2003 INFINITI G35 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO ACTIVATED, SUDDENLY THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER AND RADIO BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I HAVE A 2003 INFINITY G35 COUPE MY RADIO DOES NOT WORK AND HAVE LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING I BELIEVE THIS IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM DO TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS WHEN THEY FOG UP. *TR

THE AUTO A/C POPS ON ALL BY ITSELF, DISABLING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CONTROLS. THE RADIO LIGHTS AND BUTTONS NO LONGER WORK, THE FAN OR TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED, AND THE DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE USED. THE DEALERSHIP CONCLUDED THAT THE ENTIRE RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, A PROBLEM THAT IS SO COMMON ON THESE CARS THAT THE REBUILT RADIO PART TO FIX IT IS OFTEN BACKORDERED. ONCE AGAIN IT APPEARS THAT GOOD 'OL INFINITI/NISSAN HAS ISSUED AN INFERIOR TSB FOR THE PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SCOPE OF VINS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. SO IF YOU DON'T DIE FROM YOUR DEFECTIVE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR STALLING YOU OUT AT 65MPH, BE SURE TO WATCH OUT FROM CRASHING FROM THE FOG ON YOUR WINDSHIELD BECAUSE YOUR DEFROSTER WON'T WORK. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL OUT AT 50 MPH+ AND CONTROL OF POWER STEERING WOULD BE LOST (BATTERY LIGHT & VDC LIGHT WOULD COME ON DASH), RENDERING THE VEHICLE A DANGEROUSLY FAST MOVING LEAD SLED. POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD RESUME AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM YIELDED NO EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. AFTER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THE SENSOR WOULD GET TOO HOT AND SHUT DOWN, CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF COOLING, POWER WOULD RESUME. APPARENTLY A TSE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THE VIN FOR MY CAR SINCE IT WAS PRODUCED LATER IN THE MODEL YEAR. THE SENSOR (A $40 COST PART!) WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY AFTER PUTTING UP A FIGHT. INFINITI/NISSAN NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THE SCOPE OF AFFECTED VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE OR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD SOMEONE DIE WHEN THEIR CAR STALLS OUT AT 65MPH. *TR

THE HVAC CONTROLS ON MY G35 INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPERATE THE AIR OR DEFROSTER. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BUT INFINITI REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND CRANK SHAFT SENSOR HAS GONE BAD. THERE WAS A NISSAN RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. *TR

AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY WHO STATED THAT THE BANK ONE POSITION CRANK SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AGAIN WHO REPLACED THE BANK ONE POSITION CRANK SHIFT SENSOR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 INFINITI G35 IN THE HIGHWAY THE RADIO MADE A CLICK AND REMAINED SILENT FOLLOWED BY THE AC AUTOMATICALLY COMING ON AT FULL POWER. THE DASH CONTROLS CAN NO LONGER BE ACCESSED . AT THE TIME IT IS BOTHERSOME BUT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS THE CAR IS AT DANGER. IF THIS WAS WINTER EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE FOGGED UP AND WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER . I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM .THIS PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TAKING IT INTO CONTEXT. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD BUT IT ONLY INCLUDED 23600 CARS. INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COVER THE COST. *TR
