2003 INFINITI G35 Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH ON THE RAILS WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE PEDAL OR GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FURTHER THAN INTENDED. THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI AND BEEN TOLD THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE AN IMMINENT SOLUTION. I NEED THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY! *AK

BRAKES AND ROTORS FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SEIZE UP. *AK THE CONSUMER TOLD THE DEALER THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. *JB *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH AND WITH NO WARNING TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

MY INFINITI HAD COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ONLY 1,800 MILES. INFINITI IS IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE HAD THE CAR ONLY 2 MONTHS. AFTER JUST ONE WEEK, THE CAR HAD PROBLEMS STARTING, SO THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. *AK

I TOOK IN THE CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE FOR RECALLS AND THE SERVICE DEPT. NOTIFIED ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ON BOTH SIDES WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND THE ROTORS WOULD NEED RESURFACING. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SAME DEALER IN APRIL 2002 AND THE CAR WAS BUILT IN MARCH 2002. THE CAR PRESENTLY HAS 16K MILES ON IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS, EVEN WITH PERFORMANCE BRAKES, FOR THEM TO FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. INFINTI TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL.I HAVE A BMW 540 AND ITS DEFINETLY NOT NORMAL AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. INFINITI SHOULD REPPLAVE THE BRAKES AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR FREE.*AK

NOTICING THAT BRAKES MAKE A SQUEALING SOUND WHEN USED AND DONT STOP AS WELL AS THEY USED TO.*AK

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT ROCKS ON BRAKING/TURNING. I HAD THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED ABOUT THE SEAT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY REPLACED A PART IN THE SEAT. IT HELPS SOMEWHAT BUT THERE IS STILL TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. IT MAKES YOU WONDER IF THE SEAT IS ACTUALLY SECURED TO THE CAR PROPERLY, AND ALSO IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, WOULD THE SEAT HOLD UP APPROPRIATELY? ALSO THE BRAKES ARE SQUEALING AT 10,000 MILES. ACTUALLY, THEY'VE BEEN SQUEALING FOR THE LAST 4,000 MILES. THEY ARE STARTING TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AS WELL SOMETIMES. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS YET, BUT IT IS A CONCERN THAT THE BRAKES COULD FAIL. I PREVIUOSLY HAD AN EXPEDITION AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH THOSE BRAKES AS WELL, BUT WOULD NORMALLY GET 20,000 TO 25,000 MILES OUT OF THEM.*AK

PURCHASED G35 SEDAN SEPT 2002 EQUIPPED WITH PREMIUM PACKAGE INCLUDING POWER DRIVERS SEAT. DRIVER'S SEAT SHIFTS OR ROCKS WHEN MOVING FROM A STANDSTILL OR UNDER HARD ACCELLERATION. THIS UNEXPECTED SEAT MOVEMENT IS UNNERVING WHILE NAVIGATING THE VEHICLE AND MAY BE A POTENTIAL DANGER. *AK

INFINITI G35 SEDANS AND COUPES NEED FRONT BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR REPLACEMENTS EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. ORIGINALLY, INFINITI WAS PROVIDING FREE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR REPLACEMENTS, THEN HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND SAYING IT'S A PERFORMANCE BRAKE; THEREFORE, THE BRAKES ARE EXPECTED TO WEAR OUT FASTER. I'VE OWNED BMWS, AND THEY RARELY REQUIRED BRAKE REPLACEMENTS PRIOR TO 30,000 OR 40,000 MILES. *LA

AFTER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A WHILE EXCESSIVE HEAT CAN BE FOUND TO BE RADIATING FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FRONT FOOT WELLS AND CENTER CONSOLE ARE ALL FOUND TO BE VERY WARM TO THE TOUCH. WILL THIS AFFECT THE LONGEVITY, RELIABILITY OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS CAR? *LA
