2003 INFINITI G35 Complaints

CONTROLS ON CONSOLE FOR HEATING/AIR/DEFROSTER AND RADIO FAILED & REMAIN INOPERABLE. HEAT/AIR ARE LOCKED ON AT 75 DEGREES & CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. CANNOT TURN ON DEFROSTER. AS A CONSEQUENCE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN DEFROSTER IS NECESSARY. NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AND ARE ON THIS SITE. IN FEB 2003 INFINITI DID A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE A CIRCUIT BOARD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FOR EARLY 2003 VEHICLES, BUT MY VEHICLE AND UNTOLD OTHERS WERE NOT COVERED AS VIN WAS SUBSEQUENT TO CARS COVERED BY RECALL. INFINITI NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARDS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY SISTER-IN-LAW TO MACARTHUR AIRPORT IN ISLIP, NY. WE CAME TO A RED LIGHT JUST OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUT IT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT I FELT THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO MOVE AS THOUGH THERE WAS ANOTHER FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. FORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT THAT MUCH THRUST INVOLVED. I KEPT PRESSING HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT INCHING FORWARD AT ABOUT 2 MPH. I WASN'T SURE IF I COULD STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (FORTUNATELY I ALWAYS LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM). SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK AS WE STOPPED SUDDENLY. LUCKILY WE ALL HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PEDAL. MAYBE THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE FROM THE AIRPORT THAT MESSED WITH MY CAR'S ELECTRONICS? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE DEFROST BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE IS RELATED TO THE AUDIO CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH CONTROLS THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEAT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO HER VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

MY 2003 INFINITI G-35 RADIO WENT OUT WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. MY A/C COMES ON WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR ON AND I CAN NOT TURN IT OFF. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WON'T GO UP AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WILL NOT STOP MOVING EVEN AFTER I HAVE LET GO OF THE BUTTONS. IT FOLDED MY PASSENGER LIKE A SANDWICH. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE INFINITI DEALER THE SALEMANS SAID THAT THE AUDIO SYSTEM INSTALLED IN MY YEARS MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER WAS DEFECTED AND THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE LIFE OF THIS SYSTEM WOULD ONLY LAST ABOUT FIVE YEARS. *TR

MY AC/BOSE STEREO SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE. I CANNOT TURN THE SYSTEM ON AT ALL. THE A/C IS ALSO STUCK ON AND I CAN'T CONTROL IT. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY INFINITI G35 2003, WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE GOING SLOW MY ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR, BEYOND MY CONTROL, I HIT THE GAS PEDAL HARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT WHILE PANICKING TRYING TO RELEASE IT. I WAS COMING TO AN INTERSECTION I HAD TO STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST EXACTLY BUT IT WAS OVER 100 MPH. IT HAPPENED VERY FAST, I DID TRY TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT MISSED AND HIT REVERSE I THEN WENT SIDEWAYS AND MY CAR MADE SOME VERY WEIRD WHINING SOUNDS. I THEN SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. I SHOULD'VE DONE THAT FIRST BUT IN THAT SITUATION YOU JUST PANIC. AFTER COASTING TO A LONG STOP I STARTED IT AGAIN. SAME THING STILL 8K RPMS, PEDAL STILL AT THE FLOOR, I SHUT IT OFF AND INSPECTED MY PEDAL IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. NO FLOOR MAT GRABBED IT (LIKE INFINITY INSISTED HAPPENED) AND I AM 150 PERCENT SURE I DID NOT DEPRESS MY PEDAL THEN OR EVER TO THE FLOOR FOR WHICH IT COULD STICK. *TR

CENTER CONSOLE CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT OPERATE. CAN'T OPERATE DEFROSTER AND CAN'T SEE OUT FRONT WINDSHIELD. *TR

FAILURE OF HEAT,AIR & RADIO CONTROLS 2003 INFINITI G35. RECALL FOR2003 MODEL SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL BUT PER INFINITI THIS CAR IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL.CAR TAKEN TO KEARNY MESA INFINITI THEY FOUND THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED. I THE VIN # SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDED ALL 2003 G35 AS THEY HAVE THE SAME CIRCUIT BOARD. *TR

SOMETHING WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ONE DAY WHILE TRYING TO START THE CAR AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS, EVERYTHING FLICKERED (HEADLIGHTS, DASHLIGHTS, CONTROL PANEL) AND THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. CHARGED THE BATTERY AND THEN THE RADIO, AC/HEATER/DEFROSTER DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE CENTER CONSOLE, CONTROLLING THE HEATER/AC AND THE RADIO IS NOT WORKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A CONTROL BOARD PROBLEM THAT INFINITI IS NOT CLAIMING, YET ACCORDING TO THE WEB, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
