consumer stated the a/c and radio haven't worked in years, due to a burned out circuit board. Updated 07/18/12
I was entering onto the highway and my entire defrost / ac / radio cluster failed. The ac came on full blast, replacing the defrost!!!i had to pull over and park the car due to the safety factor of not being able to run my defrost.the issue is the ac, defrost, and radio stack controls stop working.there is no way to get them to work once the problem occurs.there has been a recall on this for g35''s built in 2002 for the 2003 model year.my g35 was built in 2002 but when i called infiniti they said my ''engine is the wrong model'' infiniti needs to fix this thru recall as this is a major safety issue concerning the defrost.i can only imagine if my 17 year old daughter had been driving and the defrost went out.i could have been a very rich man at the expense of my daughters life.i have read where thousands of g35 owners are having the same issue.i don''t think any daughters life is worth the price to fix this already well documented issue.infiniti needs to step to the plate.they already know of the issue but have turned a blind eye.i envision infiniti getting blasted by law suits because this will kill someone.when that happens, infiniti will not have a leg to stand on.the issue is too well documented for infiniti to say they didn't know.
It was about a year ago when i first started having issues with my a/c and radio.a/c blows intermittently at what ever temperature and air level it feels like and cannot be adjusted.the radio at the same time cannot be adjusted. The first time this issue happened it lasted for about a week and then it just started working again. Now it is like it has a mind of its own.this is unsafe to drive without being able to use the defroster in the mornings and late at night.not only is it a safety issue but it is also unhealthy to get a constant full blow of 62 degree air blasting at you when it is 40 to 50 degrees out side. Even though i adjust the vents closed it still blows cold air through them.this seems to be an issue with these cars and cannot understand why nissan wont take responsibility for this design flaw. I ended up taking my car to the nissan dealership and had to pay a diagnostic fee, no codes came up. But they are telling me that this is an issue with these cars and the audio finisher circuit board will need to be replaced at a cost of 700.00.!there are so many nhtsa complaints about this issue.it is a safety issue if you cannot see out your window, because you cannot work the defroster!
2003 infiniti g35 air-conditioning unit suddenly will not turn off.unable to turn on the defroster because of this making visibility poor and very dangerous at times.radio will not turn on.this is widespread problem with this vehicle but nothing is being done about it.
While the vehicle was parked a fire started in the rear brake compartment. The lights on dashboard were intermittent.the rear light and speaker area had a possible electrical short per dispatcher. *sc
I have a 2003 infiniti g35. I have experienced complete fault on all dash controls (heater/ac, radio, cd, fan). When this occurred, the radio went off, the fan blower went up and everything else off.i could not control anything.it eventually went back to normal, but randomly occurs - always very inconvenient and not safe.i called infiniti because my neighbor that has the same exact vehicle had this problem months ago, and had it repaired at the infiniti dealership free of charge through a recall (which neither of us received -she found the recall online).infiniti told me they cannot repair my car because it is not part of the recall - and they mentioned the cost to repair is in excess of $1000.i ask why, if i have the same make/model as others that have been repaired, and because there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of the exact same complaints online and other places, why would my car not be repaired?apparently their recall only includes '03 models manufactured prior to a particular date.how rediculous!this is a safety issue due to the inability to control the defrost and the windows can fog immediately, not to mention that the ac could begin blowing full force duriing cold weather, or not at all during very hot weather.the problem occurs randomly, and the driver has absolutely no control of any dash controls.it should be repaired free of charge without question!
Stereo audio cut off and a/c turned on to full blast. Console controls and temperature controls stopped working. Turned off car then on to see if it would fix the issue, but once it was on the a/c turned to full blast again and controls don't work. This issue has my motor running harder bc the a/c is on causing my car to overheat while driving uphill. Ever since the controls have not worked constantly for over a year.
My 2003 infinity g35 sedan's heater will stay on high with the radio and heating control removed.i can access the radio through the stereo, but have no dashboard controls of the radio or ac at all. Dealership wants "pre-paid" a $700 audio finisher/circuit board. When the part came in, they would install it, and if the radio/cd player was defective, it would fry the finisher immediately, but then they would know that the radio was bad, and would send it out for a re-build for approximately $350 and two weeks worth of waiting with no tunes or ventilation system. Plus labor, of course.
Crankshaft angle sensor and camshaft position sensor both failed causing vehicle to stall at low rpm's (engine dies loosing brakes and steering). Infinity recall #r3021 has this problem yet my vehicle not included in this recall for some reason. Called infinity and they will not help me. What are my options? my cost is $621.86 repairs and diagnosis.
2003 infiniti g35.consumer writes in regards to vehicle audio and temperature control system recall issues. It was determined the control was bad. However, the consumer vin was not included in the recall.
The controls on my center console where the a/c and radio are stopped working. The radio turned off by itself and came back on less then a minute later but none of the buttons were illuminating. My heat went from 77 degrees on the lowest setting on the face vents, to 87 degrees on "auto a/c" to the highest setting and switched to the foot vents. It has done this before, but it has always "come back to life" if you will, within 10 minutes. It has now been like this for four days, blasting cold air into my car on 33 degree days. I understand infiniti recalled the board that they poorly designed only on the sedans. This board design is definitely a safety issue, living in the midwest, and being my only mode of transportation. When winter hits, and temperatures really fall, and my car is only blowing out cold air, and worst of all on my feet, i will not be able to defrost my windows properly. It just does not make sense to me why infiniti would recall a part in one car that is the exact same in another it just has two doors. Its like paying someone to paint the inside of your house. The reason you chose them is because you found them to be loyal and trustworthy. Come to find out the painter only painted half of your house and took a few valuables on his way out. I just hope a lawyer sees some good money in a class action lawsuit because i know i do.
My infiniti climate control has quit working which has left me with a car with no heat or defrost unable to drive in the winter. Their was a recall on many 2003 g35 but i have been told that my car isnt covered. Seems too much of a coincidence my car is doing exact complaint on many other cars.
I have a 2003 infinity g35 coupe my radio does not work and have lost all control of my heat and air conditioning i believe this is a really big problem do to the fact thati cannot defrost my windows when they fog up.
Climate control/stereo control panel failure.there is a 'voluntary service campaign audio finisher circuit board' (campaign i.d. # :p3104applied vehicle: 2003 g35 sedan (v35)applied vins:vehicles built between jnkcv51e*3m000014 - 026621)however, it is affecting more vehicles outside of their parameters.my manufacture date is 12/02 and this campaign only covers models through 08/02.this is unacceptable with a known issue of models manufactured the same year.the climate control panel failure is a safety issue as you can not use the defrost buttons with inclement weather conditions.
Common problem with the g35.audio finisher controls the climate control system and stereo.doesn't sound like it is dangerous but it is!no ability to use defrost in thunderstorm yesterday and had to pull over numerous times.called infiniti today and their recall does not cover my vin.they offer a goodwill replacement if you buy another car etc.car is not safe and i will not pay infinity $1500 to repair when they effectively concede they know there is a problem with the design and it is dangerous.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe. The contact stated that all of the controls on the instrument panel failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised replacing the electrical wiring for the instrument panel. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 110,000.
A/c controls/electrical failing on vehicle... During summer months do not have ability to lower a/c (blows hot air).during winter months do not have access to heater or window defroster creating road hazard and personal safety issues. 2003 infiniti g35 couple.
'tamara recall' my radio and complete column to adjust ac went out.there was a recal for my same year and model vehicle, but infiniti is saying my vin isn't covered.i took the steps to have the recall my fixed by a licensed mechanic and still nothing works.it is a safety hazard as i have a young child and the car only blows heat.in ca it it still very hot right now and cannot afford another vehicle.
Electrical problem:the dash lights, radio, air conditioner, defrost, and heat go out 1-2 times a day.when this happens, i have no interior lights to read odometer, etc. And cannot defrost windows.i contacted dealer who said it was the radio causing problem at a cost of $1200+.contacted out-of-state dealer who said it was ignition switch.dealer said they can't diagnose problem correctly unless it is failing at the time.internet forum shows many people with this problem.
Controls for audio, including on steering wheel, and controls for temp do not work. This car was made one month after cut off date for recall on this component. I would like to get this repair from infiniti at no charge.
Ac/climate control circuit board is not functioning. There was a voluntary service campaign issued by infiniti (tb003-007, campaign id p3104), but only for certain vin numbers. Many other 2003 owners, not covered by the recall, are experiencing the same issue. This is a safety issue as rear and front window defrosters do not operate.
Third brake led lamp stops working and randomly comes back on. This also happens in almost every other g35 sedan i have seen to date.
Problem started with radio not displaying any lights or script across display.after about a week the radio would not come on until the engine had been running for a few minutes and still would not display any lights the whole time.a few days later the temperature controls stopped being accessible.the buttons for the radio and the temp controls don't work.the temperature now does whatever it wants based on the auto controls.it will randomly change whether the air blows from the floor level or on top, and change force of air that blows out.there is no way of setting defrost.the only way anything can be changed with the radio is through the controls on the steering wheel.around september of the previous year the cd player stopped working as well.it would run constantly as if trying to read the disc even when the keys were out of the ignition and won't ever play.it also won't eject the cds.
Cd got stuck in cd player. Radio started cutting in and out. Then thedash panel that controlled the stereo, cd, heater, ac, etc does not function properly. The a/c does not shut off, whereas all the other devices do not turn on. I can still use the controls on the steering wheel but the other controls on the dash (except navigation) stop working.
First, the cd player stopped working.then the control panels to the radio and thermostat stopped working.then the defroster for the windshield stopped working.now the battery is not functional - the engine has to be jumped so the car can be started.
1- battery drained every other day.2- if the infiniti g35- 2003- is not in use for 1day the battery died.3- i change the battery 4times in past 8 month!!4- the ac goes to max and i can not turn it off, i was told this is due to the wiering and that is why the radio doesnt work either5- if this is due to the wiering i am afraid that it might cause fire.6- beside the wiering issue, unstopable ac, battery drainage every other day are health issue related since i have allergies and it cause eye tears and i cant see properly while i drive not to mention that i have had flue twice so far because i can not turn off my ac !!!i went through the infiniti website and saw many other infiniti g35/2003 drivers had same issue.please helpppppppppppppp.
My car seat moved all the forward while driving to work in denver metro'bench and back support both pushed me a few inches from the steering wheel. I had to move my leg with my hand to reach the brake pedal. One week later, my car horn began beeping and would not stop while driving. My vdc and brake lights now stay on constantly because the anti skid does not work'i almost wrecked on a snowy highway. The front tires wear exponentially faster than the back tires. I had blowouts two separate times on the interstate. The front windows are now glued shut because they roll down on their own. The airbag light stays on now too. I realize it's an old car; i bought it for $8,000 4 years ago when it had ~95,000 miles. Now it has ~140,000. The level of quick decline is truly frightening though. I don't drive my 2003 infinit g35 any more and am apprehensive to sell it to anyone else. The car i loved is now like driving a horror movie.
I was filling gas up suddently my car did not want to start. My check engine light soon when on. When i started driving my car was moving poorly. My engine light when on after. I when to autozone to check my code. They said it was due too camshaft senors.
My slip light and vct light has came on in my 2003 infiniti g35 and also the ebrake light and non of them will go offf. I recently hydro planed in the rain due not being able to turn my traction control on abs did nothing to stop my car from loosing traction this would never of happened if my car did not have these problems. Further looking into it they have had made a tsb talking about how the abs and anti wheel lock may malfunction. I was in a 5 car pile up and almost died. If my traction control was able to be turned on witch it wouldn't let me i would not of hydro planed my whole back end just swung forward out of nowhere people though someone in my car pulled my ebrake the way the back end just swung forward. Both the slip light and the vct light remained on along with my ebrake light. I drive my car like a baby and to barley push the gas should not result in my back end swinging forward resulting in completely wrechingmy car along with 4 other drivers. I feel infiniti is definitely reliable and should of recalled these parts due to putting people in danger instead of making it atsb like its not a big deal. I am also not the only one iv found a few people that crashed there car due to rainy wether and the traction control not wanting to turn on. I was on the freeway doing about 60 to 65. If i new infiniti had so many problems i would not of purchased one 77 bulletins and after reading about all the problems the 2003 had and all the recalled parts i would not of purchased it and put my life at risk. I feel infiniti should be reliable it's commen sense to know that first hand not fixing those problems would lead to serious injuries and i'm not the only one. Let me know what you think i will be emailing infiniti to. It may not be a recalled part but it' put me and everyone else on the freeway at risk and totaled my car. Bellow is someone who also had the issue

I have a 2003 infiniti g35.the center console, controlling the heater/ac and the radio is not working.i was told that there is a control board problem that infiniti is not claiming, yet according to the web, there are several complaining of the same problem.
Just bought an 03 g35 sedan and after almost getting involved on an accident because my car shuts off in the middle of the freeway on my way home from work.i've been doing some research and there's a recall for defective sensors that causes the engine to stop without a warning (camshaft position sensors and crank position sensor ) i've contactedinfiniti consumer affairs about this problemand they told me that my vehicle is not on the list for recalls, it is doing the exact same thing that the recall says and infiniti doesn't want to be responsible for that, i need to know what can i do since i just bought this car and now i don't feel safe driving it
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and was difficult to restart. In addition, there was fuel leaking and the vehicle would not properly refuel. The check engine, the vdc, and the slip warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler hose was cracked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign numbers: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling) and 05v555000(fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Burns oil at 5 quarts a week or more. Piston rings are defective. Common for this car i've read and there was a recall that infiniti issued but this has not included my vehicle. Suspension also wears down brand new tires in less than 3 months. My boyfriend has the exact same car and this is a problem with his vehicle also.
Hello,i own a 2003 infiniti g35 and have an issue with my car overheating after driving it for short period of time.also have noticed a check engine light come on.i've had multiple mechanics look at the car and replace items such as the water pump, thermostat housing, and engine fans and continue to still have the issue. I have been having this same issue on and off betweenmechanic visits for almost a year now.this is a serious hazard, considering that these incidents have happen with me also driving on a highway and having to pull over and get my car towed to my place of residence.i have noticed that i am not the first person with this issue and a number of drivers have the same issue.just do a google web search for "2003 infiniti g35 overheating" and you will have a number of results come up on this issue and also a number of other drivers posting on the same issue with no resolution.i would like to know if this is part of recall that my car hasn't been identified as part of.if not, i strongly believe that a recall for this model needs to happen for this issue since this is a serious hazard to drive the car in this state.any assistance on this on going issue will be appreciated.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed that the cam sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled multiple times intermittently. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the cam shaft position sensor bank 1 needed to be replaced. The contact was not included in nhtsa campaign id number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was to be inspected and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 199,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the service engine, vds traction control and slip warning indicators flashed as the vehicle stalled. The dealer (faulkner infiniti of mechanicsburg, 6305 carlisle pike, mechanicsburg, pa 17050,(717) 691-8900) indicated that a manufacturer recall was provided but was closed. The manufacturer provided no assistance other than indicating to take the vehicle to the dealer. The contact was uncertain if the vehicle may be repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The approximate failure mileage was 136,000.
Driveing into curve engine died and had no power brakes and difficult to steer on city street.
The car simply died after pulling on to a busy highway.it would not start for several minutes.after taking the car to the infinity dealership i was informed that it was a cam shift sensor failure.not just one, but two sensors.i understand that there was a recall for this model but i cannot get the infinity to comply with this recall and the subsequently charged me $500+ to replace the two fouled parts.very disappointing.
Engine became inoperable while driving causing a major safety issue. Several warning lights came on simultaneously (check engine light, slip light, vdc light) at the time. Car was able to be restarted with some trouble. Problem repeated itself (stalling, loss of power, starting difficulty) over next couple days, although warning lights never went off. Independent mechanic identified problem as cam position sensor failures & advised there was a nhtsa safety recall (nhtsa campaign id 03v455000) for the problem with 2003 g35s, but that my vin was outside the campaign recall vins. He suggested i contacted infiniti. I contacted both dealer and infiniti national customer service who acknowledged there was a cam position sensor problem with 2003 g35s, but because my vin was not in the campaign they refused to do anything to address the safety issue. I had the dealerreplace the cam position sensors at my expense (about $1500). There are a number of similar complaints filed with the nhtsa about this problem with no apparent resolution with infiniti. The recall campaign 03v455000 needs to be extended to cover all problem vehicles.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning lamp, vehicle dynamic control light, anti-lock braking system light and the brake warning light illuminated.

Vehicle has an oil consumption issue. Previous owners have owned the car with under 100k miles and always have had oil consumption problems with the car. Currently the vq35de engine consumes about 2 quarts of oil every 2 weeks/300 miles..the car is always under light load.car rarely ever sees hard acceleration or high rpms. Previous owner warned me of the oil consumption problem which they dealt with for the full time of owning the vehicle. I also own a 2002 nissan maxima with the same vq35de engine and has an oil consumption problem as well but not nearly as bad.. Its very simple to google vq35 oil consumption and find a plethora of links to alot of people having the same problems. Seems like the bore on the block is milled incorrectly which causes the oil getting past the top ring.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stalled, the check engine warning light illuminated.

As i was accelerating to access highway, i was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if i was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when i was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as i was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while i waited and it suddenly shut down. When i restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. I checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas.

