NHTSA complaint #11269350 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD IS MELTING CAUSING A STICKY RESIDUE WHICH CAUSES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING. THE GLARE IS SO BLINDING THAT I HATE TO DRIVE WHEN IT'S SUNNY OUTSIDE AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ AND SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR BUT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUE A RECALL. THERE APPEARS TO BE ISSUED RECALLS FOR CERTAIN MODELS SUCH FX35, M35 AND SOME ALTIMAS BUT THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE MUCH LARGER PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE START TO LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER THIS EGREGIOUSNESS AND NEGLIGENCE AND THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS/SHOULD FORCE NISSAN TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS.

NHTSA complaint #11031521 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SHINY CREATING A REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT OBSTRUCTS VISION. IT'S BLINDING WHEN THE SUN IS SETTING AND THE VEHICLE IS FACING WEST. IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH AT DUSK OR DAWN, BUT THIS ADDED DANGEROUS GLARE MAKES IT A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DASH IS ALSO LIKE PUTTY. IF I TOUCH IT, IT ACTUALLY MOLDS TO WHERE MY FINGER MOVES. THAT'S NOT DANGEROUS, BUT THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD SHOULDN'T BE AN ACCEPTABLE PROBLEM FOR NISSAN/INFINITI. IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM!
NHTSA complaint #10824240 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
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.

MELTING DASHBOARD FIRST NOTICED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. THIS YEAR IS HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE AND MANY CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD EXPANDING. DIFFICULT TO CLEARLY SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE GLARE PRODUCED BY THE SHINY MELTED DASHBOARD. INFINITI UNRESPONSIVE.

MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE DASH, WHERE THE HEATING CONTROLS AND THE RADIO CONTROLS ARE. WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE HEATER AND RADIO CONTROLS JUST CUT OUT. IT GETS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT IS RAINING, BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WILL FOG UP, AND IN THE WINTER IT GETS VERY COLD. ....UPDATED 04/02/15

MY DASH HAS THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THE NEWS CHANNEL LINK BELOW. MY CAR IS A 2007. FROM 2005 UNTIL JUST RECENTLY IN 2014 I TRAVELED FOR WORK M-F, AND WHEN I DID MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. YET STILL, MY DASH APPEARS TO BE MELTING.

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

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.

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.
NHTSA complaint #10626688 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
BELOW IS WHAT INFINITI SENT OUT. I AM 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 ARE EXACTLY 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 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.
NHTSA complaint #10597238 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ON 3/25 AT APPROX. 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON THE FLORIDA TPKE. AT APPROX 65-70 MPH WHEN I SUDDENLY HEAR A LOUD "SWOOSH" AND NOTICED THAT THE SHADE BENEATH MY MOONROOF WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE SHOCK NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I REACHED UP OPENED THE SLIDING SHADE COVER TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS PORTION OF MY SUNROOF WAS GONE. AT THIS POINT I REALLY GOT NERVOUS THINKING THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE HIT THE CAR OR MOTORCYCLE BEHIND ME CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I CALLED 911 WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO FLORIDA HWY PATROL. I GAVE THE OFFICER MY NAME & LOCATION AND HE INSTRUCTED ME TO STAY WHERE I WAS. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES HE CAME BACK ON THE PHONE TO TELL ME THAT THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT PROBABLY HIT THE GROUND AND SHATTERED. WHATEVER THE CASE, I FELT RELIEVED AND DROVE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO INFINITI WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT HAPPY WITH THAT I WAS GIVEN THE TELEPHONE # TO INFINITI CUSTOMER CARE DEPT. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH THEY INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY, AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN, HOW THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, AND WHAT PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SHOULD I HAVE DONE TO AVOID THIS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE MY ANYTHING IN WRITING OTHER THAN THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY OR TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THIS TO LITIGATION BUT I FELT A NEED AND RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT SO THAT IT COULD BE ADDRESSED. IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

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.
