Dashboard deteriorating and appears "melting" when in hot environment. Have read of dangerous chemicals being produced when hot in a CAS Letter to NHTSA Regarding Nissan “Melting” Dashboards – October 6, 2021 (attached) as well as being a safety hazard from the film produced causing windshield glare and/or film restricting vision. Condition has existed since purchase (date below) and progressively getting worse. Only now found information about the cause but no remedy available outside of a new dash?

05 G35 AUTO SEDAN. GAS GAUGE NOT READING AMOUNT OF GAS CORRECTLY FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. WASTED OVER 900$ IN PARTS. NEW AND USED TO TRY AND GET IT FIXED. NOTHING WORKED. REPLACED FUEL PUMP, LEVEL SENDER UNITS AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS 3 TIME. UPSET NHTSA AND MFR. ARE NOT RECALLING TO FIX THIS ISSUES. A LOT OF VEHICLES HAVING SAME LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS. FOLKS IN FORUMS AND YOUTUBE AND SOCIAL MEDIAS ALL TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT YET NO ONE'S DOING ANYTHING. AFTER THREE TIMES MY CAR STALLED ON ME I HAD ENOUGH, BECAUSE IT'S MATTER OF TIME WHEN THE NEXT ONE END IN DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. 1ST TIME CAR RAN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY 99 AND A CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THE GAS AT THE TIME WAS READING 1/4 AND NO LOW GAS INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. CAR SHUDDER WITH NO ACCELERATION WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PRESS DOWN. THEN ALL ELECTRICAL AND POWER WENT OUT WITH NO CONTROL EXCEPT FOR HARD STEERING. I MANAGED TO PULL TO SHOULDER FROM THE CAR POOL LANE BEFORE CAR DIED. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS ON THE FREEWAY THAT MOMENT IT STARTED DYING ON ME. 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE MAIN STREET AND SAME SYMPTOMS AS FIRST TIME AS ABOVE. THEN I LOOKED AT MY GAS GAUGE AND IT SAYS 1/2 FULL! BUT CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND AGAIN I MANAGED TO PULL TO A SAFE AREA AWAY FROM TRAFFICS. ONLY THIS TIME I WAS THINKING I HAD ENOUGH GAS BC IT WAS READING 1/2 OF GAS LEFT IN THE TANK. BUT NO GAS INDICATOR LIGHTED UP AND CAR SPUDDER AND ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO SLOW DOWN AND DIED. I KEPT TRYING TO START THE CAR BUT ALL IT DID WAS JUST CRANK AND CRANKS, BUT DOESN'T TURNOVER AND START. 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THIS TIME A CAR CAME WITHIN 1FT. OF RAMMING ME FROM BEHIND AS IT SWERVED AWAY HONKING AT ME WHEN MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. I LOOKED AT GAS GAUGE AND WAS READING 3/4 FULL AND AGAIN NO LOW GAS INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUS 2 OCCASIONS. PLEASE RECALL.

DESPITE BEING GARAGED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED 13 YEARS AGO, BEING WELL CARED FOR (SINGLE OWNER), AND LOW MILEAGE (JUST TURNED OVER 92K), THE DASH HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS EXTENDING THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE. THESE STARTED TO APPEAR ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO AND HAVE CONTINUED TO EXTEND AND WORSEN.

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE IT SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF BLOCKAGE. INSTEAD OF A CLEAR SOUND IT'S AS IF THERE IS A COVER OVER IT. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. SO WHEN I 1ST START DRIVING IT'S FINE AT LEAST I THINK IT IS BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE GETS WARMED UP ALL THE WAY. I START TO NOTICE A SLIGHT SMELL OF GAS. AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE SMELL GETS WORSE AND WORSE. SO BAD THAT HAVING ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN WON'T RID THE SMELL. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE. I'VE HAD THE BEST MECHANICS LOOK AT IT. I'VE EVEN HAD INFINITY LOOK AT IT. THEY STATED IT WAS THE FUEL CAMDNER. IT WASN'T. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THE O2 SENSOR AND TUBE. A FEW OTHER THINGS AS WELL. BUT NOTHING WILL FIX IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. I GET SO LIGHT HEADED IF I DRIVE NOT TO MENTION I CAN'T BREATHE. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE COUPE 2005 INFINITI G35 IS MELTING AND BECOMES STICKY REGARDLESS OF CLEANING. TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME CRACKED AND COMPROMISED, WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN AIRBAG ISSUE DOWN THE LINE. ASIDE, FROM THE AIRBAG, I BELIEVE THIS MATERIALS COULD BE HAZARDOUS AS THEY MUST BE OF LOW QUALITY TO "MELT" WHEN IT ISN'T IN MUCH SUNLIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS GARAGED EVERY DAY AND HAS ONLY AROUND 70000 MILES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. UPON LOOKING AT FORUM AND PICTURES FROM OTHER INFINITI AND NISSAN OWNERS, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH I AM NOT ALONE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

I OWN A 2005 G35 COUPE AND STARTED NOTICING THAT THE MOTOR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MY YEAR OF CAR HAS PROBLEMS WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. SO I CALLED MY LOCAL INFINITY AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN PERFORM THE TEST BUT IF I WANT TO FIX IT, ILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. IS THAT RIGHT? ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO FIX IT? IS IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL?
