2003 INFINITI G35 Complaints

OIL CONSUMPTION, INFINITI G35 COUPE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL AFTER 1,000 MILES, OCCURS ALL THE TIME. I KEEP ADDING OIL AND CHECKING CONTINUOUSLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

WELL I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM BELLFLOWER AUTO MART THINKING THAT I BOUGHT A PRETTY DEPENDABLE CAR COME TO FIND OUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS DRINKING AND DRIVING AND TOTALED THE CAR, SO NOW THE CAR SHOULD HAVE A SALVAGE TITLE BUT IT DOESNT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THE CAR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, THE DEALER BOUGHT THE WRECKED CAR FROM AUCTION AND REPAIRED IT THEMSELVES AND SOLD IT TO ME AS IF IT WAS NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENT, I ASKED FOR THE CARFAX REPORT BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY SLIPPED MY MIND AFTER ALL THE PAPER WORK, BUT I WENT THE NEXT DAY TO RETURN THE CAR AFTER I FOUND ALL THIS OUT AND WAS KICKED OFF THE PROPERTY. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITY G35 SEDAN. THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM OFTEN TURNS ON BY IT SELF. DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG SO IT IS HAD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN ON THE ONLINE FORUMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE $ 1,200 TO REPLACE THESE UNITS. *TR

OWNED A 2003 INFINITI I35. IT BEGAN TO STALL WHILE RUNNING, AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, STREET SPEEDS, AT STOP LIGHTS. MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT PROBLEMS CONTINUED. WE SOLD VEHICLE DUE TO ISSUES AND NEEDING RELIABLE VEHICLE. TWO MONTHS AFTER SELLING IT, OUR OTHER 2003 INFINITI, A G35 COUPE, BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK TO INFINITI DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ERROR WAS P0340 AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $600. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER MY VIN DID NOT FIT WITHIN RECALL NUMBERS. IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON WEB, I FOUND PROBABLY 10-15 OTHER OWNERS OF G35 COUPES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE AND INFINITI IS SAYING, SORRY, BUT YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I CALLED INFIINITI, THEY STATED THAT EXACTLY AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY OTHER THAN PAYING FOR REPAIR OURSELVES. IT IS A SCARY, DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT CORRECTED, OR ANOTHER ISSUES AROSE, WITH THE RECALL. A G35 COUPE IS A SMALL, LOW-RIDING CAR, AND I HAVE A CHILD IN THE BACK. IF YOU ARE GOING AT INTERSTATE SPEED WITH A SEMI ON YOUR TAIL AND YOUR CAR STALLS, YOUR CHILD IN THE BACK, AND POSSIBLY YOURSELF, WOULD NOT SURVIVE THIS CRASH. INFINITI SAID, YES, THEY DID HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT STILL WOULD NOT REMEDY. I ASKED IF A PERSON HAS TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY WE NO LONGER HAVE THE I35 TO PROVE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WE ARE GETTING THE G35 REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BUT I AM FURIOUS THAT THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR BY INFINITI. I WILL TRY TO RETAIN THE PART TO THE G35. *TR

2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER NOT STARTING VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS. THE CD PLAYER IS THE CULPRIT AND THE "EJECT" CONTINUES TO CYCLE EVEN WITH THE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 MONTHS THAT THE NEW BATTERY IS DEAD AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS. *TR

MY 2003 INFINITY G35 HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO WHICH CAUSES THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM TO FREEZE UP DEFROSTER WILL NOT WORK FRONT OR REAR CAUSING FOGGING WHEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES THIS IMPAIRS MY VISION AND CREATES A DANGEROUS CONDITION INFINITY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS THEY RECALLED SOME VEHICLES SO THEIR AWARE OF THIS CONDITION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 G35 INFINITI FAILED AFTER ONLY 76,000 MILES. I CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. I HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED FOR $4,000 PLUS AFTER NEGOTIATING WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN SUCH A MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE AFTER ON A LUXURY CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT MECHANISM IS FAULTY AND PREVENTS HER FROM ADJUSTING THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 6-7 MONTHS DUE TO THE FAULTY SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, BUT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 85,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22566 UPDATED 4/14/09 *CN UPDATED 04/17/09.*JB

INTERMITTENT HEATER, DEFROSTER, AC, AUDIO FAILURE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH REGARD TO THE INABILITY TO DEFROST / DE-ICE THE WIND SHIELD. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS. NO RESPONSE OR SUPPORT FROM INFINITY. *TR

PROBLEM STARTED WITH RADIO NOT DISPLAYING ANY LIGHTS OR SCRIPT ACROSS DISPLAY. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THE RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON UNTIL THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STILL WOULD NOT DISPLAY ANY LIGHTS THE WHOLE TIME. A FEW DAYS LATER THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS STOPPED BEING ACCESSIBLE. THE BUTTONS FOR THE RADIO AND THE TEMP CONTROLS DON'T WORK. THE TEMPERATURE NOW DOES WHATEVER IT WANTS BASED ON THE AUTO CONTROLS. IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE WHETHER THE AIR BLOWS FROM THE FLOOR LEVEL OR ON TOP, AND CHANGE FORCE OF AIR THAT BLOWS OUT. THERE IS NO WAY OF SETTING DEFROST. THE ONLY WAY ANYTHING CAN BE CHANGED WITH THE RADIO IS THROUGH THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AROUND SEPTEMBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. IT WOULD RUN CONSTANTLY AS IF TRYING TO READ THE DISC EVEN WHEN THE KEYS WERE OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WON'T EVER PLAY. IT ALSO WON'T EJECT THE CDS. *TR
