2007 INFINITI G35 Complaints

2007 INFINITI G-35. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNSATISFACTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP AND VEHICLE AIRBAG AND SEAT SENSOR RECALLS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND BATTERY WAS REPLACE MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON ICY ROADS, THE VEHICLE SLID AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. ALL THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK PAIN, AND A HEADACHE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,800.

THE SEAL AROUND THE WINDOWS IS DRY ROTTING OR SPLITTING, MAKING A LOT OF WIND NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MAKES IT HARD TO HEAR SIRENS OR OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO REFUEL. THE PUMP BOUNCES BACK DURING REFUELING AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FUEL THE CAR PAST HALF FULL EVEN DOING IT VERY SLOWLY. INFINITI SENT A NOTIFICATION THAT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION VAPOR TUBE SOMETIMES MAY GET CLOGGED AND THE SYMPTOM IS DIFFICULTY TO REFUEL. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A DIFFERENT ISSUE. I FOUND OUT THAT INFINITI RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR ANOTHER ISSUE RELATING TO REFUELLING WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOM ITB08-041A HOWEVER IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WITH SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM, SHOULDN'T INFINITI DO A RECALL TO FIX THE DEFECTS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I AM ATTACHING BOTH DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR REVIEW.

WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN, THE MELTING DASH CAUSES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD WHICH CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. I NOTICED THE ISSUE A WHILE BACK BUT NEVER THOUGHT TO REPORT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED. ONLY COLD AIR EMITTED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

IN THE HOT MONTHS THE DASH BOARD MELTS, AND BECOMES EXTREMELY STICKY. ONCE MELTED, THE DASH REFLECTS LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND BECOMES SUPER REFLECTIVE AND BRIGHT CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES THAT ARE ALMOST BLINDING AT CERTAIN POINTS OF THE DAY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED ROUGHLY FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT ACTIVE WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED. SOMETIMES IT COMES "ON" ON HIS OWN WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE DASHBOARD MELT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED UNDER THE SUN. ESPECIALLY HERE IN TEXAS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE. DASHBOARD CRACKING WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE. TOYOTA AND MAZDA FIX THIS FOR FREE FOR THEIR CUSTOMER BUT INFINITI WANNA CHARGES US FOR THAT.

CAR'S DASH GETS STICKY AND SHINNY WHEN EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT. ONCE STICKY AND SHINNY, IT GETS REFLECTED ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING MY VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION STARTED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, NOTICED IT AFTER PARKED OUTSIDE UNDER DIRECT SUNLIGHT. CONTACTED THE LOCAL REP AND WAS INFORMED I HAD TO PAY FOR THE DASH REPLACEMENT AS THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AS ONE TO BE COVERED UNDER RECALL. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS DASH REPLACEMENT ON THIS VEHICLE; THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS REPLACED ON 2011 AFTER SPOTTING TWO HAIRLINE CRACKS ON IT (IN THAT CASE IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY).

MY DASHBOARD (TOP NEAR THE WINDSHIELD GLASS) IS ALWAYS STICKY AND SHINY IN CERTAIN PARTS AND COLLECTS DUST. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN THE SUN BECAUSE OF THE GLARE FROM THE STICKINESS. THE LIGHTLY DRIVEN CAR IS KEPT IN GARAGE AT HOME AND EXPOSED TO SUN WHEN AT WORK. VEHICLE HAS 57K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. I AM CONCERNED AFTER HEARING ABOUT OTHER INFINITI DASHBOARDS THAT ARE MELTING AND NO ACTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