Researched recall information and contacted infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of nhtsa campaign number 03v455000.

My car was going good for 3 years and out of nowhere it stopped getting gas or throttle like it should and it's been sitting for a week now... Ima have to get checked or something but out of nowhere my car would start but not throttle properly and would slip and all my lights would go in my car..
The car suddenly had a very poor acceleration, like no power and a "service engine soon" lighted up. Also, the circuit board with temperature controls, does not light up.same the radio ...??
I have replaced the cam position sensor and the crank sensor and my car continues to stall causing the service engine soon light to appear with a loss of power and intermittent stalling. Infiniti has a recall for this problem (service bulletin: nhtsa: 03v455000 cam shaft sensor defective) but they say my car is not included. This is a safety issue because the car looses power and stalls intermittently. The problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion usually at highway speed with the cruise control engaged.
While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions.on several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off.the "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared.i took it to my local infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened.the crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563.03, and infiniti says that without nhtsa telling them to pay for it, they refuse.this car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.

The engine shuts off on the road while the vehicle is in motion. It happened 2 years ago first time. Replaced camshaft position sensor bank 1 and bank 2. It happened again today, while i was driving on the highway with my pregnant wife. Luckily i was able to avoid any accident and parked on the shoulder. Check engine light came up.code p0340 . Same problem like 2 years ago. So the problem comes back again and again ,even when the sensors were replaced (oem parts.) there was infiniti recall on that problem (recall # r3021) .

After driving for about 5 minutes the car completely shut off. It was basically a moving parked car!!! the steering wheel locked so it was really hard to pull over. Thank god i was on a local street. I didn't force the steering too much b/c that could affect the power steering. Once on the side, the car took really long to start up, i mean about 5 seconds from hearing the crank to actual startup. Usually it?s instantaneous. Now, the service engine soon, vdc off, and slip lights were on. I got my car checked out with a scanner/diagnosis and it returned code ?p0340 camshaft position sensor.? i just find it really hard to believe nissan/infiniti does not cover such a dangerous problem. I can understand that every car has mechanical/electrical issues but for a car to stop working on the road like that is unacceptable. There was a recall on this issue but according to nissan/infiniti my car vin is not for this campaign so i was rejected.itb03-072 safety recall campaign2002 q45, 2003 m45, g35, 2002-2003 i35; voluntary recall campaign engine sensorsinfiniti has determined that some 2002-2003 model year infiniti vehicles may have a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. The engine might stop running while being driven if the crank position sensor or cam position sensor fails. This may also result in the ?service engine soon? light coming on or reduced engine power. If the engine stops running while driving, this could result in a crash without warning.

Hello, my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe is experiencing the exact issue that nhtsa campaign number:03v455000 (infiniti recall no. R3021) describes for the crank/cam shaft position sensors. My car will literally just die while driving at any given time! my steering wheel locks up,and i have to pull over with a stiff steering wheel to turn my car off & restart it. Sometimes, the car won't start becuase of the same issue. However, my local infiniti dealer and the infiniti customer service line have both informed me that they cannot fix this issue becuase my vin was not listed on that recall. I bought this car around 6-7 years ago, so i would not have even been able to take it in to get fixed since they noted it was only 2003 for a certain time. This just recently started happening a few months ago, and i finally found the exact issue on your website. I verified that my cars computer noted that those specific sensors are bad! i'm very upset with infiniti not even caring to help one of their customers for a major safety and liability issue! this keeps happening over and over at random, and i'm honestly nervous to drive my car. This could easily pose danger to others or myself if the car does this while driving in the future! please help!

After purchasing the vehicle, i was driving it around for about a week. I came to a stop one day and my oil light came on. I took it to the dealership and asked them to check it. The dipstick is very hard to read, unlike most cars, long story short the dealership changed it. I don't believe that they did when i got it because of the color. Ever since i have been keeping track of the oil consumption issue that i have been having.i have a aftermarket warranty but they are no longer helping me with my issues (or feel as though i am not being helped) with my car at such low milesi have looked and there are several issues with vq35de motors with oil consumption issues that needs to be fixed. I have and am having sever issues with oil consumption. I just has a compression test and i have #'s but i have to call the dealership, they also just did a leak down test to see if it might be the rings just in case the compression test didn't get it.** i now currently burn 1.2 quarts of oil in 800 miles. Was the last and latest oil consumption test that the dealership has run. After passing both tests. The most i have seen my car use is 3qts in 3k. Not goood!i currently have 98895 on the car right now. Please if you can help :) thank you!

I've recently been having issue with the engine where the car stalls. The car start fine when i do a cold start but when the car warms up the car stalls at times. I've been hearing a lot of the stories from other people on different forums where this is a common issue for this model. The culprit are either the throttle body which i had already replace three years back, the 2 cam position sensors and crank position sensor. I recently found out that there is a recall on the cam position sensors and crank position sensor. I'm hoping thatmy vin# is part of that recall. The second issue i have been having with this car is the radio and temperature control. That i recently had changed with the factory radio attached to the temperature control. The radio would stop working. I have no control over the temperature control and the ac unit would turn on by it self. I recently just installed an after market radio. With everything after buying what was required to do a double din conversion and installation. It cost me a good amount of money. Another issue this car has is the seat belt issue. It doesn't retract properly and the passenger side it's a chore just trying to put on the seat belt.

This is a big problem with this engine, they have a excessive oil consumption problem.

There are people that has run their g35 3,000 mile and has damage the engine completely due to the oil consumption problem and infiniti has turn them down. Telling them there is nothing they can do, i think someone should investigate this issue because there is a lot infiniti g35 owner that paid a lot of money for a damage car.

2003 infiniti g35 coupe-loss of engine power while driving followed by "slip" and vrc warning lights coming on.the car just suddenly stopped on the freeway.good thing it's a manual tranmission and i could coast to the side.i was lucky not to get into an accident . Tests reveal both cam sensors need to be replaced.i have seen numerous reports like this yet no recall is being produced.this is almost as bad as the toyota accelaration problem.
I was driving on the freeway and the car stopped. I had the car towed to a mechanic and he informed me that the cam shaft sensor and crank shaft sensor has gone bad. There was a nissan recall associated with this defect and they refuse to repair the defect.

Oil consumption, infiniti g35 coupe.it appears that the engine consumes a lot of oil after 1,000 miles, occurs all the time.i keep adding oil and checking continuously.this has been happening since i've owned the vehicle.
Engine became inoperable while driving causing a major safety issue. Several warning lights came on simultaneously (check engine light, slip light, vdc light) at the time. Car was able to be restarted with some trouble. Problem repeated itself (stalling, loss of power, starting difficulty) over next couple days, although warning lights never went off. Independent mechanic identified problem as cam position sensor failures & advised there was a nhtsa safety recall (nhtsa campaign id 03v455000) for the problem with 2003 g35s, but that my vin was outside the campaign recall vins. He suggested i contacted infiniti. I contacted both dealer and infiniti national customer service who acknowledged there was a cam position sensor problem with 2003 g35s, but because my vin was not in the campaign they refused to do anything to address the safety issue. I had the dealerreplace the cam position sensors at my expense (about $1500). There are a number of similar complaints filed with the nhtsa about this problem with no apparent resolution with infiniti. The recall campaign 03v455000 needs to be extended to cover all problem vehicles.
My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan experiences intermittent failure of the control panel for operation of the a/c, radio, etc. Because of this electrical problem, the engine throttle is unable to be reset. It idles at 1000 rpm and does not reduce rpms when slowing or stopping the vehicle. This causes a shaking of the vehicle.while this make, model, and year vehicle do appear on a recall list, the vin number is out of range so the dealer will not repair the vehicle.
1 week ago i've noticed a sudden degrade in performance. The car is providing 1/2 as much power as usual, but no warning lights or gauges revealed anything. Inspected obvious things like fuel, oil level and purity.2 days ago*vehicle for the first time suddenly stalled while driving, and was hard to start again. It took almost 1 minute to restart. Check engine light activated.car continued to be hard to start after instances that it was shut off.last night:*vehicle stalled again while driving on the freeway, during my delivery of the vehicle to the dealership to investigate this issue.this is a very dangerous problem, i'm lucky no one crashed into me.

As i was accelerating to access highway, i was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if i was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when i was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as i was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while i waited and it suddenly shut down. When i restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. I checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas. Filled up my tank and a few hours later check engine light went out. Today the car died as i was pulling into my driveway, however immediately restarted. Researched recall information and contacted infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of nhtsa campaign number 03v455000.

While driving in traffic, car dies without warning, dash sensor reflect slip, vdc off, check engine soon light up, drove less than mile and dies again suddenly, 3rd time happens next day in car and almost collision due to lack of control of steering and car stopping, car narrowly misses hitting me from behind, determine recall 03v455000 for this issue but infiniti states my vin # not registered to this recall, told by repair shop that it is cam sensors and infiniiti aware of problem but hasn't linked vins to recall, does someone have to die to get corrected???
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While the contact was driving approximately 35 mph, with the air conditioner and radioactivated, suddenly the air conditioner blower and radio became inoperable without warning.

1) car has been meticulously cared for. At 44,450 miles, the engine dies unexpectedly while going at 25mph. Engine cranks roughly for a long time at start, but starts eventually. I get the "check engine light", "vdc off" and "slip" light on. 2) the error was associated to "camshaft position sensor". Since the start of this condition, engine dies atleast once every drive - mostly at low rpm, but twice at 25 and 40 mph resulting in near collisions! i called infiniti and they mentioned that my particular vin has no recalls associated with it for this condition - but i clearly see a 630,000 car recall for this condition under engine & engine cooling with nhtsa id# 03v455000. 3) the dealership is willing to repair for $105/hr for something that is clearly a vehicle defect. They will change the camshaft position sensor.

I just bought a used 2003 infiniti g35 a few months ago. I believe i am the fourth owner. It has run immaculate until the last couple weeks. For some reason the air conditioning system takes itself into auto mode and the radio lights go out, along with the rest of the lights on the panel that control the ac functions.i cannot use any of those buttons to change anything.the radio continues to work and i can still use the steering wheel controls to adjust the radio, but i can no longer see the lights that tell what station it's on nor adjust anything from the panel. The ac goes out of manual mode into auto mode, which if i understand it correctly, auto is a normal function, adjusting itself to maintain whatever temperature you have it set at, but the fact that i cannot change it back to manual mode, nor anything else on my own after it goes in that mode, and turns out the panel lights, makes me think this is not right.thank god it is defaulting to on as it is summertime and over 90 degrees outside, but still gets very cold and is loud at full blast.however, if this were winter months, this would be a safety issue as there would be no way to defrost my windows and obviously cause serious discomfort in having freezing cold air blow on you in the middle of winter.i have seen several other complaints/technical services bulletins about this on mycarstats.com and wonder if there is already a recall on this.some folks have stated something about a voluntary recall relating to the circuit board... Others have stated a voluntary recall for the equipment relating to this but only included the recall on certain vin numbers.i haven't yet called the manufacturer, which i will do, but am hoping that this is covered by the manufacturer as in my opinion it is a safety concern and has been complained about by several infiniti owners.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving 40 mph the vehicle stalled without warning. The manufacturer advised the contact that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id 03v455000, engine and engine cooling, and would not offer any assistance with the repairs.

First defect:when i would start my car the lights would go out and the radio, heating and cooling buttons. The fan would come onto high and switch to airconditioning. I could not turn it down or turn it off or turn on my defroster when it was 30 degrees in the morning which made my visibility very poor. The only way to get this to stop was to pull the fuses.we check the recall history and found that it was only a courtesy recall and wouldn't be covered even after reading that hundreds of g35 owners were all having the same problem.we had to have the radio electronics removed from the car and sent out to be fixed.i think this issue would be consisted a safety issue when you don't have heat or a defroster.second defect: the problem started while the car was idling and it would stall. Then 3 days later while driving at 50mph the car tried to stall and it lost all power and then the dash lights came on indicating service needed. The car seem to lack power. Did a recall check and found that all the conditions pointed to the cam shaft position censor failing.we checked the vin# and of course my car isn't one that is on their recall list for the same problem they have on other g35 models.this could be a serious safety issue causing an accident when you stall and have no control of your vehicle going down the highway.every issue i have had with my car has been on the companies recall list but not my vin # for some reason. This issue to need to reviewed and corrected.third defect: we have had to have the motor replaced twice in the drivers door that operates the electric window. Now the right door window is not working. If it does open it will get stuck and we have trouble getting it to come up. We have to keep it locked to avoid it being opened.

I own a 6-speed manual transmission and the car is consuming a tremendous amount of engine oil. I am pouring two quarts of oil in it every 3 - 4 days. At this point, the oil is leaking into the combustion chamber producing white fumes out the tailpipe. I reached out to infiniti?s consumer affairs department with the issue and they advised me to take the car in to an authorized infiniti service center for evaluation. I then took the car to an infiniti service center and told the service rep my car complaint. His immediate response was that the manual transmissions do consume a lot of oil. After the car's evaluation, the service rep told me that the entire engine block would need to be replaced because of damaged or worn piston rings. I asked the service rep what could cause a sophisticated, expensive machine to require a motor replacement after only 126k miles. The service rep replied that it could be due to infrequent oil changes and/or driving the car for long periods without oil both of which do not apply to me. I then reached out to the infiniti consumer affairs department for some resolution to what i would consider a travesty and was told that there was absolutely nothing that they could do to assist me in this matter citing two reasons - (1) not being a loyal customer of infiniti because my last service visit was in 2009 and (2) the vehicle is way outside the manufacturer's warranty.i then did some research online to see if i was the only person with this car that was experiencing the same problem. I found numerous postings, most of which claim that nissan is fully aware of the issue, but they are taking no responsibility for the issue.
The cam shaft position sensor went out on my infinity g35 causing a complete loss of power and almost caused a wreck. There is a recall on that year, but when i contacted infinity, they said that my model was not affected by the recall. Apparently that model has the defect. The refused to repair it.
Pulled into a parking lot when the engine stopped running all of a sudden.the power steering also went out. Everything else including the electrical seemed to still work.service engine soon, "slip" and "vdc off" lights displayed on the dashboard immediately.this seems to be related to nhtsa campaign id # 03v455000.i called the manufacturer who informed me my vin was not within the range of this recall.searching online reveals other owners whose vins are not within the range also have had this issue.it seems to me this recall should be re-investigated and reevaluated as this is a serious danger to the public (imagine this happening on a freeway which has happened to other owners).

Vehicle would randomly stall out at 50 mph+ and control of power steering would be lost (battery light & vdc light would come on dash), rendering the vehicle a dangerously fast moving lead sled. Power to the vehicle would resume after a few moments. Many trips to the dealership about this potentially deadly problem yielded no explanation or fix for the problem. After conducting my own research on the internet, it was finally determined to be caused by a malfunctioning crank shaft sensor. The sensor would get too hot and shut down, causing the loss of power to the vehicle. After a few seconds of cooling, power would resume. Apparently a tse bulletin was issued for this problem, but it did not include the vin for my car since it was produced later in the model year. The sensor (a $40 cost part!) was replaced free of charge at the dealership only after putting up a fight. Infiniti/nissan needs to re-evaluate the scope of affected vehicles involved in this potentially deadly issue or be held responsible should someone die when their car stalls out at 65mph.

1) called the dealership and was told there is a technical bulletin on how to fix the problem but it wasn't a recall and will cost approx. $800 due to a malfunctioning of a circuit board. 2) the climate control and radio are inoperable about every other time we start the car. I read current recalls for this exact problem for the sedan and not the coupe. I just don't understand that. I know there are other's with the same issue. Hope this become a recall soon.
I was driving on the road and my car lost all power.my camshaft position sensor had to be replaced, but the dealer said it was not covered under the recall campaign03v45500 which was for this exact problem.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash. Infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition. Infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem. Infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.it is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
Owned a 2003 infiniti i35.it began to stall while running, at interstate speeds, street speeds, at stop lights.mechanic thought it was the battery but problems continued.we sold vehicle due to issues and needing reliable vehicle.two months after selling it, our other 2003 infiniti, a g35 coupe, began having the same issues.took to infiniti dealer and they stated the error was p0340 and cam shaft sensor needed to be replaced, $600.i did research and found there was a recall but was told by dealer my vin did not fit within recall numbers.in a short amount of research on web, i found probably 10-15 other owners of g35 coupes that have this issue and infiniti is saying, sorry, but your vin is not included in recall.i called infiiniti, they stated that exactly and there was no remedy other than paying for repair ourselves.it is a scary, dangerous defect that obviously was not corrected, or another issues arose, with the recall.a g35 coupe is a small, low-riding car, and i have a child in the back.if you are going at interstate speed with a semi on your tail and your car stalls, your child in the back, and possibly yourself, would not survive this crash.infiniti said, yes, they did have similar complaints, but still would not remedy.i asked if a person has to die before they admit there is a defect that needs to be fixed.unfortunately we no longer have the i35 to prove that had the same issue.we are getting the g35 repaired before someone gets killed but i am furious that this is not a covered repair by infiniti.i will try to retain the part to the g35.
Vehicle would randomly stall out at 55 mph+ and control of power steering is lost (battery light & vdc light would come on dash),no control of car.many complaints on same issue.
The car is a 2003 infiniti g35. My wife was crossing an intersection when the car just stopped. Traffic coming the other way had to also stop to avoid an accident. She was able to start the car and get it going again, only for it to stop running one more time before getting home. I pulled the diagnostic codes from the car. It failed with a p0345 crankshaft position sensor a circuit bank 2. This sensor had a voluntary replacement from infiniti on the same year model car, except our vin number falls just outside of the range. I truly believe that should be expanded, as this can cause a fatal accident should it fail at the wrong time. The car dies, which means you lose the power steering and brakes. I will replace the sensors as the dealer i spoke with would not cover it under the voluntary replacement due to the vin not being covered. There are 4 of these sensors on this car so there is a potential for failure. Please look into getting the recall for this part expanded to cover all cars. There is too much at stake to not do that.

