2003 INFINITI G35 Complaints

CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING (ENGINE WOULD DIE OUT) THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I WENT TO INFINITI DEALER TO GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE "CAM POSITION SENSOR" THAT WAS BAD, YET DIDN'T TELL ME AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM (ITB03-072 SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN) I HAD MY PERSONAL MECHANIC FIX AT MY EXPENSE. SHOULD THEY HAVE FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS PART OF RECALL? PLEASE HELP ME RECUPERATE MY MONEY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

INFINITI G35 AC AND AUDIO PANEL NOT WORKING, AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR IN INCLIMATE WEATHER DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OR ENGAGE THE DEFROST SO I CAN SEE OUT THE WINDOWS. VERY DANGEROUS - THREAT TO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT'S THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD THAT HAS FAILED. THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO INSTALL A NEW RADIO. EITHER OF THESE REPAIRS WILL BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. UNABLE TO GET INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. VIN NOT COVERED UNDER THE VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN - FALLS JUST OUT OF RANGE. EVERY ONE OF THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENTS. UNCLEAR WHY ONLY A SELECT FEW VINS WERE RECALLED. THOUSANDS OF US HAVE COMPLAINED. WHY IS NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? *TT

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. *TR
