| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2003 INFINITI G35 A FEW MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE I AM THE FOURTH OWNER. IT HAS RUN IMMACULATE UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. FOR SOME REASON THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TAKES ITSELF INTO AUTO MODE AND THE RADIO LIGHTS GO OUT, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL THAT CONTROL THE AC FUNCTIONS. I CANNOT USE ANY OF THOSE BUTTONS TO CHANGE ANYTHING. THE RADIO CONTINUES TO WORK AND I CAN STILL USE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO ADJUST THE RADIO, BUT I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE LIGHTS THAT TELL WHAT STATION IT'S ON NOR ADJUST ANYTHING FROM THE PANEL. THE AC GOES OUT OF MANUAL MODE INTO AUTO MODE, WHICH IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, AUTO IS A NORMAL FUNCTION, ADJUSTING ITSELF TO MAINTAIN WHATEVER TEMPERATURE YOU HAVE IT SET AT, BUT THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CHANGE IT BACK TO MANUAL MODE, NOR ANYTHING ELSE ON MY OWN AFTER IT GOES IN THAT MODE, AND TURNS OUT THE PANEL LIGHTS, MAKES ME THINK THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THANK GOD IT IS DEFAULTING TO ON AS IT IS SUMMERTIME AND OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE, BUT STILL GETS VERY COLD AND IS LOUD AT FULL BLAST. HOWEVER, IF THIS WERE WINTER MONTHS, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AND OBVIOUSLY CAUSE SERIOUS DISCOMFORT IN HAVING FREEZING COLD AIR BLOW ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS/TECHNICAL SERVICES BULLETINS ABOUT THIS ON MYCARSTATS.COM AND WONDER IF THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS. SOME FOLKS HAVE STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATING TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD... OTHERS HAVE STATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE EQUIPMENT RELATING TO THIS BUT ONLY INCLUDED THE RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I HAVEN'T YET CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH I WILL DO, BUT AM HOPING THAT THIS IS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT BY SEVERAL INFINITI OWNERS. *TR |
| 2005 | VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY | I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR. THE MOST SEVERE HAVE BEEN A REPLACEMENT BOLT ON THE AXLE THAT MADE A CLICKING SOUND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. THAT TOOK PLACE WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF MY OWNING THE CAR. THE OTHER HAS BEEN MY BRAKES. THEY WERE MAKING SQUEALING SOUNDS WHEN THEY WERE DEPRESSED, AT 4500 MILES. I KEPT COMPLAINING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FINALLY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT BRAKES. IT WAS FIXED AT 9,000 MILES. THE SQUEALING SUBSIDED SOMEWHAT, BUT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOUND. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN RECENTLY FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND COMPLAINED THAT THE SOUND HAS STILL NOT GONE AWAY. THEY SAID THERE WAS DUST ON THE BRAKES, AND THAT ONCE IT WAS CLEANED UP, IT SHOULD BE FINE. THEY SAID MY BACK BRAKES WERE NOW AN ISSUE. MYSTERIOUSLY, AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR, THE SQUEALING WAS WORSE AND WAS NOW COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT I NEED TO FIX THEM WITHIN THE 1500 MILES. I WAS NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH BACK BRAKES UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE SERVICE TECH TAMPERED DID SOMETHING TO THEM. FINALLY, MY SUNROOF STARTING GIVING OUT AND REQUIRES A NEW MOTOR. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 2 YEARS WITH BARELY 14,000 MILES! *JB |