This is regarding my infiniti g35 sedan.while driving my vehicle on the highway, the engine suddenly stopped and all the dashboard lights came on.i pulled the car over to the shoulder and started the car again.at this point, the service engine soon light came on.i was able to drive to an infiniti dealer 5 miles away, with the engine stopping during operation several times.fortunately there was no crash and nobody was injured or other damage.at the dealer, they diagnosed the problem as a fault crank position sensor, which was a known issue on my car.however, my vin was not part of the previous recall campaign (01v35700) for this issue.the dealer serviced my vehicle by replacing the crank position sensor assembly at a cost of $334.65.i have contacted infiniti and they were unwilling to reimburse my service under the earlier recall campaign.i am writing to notify nhtsa of this incident so it is in your database.i am also requesting that you review the incidents of failed crank position sensors in infiniti cars and consider reinitiating a recall campaign.
Today, i found 2003 infiniti g35 sedan leak oil into spark plug hole. Oil leak into the spark hole would cause engine fire with high voltage from ignition coils. I also found this issue was not limited to my vehicle but most of infiniti/nissan vehicles had this problem. I believe nissan already has known this issue. I hope nhtsa would do something for all of nissan/infiniti vehicle owners.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe. The contact was driving 50 mph when the vehicle stalled without warning. After two to three attempts, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 101,000.
My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan has an oil consumption issue. Everytime ido an oil change, about 1000 to 1200 miles i check my oildip stick. It is half way below the full mark. I have repeated done this procedure over 10 times already and have read that this is a common issue with infiniti and nissan.
My friend and i are driving through atlanta on i-285 and my2003 infiniti g-35 stops instantly causing us to almost have a serious crash possibly killing ourselves and others, i had my car taken to an auto salon and the diagnostics equipment read cam or crank sensor malfunction, i called 2003infinitiservices due to a recall on this car with this problem and the recall informed customers to be cautious of this problem because it could cause engine to shut off without warningfor 2003 models, well i contacted them andthe infiniti representative explained that my car did not make the 2003 recall since my car was manufactured in 2002 of january, as if the same problem does not exist.
Ran hot, had towed, needs long block, manuf had replaced short block 20,000 miles ago. Manuf said they would cover and told dealership to order long block. Manuf calls back a week later and said they would not cover.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving approximately 70 mph, the engine stalled and the service engine soon, vdc off, and the flip warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart after numerous attempts. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who stated that the crank sensor and cam shaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling).the approximate failure mileage was 165,380.
No radio or heat controls.
2003 infiniti g35.the radio, a/c, & heat controls go out due to a terrible mistake by the engineers in routing the radio and climate controls to one circuit board.living in the mid-west this is a huge issue because i cannot defrost my windows when it's snowing.infiniti issued a voluntary recall, but most likely missed around 90,000 cars.this is a large problem and they do nothing, it's a huge safety risk.
The hvac controls on my g35 intermittently stop working making it impossible to operate the air or defroster. There was a recall associated with this but infiniti refuses to repair the vehicle.
2003 g35 sedan central console a/c, selected lights, and audio controls stopped working suddenly.cannot control heat/defrost/air conditioning. Caused windows to fog up quickly impairing visual field while driving on highway.this is very hazardous because of its unexpected and unpredictable onset.
Ac/tape deck/radio/cd player controls quit working.ac unit will not turn off.none of the audio controls will turn on.
Per g35 sedan recall my '...audio and temperature controls may, on occasion, not operate as expected....".my equipment failed multiple times.there is a voluntary recall for this problem on the g35 sedan but not the g35 coupe.the mfg'r. States that coupe is not covered even though i have the same problem.my g35 has/had the identical problem and they replaced my circuit board at a cost of $649.88 (parts and labor). I believe the g35 coupe should have same recall as the g35 sedan.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash.infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition.infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem.infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.i have 2 other friends that are having the same problem with their 2003 g35 infiniti's, also not covered by the service bulletin. It is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
Loss of controls to 03 g35 radio/ac/heat.initial power failure only affected console controls and wheel controls still worked for radio control.about a month later the wheel controls went as well.entire blower for ac/air and heat is gone.entire console kit and stereo had to be replaced.old stereo was retained.
Dash panel that controls the stereo, cd, heater, ac, etc does not function properly. The ac does not shut off, whereas all the other devices does not turn on.
Electrical control panel: heat/ defrost/ radio and cd/tape. Intermittent operation was reported to infiniti dealer in 2008. At the present time (oct. 2010), the control panel istotally inoperable as of the beginning of october 2010. There is no way of controlling the ac/defrost/temperature. The audio/ climate system was inspected and confirmed that the circuitry has internal failure. This has posed a hazard since there is no way of controlling the defrost and fan to unfog the windows.there was a voluntary recall in 2004, however i had not been notified. Several similar complaints have been blogged. Dealer will replace unit for approximately $550.00 at owner's cost. However, it appears that it is a defect by the manufacturer.
My 2003 infiniti g-35 radio went out will not come on at all. My a/c comes on whenever i turn the car on and i can not turn it off.my passenger side window won't go upand the passenger side seat will not stop moving even after i have let go of the buttons. It folded my passenger like a sandwich. When i took it to the infiniti dealer the salemans said that the audio system installed in my years make and model number was defected and they were aware that the life of this system would only last about five years.
The a/c comes full blast at a very cold temperature. We are not able to turn it off or turn it down. We are not able to use the radio either. All the radio and temperature controls are not functioning. After a lot of research i found, that this is the same exact problem that was in the voluntary service campaign that inifiniti had back on feb 13, 2003 el03-003reference, itb03-007. Nhtsa# 10001253 or 10001162 or 10001246. This service campaign involved the replacement of the audio finisher circuit board. Our car was built in jan 03 and was not covered under this recall is what i am being told, because it only covered 2003 g35 sedans manufactured through 8-21-02. This car should also be covered under this service campaign. Since it is the exact same problem and apparently they did not fix the problem when this car was built. This voluntary service campaign should have been extended to all the 2003 models.
My infiniti g 35 first began having problems with the cd player. It no longer works, but has now progressed to the radio and ac or heater freezing up.it occurs more frequently as time goes on.the safety issue is that i can not control the defrost or heat when it freezes.it happens when i am driving and yesterday the heater on the car turned itself up to 90 degrees with the blower at full blast.my daughter is a college student and i am concerned that when she drives back home on weekends that she will not be able to control the defroster this winter.we never know when this will happen and would hate for her to be on the interstatein the middle of no where and not be able to use the defroster.we also never know if the air or heat will turn to its low or high with the blower at full speed.several car mechanics have mentioned that this is a well known problem with the 2003 infiniti g 35's. On the internet there are numerous websites with many complaints on this issue as well.
On my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe, the a/c started blowing on high no controls. The radio won't work.
Infiniti g35 heater and ac controls are inoperative which can be dangerous when driving in the winter if defrosters don't work!
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. Upon starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the air conditioning system and radio failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000. Updated 09/21/15*lj
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?
My ac/bose stereo system is inoperable. I cannot turn the system on at all. The a/c is also stuck on and i can't control it.
Cd got stuck in cd player. Radio started cutting in and out. Then thedash panel that controlled the stereo, cd, heater, ac, etc does not function properly. The a/c does not shut off, whereas all the other devices do not turn on. I can still use the controls on the steering wheel but the other controls on the dash (except navigation) stop working.
The contact owns a 2003 infinity g35. The contact was driving 55 mph when the defroster, air conditioner and radio failed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer but the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 140,000 and the current mileage was 151,000.
Electrical issues auto a/c stays on none of the console buttons work. Stereo doesn't work 3rd brake light went out. Bose sound is not working. I have not got t fixed it yet.
The system controlling the ac and the radio completely stopped working and there is no longer any way to control it. All the power windows quit working as well. With so many reports would be nice if infiniti took some responsibility and addressed the issues.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35.the contact stated that when activating the heat, the air conditioner would activate erroneously.the automatic air condition would not shut off and the defroster was inoperable.the dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 85,000 and the current mileage was 110,500.
Air conditioning blasts at all times that car engine is running. No way to control, lower or change the a/c defroster, heat or defogger. Radio panels are similarly "blacked out" meaning they are not within the control of the operator. Multiple safety complaints have been issued regarding this problem and the dealership has advised similar owners it will be $4,000 to rectify this problem. This is largely a safety concern. I have notified my insurance company of this issue as when toyota's were recalled and people were injured it was the insurance company, (state farm) that realized the severity of the situation first.

Noise coming from engine when air-conditioning is on. Seemed to get louder.took into dealer, assumed it would be covered under warranty. Had 60,000 warranty was at 54,000. Also gas tank not showing full when filling up. Both repairs totaled 1100.00 aproximately felt at 54,000 miles these should not have happened. I bought the car used and was told i had the remainder of factory warranty which was 4 years/60,000. I was not aware the first sale date was late 2002 apparently.
Radio/ac went out and are malfunctioning.i started my car and when turning on the radio the ac went to auto ac and went up to level 5 with out any warning. My radio followed by not working. All lights on the radio ac console went out and i am unable to control either from steering wheel or console. The audio finisher circuit board will have to be replaced.over 1700 complaints found related to this topic with 2003 g35 infiniti's.
My audio and climate control system have completely stopped working. I have no control of the rear or front defroster which is a serious safety hazard. Infiniti issued a recall for the problem however my car wasn't covered even though it is the exact same problem.
My infiniti car's(g35 2003) radio/ac controls have failed. I can onlyoperate the radio from my steering wheel control.( cannot operate the ac/heater. Luckily it is winter time andis stuck in auto mode at 68 f) it seems that infiniti had a recall for audio controller card failure in 2003 -itb03-007b service campaign -voluntary service campaign 2003 infiniti g35 sedan; audio finisher circuit board for about 26 000 vehicles, but, based on no of complaints floating on the web, there are lot more cars which are facing this problem. Prior to this problem i have had the cd error fo problem ( complete cd failure). Infiniti has installed faulty radio/cd system and they have taken their customers for a big ride! the nhtsa should take this up seriously asthis failure could potentially can be fatal , especially when driving in extreme conditions-hot or cold weather , with small kids/infants, in an isolated region.
The ac and radio controls basically none of the dashboard controls are working including defroster which is big safety hazard and as per infiniti dealership its a radio and circuitboard issues. After looking at internet i have found that there was a recall campaign (voluntary service campaign 2003 infiniti g35 sedan; audio finisher circuit board) for this issues ->itb03-007b service campaign -> issue description listed below available on the internet. But infiniti dealer is not accepting any recall on this ground and they are asking for 1300+ bucks to fix this issue. Can someone please help as i can live without ac and climate controls but not without defroster. Also its a trouble that ac auto turns on at full blown speed which cause too much cold in winter and its a health risk for myself and family including 2 kids.description from internet - on some model year 2003 g35 sedans manufactured through august 21, 2002, the audio and temperature controls may not operate as expected. When using the audio equipment or the temperature controls, the unit may become inoperative. In some cases, this can be corrected by turning the ignition switch off and back on again. In other cases, the unit remains inoperative and requires service by an infiniti technician. To prevent this condition, infiniti has initiated a voluntary service campaign to replace the audio finisher circuit board on these vehicles. Use infiniti net to confirm if a specific vehicle is affected by this service campaign (p3104).
My ac/bose stereo system is inoperable. I cannot turn the system on at all. The a/c is also stuck on and i can't control it.
The radio will not come on. Cannot operate ac or heater. No defrost. Cannot operate from steering wheel. Stereo cd player not working.
I have a 2003 infiniti g35.the center console, controlling the heater/ac and the radio is not working.i was told that there is a control board problem that infiniti is not claiming, yet according to the web, there are several complaining of the same problem.
1) failure of the a/c and audio controller - audio circuit board issue2) driver power seat doesn't work - issue with track motors and trails3) cd changer stopped working with cd stuck in the player.
My 2003 infinity g35 has an electrical problem with the radio which causes the climate control system to freeze up defroster will not work front or rear causing fogging when temperature changes this impairs my vision and creates a dangerous condition infinity will not do anything to fix this they recalled some vehicles so their aware of this condition.
Radio/ac went out and are malfunctioning.i started my car and when turning on the radio the ac went to auto ac and went up to level 5 with out any warning. My radio followed by not working. All lights on the radio ac console went out and i am unable to control either from steering wheel or console. The audio finisher circuit board will have to be replaced.over 1700 complaints found related to this topic with 2003 g35 infiniti's.
My 2003 infinity g35 sedan's heater will stay on high with the radio and heating control removed.i can access the radio through the stereo, but have no dashboard controls of the radio or ac at all. Dealership wants "pre-paid" a $700 audio finisher/circuit board. When the part came in, they would install it, and if the radio/cd player was defective, it would fry the finisher immediately, but then they would know that the radio was bad, and would send it out for a re-build for approximately $350 and two weeks worth of waiting with no tunes or ventilation system. Plus labor, of course.
Cd player stopped working, unable to retrieve cd's, error message. Later radio and a/c controls went out. Check engine soon light came on and speedometer not working. Called infiniti in sarasota, was told to bring car in, i did. Happened again within a few months, was told by infiniti they could not find anything wrong, they reset sensor. A few months later, radio went out again, a/c at 60 degrees, cannot lower temperature, cannot turn on/off from dashboard; radio works from the steering wheel only. Problem caused battery to go dead, called aaa, was told something draining battery; told of electrical problems, advised electrical problem maybe the reason. Once battery purchased, advised again battery may go out due to electrical problem draining battery. Went online, found numerous complaints. Called infiniti again, told my vin # may not be listed. Cost approximately $1,200.00 or more to fix this problem. Called infiniti/nissan corporate office, told my vin number not on recall list. Informed them of problem, purchase of new battery due to electrical problem, and what may happen again regarding new battery. Rep advised nothing they can do.told i can pay, and if a recall later with my vin number , i can be reimbursed with proof of repair with infiniti.as of this writing, i am still unable to turn on/off defrost, heater, a/c, cd player, cassette player, or radio; none of the controls on dashboard are operable. This is dangerous in so many ways in terms of road safety; defrost not working (unable to defrost windows for vision while driving); draining battery; hazardous due temperature controls that can cause a person to freeze while in my car, and a financial hardship.i pray an investigation initiated due to electrical problems by manufacturer, not caused by the consumer; that the resolution is fair and just for all, and not just by selected vin numbers only.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe. The contact stated that the radio, air and heater failed. The contact stated that the circuit board behind the bose radio system caused the failure. The contact stated that the system would fail sporadically before eventually becoming completely inoperable. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 100,000.
Rear speaker making noise.
2003 infiniti g35 with a recall on the engine. Customer states that the dealer told her that her car was not included in the recall even though the symptoms were the same. Dealer refused to fix it unless she paid 11,000 dollars to fix it.the dealer informed the consumer the engine shut down because the piston broke causing it to hit the engine which put a hole in the engine block. The consumer had a used engine put in the vehicle on july 24, 2006 but, one year later the engine failed. The consumer stated she has hadnumerous problems with the brakes, the driver's seat made a constant noise, the 6 cd changer malfunctioned and ceased to operate and the window motor was replaced.

Air conditioning blasts at all times that car engine is running. No way to control, lower or change the a/c defroster, heat or defogger. Radio panels are similarly "blacked out" meaning they are not within the control of the operator.

