EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.

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 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.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL

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 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.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.

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.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL

MY INFINITI CAR'S(G35 2003) RADIO/AC CONTROLS HAVE FAILED. I CAN ONLY OPERATE THE RADIO FROM MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROL.( CANNOT OPERATE THE AC/HEATER. LUCKILY IT IS WINTER TIME AND IS 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 AS THIS FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY CAN BE FATAL , ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS-HOT OR COLD WEATHER , WITH SMALL KIDS/INFANTS, IN AN ISOLATED REGION.

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.

EQUIPMENT

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.

EQUIPMENT

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.

EQUIPMENT

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.

EQUIPMENT

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 IS TOTALLY 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.

EQUIPMENT

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.

EQUIPMENT

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.

ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE, THE A/C STARTED BLOWING ON HIGH NO CONTROLS. THE RADIO WON'T WORK.

NHTSA complaint #10339265 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

EQUIPMENT

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.

EQUIPMENT

I HAVE 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKED BACK-AND-FORTH. TOOK IT TO INFINITI DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY HAD SEPARATED DUE TO FAULTY WELD JOINTS! DEALER STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY SEAT WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. DEALER ALSO STATED THAT IF I DIDN'T PAY THE $1,100.00 TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND I WAS IN ANY KIND OF CAR ACCIDENT, THE FAULTY DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY WOULD CAUSE THE SEAT TO BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE CAR AND CAUSE THE SEAT TO BE THROWN ABOUT INSIDE THE CAR. I THEREFORE PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACED. HOWEVER, A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE ROCKING IS STARTING AGAIN! CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLIES THAT ARE COMING DIRECTLY FROM NISSAN, WHICH OWNS INFINITI! IN FACT, ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEBSITE, OTHER NISSAN CARS FROM 2003, LIKE THE 350Z ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SEATS! CLEARLY THIS IS WORTHY OF SOME TIME OF INVESTIGATION OR RECALL SINCE THE NHTSA HAS ON FILE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS SAME ISSUE FROM NISSAN CARS!

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.

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. *TR 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.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.

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.
