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. *TR

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. *TR

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 BETWEEN MECHANIC 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. *TR

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. *TR