The audio and temperature controls become inoperable because of a known issue with the audio finisher circuit board. My temperature was stuck at 90 degrees at maximum output, with no possible way to shut it off. There was a voluntary recall for 2003 g35 sedans with this issue (infiniti recall # p31040), but not for coupes. From online research, there appears to be numerous cases where the same issue has occurred on 2003 g35 coupes, but infiniti refuses to accept responsibility for repairs, because the vin #'s were not part of the original recall. I believe this is a safety defect that constitutes a recall for any g35 model with this known issue.
2003 infiniti g35 sedan battery was dead after not starting vehicle for more than 3 days.the cd player is the culprit and the "eject" continues to cycle even with the car turned off.this is the second time in 4 months that the new battery is dead after sitting for a few days.
The system controlling the ac and the radio completely stopped working and there is no longer any way to control it. All the power windows quit working as well. With so many reports would be nice if infiniti took some responsibility and addressed the issues.
The car was bought without the knowledge that the cd player would not eject or take any cd's; this information was not divulged by the seller, bob moore motors of oklahoma city, ok.after having the car for a little over a month, the entire center console (ac controls and radio controls) became unresponsive.the car now emits 90 air on auto ac, forcing me to drive with my window down at all times.in addition, i am unable to turn on the radio or tape player with either the center console buttons or those on the steering wheel.the radio is a raw deal but not my biggest concern.i live in kansas and when it is not very hot (not looking forward to seeing what 90 auto ac feels like in the summer) it is very windy and it makes it difficult to drive with the constant wind noise.i am nervous to drive the car altogether because i do not trust the entire electrical system anymore and am afraid i will get stuck somewhere.
I own a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan and the rear (third) brake light, which is led has an intermittent flicker to the point that it does not even function at times.i can only notice this at night time (when the reflection of the rear window is more visible) so i can only assume that it does it all the time.
The third brake light of 2003 infiniti g35 sedan is out.
My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan has a malfunctioning 3rd brake light.the light has stopped working on my car a few months ago.when i informed the dealership, i was told that they could fix it for a fee.i have spoken with many owners of this car on forums and in person, and many complain of the same problem.the 3rd brake light works intermittently or not at all.i think this is a manufacturer defect but infiniti does not agree.my model does not have a spoiler.this is a safety issue and many owners i spoke with feel this is not something that they should pay for.
3rd brake light was out causing failed state inspection.once i researched the problem, it was learned that many similar vehicles had the same issue.i was not aware of the issue since the light is behind the rear glass of the vehicle, so i do not know how long i was driving around without a rear brake light causing a safety hazard.
The third brake light on the rear window deck fails to work intermittently creating a situation where vehicles following may not realize that our vehicle is braking. This creates a concern for my safety as well as my childrens safety. This is a very frequent problem with infiniti vehicles of this make but infiniti will not acknowledge the problem.
2003 infiniti g35 sedan 3rd brake light prematurely fails works sporadically. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails to illuminate at allnothing has been done thus far. I will pursue fixing this issue myself if infiniti will not cover this as a defective part.
Rear middle tail light on my 2003 infiniti g35 sedan goes out. Or stays out for quite a while. Very dangerous as i do not know when it works or not.
Led third brake light fails to light. Apparently this is a very common issue with the 2003- 2004 g35 and is caused by a faulty chip. An aftermarket company is repairing the brake light boards as infiniti is charging over $400 for the repair and denies it is a problem.here is a link to about 50 people so far that have reported this issue. Http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sedan-v35-2003-06/356572-group-effort-push-3rd-brake-light-recall-read-if-yours-out.html.
Third brake light is out and will not work on this vehicle. The old part is still available.
High mount "third" brake light on infiniti g35 (03 to ?) seem to be going out frequently resulting in very very costly repairs considering its only a light.the design requires removal of the seat costing $500+.a simple, safely related problem should not be so difficult to address and infiniti should be responsible for the poor design of a safety related system and pay for the repairs.
The complete console lighting has gone out in my car. It only works when the exterior lights are off. Not able to drive at night and difficult to drive during daylight due to not being able to see the speedometer. Very much a safety issue.
Third brake light inside of car stops working prematurely. No wing on my car. Just interior third brake light. It is led so it should last for decades. It makes it hard for other people to see when i press the brakes on my car. I bought an original factory replacement part for about $200. Old part is available.
This is in regards to an ongoing problem with infiniti g35 coupe's and sedans. Many g35 owners all over the country including my hometown arizona, have had many problems with their third brake light (in the rear view window) not displaying when the brake is engaged. There have been many complaints to the manufacture but nothing has been done. I figured this is a step for not just other owners to realize the problem but to have it announced nation wide so we are not at fault for the faulty product. We don't want to be pulled over for not having a non working third brake like or even cause a crash due to someone not seeing a brake light in the center. As a owner of infiniti g35 coupe there has been many components that need addressing to but there is only so much that the owners are able to do. I write you this in order to have another word that is higher up the just an average joe owner complaining about there product. This is a faulty part that us as owners should not be a fault for in any means. I hope that this helps in the sense of getting the issue resolved and having the roads safe knowing there is a third brake light engaging and lighting up for other drivers to see.thanks
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe.the contact stated that the exterior tail lights were inoperative.the dealer and the manufacturer was notified of the failure but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileage was approximately 104,000.
2003 infiniti g35 coupe third brake light failure - replaced twice and still failing within a year. $235 replacement part plus labor is bleeding me dry for a part i need to stay legal and safe. Infiniti does not care that they have manufactured a defective part made with leds which should last significantly longer than halogen bulbs but does not.
03-06 infiniti g35 sedans have issues regarding the rear, center high-mount brake light.the units are prone to premature led failure, as well as the entire unit not working at all, or working only infrequently due to some sort of wiring or circuit board issue.not only does this issue exist on my own car (2003 g35 sedan) but i have witnessed the same problem on several other g35 sedans.because this issue comes and goes, and the light may stop working and then start again randomly, it is very possible for someone to be unaware of the issue on their vehicle.this is also very much a safety concern, as it increases the chance that another vehicle approaching from the rear will not notice the brake lights without the center light, resulting in a greater chance of collisions.
I was entering onto the highway and my entire defrost / ac / radio cluster failed. The ac came on full blast, replacing the defrost!!!i had to pull over and park the car due to the safety factor of not being able to run my defrost.the issue is the ac, defrost, and radio stack controls stop working.there is no way to get them to work once the problem occurs.there has been a recall on this for g35''s built in 2002 for the 2003 model year.my g35 was built in 2002 but when i called infiniti they said my ''engine is the wrong model'' infiniti needs to fix this thru recall as this is a major safety issue concerning the defrost.i can only imagine if my 17 year old daughter had been driving and the defrost went out.i could have been a very rich man at the expense of my daughters life.i have read where thousands of g35 owners are having the same issue.i don''t think any daughters life is worth the price to fix this already well documented issue.infiniti needs to step to the plate.they already know of the issue but have turned a blind eye.i envision infiniti getting blasted by law suits because this will kill someone.when that happens, infiniti will not have a leg to stand on.the issue is too well documented for infiniti to say they didn't know.
Third brake light in my 2003 infiniti g35 is no good . Im scared i can get into a accident because of it, i feel nissan/infiniti should recall this problem. I am a member of a online infiniti forum and several people have the same problem with this same car model and year.
Center mount/third brake light is completely out despite the attempts made to fix the led's. Also had somehow caused my regular brake lights to go completely out.that seems to be repaired (faulty relay switch?), but since this was a safety issue i had asked infiniti to "goodwill" the repair cost ($221), but it was denied.
Electrical issues auto a/c stays on none of the console buttons work. Stereo doesn't work 3rd brake light went out. Bose sound is not working. I have not got t fixed it yet.
Im currently having trouble with my center console losing power to my ac and radio.the problems range from center console display shortages, ac blasting at full strength and being unable to change the setting, to the radio intermittently putting out sound. This problem has led to safety issues with the car in that the inability to control the ac results in fogged over windshields leading to poor visibility.i've read online that this problem affects many owners of the same car. It was such a problem that infiniti recalled the '03 g35 sedan for the exact same problems.it is embarrassing that inifiniti does not stand by their product across the board. If they acknowledged that it was a problem in the sedan why are they not responsible for fixing the same problem in the two door model.would like to know how this problem may be remedied.
The third brake light (in the rear window) of the 2003 g35 sedan went out recently. At first, only half of the six were out, but then all of them went out. I've repaired it by ordering replacement leds for the light and installing those on the board.
2003 infiniti g35 sedan rear "3rd" brake light in rear window inop multiple times. Repeat problem known of multiple similar infiniti g35 sedans. Has happened twice to one mentioned above. Resulting in non-proper brake lighting.
Brake-light failure on a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe.this is a common problem experienced by numerous g35 owners.the 3rd brake-light on the rear windshield works intermittently.
Center brake light stopped working. Impossible to replace.
My third brake light went out so i went to the dealer to purchase a replacement led lamp. The price of the lamp was $185.00! the parts department said they are very difficult to replace as you have to remove both the trunk lining and rear seat to replace the led lamp. The labor to replace the lamp is $200.00!i have since noticed that about one half of the infiniti g35 and g37 models i see on the road have their high mount third brake light inoperative. This is with out a doubt due to the extremely high cost and difficulty to replace what should be a simple replacement lamp.
My third brake light has gone out! flickers and could cause an unwanted accident!
2003 infiniti g35 coupe 3rd brake light is out (inside glass).this is a common issue with the g35.it needs to be brought to nissan of america's attention.this could possibly cause an accident.i have seen that 28 people have filed a complaint to you on my car forum.but i feel that this issue needs to be addressed asap.if it were just one car with the issue then i would gladly pay for it, but since this is a common issue, nissan of america needs to fix this as it was a production issue.
The rear shelf brake light has stopped working. This is an led light that should last a quite a bit longer if not lifetime. Obviously, the car was designed so this part does not have to be replaced. To replace this light, the entire back seat and rear shelf trim and back side trim must be removed. The light itself costs $150.00 and the dealer charges $500.00 to replace it. I have seen numerous 2003 g35s with the non functioning brake light, most likely due to the expensive repair. This is a safety issue and clearly a product defect.
I have a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan, and the third brake light is broken, i am also aware that this is a common problem with g35s.
The third brake light on my car works intermittently. This is the brake light that resides on the rear accessory package on the inside of the cars along with the speakers.the lights are not replaceable in this unit because they are led and have notice many other g35 with the same problem and its an outrageous 125 dollar replacement for something that should last indefinitely since they are leds.
Third brake light out or intermittent.

The third brake light stopped working while driving on a richmond dr. In houston, texas.the direct cause of the malfunction is unknown.
Center brake light failure.
Third brake led lamp stops working and randomly comes back on. This also happens in almost every other g35 sedan i have seen to date.
Vehicle momentarily lost power and dash instrument lights went on (slip, vdc off, service engine soon).the ipdm (intelligent power distribution module) was replaced by the dealer in december 2011 for the same problems.my research revealed that this is a common problem with this model and year.separately, high mount rear stop light no longer works.research indicates this is also a common problem.
Just bought the car in two months and the third light won't work.
My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan's brake back light does not work so i am always so paranoid that someone will rear-end me (that happened once) because they could not see my third brake light. This is a major safety concern and infiniti fails to recognize that this is a faulty problem on their side.
Third brake light intermittently works, no prior accidents, tried changing the bulb, checking fuse/wiring, problem still exists.
There is a known issue with the rear window brake light of the infiniti g35.in 90% of 2003-2004 cars, this issue is known to occur.a non-functioning brake light is a serious safety issue.infiniti has yet to issue a recall.later model years do not suffer as much from this issue.to make things worse, this is not a simple bulb replacement.the g35 has a fancy and expensive led system.a specific diode is known to go bad, which makes this more of a electrical system failure.
2003 g35 sedan, 3rd brake light does not work, it's been off when it was under warranty.it was not fixed.i see many other g35's on the road without their 3rd brake light, i think it's very much a safety problem.there's also no way to know if your 3rd brake light is out or not, unless you have someone following you or looking at you.
The 3rd location brake light in the rear deck area quit working, and there is no easy way to get to it and repair it.it is a led unit, and it appears that it was designed and installed to never fail, because it is very difficult to get to.
I was told that i needed a new air bag and a new module for the brake lamp located in the back window.there was no reason provided as to why these itemsbroke.i think theseweresafety defects.
The heating/defrost/ac unit stops working while driving causing window to fog up during cold weather - back seats are ripping, like brittle.brake light in back window goes off and on, works when it wants to.
Condensation in exterior headlights.headlights not sealed properly.
From the second year after purchase of auto, theheadlight outer plastic cover has become whitish and opaque, limiting the light output of headlight and reducing road illumination, thus providing limited road illumination al night.
Condensation inside headlights.
Problems with vehicle head light switch, when trying to dim the lights they turn off.mr
Ltr behalf of paul reavis (ca) feels the location of the light switch on the 2003 infiniti g35 is dangerous and needs to be corrected. *mr the consumer accidentally turned off the headlights while the vehicle was in motion,due to the inadvertent rotation of the headlight selection control to the next position which was "off.*scc
I own a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe with approximately 75,000 miles on it. On march 3, 2010, i read an article about a recall of nissan and infiniti (qx56) vehicles regarding faulty fuel gauge sending units leading to an improper fuel level being displayed in the vehicle. My g35 has exhibited fluctuations in the fuel gauge since purchasing the vehicle in august of 2009. When the gauge gets to below one-quarter of a tank of gas, the needle slowly bottoms out below the empty line, but i know i have plentiful fuel in the tank. Additionally, when i put additional gas in the tank, the gauge is slow to move above the empty line. I know my g35 is not part of the recall, but i was wondering if this vehicle could also be fitted with faulty sending units and should be considered for a recall as well.
My infiniti had complete transmission failure at only 1,800 miles.infiniti is in the process of replacing the entire transmission and i have had the car only 2 months.after just one week, the car had problems starting, so they had to replace the entire fuel system.
Noise coming from engine when air-conditioning is on. Seemed to get louder.took into dealer, assumed it would be covered under warranty. Had 60,000 warranty was at 54,000. Also gas tank not showing full when filling up. Both repairs totaled 1100.00 aproximately felt at 54,000 miles these should not have happened. I bought the car used and was told i had the remainder of factory warranty which was 4 years/60,000. I was not aware the first sale date was late 2002 apparently.
I would like to go on record as referring the following to nhtsa regarding a recall for my infiniti.i received in the mail from infiniti a recall regarding a fuel filler hose crack.the fuel filler and vapor hoses are to be replaced at the dealer.i live where there is no infiniti dealer but there is a nissan dealer.i contacted the nissan dealer and they said they were aware of the recall and had the parts and can perform the necessary repairs, but can't do it without infiniti approval and authorization.i then called infiniti and they say even though there is a potential fire possibility with my car they will not authorize a nissan dealer to do the repairs.we live 200 miles, 3 hours from the nearest infiniti dealer and will not make that trip, fuel and overnight expenses (as per their recall notice they will require the car for more than 3 hours) for the sole purpose of these repairs.it's hard to believe that nissan america would put a customer of theirs life at risk for the cost of these repairs. As you know, there's no infiniti listed in the vehicle lists on your site, they're listed as nissan america, yet they won't let their own nissan dealership perform safety repairs on their own infiniti automobiles.
Dt*:the contact stated a recall letter# o2v245000 was received. When the vehicle was taken to thenissan dealership to perform the required repairs for the fuel system, the management refused to accepted the vehicle because infinity would not allow them to perform any recall remedy repairs on infinity vehicles.the manufacturer was contacted who reaffirmed the infinity recalls had to be performed by the infinity dealerships only.the nearest dealership from the contacts locality was seven and a half hours away.the contact would not accept such a criteria because infinity was manufactured by nissan.
(1) very often i am unable to fill fuel tank beyond 1/2 full. Tried many fuel sites, can occur at all. Has gotten worse in cold weather-below 50*(for so.cal). It acts like a restriction in the fuel neck but none were found. Must be others with same problem.(2) often have to drive with 1/2 tank only.(3) nothing was found, no charges to me. Even if i wait a minute for possible gas 'foam" to subside,no help.
I am a master mechanic and have worked in the industry since 1969. I also performedacident investigations for merced benz north america. I now own a small repair facility in ca. And in the corse of makeing repairs to three g35 infinitis (years 2003 and 2004) i have found the fuel filler hose cracked and brittle.i have ag35 lnfinity myself and have been keeping track of the problem. My car now has about 10,000 miles on it and the fuel hose is cracking. I have complained of the problem with the dealer and have reported the problem to infinity consumer complaint line. I have been told by the service manage that myg35 has no problem and he's only seen the problem on the fx.i personly reinspected the hose and found a crack, one which also can be felt , is about 1/4" long and half way throught the hose. I am very concerned about this and explained that in the case of a rear end accident the hose could repture, spill fuel and creat a pinto like bomb. I feel that the dealer is putting me off, and that nissian is trying to sweep the problem under the rug and is giving me the run around . I want your agenicy to be aware of the need for a safety hazzard.the fuel hose is not readly seen and i noticed the problem only after haveing removed the rear axle subframe for replacement of a fuel tank. My concern is that the problem is not going to show untill the is a high rate of failer, or worst, untill people start getting injured or killed.

