2003 INFINITI G35 Complaints

1. INTERMITTENT NO CONTROL OF AC AND RADIO. 2. NON FUNCTIONING STEREO/RADIO AND NO CONTROL OVER AC 3. NONE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN V6 BEGINNING IN JUNE 2009 MY RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND MY AC WOULD KICK ON FULL BLAST. IN JULY IT GOT WORSE AND ULTIMATELY I LOST ALL CONTROLS OF RADIO AND AIR CONTROLS INCLUDING THE DEFROSTER. MAJOR PROBLEM HERE IS I HAVE NO CONTROL OF A/C WHICH RUNS MY GAS DOWN AND NO CONTROL OF THE DEFROSTER WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE COLD A MOIST MONTHS. I CAN'T AFFORD THE COST OF FIXING THE RADIO. APPARENTLY THE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE IS A FAULTY RADIO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF MY RADIO DIES WHY SHOULD MY DEFROSTER NOT BE ACCESSIBLE. *TR

AC STUCK ON BLOWING AIR, BUTTONS NOT WORKING, RADIO CONTROLS ONLY WORKS THROUGH STEERING CONTROLS. *TR

THE AC UNIT/RADIO ARE NOT IN WORKING ORDER. THE AC IS STUCK ON AT 74 AND RANGES FROM BLOWING AIR FULL BLAST TO THE LOWEST SETTING VERY SPORADICALLY. THERE IS NO POWER TO THE RADIO AND EITHER OF THE TWO CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF UP OR DOWN. THIS IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE SINCE WE LIVE WHERE IT IS VERY HOT! ALSO WORRIED THAT WITH IT BEING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE A FIRE COULD ARISE! NOT VERY IMPRESSED FOR DRIVING AN INFINITI AND THOUGHT THEY LIVED UP TO A BETTER REPUTATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINTI G35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THE CONTROL SELECTOR MODE FOR THE RADIO WAS ENGAGED AND SUDDENLY CAUSED THE DEFROST AND THE HEATING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHICH BECAME WORSE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND OCCURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 10/13/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON IS STUCK IN THE AC-ON POSITION. THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS TO CHANGE TO HEAT, TO SET TEMPERATURE AND OPERATE THE DEFROSTER DO NOT WORK AND THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK. UPDATED 10/26/09 *BF THE CLIMATE CONTROL IS STUCK IN THE AC-ON POSITION. THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS ARE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE HEAT SETTINGS ETC. UPDATED 10/28/09.*JB

THE DEFROST NO LONGER WORKS. IT HAS SHORT CIRCUITED THE HEAT AND AC UNIT. THE ENTIRE UNIT CONTROLS THE RADIO AND CD PLAYER. CAN'T CONTROL ANY OF THESE FUNCTIONS. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2003 INFINITY G 35 HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE A/C AND RADIO CONTROLS IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO TURN ON THE FRONT OR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS. I COULD BARELY SEE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS WELL KNOWN AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1600 TO FIX!! THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL BECOME AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN YOU NEED THE WINDOW DEFROSTER ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

MY 2003 G35 COUPE HAVE BRAKE PROBLEM WHERE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR WILL WEAR OUT SO QUICK. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 2 SETS OF PADS AND ROTOR WITHIN 40KM. RICHMOND NISSAN REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR ME UNDER WARRANTY. I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF AT MY OWN COST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT HAD THE CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED IN 2003 ACCORDING TO A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DUE TO MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES. A FEW YEARS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE DEFROST AND RADIO ALSO FAILED. SHE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED BY A TECHNICIAN THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIO. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE SHE SUSPECTS THAT THE TECHNICIANS HAVE INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

2003 INIFINITI G35 SEDAN LURCHES FORWARD WHEN CAR IS STOPPED. THE CAR ACCELERATES UNTIL BRAKES ARE SEVERELY DEPRESSED. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS AND IN MY GARAGE. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
