2004 INFINITI G35 Complaints

THE WINDOW MOTORS AND DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS KEEP FAILING AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED, THE LASER RED PAINT KEEPS CHIPPING, THE BRAKES MAKE A STRANGE NOISE EVERY SO OFTEN, AND THE AIR FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS IS USUALLY WARM AS OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING. INFINITI REFUSES TO RESOLVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ACTUATORS OR WINDOW MOTORS, ALTHOUGH THEIR MECHANICS HAVE STATED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE IS A HIGH NUMBER OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FLASH WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V555000. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN BE REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 49,000.

THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE HORRIBLE. I CONTINUE TO HAVE TO HAVE THEM CHECKED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT FELT ABNORMAL PULSATION WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAD THE REAR AND FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND PADS REPLACED. ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,802 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,042. UPDATED 2/18/09 *CN THE STEERING WHEEL KNUCKLE WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 05/20/09.*JB

EVIDENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES ON INFINITI G35 MODELS. I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE OF 2004. I HAVE 61, 300 MILES ON THE CAR. MY THROTTLE BODY JUST BROKE AND ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND IS ONLY COVERED BY MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY FOR 4 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. IN 3 STATES IT IS COVERED FOR 7 YEARS AND 70,000. IF THE PROBLEM IS THAT COMMON, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE 7 YEARS AND 70,000 FOR ALL STATES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT SMELLS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER THE IGNITION WAS STARTED. IN ADDITION, SHE MUST REFILL THE GASOLINE IN HER VEHICLE EVERY TWO DAYS. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED AFTER TWO DAYS. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE GASOLINE SYSTEM. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V555000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SHE FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE SHE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

THE HOOD ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35X FAILED AT THE HINGES. THE HOOD IS NOW ELEVATED ABOVE THE LINE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND WILL NOT CLOSE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE HOOD WAS MERELY OPENED, AND THE HINGES FAILED. I AM CONCERNED HAT THE HOOD WILL OPEN OR FLY OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR BE PUSHED INTO THE INTERIOR CABIN DURING AN ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND INFINITI REFUSE TO FIX THE HOOD UNDER THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY RESEARCH INTO THIS HOOD ISSUE HAS UNCOVERED OTHER OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL FAILURES. *TR

ON THEIR OWN, WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE WINDOWS WILL BOTH POWER DOWN. THIS WILL OCCUR MINUTES OR HOURS AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR IS LOCKED. I WAS TOLD THEIR IS A SHORT TO THE CAR BODY, MOST LIKELY CAUSED WATER CORRODING THE POWER WINDOW CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY LOCATED AT THE DOORS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO REST FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT RESTARTED. THE FAILURE HAS PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 78,000.

PLASTIC SEPARATION TRIM INSIDE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY (BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE) THAT SEPARATES THE UPPER FROM THE LOWER HEADLAMP IS CRACKING. THE CRACK IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY LARGER. IF THE CRACK PROGRESSES IT WILL CAUSE THE PLASTIC TO COMPLETELY SEPARATE AND BROKEN PIECE WILL BLOCK THE LIGHT BEAM. *TR
