2008 INFINITI G35 Complaints

DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO RESPOND TO REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK OR POWER LOCK/UNLOCK INSIDE CAR, PROBLEM OCCURS ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS. FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP AND PARTIALLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, REAR DOOR PROBLEM WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNDER COVERAGE AS I AM 2,000MI OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF NEW TIRES FROM A LOCAL TIRE DEALER, THE MECHANIC WARNED ME THAT NISSAN / INFINITI HAVE A HISTORY OF DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AND INDICATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS INDEED DEFECTIVE. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND SAW THAT VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. ALSO, SINCE THIS ITEM IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE WARRANTY REQUIRES THE PART TO BE SUBMITTED BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN OR ANY REBATE IS ISSUED. I COULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SINCE THE PART WAS DISCARDED BY THE MECHANIC UPON DETERMINING THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE.

POTENTIAL FAILURE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT. WITH ADULT PASSENGER SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATES INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM THAT I SHARED WITH INFINITI OF CHANTILLY DEALER THAT SHOWS THE LIGHT ON WITH VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR WITH ADULT PASSENGER IN SEAT. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 25-30 MILES. TOOK CAR IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. NO RESOLUTION FROM INFINITI. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN OCCUPIED WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WEIGHING 85 POUNDS AND OVER, AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 INFINITI G35 THROUGH A HEAVY RAINSTORM AT 11:30 AM, GOING EAST ON GLADE RD., BOCA RATON, FL., IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WHEN A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE OF THIS THREE LANE RD., CUT ME OFF. I HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND MY BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCKED UP, PUTTING ME INTO A SKID ONTO THE RIGHT SWALE AND MY CAR, SKIDDING VIOLENTLY, SMASHED INTO A TREE. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HIT THE TREE ALMOST HEAD-ON, ONLY THE LEFT FRONT SIDE AIR BAG WENT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL BAG NEVER WENT OFF. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT, AND THE MY CHEST WAS SMASHED AGAINST THE AIR BAG STRAPS AND LEFT ME WITH SEVERE WELTS AND TERRIBLE PAIN FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. MY RIGHT TIBIA AND FIBULA WERE BROKEN AND DISPLACED. TWO SURGERIES AND THREE MONTHS IN A CAST AND BED-RIDDEN, I AM FINALLY DOING MUCH BETTER. I NOTIFIED NISSAN THAT THE FRONT AIR-BAG AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM NEVER ACTIVATED. THEY DID A CURSORY INVESTIGATION AND SAID NOTHING WENT WRONG. I KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE. I NEVER ONCE FELT ANY PULSING FROM THE BRAKES AFTER MY APPLICATION, AND THE NON-WORKING STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35. AFTER THE BATTERY FAILED, HE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AND THE REAR TRUNK COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10000.

ON JULY 7, 2009 OUR 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN (V1) WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH THE REAR END OF A NON-MOVING TRUCK (V2). ESTIMATED SPEED WAS ANYWHERE FROM 25-45 MPH (SPEED LIMIT OF THE ROAD IS 45MPH). POLICE WERE CALLED TO SCENE. AMBULANCE WAS CALLED FOR INJURIES TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF V2. DRIVER OF V1 DECLINED TREATMENT. DRIVER OF V1 LATER COMPLAINED OF DIZZINESS, NECK PAIN. V1 WAS UN-DRIVABLE AND TOWED FROM THE SCENE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON V1. UPON REVIEW, A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF V1 FOR "LACK" OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. UPON CONTACTING INFINITI TO EXPLORE THE RECALL ISSUED IN 2008 ON V1, INFINITI REPS STATED THAT THE VIN NUMBER OF V1 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPON CONVERSATIONS WITH REPAIR SERVICE AND OTHERS, THESE PERSONS WERE SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE FRONT END CRASH. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE CURRENT STATE OF V1 IS UNSAFE FOR FUTURE OPERATION AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IS UNCERTAIN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. IT IS THE JOURNEY PACKAGE WITH THE OPTIONAL 18-INCH WHEELS. MY ROTORS ARE NOT SAFE. I ONLY HAVE 28,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND MY ROTORS HAVE ALREADY WARPED. I HAVE READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH INFINITI G35S AND I BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I AM PAYING A PREMIUM FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ROTORS WARPING ON ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP. ALSO, INFINITI DOES NOT COVER THE CHARGES WITH WARPING ROTORS. THIS IS PUTTING GREAT STRESS ON ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR FREE. *TR