The check engine, the vdc, and the slip warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler hose was cracked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the camshaft sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign numbers: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling) and 05v555000(fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
First off i'm confused by the recall information .i hate having to guess but it's really unclear if the report means that there are no recalls or that they have been fixed aallready.i'm not original owner , i purchased the vehicle and have noticed terrible gasoline smell and leakage..i looked this upand it appears to be an issue the vehicle has had a recall about..i dont know if this has been fixed but i've never had a car with this problem in 30+ years of driving ..and if it has been fixed its obviously leaking again because you can see it on ground and smell it driving it and or parked badly..so what do i do ...you can smell it parked and driving ..it does appear to be leaking out parkedthere is a mid sized puddle under car over night the size of a small tea cup saucer..you can smell this in cabin driving ...the recall says something about this issue but i do not understand if it has or has not been fixed previously ..and if it has and it's doing it again then can it be fixed again..
I spend my last on this car because i love infinity cars that's was my dream car i lost my job over this car now i don't have nothing my car sitting wit this problem i can't even get it fix my dvc n slip light on the car start doesn't moving on gas the gas pedal doesn't pumping the gas it's to much please help me please
I recently bought a used 03 infiniti g35 coupe, the first problem that i found is that when refueling the car shuts the gas pump nozzle off about every 20-30 and happens every time i refuel regardless of what gas station i go to. The second problem is the brakes it's happened to me twice in the last month, both times were driving slow around 5-10mph in the morning when it's cold regardless if i let my car warm up for a few minutes or start up and go.
My car leaks fuel under rear ifi am fueling. The pump shuts off and i have to do a tiny amount at a time. Can only add 2 to 3 gallons of fuel. Car was on recall list for all 7 recalls and vin. Check says all have been fixed by previous owner. The same problems are happening again. You should do another recall.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel started to spew out of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the dealer informed him that the vehicle had been repaired under nhtsa campaign number:05v555000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
2003 infiniti g-35 blown up in driveway and house caught fire.the fire department determined the fire originated inside of the trunk where the trunk light bulb became so hot that the light bulb exploded, the hot particles from the light bulb caught the trunk and the contents in the trunk on fire. The consumer stated she forgot to close the trunk securely.before the fire, the consumer stated she had electrical problems with the window and sunroof.
My g35 and many other g35 owners all seem to have problems with our rear high mount brake light (third brake light inside the back windshield). If that many people are having problems with it, there should be a recall to fix this issue. I've heard even replacement bulbs go out very quickly, similar to the power window motors that always fail even after replacement. This could be very dangerous, especially if the owner of the car is not aware his light went out. Also more costly than it should be.
2003 g35 sedan central console a/c, selected lights, and audio controls stopped working suddenly.cannot control heat/defrost/air conditioning. Caused windows to fog up quickly impairing visual field while driving on highway.this is very hazardous because of its unexpected and unpredictable onset.
Problem started with radio not displaying any lights or script across display.after about a week the radio would not come on until the engine had been running for a few minutes and still would not display any lights the whole time.a few days later the temperature controls stopped being accessible.the buttons for the radio and the temp controls don't work.the temperature now does whatever it wants based on the auto controls.it will randomly change whether the air blows from the floor level or on top, and change force of air that blows out.there is no way of setting defrost.the only way anything can be changed with the radio is through the controls on the steering wheel.around september of the previous year the cd player stopped working as well.it would run constantly as if trying to read the disc even when the keys were out of the ignition and won't ever play.it also won't eject the cds.
Front drivers door only intermittently locks and unlocks using a remote.this problem just started occurring.have 66000 miles on my infinity g-35.problem causes safety concern since you never know if your door is locked or unlocked without manual intervention.
After purchasing the vehicle, i was driving it around for about a week. I came to a stop one day and my oil light came on. I took it to the dealership and asked them to check it. The dipstick is very hard to read, unlike most cars, long story short the dealership changed it. I don't believe that they did when i got it because of the color. Ever since i have been keeping track of the oil consumption issue that i have been having.i have a aftermarket warranty but they are no longer helping me with my issues (or feel as though i am not being helped) with my car at such low milesi have looked and there are several issues with vq35de motors with oil consumption issues that needs to be fixed. I have and am having sever issues with oil consumption. I just has a compression test and i have #'s but i have to call the dealership, they also just did a leak down test to see if it might be the rings just in case the compression test didn't get it.** i now currently burn 1.2 quarts of oil in 800 miles. Was the last and latest oil consumption test that the dealership has run. After passing both tests. The most i have seen my car use is 3qts in 3k. Not goood!i currently have 98895 on the car right now. Please if you can help :) thank you!
The car suddenly had a very poor acceleration, like no power and a "service engine soon" lighted up. Also, the circuit board with temperature controls, does not light up.same the radio ...??
While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions.on several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off.the "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared.i took it to my local infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened.the crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563.03, and infiniti says that without nhtsa telling them to pay for it, they refuse.this car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.
I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when i finished my transaction i tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move.i finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked.it has also happened to me when i have started my car and tried to put it in reverse.it is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my vin # in the recall but they haven't so far.even in the expanded recall.i don't know why.when does our safety become important?my stereo/cd player also stopped working and i had to replace that.what good does all of these repetitive complaints do if the auto companies aren't made to repair all of them?

Copy of what i sent to infiniti via infiniti.com: my 2003 infiniti g35 has been into the orlando infiniti dealership twice for a transmission issue.in the last trip it was at the dealer for eighteen (18) days and the issue is still unresolved.after speaking with the service manager, john, i was told that he called infiniti technical support who stated that the problem is considered normal operation. I would like to know under what circumstances a transmission jerk at around 40 mph is normal, as i have never driven a vehicle that has done this, including the 2007 g35 courtesy car that infiniti loaned to me.if this is considered normal operation, would not all infiniti vehicles exhibit this?on the nhtsa.gov website there are eight (8) pending complaints of owners experiencing transmission problems, and two (2) technical service bulletins listed.also, after speaking with the service manager, john, it has come to my attention that there are other g35 models at this dealership experiencing the same issues; and theirs are also still unresolved.i am asking that i be treated the way a customer should be, as this situation has been handled very unprofessional. I have documentation of all work orlando infiniti performed and i would like this to receive immediate attention as i do not feel safe in a vehicle with transmission problems. Thank you.

I've recently been having issue with the engine where the car stalls. The car start fine when i do a cold start but when the car warms up the car stalls at times. I've been hearing a lot of the stories from other people on different forums where this is a common issue for this model. The culprit are either the throttle body which i had already replace three years back, the 2 cam position sensors and crank position sensor. I recently found out that there is a recall on the cam position sensors and crank position sensor. I'm hoping thatmy vin# is part of that recall. The second issue i have been having with this car is the radio and temperature control. That i recently had changed with the factory radio attached to the temperature control. The radio would stop working. I have no control over the temperature control and the ac unit would turn on by it self. I recently just installed an after market radio. With everything after buying what was required to do a double din conversion and installation. It cost me a good amount of money. Another issue this car has is the seat belt issue. It doesn't retract properly and the passenger side it's a chore just trying to put on the seat belt.
Infiniti g35 coupe driver seat belt defective. I took it to the dealer in fresno ca in oct. 08. They told me it is fine and a few days later it broke at the anchor bolt. I had to toe it back to the dealer at my expense and they replaced the bolt. In oct. When i took the car to that dealer to check the seat belts they told me that the passenger seat belt in front is defective and needs replaced. When we took it back to replace it they told me it is working fine now and does not need replacement. I am worried that the passenger seat might break just like the driver seat belt did a few days after they gave me a clean chit that it was fine.
Consumer states that both front seat belts are not positioned correctly. Dealer notified.
I am a 5'2" female and have a new g35 sport coupe. The seat belt sholder strap cuts into my neck do to the fact the starting point of the seat belt is too far back when i adjust my seat forward in order to reach the foot pedals. I have contacted the dealer and the consumer dept. At infinti and they say there is nothing they can do. If i were to be in an accident, this shoulder belt would surley cut into my neck and cause more harm than good.please advise.
Drivers side seat rocks on braking/turning.i had the car in for an oil change and asked about the seat.the dealer told me they replaced a part in the seat.it helps somewhat but there is still too much play in the drivers seat.it makes you wonder if the seat is actually secured to the car properly, and also in the event of a crash, would the seat hold up appropriately?also the brakes are squealing at 10,000 miles.actually, they've been squealing for the last 4,000 miles.they are starting to make a grinding noise as well sometimes.i haven't been to the dealer about this yet, but it is a concern that the brakes could fail.i previuosly had an expedition and had problems with those brakes as well, but would normally get 20,000 to 25,000 miles out of them.

The driver side seat rocks back and forth. Dealer says i must pay to have replaced for ~$1200. I noticed via internet search this problem has been assigned nhtsa item number - 10016401. Just wanted to add my car to the list.
The driver's seat shifts back and forth on the rails when starting and stopping.as a result, the brake pedal or gas pedal is depressed further than intended.this is most certainly a safety issue.i have contacted infiniti and been told that nissan is aware of the problem but does not have an imminent solution.i need this problem repaired on my vehicle immediately!

Drivers seat "rocks" back and forth, sometimes emitting a "popping" or "clicking" noise, especially when accelerating from a stop or while cornering under normal driving conditions. The movement of the drivers seat while driving the car has caused disruption of normal driving habits, resulting in erratic acceleration and over and understeering. I have found certain adjustments to the seat reduce the movement, but these adjustments make the seat uncomfotable and do not provide the proper sitting position i need to operate the vehicle safely. I see this as a safety issue and have thus notified two seperate infiniti dealerships, both of whom were unable to resolve the problem and one of which made the movement worse during their "inspection" of the faulty seat. I own an infiniti g35 with the premium package, which includes leather upholstery and a full-power drivers seat.
Been having problems lately with the engine light coming on and the slip and vdc light also
My car seat moved all the forward while driving to work in denver metro'bench and back support both pushed me a few inches from the steering wheel. I had to move my leg with my hand to reach the brake pedal. One week later, my car horn began beeping and would not stop while driving. My vdc and brake lights now stay on constantly because the anti skid does not work'i almost wrecked on a snowy highway. The front tires wear exponentially faster than the back tires. I had blowouts two separate times on the interstate. The front windows are now glued shut because they roll down on their own. The airbag light stays on now too. I realize it's an old car; i bought it for $8,000 4 years ago when it had ~95,000 miles. Now it has ~140,000. The level of quick decline is truly frightening though. I don't drive my 2003 infinit g35 any more and am apprehensive to sell it to anyone else. The car i loved is now like driving a horror movie.
The contact owns a 2003 infinity g35 coupe. The contact stated that when accelerating over 5 mph, the front driver's seat would sway back and forth. The contact was informed of a technical service bulletin under nhtsa item number: 10016401 (seats). The dealer and manufacturer were both notified and advised the contact that because the vehicle was no longer under warranty, the vehicle would not be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,000 and the current mileage was 90,000.
Purchased g35 sedan sept 2002 equipped with premium package including power drivers seat.driver's seat shifts or rocks when moving from a standstill or under hard accelleration.this unexpected seat movement is unnerving while navigating the vehicle and may be a potential danger.
- the contact states that his 2003 infinity g35 has a seat malfunction.when he accelerates or decelerates the seat continues to lift off the floor boards and pushes him to the back seat area.the contact has made several calls to the dealership and they state that his vehicle can't be covered under his warranty because of the mileage on the vehicle, but vehicle is still under warranty. The contact gave dealership number 941-924-1211, and the number for infinity corporation which is 1-800-662-6200.the contact states that it doesn't matter what speed he's going the seat rises from the floor.the contact also said that if he leans back on the seat while just sitting in vehicle it will also rise.

Center mount/third brake light is completely out despite the attempts made to fix the led's. Also had somehow caused my regular brake lights to go completely out.that seems to be repaired (faulty relay switch?), but since this was a safety issue i had asked infiniti to "goodwill" the repair cost ($221), but it was denied.
Coming to a stop on an interstate exit ramp, the car slowed to about 25mph with normal braking at which time the brake stopped slowing the car.i pressed the petal on to the floor and the antilock brake mechanism stopped the car in about 150 feet.just before stopping, the car lurched forwards a few times.i had not been repeatedly braking on the interstate: a cause of brake fluid boiling which has been offered as an explanation of this failure in other incidents with this and the 350z.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving 20 mph, the contact noticed a loud noise coming from the front of the engine and the vehicle lost power. The check engine and engine oil warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the cam position sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I recently bought a used 03 infiniti g35 coupe, the first problem that i found is that when refueling the car shuts the gas pump nozzle off about every 20-30 and happens every time i refuel regardless of what gas station i go to. The second problem is the brakes it's happened to me twice in the last month, both times were driving slow around 5-10mph in the morning when it's cold regardless if i let my car warm up for a few minutes or start up and go.
My third brake light went out so i went to the dealer to purchase a replacement led lamp. The price of the lamp was $185.00! the parts department said they are very difficult to replace as you have to remove both the trunk lining and rear seat to replace the led lamp. The labor to replace the lamp is $200.00!i have since noticed that about one half of the infiniti g35 and g37 models i see on the road have their high mount third brake light inoperative. This is with out a doubt due to the extremely high cost and difficulty to replace what should be a simple replacement lamp.
I had come to a complete stop at a crosswalk.my foot was firmly on the brake and the automatic transmission in drive.suddenly the car jumped forward in small increments with a sound indicating that the ant-lock brakes were releasing and applying the brakes in rapid succession. I stood on the brakes and the car stopped only to repeat the problem once more while i was standing on the brakes.in all the car moved forward about a foot.there was a pedestrian in the crosswalk directly in front of my car at the time and a second round of this problem would have caused the car to hit the pedestrian.
Third brake led lamp stops working and randomly comes back on. This also happens in almost every other g35 sedan i have seen to date.
Consumer complained about abrake problem. Brakes and rotors wore out prematurely. Consumer tookvehicle to the dealer, and had the brake work done. Less than 5,000 miles later, needed to replace brakes again.
I took in the car for an oil change and service for recalls and the service dept. Notified me that the front brake pads on both sides were almost completely worn out and the rotors would need resurfacing.i purchased the car from the same dealer in april 2002 and the car was built in march 2002.the car presently has 17.5k miles on it.it is ridiculous, even with performance brakes, for them to fail at such a low mileage.my previous car that i traded in to this dealer was a 1998 320 hp pontiac t/a with an even greater weight and power than this car, and the brakes lasted 40k miles.i believe the brakes infiniti uses in the g35 should be replaced for free for the duration of the warranty since this is unacceptable.also, make sure your dealer puts something in writing that they will replace the rotors once they are serviced beyond repair.don't let the infiniti service dept. Fool you into thinking the pads should only last 10-20 miles because they are performance brakes.complain enough and they may issue a recall.*ph
I took my infiniti g35 to sfpeninsila infiniti for crealking sound coming from the brakes. The dealer told me that my front brakes pads need replacement. The dealer also told me that the pads wore out the rotors and the rotors have to be replaced as well. According the dealer measurments, my rotors thickness where 23.91 mm, so 1.09 mm was eaten by the pads. I have driven the car mostly on freeway and the brakes have not been abused by any way. That leads me to believe that in harder use the rotors will be compromised. The dealer informed me that most owners must replace brakes and rotors in less than 15000 miles. I submit two issues with the brakes of g35:1. Safety - the rotors are substandard and can go under safe limit very easy since most customers does not expect extreme early wear. The same point can be made for the pads. It is possible the brake system interacts in unexpected way with vdc and abc so the pads become engaged in certain situations.2. Warranty coverage - i was charged $510 for front brake pads and new rotors. The infiniti g35 maintenance and warranty book explicitly list the pads as replaceble items, but does not mention the rotors. The dealer could not point out where in the infiniti warranty book the rotors are excluded from warranty coverage.since infiniti wrote the warranty book, if something is not explicitly excluded from the warranty, it should be covered. The dealer told me that infiniti specifically pronhibits him from replacing the rotors under warranty. In this case infiniti dealer overcharged me by $280 by what is the price of new rotors.the premature failure i had makes me to believe that infiniti g35 has problematic or faulty front brake design that may lead to incidents.finally, i requested the rotors and the pads in question. The pads have at least 5mm material left, so there is no question that the material of the pads or the rotors are defective. I can provide the pads and the rotors for further investigation.

