EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
WHILE DRIVING, AC CAME ON FULL BLAST AND I COULD NOT CONTROL IT. NONE OF THE BUTTONS WORKED ON THE UNIT AT ALL. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THEIR FIX IS THE CONTROLLER BOARD OR AFTERMARKET RADIO SYSTEM. I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET RADIO/GPS UNIT INSTALLED, BUT IT STILL HAVE ZERO CONTROL OVER AC UNIT. NO PROBLEM WITH RADIO EVER. ALL OF THIS IS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES I CAN CONTROL IT, BUT IT WANT LAST LONG. DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN THIS WINTER, SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. I'LL KEEP RESEARCHING.

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.

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.

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!

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.
