MY INFINITI G 35 FIRST BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CD PLAYER. IT NO LONGER WORKS, BUT HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO THE RADIO AND AC OR HEATER FREEZING UP. IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME GOES ON. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT I CAN NOT CONTROL THE DEFROST OR HEAT WHEN IT FREEZES. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND YESTERDAY THE HEATER ON THE CAR TURNED ITSELF UP TO 90 DEGREES WITH THE BLOWER AT FULL BLAST. MY DAUGHTER IS A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN SHE DRIVES BACK HOME ON WEEKENDS THAT SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE DEFROSTER THIS WINTER. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND WOULD HATE FOR HER TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER. WE ALSO NEVER KNOW IF THE AIR OR HEAT WILL TURN TO ITS LOW OR HIGH WITH THE BLOWER AT FULL SPEED. SEVERAL CAR MECHANICS HAVE MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 INFINITI G 35'S. ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS WEBSITES WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL.*TR

A/C CONTROLS/ELECTRICAL FAILING ON VEHICLE... DURING SUMMER MONTHS DO NOT HAVE ABILITY TO LOWER A/C (BLOWS HOT AIR). DURING WINTER MONTHS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO HEATER OR WINDOW DEFROSTER CREATING ROAD HAZARD AND PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUES. 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35. THE RADIO, HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING CONSOLE HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. HE NOTIFIED AN INFINITI DEALER IN REFERENCE TO A RECALL, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT HAS TO PAY $1,300.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM THAT IF HE DID NOT DRIVE A HOUR AND A HALF TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR AN ASSESSMENT, THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 85,000. UPDATED 11/10/09 *BF THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS INOPERATIVE. UPDATED 11/13/09.*JB

RADIO/AC WENT OUT AND ARE MALFUNCTIONING. I STARTED MY CAR AND WHEN TURNING ON THE RADIO THE AC WENT TO AUTO AC AND WENT UP TO LEVEL 5 WITH OUT ANY WARNING. MY RADIO FOLLOWED BY NOT WORKING. ALL LIGHTS ON THE RADIO AC CONSOLE WENT OUT AND I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL EITHER FROM STEERING WHEEL OR CONSOLE. THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. OVER 1700 COMPLAINTS FOUND RELATED TO THIS TOPIC WITH 2003 G35 INFINITI'S. *TR

THERE IS AN APPARENT KNOWN DEFECT IN THE 2003 INFINITI G35 MODELS. THE RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL WILL APPARENTLY LOSE ALL INDICATORS, AS IF THERE IS NO POWER, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION, STAYING FROZEN ON AT THEIR LAST SETTINGS. THE RADIO VOLUME OR CHANNELS CANNOT BE CHANGED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER,ETC. ARE STUCK ON THEIR LAST SETTINGS AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BOARD BEHIND THE DASH. INFINITI/NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (# ITB03-007B) TO REPAIR THE 26,300 VEHICLES LISTED BY VIN # ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A HAZARD , AS IN THE WINTER, THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROSTERS CANNOT BE TURNED ON, OR THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. INFINITI SAYS MY 2003 VIN # DOES NOT FALL INTO THE BULLETIN PARAMETERS, (VIN # IS HIGHER), AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. INFINITI STATES THE COST TO REPAIR.........$2600.00. I HAVE 2 OTHER FRIENDS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2003 G35 INFINITI'S, ALSO NOT COVERED BY THE SERVICE BULLETIN. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE BULLETIN DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO COVER THIS DEFECT ON A LARGER QUANTITY OF VEHICLES THAN INFINITI WANTS TO ADMIT. *TR

MY 2003 INIFINITY G35 A/C AND RADIO CONTROLS ARE STUCK WHICH IS CAUSING MY WINDOWS TO FOG UP....NOT A BIG DEAL DURING THE SUMMER, BUT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR HAZARD FOR WINTER. INFINITY SAYS MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE RECALL DATE, BUT FUNNY, THE PROBLEMS ARE ALL THE SAME NO MATTER WHEN MANUFACTURED. PLEASE HELP BEFORE THIS DOES KILL SOMEONE! *TR