Front brake pads on infinity g35 cause a pulsating action and are wearing prematurely.the dealer turned the rotors and the problem persists.infinity corporate will not let the dealer replace the brake pads, despite a public outcry for this safety issue.moreover, the rear brake lights would not illuminate when the brake pedal was applied.infinity corporate did allow the dealer to replace this under recall r3011.
The 3rd brake light on my 2003 infiniti g35 does not illuminate when pressing down the brake pedal. After reading many post this is a ongoing problem with these cars forcing safety issues as well as inspection problems. Measures needs to be enforced for a solution.
2003 infiniti g35 with a recall on the engine. Customer states that the dealer told her that her car was not included in the recall even though the symptoms were the same. Dealer refused to fix it unless she paid 11,000 dollars to fix it.the dealer informed the consumer the engine shut down because the piston broke causing it to hit the engine which put a hole in the engine block. The consumer had a used engine put in the vehicle on july 24, 2006 but, one year later the engine failed. The consumer stated she has hadnumerous problems with the brakes, the driver's seat made a constant noise, the 6 cd changer malfunctioned and ceased to operate and the window motor was replaced.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's brakes malfunctioned while driving various speeds without prior warning.when the brakes were gently applied, the brake pedal went to the floor.the service dealer replaced the brake pads several times but the problem recurred, and the service dealer was unable to resolve the issue.
Brakes had to be changed after one year of very sporadic use. After the service was performed a knocking sound during braking appears on low speed traffic driving. It could not be fixed by the dealer.*la
I own a 2003 infiniti g35.the car is 7 months old with less than 10,000 miles on it. I was told by my dealership that i had no front brakes.i brought the car in because 3 lights were lighting up on my dash for acouple of days:the brake light, the slip light, and the vdc off light.i was shocked to learn that i didn't have any front brakes.to me, this is definitely a safety issue.
I own an infiniti g35, and i just had a general request i wanted to make.the brakes on g35's wear out after about 15000 miles, and it happens to almost all g35s yet infiniti does not have a recall on the brakes, not the brake lights, or give a free service for the brakes, which cost about 900 bucks.i know that this is not an emergency or what not, but i just wanted you to take this into your consideration and review the brakes on infiniti g35s.since it is the office of defects investigation, i am sure you'll review the brakes on g35s.thank you.sincerely, [xxx]. *nlminformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Constant brake noise.*nlm
Consumer has experienced car a few events since early '10 of vehicle being reluctant to stop, even when brakes were applied down to the floor.the last event occurred today (9/18/11). Today's event was more scary than the previous events, in that the car accelerated far ahead of our destination and could have possibly hit another driver, if a driver had been present.the brakes are functioning properly and are not worn.at this point, i am gravely concerned about this malfunction, and it feels like i am at great risk of having an unavoidable accident.
Problems with excessive brake wear on 2003 infiniti g35 as well as problems with towing guide section of the owners manual.*mr
2003 g35 and q45 infiniti with brake problems. *tgwthe consumer stated the problem with the q45 was extreme vibrations when applying the brake; particularly at speeds over 50 mph. On down-hill braking, the shudder vibration was passed on to the steering wheel.
While driving 60 mph, the vehicle turned 360 degrees, crossed three lanes of traffic and collided into the guard rail.*phdriver has no input from slip light and vdc light.engine also stalled.dealer informed consumer that vdc failed but changed its decision saying that brakes aren't used by the vdc.however, consumer thinks that brakes are applied by the vdc, as stated in the owner's manual.*la
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the emergency brake released and the vehicle rolled away until crashing into another vehicle. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not contacted but the vehicle wasnot repaired. The failure mileage was 124,000 and the current mileage was 125,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan.the contact stated that the transmission failed at 45,000 miles.in addition, the brakes failed on the vehicle and were replaced several times.when the vehicle was started, it would jolt and jerk on its own.the dealer stated that the transmission was slipping and needed to be replaced.he assumed that the repairs could be made under the extended powertrain warranty; however, the manufacturer stated that the warranty did not include the fly wheel or the clutch component of the transmission.the failure mileage was less than 45,000 and current mileage was 69,800.
My 2003 g35 coupe have brake problem where the brake pads and rotor will wear out so quick.i have gone through 2 sets of pads and rotor within 40km.richmond nissan refuse to fix it for me under warranty.i finally had to replace them myself at my own cost.
Took my infiniti g35 to dealer for oil change at 15,000 miles and was told my brakes needed replacing with only 10% remaining.dealer acknowledged premature brake failure is a chronic problem for g35's.my wife and i are not hard drivers and typically drive 40,000 miles between brake jobs. I would not have purchased this vehicle if i had known i would have to replace the brakes every year.infiniti should share the cost with g35 owners for an obvious design flaw.*la
Needed new brakes at 14,000 miles.seems like the brakes should last much longer than this.shouldn't this be covered by the warranty?i've seen enough complaints about this problem that i feel infiniti should make a change and reimburse those of us who have already had to pay for this repair. *la
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.
I bought this car used, should have checked this site first. I now have to replace my brakes once a year because they wear prematurely. That is a $1000 job. Only have has the car for 3 years. Last year in 09, the cd player stopped working with 6 cd's stuck in the changer, i had nationwide infinity look into this, when they said it would be $1400 to fix, but my year car has these problems. So i said forget it, i do not have this kind of money sitting around. Then couple months after that, the radio would shut off by it self a couple times a week and come right back on. Then just the other day, being june 5th 2010 my radio would not come on at all and i now have no control over my air condition. It is stuck on 70 full blast. Now wasting a ton of gas also. I called nationwide to make an appt, when i discussed the issue, the service advisor then said " let me guess, 2003 g35" i said oh, so you know this issue, he said yes we see it all the time, your looking at !600 to fix! i then call infinity headquarter to file a complaint to have them take care of the issue due to it being a known issue with no recall. Im a single mom, so not have this money laying around. I think its a huge safety issue due to me not having any control over the front or rear defrosters! i am contacting all local news stations to get some help!
Brakes and rotors failed, causing vehicle to seize up.the consumer told the dealer there was a noise coming from the brakes, the brake pads and rotors were replaced.
Abs braking system light appeared on the dashboard intermittently and without warning. Brakes had to be replaced prematurely, more frequently every 30,000 miles. Dealership replaced the brakes, but the problem still exists.
My 2003 infiniti g35 has an unsafe brake system. Since it was new and before 24,000 miles, i have had the brake pads and rotors replaced 3 times. They wear out so fast that it is difficult to know when they are unsafe. They always have squeaked loudly, even when new so that is not an indicator.infiniti stopped putting this brake system in the g35 6 months after manufacturing started and they gave a 3 year warranty on the brakes of these cars, so they knew they had a problem. They will do nothing to fix this.
Almost 99% of the time when i roll my g35 within 10 mph i hear a crackling or grinding noise (like fan just started) and a "vibration" would transfer from the brake to my foot. Fter troubleshooting (shut down all sound device including ac/fan) and researching the owner's manual, it stated what i described above is normal. It's a self-diagnostic feature on abs system when the car is moving slow. The noise is kinda loud and noticeable.is it the norm for all abs sytems by other manufacturers??
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 system.

While driving at approximately 30 mph vehicle vibrated in the front when applying the brakes. They were replaced, and the rotors turned on 3 different occasions.owner was informed that the front brakes were wearing out prematurely. Owner contacted the manufacturer and the dealer.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's brakes malfunctioned while driving various speeds without prior warning.when the brakes were gently applied, the brake pedal went to the floor.the service dealer replaced the brake pads several times but the problem recurred, and the service dealer was unable to resolve the issue.
My g35brakes are already in need of replacement at less then 20000 miles.my previous experience with brakes on other cars was always in excess of 50k miles.this short brake life should be noted in infiniti owners manual along with an explaination of why the owner should expect a poor quality service life.
At 9.5k service (3rd), car had slight pulsing in the brakes. Dealer confirmed warped rotors and machined. Estimated remaining pad life only about 50%. Car and brakes have been well maintained in mainly city driving. This is the fastest wear i have seen on any car i have owned in 35 years including numerous performance cars. Dealer acknowledges many complaints for premature brake wear. This has also been a reccuring topic on infiniti web forums. Dealer indicated infiniti used to cover this as warranty but is now balking at replacement under the guise these are "high performance" brakes and normal wear and tear.with the potential for ultra short brake life, some consumers may not believe the brake wear indicator squeal and not get the brakes checked in time to prevent failure. This could turn into a long term safety issue. This also maybe due to an unrecognized interaction with the stability control, electronic brake assistance and traction control leading to higher brake stresses and short life. This should be looked at for a techical service bulletin and watched as a long term safety issue as the cars age.
I took my g35 in for an oil change and tire rotation at 15,000 miles and was informed i only had 5% of my brake pads left. They had the nerve to blame it on city driving. As much as i like my g35, this whole occurrence and how infiniti dealt with me has soured me against them.*la
Front brakes needed to be replaced after only 13,000 miles!.
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 theproblem 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!
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
I purchased my 2003 infiniti g35 in august 2002.when i first purchased my vehicle i noticed a lot of brake dust on my front brakes.i informed the service dept of the dealership where i bought the vehicle and was told this is normal.about a month later i began hearing a squealing sound when i applied the brakes, i contacted the dealership again and i was told that this was normal.the dealer even began to read me an article/publication suggesting that this was because these were high performance brakes.needless to say after back and forth with this dealer and infiniti for over 4 months, to no avail i left the issue alone.now 6 months later, i require new front brakes at only 19,000 miles. *nlm
At 11,784 miles (after 16 months of ownership) i took my car to my local shop for its fourth oil change and tire rotation.my mechanic informed me that the front brakes and rotors on my 2003 infiniti g35 sedan were very close to being worn out.i drove to the local infinti dealer (infiniti of willow grove, pa) that same day and arranged for a service appointment.the following friday i dropped off my car, and was later informed by the service writer that yes, the front rotors were worn beyond specification and that the front pads were worn very close to required replacement.service writer said that infiniti would cover the cost of replacement rotors as a one-time goodwill gesture due to the low mileage on the car, but i was to bear the cost of brake pad replacement.i ordered oem front brake pads from grubbs infiniti of texas.i later brought the car back to infiniti of willow grove for rotor replacement under warranty.i then took the car back to my local shop, where they installed new oem front brake pads.i was also told by infiniti customer service reps that these are european-style brakes that wear out quickly in exchange for greater stopping power.in my previous car (1990 maxima), under similar driving habits and patterns, i would normally get 30-35,000 miles on pads and never had to replace rotors, only resurface.infiniti should be up front with prospective buyers regarding the low life expectancy of the brakes on the g35 sedan.
The front brake pads and rotors on my g35 (one year old with 11,000 miles) need to be replaced as well as the rear brake pads, the car is not driven hard and the wear is extremely premature.it may cause a safety issue because the manufacturer does not admit/inform customers that this premature wear is an issue, they classify it as normal wear which it most certainly is not.
Dt*: the contact stated while performing routine maintenance on the vehicle at a dealership, it was determined the brake pads and drums were excessively worn and needed to be replaced.the manufacturer was notified.
Infiniti g35 sedans and coupes need front brake pad and rotor replacements every 10,000 to 15,000 miles.originally, infiniti was providing free brake pad and rotor replacements, then has changed their mind saying it's a performance brake; therefore, the brakes are expected to wear out faster.i've owned bmws, and they rarely required brake replacements prior to 30,000 or 40,000 miles.*la

I've bought several cars and never have i heard that the breaks squeaking unbearably was normal.they told me to wait until i bring my car in for service again and if the brakes are even more worn down they might see what they can do.i don't know if the car is even safe to drive. Do the breaks have to totally go out and i run into the back of someone before i can get them fixed under warranty???i have a 95 mustang and it sounds better than my 2003 infiniti.i don't want to pay 30,000 for a car that squeeks as if i'm driving an old beat up lemon.help!kdj.

Infiniti g35 sedans and coupes need front brake pad and rotor replacements every 10,000 to 15,000 miles.originally, infiniti was providing free brake pad and rotor replacements, then has changed their mind saying it's a performance brake; therefore, the brakes are expected to wear out faster.i've owned bmws, and they rarely required brake replacements prior to 30,000 or 40,000 miles.*la
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
My brake rotors have been serviced, cut or replaced, (5) five times starting on 09/18/02 with 5,350 miles on the odometer.when the brakes were serviced at 15,409 miles, the fifth time, i was told infiniti will no longer service the rotors under warranty.i made a complaint to infiniti consumer affairs who admitted there were many complaints about brakes wearing out quickly.but, there was no answer as to why my rotors warped repeatedly, and why a master technician would not look at my car.
Dt*: the contact stated while performing routine maintenance on the vehicle at a dealership, it was determined the brake pads and drums were excessively worn and needed to be replaced.the manufacturer was notified.
2003 g35 cp 6 spdi was driving on the 60 fwy going west @ 2:30 am, traveling about 65 mph & all of a sudden, the car spin out & skidded across the freeway onto the dirt almost hit the center divider. I was shock! i was thinking man... What did it just happen? first i thought there were stuff like grease on the fwy that cause the spin out. But i walk to the freeway & there was nothing on the fwy. So i got back into my car try to move the car, but it would not move. It seems like the rear-wheel brake is locked, the car will not move. So i call the tow truck & tow my car to the dealer in riverside. Then when the car got to the dealer, the mechanic went underneath and found out there were plastic got caught around the driveshaft. Then they jacked up the car to remove the plastic, they've find out that the brake lines are twisted, that's why the rear brake locked up. So after the dealer gave me a quote to replace the brake lines. And i ask them isn't that a defect from manufacture? they told me no, they blame on me that i ran over the plastic & cause the brake to locked. Does it make sense to you? brake is control by the driver, not any objects on the road. Lucky there was no cars around at that time. And also there was not a freeway divider right next to me, or else who knows what could of happen. I could cause a big accident. So to me, this is a very major safety issue & now i do not feel safety & comfortable driving that car anymore, after i had almost lost my life. This incident happen once & it will happen again. And im not down to go through it again. So now, i am requesting the dealer to take back the car. The car is only 9 days old and only have a few hundred of miles on it. I spoke to the dealer, but they said they will not take back the car. Can you guys help me out here?
As i was accelerating to access highway, i was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if i was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when i was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as i was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while i waited and it suddenly shut down. When i restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. I checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas. Filled up my tank and a few hours later check engine light went out. Today the car died as i was pulling into my driveway, however immediately restarted. Researched recall information and contacted infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of nhtsa campaign number 03v455000.
Radio, cd, and a/c control console do not work. Also the dashboard cracked. I called infiniti and i was told no recall had been issue. I'm extremely disappointed by this brand. I will take my business to honda who make better quality cars.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35.the contact stated that the welding joint was coming apart and damaging the base.the dealer stated that the entire base was unsafe and needed to be replaced.the vehicle is currently at the dealer being repaired at the owner's expense.there is a service bulletin for the vehicle, but the number was unavailable.the failure and current mileages were 46,000.the consumer stated in january 20009, the driver's seat began to rock back forth whenever he accelerated from a complete stop. At first, the rocking was isolated to when acceleration occurred from a complete stop. However, after two weeks the rocking would occur when traveling at highway speeds of about 70 mph. Eventually, the condition of the driver's seat became so severe that the seat could be rocked back and forth without any person seated in it. The driver's seat assembly was replaced at the consumers expense.updated 02/09/11 the consumer stated while driving in inclement weather, the window defroster suddenly shut off on its own. At the same time, the air conditioner reset itself to 60 degrees and turned itself on at maximum force. The lights on the climate control panel and radio panel went dark. Attempts were made to shut off the air conditioner and restart the window defrosted, but the climate control button were non-responsive. It was discovered that the only way to control the radio was through the control buttons located on the steering wheel. Unlike the radio there was no secondary climate control button. Within 30 seconds of the window defroster shutting off, all of the windows inside the vehicle became foggy.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was discovered the audio finisher circuit board was defective and that along with the radio would have to be replaced at a cost of $ 1,329.01. The dealer stated the radio and climate controls were both intertwined with the audio finisher circuit board. Updated 09/10/12the consumer stated the audio finisher board was replaced.updated 10/10/1
The car won't back up when it's on reverse, sometimes it won't move at all even when it's on drive.
The radio will turn off by itself and turn back on a few seconds later. All of the buttons in the center console become inoperable. The a/c controls also become inoperable and turns on by itself. It just doesn't turn on though, it turns on 90 degrees and starts blasting out. This is a safely issue because as a driver we never know when this air is just going to start blasting out at us like fire. If infiniti is smart enough to recall the sedan, they should do the same thing with the coupes. It is clearly a common problem among the '03-'04 models. If they want to keep their reputable name they will do what is right.
The rear upper quarter panels show signs of flexing, the body appears to have minor dent like ripples from where the rear window pillar meets the rear quarter panel.in the beginning, i thought it was just a minor issue, however as time progress, the body flexing is appearing more and more.
My slip light and vct light has came on in my 2003 infiniti g35 and also the ebrake light and non of them will go offf. I recently hydro planed in the rain due not being able to turn my traction control on abs did nothing to stop my car from loosing traction this would never of happened if my car did not have these problems. Further looking into it they have had made a tsb talking about how the abs and anti wheel lock may malfunction. I was in a 5 car pile up and almost died. If my traction control was able to be turned on witch it wouldn't let me i would not of hydro planed my whole back end just swung forward out of nowhere people though someone in my car pulled my ebrake the way the back end just swung forward. Both the slip light and the vct light remained on along with my ebrake light. I drive my car like a baby and to barley push the gas should not result in my back end swinging forward resulting in completely wrechingmy car along with 4 other drivers. I feel infiniti is definitely reliable and should of recalled these parts due to putting people in danger instead of making it atsb like its not a big deal. I am also not the only one iv found a few people that crashed there car due to rainy wether and the traction control not wanting to turn on. I was on the freeway doing about 60 to 65. If i new infiniti had so many problems i would not of purchased one 77 bulletins and after reading about all the problems the 2003 had and all the recalled parts i would not of purchased it and put my life at risk. I feel infiniti should be reliable it's commen sense to know that first hand not fixing those problems would lead to serious injuries and i'm not the only one. Let me know what you think i will be emailing infiniti to. It may not be a recalled part but it' put me and everyone else on the freeway at risk and totaled my car. Bellow is someone who also had the issue
Dt*: the contact stated while having the tires replaced, the tire dealer noticed the chassis was fractured on the passenger side.the vehicle was driven to an independent body shop who confirmed the fracture.the dealer was alerted.
2003 infiniti g35 sedan with aero package. Ravel pan is located under engine and secured to front bumper.the front bumper wore thin through normal driving conditions, splitting the bumper in two pieces along the length of the bumper releasing the gravel pan and creating an air scoop which flaps freely.i believe this is a design flaw.it is poor engineering that would allow the pan to be secured to the bumper cover when the bumper cover (plastic) can be easily worn away by always present concrete curbs in normal driving conditions thus releasing the pan.the edge along which the bumper cover split should be altered or reinforced so as not to impact curbs and wear away.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while traveling 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly spun out of control. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic, who stated that the suspension needed to be repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 122,000 and the current mileage was 124,132.
Burns oil at 5 quarts a week or more. Piston rings are defective. Common for this car i've read and there was a recall that infiniti issued but this has not included my vehicle. Suspension also wears down brand new tires in less than 3 months. My boyfriend has the exact same car and this is a problem with his vehicle also.

