2007 INFINITI G35 Complaints

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR CONTROLLING THE RECLINING OF THE SEAT BACK HAS FAILED. LEAVING THE SEAT BACK IN A RECLINED POSITION WITH NO WAY TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK INTO AN UPRIGHT APPROPRIATE DRIVING POSITION. IT IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO REST MY BACK ON THE SEAT AND HAVE TO HOLD MYSELF UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES. THIS SEAT FAILURE OCCURRED SOMETIME AROUND MID-NOVEMBER, AND ON FRIDAY MAY 27TH I NEARLY EXPERIENCED A COLLISION WITH A STRAY DOG IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD DUE TO MY POOR VIEWING ANGLE OF THE ROAD WHEN I WAS RESTING MY BACK AGAINST THE PERMANENTLY RECLINED SEAT-BACK. NOW I DRIVE WITH BACK OFF THE SEAT-BACK SO I CAN BETTER SEE THE ROAD, BUT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO UPRIGHT SEAT SUPPORT AGAINST MY BACK TO HOLD MY BODY IN PLACE AND MINIMIZE TRAUMA.

SENSOR UNIT FAIL THE SENSOR HAS AN INTERNAL FAUL. NEEDS TO REPLACE ...PASSENGER SEAT INFINITII SAID NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WOULD COST ME 7000.00 TO REPAIR... TOOK IT TO DEALER I BOUGHT CAR NEW FROM SEWELL INFINITI ( AIR BAR LIGHT FLASHING WAS DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THIS AT CAR DEALER ( ALSO THEY SAID NO RECALL ON THIS)

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SHINY CREATING A REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT OBSTRUCTS VISION. IT'S BLINDING WHEN THE SUN IS SETTING AND THE VEHICLE IS FACING WEST. IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH AT DUSK OR DAWN, BUT THIS ADDED DANGEROUS GLARE MAKES IT A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DASH IS ALSO LIKE PUTTY. IF I TOUCH IT, IT ACTUALLY MOLDS TO WHERE MY FINGER MOVES. THAT'S NOT DANGEROUS, BUT THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD SHOULDN'T BE AN ACCEPTABLE PROBLEM FOR NISSAN/INFINITI. IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM!

PARKING BREAK DOES NOT HOLD CAR WHEN FULLY ENGAGED, EVEN ON A VERY SLIGHT HILL. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE, EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. DETAILS OF THE CRASH WERE NOT AVAILABLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST CONTUSIONS AND ABDOMINAL PAIN FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.

2007 INFINITI G35 PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS...SENSOR IMPROPERLY 'TURNS OFF' EVEN WHEN SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY INDIVIDUAL WHOSE WEIGHT SHOULD TRIGGER AIRBAG ACTIVATION.

I OWN A 2007 INFINITI G35 COUPE. IN AUGUST 2013, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF I-95 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT AS WELL BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND WAS TOWED TO THE A REPAIR FACILITY. THEY WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH NEXT MORNING WITHOUT ISSUE. RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND NO CODE WAS INDICATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. IN JULY 2014, WHILE INCREASING DRIVING SPEED FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH - 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCE EXTREME VIBRATIONS, COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR TRAVELING AT OR ABOVE 65 MPH. ONCE I REDUCED THE SPEED VIBRATIONS DID NOT STOP, BUT IT WAS MANAGEABLE. I HAD MY TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED THE NEXT DAY, THINKING THAT WOULD FIX IT. BUT ONCE AGAIN IT STARTED, MY VEHICLE HAS NEW TIRES AND I HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR A COUPLE MORE DAYS, THE VIBRATIONS STOP BUT DAYS LATER IT BEGAN AGAIN. I WAS FED UP, SO I TOOK VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER HAD GOTTEN STUCK AND IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS PROPER PLACE AFTER BRAKES WERE DEPRESS, THUS MAKING THE CAR VIBRATE AFTER DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH. I HAD THE CALIPERS REPLACED, BUT NOW THE LEFT SIDE IT VIBRATING AS WELL. THE VEHICLE HAD NO VISIBLE RUST OR PROBLEMS, PERHAPS CALIPER IS OR ARE DEFECTIVES AFTER ONLY 7 YEARS ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CLUTCH PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR. ON A SECOND OCCASION, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STUCK AND WAS PUMPED IN ORDER TO BE RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TWO DIFFERENT INCIDENTS - I WAS IN TWO MINOR LOW SPEED INCIDENTS. I BELIEVE AT THE TIME OF THE SECOND THE BRAKE ROD GOT BENT (WHICH IS CURRENTLY SPECULATION AND THE INSURANCE IS INVESTIGATING) FROM THE FIRST ACCIDENT. AFTER THE FIRST MY ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION ON SOME LEFT HAND TURNS. I GOT IN THE SECOND ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO "BRAKE HARDER" AND I WAS AMAZED I COULDN'T STOP IN THE DISTANCE PROVIDED, AND THIS BRAKING SCENARIO AND OUTCOME IS REPEATABLE. IF I BRAKE HARD -- HARDER -- FULL STOP. BY THE TIME I DO A FULL STOP MY BRAKING POWER IS DIMINISHED AND IN MY ACCIDENT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN A "NORMAL" DISTANCE. FURTHERMORE, AFTER THIS SECOND ACCIDENT AT < 20 MPH. I HAVE INTERMITTENT ACCELERATOR FAILURE IN ALL DRIVING SCENARIOS. I COULD BE DRIVING AND IT JUST CUTS OUT. NO ERROR LIGHTS IN EITHER OF THESE SCENARIOS. NO CHECK ENGINE, NO SLIP, NO ABS, WARNINGS. I PREVIOUSLY TRIED TO BRING IT UP TO CORPORATE NISSAN AND THEY SAID I HAD TO CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. BOTH DEALERSHIPS I TRIED PAWNED ME OFF TO PARTS DEPARTMENT, WHICH THE GUY WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHY I AM ASKING HIM ABOUT POTENTIAL SHORT FALLS. THEY WANTED OVER $1,000 EACH ISSUE TO INVESTIGATE. MEANWHILE AS I NOW FIND MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR LACK OF ACCELERATING AND BRAKING ABILITIES, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING. TWO ACCIDENTS IN 6 MONTHS, AND AT LEAST THE LATTER I THINK COULD BE DUE TO A POTENTIAL FAULTY PART - AS EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE REACHED OUT TO SAID IF IT IS THE BRAKE ROD, AND IN THE ACCIDENTS I HAD, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BENT (IF THAT ENDS UP BEING THE ROOT CAUSE). LET ALONE THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES. *TR