Front end alignment problems. The consumer stated that the inside tire wear down was 2/32 .problem existed when the consumers vehicle was new.the consumer stated that the rear camber seems to be out and the rear tires were worn on the inside edge.after service it was found that the rear camber was out of spec and was adjusted.*tc
New tires were installed and alignment performed by dealer. Tires have irregular tire wear (cupping)on the inner surface of both front tires after 7500 miles.
Nissan has ordered a tsb/ recall for the 350-z for front end alignment problems that cause premature tire wear. I own a 2003 infiniti g-35 coupe.the 350-z and the g-35 coupe share the same platform and virtually identical suspensions.my car is suffering from the same alignment problems, yet nissan will not acknowledge a connection between the two.i am concerned about the potential safety issues and would like the nhtsa to look into this matter. *la
Returning from a vacation trip coming from missouri to louisiana on interstate 10 i noticed a vibration in the rear of my 2003 infiniti g35.i thought that i had a tire that was going flat.i exited the interstate and drove about 2 miles and checked the tires, all tires were inflated.i drove and dropped off a passanger and my son, the car continued to vibrate.driving slowly (no more tha 25 mph) the vibration contued to get worse, since my wife and i were only about two miles from our home i contined.the entire wheel of the right passanger side fell off!this happened about 1am.i was able to pull the car off of the roadway and parked the vehicle.the next morning i called infiniti roadside assistance and had the vehicle towed to ray brandt infiniti in metairie, la. The dealer called me at about 3pm and said the cost to repair would be about $900.00 plus the body repair.i told them that i would not pay it and was referred ti infiniti's toll free number.infiniti has agreed to repair the car and has not accepted any liability.i will be required to sign a release. I've told infiniti not to repair the car until i see the relesse form and the repairs are detailed in writing. At this point the old parts may be available.

'tamara recall' my radio and complete column to adjust ac went out.there was a recal for my same year and model vehicle, but infiniti is saying my vin isn't covered.i took the steps to have the recall my fixed by a licensed mechanic and still nothing works.it is a safety hazard as i have a young child and the car only blows heat.in ca it it still very hot right now and cannot afford another vehicle.
Consumer would like information regarding recall repairs for a 2003 infiniti g35. The manufacturer recently notified the consumer of a recall on the vehicle.due to the distance to the closest dealership, the consumer age and other factors the consumer feels it is not practical to take the vehicle to the dealership.the consumer feels there are excellent garages close to his home that are capable of correcting any defect.the consumer request that the dealer cooperate in his attempt to have the repairs done locally.the consumer was told by the dealer that recall repairs need to be performed by an authorized infiniti dealer.

Consumer states vehicle's clock is poorly illuminated, making it difficult to view when dark.consumer states has to take eyes off of road when attempting to view clock because of it's unsafe design. Mr
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.
Consumer has experienced car a few events since early '10 of vehicle being reluctant to stop, even when brakes were applied down to the floor.the last event occurred today (9/18/11). Today's event was more scary than the previous events, in that the car accelerated far ahead of our destination and could have possibly hit another driver, if a driver had been present.the brakes are functioning properly and are not worn.at this point, i am gravely concerned about this malfunction, and it feels like i am at great risk of having an unavoidable accident.
I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when i finished my transaction i tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move.i finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked.it has also happened to me when i have started my car and tried to put it in reverse.it is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my vin # in the recall but they haven't so far.even in the expanded recall.i don't know why.when does our safety become important?my stereo/cd player also stopped working and i had to replace that.what good does all of these repetitive complaints do if the auto companies aren't made to repair all of them?
As i was accelerating to access highway, i was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if i was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when i was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as i was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while i waited and it suddenly shut down. When i restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. I checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas. Filled up my tank and a few hours later check engine light went out. Today the car died as i was pulling into my driveway, however immediately restarted. Researched recall information and contacted infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of nhtsa campaign number 03v455000.
I have a 2003 g35 sedan with approximately 13,000 miles on it.while traveling down a sidestreet at 35 mph approaching a stop sign at a major four lane cross street, removed foot from accelerator pedal to begin slowing down the vehicle when the car spontaneously revved at high rpm (over 6000 rpm).had to apply the brake forcefully to attempt to stop the vehicle and the car powered through the stop sign and into the first cross lane of the four lane street.a car on the cross street had to swerve to avoid striking our vehicle.the car could only be stopped by throwing the shift lever into neutral.on two previous occasions when the vehicle was about one month old, experienced a sudden spontaneous revving of the engine while stopped at a signal.the two previous occurrences did not result in loss of control of the vehicle.on the most recent occurrence, i had the vehicle towed to our servicing dealer (autoplace infiniti), where they claimed to have conducted a thorough diagnostic.they reported that they were unable to find any defects, computer error codes or manufacturer service bulletins on this problem, and, of course, were unable to duplicate the problem.i have written to infiniti consumer affairs about the problem as we are terrified to drive the vehicle and it has been idle in our garage the past three weeks awaiting a response from infiniti as to this serious problem.
2003 infiniti g35 with acceleration issues. Customer states that the car lunged forward while she was stopped at a red light. She says this has happened four times. She says she has had to turn the wheel to avoid hitting other vehicles.
2003 inifiniti g35 sedan lurches forward when car is stopped.the car accelerates until brakes are severely depressed.this has occurred at stop signs, stop lights and in my garage.this problem is a dangerous issue.my car has been damaged due to this issue.
I was driving my sister-in-law to macarthur airport in islip, ny.we came to a red light just outside the airport. I took my foot off the gas pedal and put it on the brake pedal, but i felt the car was still trying to move as though there was another foot on the gas pedal. Fortunately it was not that much thrust involved. I kept pressing harder on the brake, but the car kept inching forward at about 2 mph. I wasn't sure if i could stop before hitting the car in front of me (fortunately i always leave lots of room).so i put the car in neutral. Because my foot was pressed very hard on the brake, there was a sudden jerk as we stopped suddenly. Luckily we all had our seat belts on. It has nothappened since. I don't think there is anything wrong with the pedal. Maybe there was some type of electrical interference from the airport that messed with my car's electronics?
Was driving my infiniti g35 2003, while passing a vehicle going slow my accelerator went to the floor, beyond my control, i hit the gas pedal hard with my right foot while panicking trying to release it. I was coming to an intersection i had to stand on my brake pedal. I don't know how fast exactly but it was over 100 mph. It happened very fast, i did try to put it in neutral but missed and hit reverse i then went sideways and my car made some very weird whining sounds. I then shut off the ignition. I should've done that first but in that situation you just panic. After coasting to a long stop i started it again. Same thing still 8k rpms, pedal still at the floor, i shut it off and inspected my pedal it was stuck to the floor. No floor mat grabbed it (like infinity insisted happened) and i am 150 percent sure i did not depress my pedal then or ever to the floor for which it could stick.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While approaching anintersection at speeds of 55 mph and depressing the brake pedal,the vehicle began to abnormally accelerate. She attempted to apply pressure to the brake pedal to no avail. A pedestrian was in herpath when she forced the vehicle into the park position to avoid hitting him. Immediately, there was a sudden and abnormal increase in the engine rpms accompanied by a loud noise. She shut the engine off and restarted the vehicle and within a few moments, the vehicle was functioning normally. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. No repairs were made. The manufacturer would not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 78,000.
When vehicle is at a complete stop with feetdepressed on the brake pedal,andair conditioner is on, vehicle will suddenly accelerate.brake pedal has to be depressed very hard to stop vehicle.cause ofsudden acceleration is undetermined.
2003 infiniti g35 was turning into parking stall at about 5 mph when the car suddenly accelerated without the accelerator pedal touched.brakes were not used with sufficient force to stop the car.car jumped curb, traveled fifty feet and hit a tree.
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.
I have an infiniti g35 (2003) that has suddenly had problems with the heat and air controls.when the problem started, it would go out after the car was on for more than 10 minutes.now, the controls do not work at all.this can potentially create a safety problem for a driver when the windshield fogs up in either cold weather conditions (after being garaged) or humid weather conditions after a rain shower in the hot summer.this is a serious safety issue when the windshield fogs up as the driver is operating the vehicle.after doing an internet search about this problem, i found that there are literally thousands of other 2003 g35 owners with the same problem.also, infiniti knows of the problem and the safety concern, but has not done anything about it to fix the problem for all vehicles in which this occurs.there was only a voluntary posting and it only included vehicles made in a certain time period.obviously, the timeframe established by infiniti is not correct as there are many cases where this defect is still occurring.this safety concern needs to be addressed and corrected.i have not had a crash as a result of this defect, but i do not want to have one in the future.others with the same problem most likely feel the same way......some may have actually had a crash because of this defect.this should be investigated.

The heating/defrost/ac unit stops working while driving causing window to fog up during cold weather - back seats are ripping, like brittle.brake light in back window goes off and on, works when it wants to.
I presently own a 2003 infinit g35.the entire climate control functions and dash lights do not function because of a problem with the radio. A recall was initiated for the "audio finisher circuit board" by infiniti but the problem still exists.these items will suddenly stop working while driving the vehicle.this happened to me while driving. These items do not function at present. An infiniti dealer infomred of the recall and also infomred me that my vehicle had already had the circuit board replaced and that the only other problem that would cause this would be the radio. I was also infomred that this is a common problem with this model infiniti and infiniti will not take responsibilty for this problem or the repairs. Repairs cost from $600 to $1250. That price quote was stated to by infiniti. Just a note, all equipment i am referrring to is factory installed. No aftermarket equipment has been installed.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated the defroster only emit heat and doesnot assist in defrosting the windshield when necessary. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The technicians stated the audio unit needed to be replaced due to a wiring failure . The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the climate control did not function properly and he was unable to use the defrost system. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the finisher circuit board needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 105,000.
The defroster, ac/heating system, radio, and selected lights on the dashboard fail randomly, causing the windows to fog in certain weather conditions, making it quite hazardous to drive.the system will automatically turn on, then the fan cycles to higher speeds about every 20 seconds. The heating/air system will become completely uncontrollable, rendering all defrost controls inoperable.during this time, the radio display turns itself off, and all controls on the face of the unit are disabled.the stereo can still be controlled by the steering wheel controls.all button lights remain off, while the center display, located just below the windshield, remains on.there has been a recall for the sedan version of this year/model vehicle for the same issue.the following is the service campaign number for the sedan recall:itb03-007.
Im currently having trouble with my center console losing power to my ac and radio.the problems range from center console display shortages, ac blasting at full strength and being unable to change the setting, to the radio intermittently putting out sound. This problem has led to safety issues with the car in that the inability to control the ac results in fogged over windshields leading to poor visibility.i've read online that this problem affects many owners of the same car. It was such a problem that infiniti recalled the '03 g35 sedan for the exact same problems.it is embarrassing that inifiniti does not stand by their product across the board. If they acknowledged that it was a problem in the sedan why are they not responsible for fixing the same problem in the two door model.would like to know how this problem may be remedied.
2003 g35 sedan central console a/c, selected lights, and audio controls stopped working suddenly.cannot control heat/defrost/air conditioning. Caused windows to fog up quickly impairing visual field while driving on highway.this is very hazardous because of its unexpected and unpredictable onset.
My 2003 infinity g35 has an electrical problem with the radio which causes the climate control system to freeze up defroster will not work front or rear causing fogging when temperature changes this impairs my vision and creates a dangerous condition infinity will not do anything to fix this they recalled some vehicles so their aware of this condition.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact noticed the defroster was not functioning and there was no air emitting from the vents when the climate control knobs were engaged. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.
I own a 2003 infinity g35 sedan. The climate control system often turns on by it self. Depending on the weather this causes the windshield to fog so it is had to see while driving. I have seen on the online forums that a lot of people have this problem. The dealers want to charge $ 1,200 to replace these units.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. After driving the vehicle for a 10 second period, the contact noticed that the heater and air conditioning buttons were not functioning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The current and the failure mileages were 80,000.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash. Infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition. Infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem. Infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.it is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
A/c came on randomly at high speed,,could now turn of,,fog my windows will my niece was in back in her baby seat,,i tried turning the fan's off,,could not turn of,,and heater and cd malfunction together. Went to dealer they would not replace,will cost 1300,,it was electric problem. I always keep my car up to service.
My infiniti g 35 first began having problems with the cd player. It no longer works, but has now progressed to the radio and ac or heater freezing up.it occurs more frequently as time goes on.the safety issue is that i can not control the defrost or heat when it freezes.it happens when i am driving and yesterday the heater on the car turned itself up to 90 degrees with the blower at full blast.my daughter is a college student and i am concerned that when she drives back home on weekends that she will not be able to control the defroster this winter.we never know when this will happen and would hate for her to be on the interstatein the middle of no where and not be able to use the defroster.we also never know if the air or heat will turn to its low or high with the blower at full speed.several car mechanics have mentioned that this is a well known problem with the 2003 infiniti g 35's. On the internet there are numerous websites with many complaints on this issue as well.
I have a 2003 infinity g35 coupe my radio does not work and have lost all control of my heat and air conditioning i believe this is a really big problem do to the fact thati cannot defrost my windows when they fog up.
Per g35 sedan recall my '...audio and temperature controls may, on occasion, not operate as expected....".my equipment failed multiple times.there is a voluntary recall for this problem on the g35 sedan but not the g35 coupe.the mfg'r. States that coupe is not covered even though i have the same problem.my g35 has/had the identical problem and they replaced my circuit board at a cost of $649.88 (parts and labor). I believe the g35 coupe should have same recall as the g35 sedan.
Intermittent heater, defroster, ac, audio failure.this is a safety issue with regard to the inability to defrost / de-ice the wind shield.there are numerous complaints from other owners on this site and others. No response or support from infinity.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash.infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition.infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem.infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.i have 2 other friends that are having the same problem with their 2003 g35 infiniti's, also not covered by the service bulletin. It is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
First defect:when i would start my car the lights would go out and the radio, heating and cooling buttons. The fan would come onto high and switch to airconditioning. I could not turn it down or turn it off or turn on my defroster when it was 30 degrees in the morning which made my visibility very poor. The only way to get this to stop was to pull the fuses.we check the recall history and found that it was only a courtesy recall and wouldn't be covered even after reading that hundreds of g35 owners were all having the same problem.we had to have the radio electronics removed from the car and sent out to be fixed.i think this issue would be consisted a safety issue when you don't have heat or a defroster.second defect: the problem started while the car was idling and it would stall. Then 3 days later while driving at 50mph the car tried to stall and it lost all power and then the dash lights came on indicating service needed. The car seem to lack power. Did a recall check and found that all the conditions pointed to the cam shaft position censor failing.we checked the vin# and of course my car isn't one that is on their recall list for the same problem they have on other g35 models.this could be a serious safety issue causing an accident when you stall and have no control of your vehicle going down the highway.every issue i have had with my car has been on the companies recall list but not my vin # for some reason. This issue to need to reviewed and corrected.third defect: we have had to have the motor replaced twice in the drivers door that operates the electric window. Now the right door window is not working. If it does open it will get stuck and we have trouble getting it to come up. We have to keep it locked to avoid it being opened.
1) called the dealership and was told there is a technical bulletin on how to fix the problem but it wasn't a recall and will cost approx. $800 due to a malfunctioning of a circuit board. 2) the climate control and radio are inoperable about every other time we start the car. I read current recalls for this exact problem for the sedan and not the coupe. I just don't understand that. I know there are other's with the same issue. Hope this become a recall soon.
The third brake light on the rear window deck fails to work intermittently creating a situation where vehicles following may not realize that our vehicle is braking. This creates a concern for my safety as well as my childrens safety. This is a very frequent problem with infiniti vehicles of this make but infiniti will not acknowledge the problem.
A/c controls/electrical failing on vehicle... During summer months do not have ability to lower a/c (blows hot air).during winter months do not have access to heater or window defroster creating road hazard and personal safety issues. 2003 infiniti g35 couple.
Electrical control panel: heat/ defrost/ radio and cd/tape. Intermittent operation was reported to infiniti dealer in 2008. At the present time (oct. 2010), the control panel istotally inoperable as of the beginning of october 2010. There is no way of controlling the ac/defrost/temperature. The audio/ climate system was inspected and confirmed that the circuitry has internal failure. This has posed a hazard since there is no way of controlling the defrost and fan to unfog the windows.there was a voluntary recall in 2004, however i had not been notified. Several similar complaints have been blogged. Dealer will replace unit for approximately $550.00 at owner's cost. However, it appears that it is a defect by the manufacturer.
The contact owns a 2003 infinity g35. The contact was driving 25 mph when the defroster, air conditioner and radio failed intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer but the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 117,000 and the current mileage was 127,000. Updated 01/06/12 the consumer stated from the time is started happening, it was intermittent, until march when it went out all together. It is now stuck on a constant 74 degrees and nothing else on the center panel works. Updated 01/06/12
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35.the contact stated that the defroger system was inoperable.the dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for service.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure.no repairs were performed.the current mileage was 153,000 and the approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Center console control buttons do not operate.can't operate defroster and can't see out front windshield.
While driving my 2003 infiniti g35in the highway the radio made a click and remained silent followed by the ac automatically coming on at full power. The dash controls can no longer be accessed . At the time it is bothersome but in certain situations the car is at danger. If this was winter everything would have fogged up and wouldn'thave been able to use the defroster . I have researched this problem and there other owners with the same problem .this problem is electricaland is very dangerous when taking it into context. There was a voluntary service campaign for the audio finisher circuit board but it only included 23600 cars. Infiniti should be responsible for this and cover the cost.
Air conditioning unit comes on randomly and would not shut off.at the same time, the radio became inoperable.initially this problem would happen just a couple of times per week, but now it's a permanent issue. Infiniti recognizes that a problem exists, but will not recall because they claim that it's not a safety issue.this is a huge safety issue because i cannot control the front or rear defrost.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan.the contact stated that the electrical system works intermittently, causing loss of defrost and air conditioning.due to the high humidity in his state, the contact was unable to defrost the rear glass due to the malfunction in the electrical system.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.he noticed several complaints on the internet regarding the same failure.the failure mileage was 132,000 and current mileage was 133,600.
I lose complete control of my climate control which results in my a/c being stuck on. My radio controls are also gone. The whole center dash is in complete electrical failure. This is a hazard due to windows fogging up while driving. Also i've researched that there are recalls only for sedans, i don't understand this because the same parts are in the coupes.
The ac and radio controls basically none of the dashboard controls are working including defroster which is big safety hazard and as per infiniti dealership its a radio and circuitboard issues. After looking at internet i have found that there was a recall campaign (voluntary service campaign 2003 infiniti g35 sedan; audio finisher circuit board) for this issues ->itb03-007b service campaign -> issue description listed below available on the internet. But infiniti dealer is not accepting any recall on this ground and they are asking for 1300+ bucks to fix this issue. Can someone please help as i can live without ac and climate controls but not without defroster. Also its a trouble that ac auto turns on at full blown speed which cause too much cold in winter and its a health risk for myself and family including 2 kids.description from internet - on some model year 2003 g35 sedans manufactured through august 21, 2002, the audio and temperature controls may not operate as expected. When using the audio equipment or the temperature controls, the unit may become inoperative. In some cases, this can be corrected by turning the ignition switch off and back on again. In other cases, the unit remains inoperative and requires service by an infiniti technician. To prevent this condition, infiniti has initiated a voluntary service campaign to replace the audio finisher circuit board on these vehicles. Use infiniti net to confirm if a specific vehicle is affected by this service campaign (p3104).
Intermittent loss of control of front window defogger, rear window defroster, radio, a/c.this happens randomly while driving causing loss of visibility in cold or rainy weather.this problem started happening on rare occasion but the frequency is getting progressively worse and now happens almost every time the vehicle is driven!
The air control on my car went out. The car's radio and air controls no longer work. The air is stuck on 72 degrees cool with a/c on. I was in kentucky at the time and unable to manage my temperature. Car's interior windows fogging up, unable to control defrost or windshield air direction. Problem still exists, when air is on at certain times windows fog up and reduce visibility. This is a big problem with infiniti owners.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the climate control feature on the vehicle was inoperable. The contact stated that due to the failure, the defroster was also inoperable. Holman infiniti located at 577 nj-38, maple shade township, nj 08052 was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.*dt
Unable to defog windows because all of the climate control buttons are inoperable.currently the climate control system is "stuck" at 71 degrees and the radio is completely out.
Finisher board malfunction, no defroster for front and rear windows,. Radio and ac impaired
The climate control/ audio control unit in my g35 froze a few weeks ago making the system inoperable. As a result the the front and rear defrosters have become inoperable creating a dangerous driving condition specially in the rain. This is a common issue for all g35s made from 2003 -2005 and infiniti is very well aware of it. However they have done nothing to address it. Back in 2003 they have done a recall but only to a limited number of cars that had a particular part number. But the truth is every g35 with the oem unit is vulnerable to this issue. In ability to control the defrosters affects the visibility which may cause an accident that may result in injuries and or death.
Below is what infiniti sent out. Iam experiencing the issue and none of my control panels work. This means that my defrosters on both windows are not an option for me to clear my windshields. This is a safety hazard early morning now as condensation sits on both rear and front windshields. Even though my symptoms areexactly as described, i am refused a solution. This is dangerous and is a known defect in this model and year car. 2003 g35 sedan audio finisher circuit board voluntary service campaign on some model year 2003 g35 sedans manufactured through august 21, 2002, the audio and temperature controls may not operate as expected. When using the audio equipment or the temperature controls, the unit may become inoperative. In some cases, this can be corrected by turning the ignition switch off and back on again. In other cases, the unit remains inoperative and requires service by an infiniti technician. To prevent this condition, infiniti has initiated a voluntary service campaign to replace the audio finisher circuit board on these vehicles at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. This campaign affects approximately 23,998 infiniti g35 sedans in the united states. Itb03-007 owner notification letter 2003 g35 sedan audio finisher voluntary service campaign dear infiniti owner: thank you for your purchase of an infiniti 2003 g35 sedan.
The vehicle hvac/stereo system lost power and quit functioning causing the windshield to fog up.the only way to see was by wiping the inside glass with paper towels. The system malfunctionedover the past months and now is not operational.
I recently got a used car from my friend, but the climate control doesn't work on the car. The problem has been a long time, but i noticed this after getting this car to me from my friend, but she said she has had this problem for long time. The specific problem is that the audio panel doesn't work, the climate panel is with the audio panel, so the climate control does not work at all. So i cannot control my climate in my car, so the front and rear window defroster all the time, it is really hard to drive. When i checked this problem with dealer and on the web, it is really,,common problem in this year and this kind of car, but the company doesn't have recall for this problem, so the dealer said it costs more than $1,000 to change the panel and to fix all problem. This doesn't make sense at all. Please check this problem, and correct this,thankyou for reading my concern,
The climate control system stopped working, which includes the defroster. Luckily it occurred in the month of may and not in january when the snow flies, as it could have created a very serious safety issue due to the defroster not working. After looking on-line, this seems to be a very common issue to g35 owners and there are numerous blogs describing the same condition. It is due to an electrical failure within the controls for the radio & climate control systems. It appears the safety issue is being ignored, possibly because it's tied to the radio. If there haven't been any accidents/deaths attributed to this, it's probably only matter of time. Within the nhtsa complaints listing it has been reported numerous times. Please don't ignore it any longer. Imagine yourself on a trip cross county, in january, and the defroster stops working. You might have to continue driving just to get to a town. Or you might risk continuing your trip so as to get home to contact the dealership. I'm sure there are cases where people have done just that, risking the safety of themselves & others due to poor visibility. All because a car manufacturer won't stand behind their product and except responsibility. P.s. My vehicle has less than 69000 miles.
Unable to defog windows because all of the climate control buttons are inoperable.currently the climate control system is "stuck" at 71 degrees and the radio is completely out.
My 2003 inifinity g35 a/c and radio controls are stuck which is causing my windows to fog up....not a big deal during the summer, but this could be a major hazard for winter. Infinity says my car was manufactured after the recall date, but funny, the problems are all the same no matter when manufactured. Please help before this does kill someone!

This issue to need to reviewed and corrected.third defect: we have had to have the motor replaced twice in the drivers door that operates the electric window. Now the right door window is not working. If it does open it will get stuck and we have trouble getting it to come up. We have to keep it locked to avoid it being opened.
1) no specific event - one day stopped working.2)climate control panel failed in ac "on" mode at 66'f.cannot turn off.cannot access defrost/rear defogger buttons. Creates unsafe vehicle as lack of defrost/defogger prevents driver from seeing clearly in certain weather conditions.3) told by infinity consumer affairs that sedan vin does not fall into range of existing recall for ac/auto circuit board by nissan (infiniti). Requires consumer paid diagnostic to determine what failure mode is causing problem.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the defroster was inoperable, reducing visibility. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 125,000 and the current mileage was 140,000. Updated 09/02/11*ljupdated 09/14/11
The display on my radio started to go out and made it so i had no control over the radio and the ac/heater. It went off and on randomly for the past year, now my radio is completely dead and still have no control over my a/c controls so it blows at my feet. Now that temp. Outside is getting into the 30's, and i need my defrost to be able to see through my windshield but can't control it...
Common problem with the g35.audio finisher controls the climate control system and stereo.doesn't sound like it is dangerous but it is!no ability to use defrost in thunderstorm yesterday and had to pull over numerous times.called infiniti today and their recall does not cover my vin.they offer a goodwill replacement if you buy another car etc.car is not safe and i will not pay infinity $1500 to repair when they effectively concede they know there is a problem with the design and it is dangerous.
No specific event. Climate control panel failed in ac "on" mode at 70'f. Cannot turn off. Cannot access defrost/rear defogger buttons. Creates unsafe vehicle as lack of defrost/defogger prevents driver from seeing clearly in certain weather conditions. No radio controls. Understand a common problem.
The ac/heat controller stopped working. The ac was stuck at full, at 60 degrees which created mist on all of the windows. I was not able to turn on the defroster which made my driving dangerous.
The audio and temperature controls become inoperable because of a known issue with the audio finisher circuit board. My temperature was stuck at 90 degrees at maximum output, with no possible way to shut it off. There was a voluntary recall for 2003 g35 sedans with this issue (infiniti recall # p31040), but not for coupes. From online research, there appears to be numerous cases where the same issue has occurred on 2003 g35 coupes, but infiniti refuses to accept responsibility for repairs, because the vin #'s were not part of the original recall. I believe this is a safety defect that constitutes a recall for any g35 model with this known issue.
Ac/climate control circuit board is not functioning. There was a voluntary service campaign issued by infiniti (tb003-007, campaign id p3104), but only for certain vin numbers. Many other 2003 owners, not covered by the recall, are experiencing the same issue. This is a safety issue as rear and front window defrosters do not operate.
The radio will turn off by itself and turn back on a few seconds later. All of the buttons in the center console become inoperable. The a/c controls also become inoperable and turns on by itself. It just doesn't turn on though, it turns on 90 degrees and starts blasting out. This is a safely issue because as a driver we never know when this air is just going to start blasting out at us like fire. If infiniti is smart enough to recall the sedan, they should do the same thing with the coupes. It is clearly a common problem among the '03-'04 models. If they want to keep their reputable name they will do what is right.
The hvac controls on my g35 intermittently stop working making it impossible to operate the air or defroster. There was a recall associated with this but infiniti refuses to repair the vehicle.
Air conditioning blasts at all times that car engine is running. No way to control, lower or change the a/c defroster, heat or defogger. Radio panels are similarly "blacked out" meaning they are not within the control of the operator. Multiple safety complaints have been issued regarding this problem and the dealership has advised similar owners it will be $4,000 to rectify this problem. This is largely a safety concern. I have notified my insurance company of this issue as when toyota's were recalled and people were injured it was the insurance company, (state farm) that realized the severity of the situation first.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35.the contact stated that the control board (air conditioner/defrost/heat) was inoperative as well as the audio functions.the manufacturer was notified of the failure but denied any assistance with repairs to the failure. The dealer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 96,000 and the current mileage was 133,000.the vin was unavailable.
The defrost no longer works.it has short circuited the heat and ac unit.the entire unit controls the radio and cd player.can't control any of these functions.many people with the 2003 infinity g 35 have these problems.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe. The defrost became inoperable. The failure is related to the audio circuit board which controls the air conditioner and heat. The dealer was notified; however, there were no recalls related to her vin. The failure mileage was 83,000.
I have a 2003 infiniti g35.the center console, controlling the heater/ac and the radio is not working.i was told that there is a control board problem that infiniti is not claiming, yet according to the web, there are several complaining of the same problem.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35.the contact stated that the welding joint was coming apart and damaging the base.the dealer stated that the entire base was unsafe and needed to be replaced.the vehicle is currently at the dealer being repaired at the owner's expense.there is a service bulletin for the vehicle, but the number was unavailable.the failure and current mileages were 46,000.the consumer stated in january 20009, the driver's seat began to rock back forth whenever he accelerated from a complete stop. At first, the rocking was isolated to when acceleration occurred from a complete stop. However, after two weeks the rocking would occur when traveling at highway speeds of about 70 mph. Eventually, the condition of the driver's seat became so severe that the seat could be rocked back and forth without any person seated in it. The driver's seat assembly was replaced at the consumers expense.updated 02/09/11 the consumer stated while driving in inclement weather, the window defroster suddenly shut off on its own. At the same time, the air conditioner reset itself to 60 degrees and turned itself on at maximum force. The lights on the climate control panel and radio panel went dark. Attempts were made to shut off the air conditioner and restart the window defrosted, but the climate control button were non-responsive. It was discovered that the only way to control the radio was through the control buttons located on the steering wheel. Unlike the radio there was no secondary climate control button. Within 30 seconds of the window defroster shutting off, all of the windows inside the vehicle became foggy.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was discovered the audio finisher circuit board was defective and that along with the radio would have to be replaced at a cost of $ 1,329.01. The dealer stated the radio and climate controls were both intertwined with the audio finisher circuit board. Updated 09/10/12the consumer stated the audio finisher board was replaced.updated 10/10/1
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, several warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel warning her that the vehicle was slipping into different gears. The vehicle was also slow to respond when the contact attempted to accelerate or when decelerating. In addition, the heat would activate independently and the contact would have trouble turning the heater off. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 90,000.
The audio/climate controls on my 2003 infiniti g35 stopped working while my ac goes on full blast. Can't turn it off.i have no control of my radio. Called the dealer. They said it could be the radio ($900), the circuit board ($900) or both ($1800) plus tax. And that's on top of the diagnostics fee they will charge. Infiniti service advisor told me that because it's out of warranty, it's just like a bulb going out. What a ripoff. .
The climate control system malfunctioned.the blower went to the highest level and could not be adjusted using the controls.the display panel for the radio also went blank.tried to turned everything off but the controls did not work, therefore had to turn the car off.once the care was off i turn it back on and the fan blower was at medium, and i was still not able to adjust the temperature, defroster or other controls including the radio from the panel.i was able to adjust the radio from the steering wheel.the next day everything began to work.approximately one month later the same thing occurred lasting about two days before everything began to operated again.
Driving hazard b/c of not being able to control the climate, particularly the front and rear window defrosters.
Air conditioning/heating controls running full blast with zero ability to control. This is a safety issue as windows cannot be defrosted in the winter. Radio not working. Infiniti corporation is not warranting this issue, but refers customers to local dealerships.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe. The contact stated that the air would work consistently and would notturn off.the dealer and manufacturer were notified, but denied any assistance with repairing the defect. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was unavailable and the current mileage was 70,000.
Control panel totally inoperable. Ac blows at highest setting, unable to change any settings, unable to use defroster. Recall doesn't include my vin although it has the same problem as those recalled.
First, the cd player stopped working.then the control panels to the radio and thermostat stopped working.then the defroster for the windshield stopped working.now the battery is not functional - the engine has to be jumped so the car can be started.
The contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The radio, heater and air conditioning console had an electrical failure. He notified an infiniti dealer in reference to a recall, and was advised that the recall repair had previously been performed. The contact has to pay $1,300.00 to repair the vehicle. A representative from the manufacturer advised him that if he did not drive a hour and a half to an authorized dealer for an assessment, they would not provide any assistance. The current and failure mileages were approximately 85,000. Updated 11/10/09 the rear window defroster was inoperative. Updated 11/13/09.
The rear defrost interferes with the radio.you can't play the radio if it's raining.the jim colman infiniti dealer ordered the part that took 3 months to come in.when they finally installed the part it did not fix the problem.i was told they would have to replace the rear window, however they can't because my basic warranty had expired.i was still covered under the warranty when they ordered the part that didn't fix the problem.
While driving on an entrance ramp to highway the rear window shattered. There was no overpass where an object could have been dropped.the entrance rampat the point ofis long way from any other traffic.i fail to see how a small pebble could cause the rear window to shatter into so many pieces (this is what dealer claims)dt
The system controlling the ac and the radio completely stopped working and there is no longer any way to control it. All the power windows quit working as well. With so many reports would be nice if infiniti took some responsibility and addressed the issues.
Window motor.
Driver side window motor failed. Window is stuck in up position. This is a safely hazard as occupant cannot use window as an exit from the automobile.
Since i bought my g35 coupe, i've been having problems with my driver side window, currently stopped working, it wouldn't go down. It would be my 4th time i replaced window motor, is not cheap. Out of nowhere my window go down when is closed, water gets in when raining. Then when finally i get to close the window, it would not go down. Infiniti needs to make this problem an official recall and replace all the window motors. I love my car, i don't know what else to do. I cannot afford paying for new window motor. Please help me and all infiniti owners. Thanks
2003 infiniti g35 with a recall on the engine. Customer states that the dealer told her that her car was not included in the recall even though the symptoms were the same. Dealer refused to fix it unless she paid 11,000 dollars to fix it.the dealer informed the consumer the engine shut down because the piston broke causing it to hit the engine which put a hole in the engine block. The consumer had a used engine put in the vehicle on july 24, 2006 but, one year later the engine failed. The consumer stated she has hadnumerous problems with the brakes, the driver's seat made a constant noise, the 6 cd changer malfunctioned and ceased to operate and the window motor was replaced.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash.infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by vin # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition.infiniti says my 2003 vin # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (vin # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem.infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00.i have 2 other friends that are having the same problem with their 2003 g35 infiniti's, also not covered by the service bulletin.
