THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD IS MELTING CAUSING A STICKY RESIDUE WHICH CAUSES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING. THE GLARE IS SO BLINDING THAT I HATE TO DRIVE WHEN IT'S SUNNY OUTSIDE AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ AND SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR BUT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUE A RECALL. THERE APPEARS TO BE ISSUED RECALLS FOR CERTAIN MODELS SUCH FX35, M35 AND SOME ALTIMAS BUT THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE MUCH LARGER PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE START TO LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER THIS EGREGIOUSNESS AND NEGLIGENCE AND THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS/SHOULD FORCE NISSAN TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY, THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE SOME NOISE THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AND ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (ABOUT THREE) DID THE CAR START. THERE IS NO WARNING. THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE CODE THEY GOT WAS THE CAM SENSORS NEEDED REPLACING, WHICH COST ME $650. THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING A LOT OF THESE. IT'S VERY PREVALENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE 2003 MODEL OF THE INFINITI G35 HAD ARECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN'S DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA. DURING AFTERNOON'S, I SEE THE DASH IS ALL SHINY AND STICKY WHEN TOUCHED. I GET A GLARE WHEN DRIVING CERTAIN DIRECTIONS. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER AND IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS, AND I DO NOT SEE THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WHEN CONTACTED MENTIONED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AND THAT I WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES WHICH THEY SAID WOULD AMOUNT CLOSE TO $4000. THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHEN CONTACTED, DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS MY CONCERN. I AM CONCERNED WHETHER THIS WILL POSE A HEALTH-RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2005 INFINITI G35 UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TODAY. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AND ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (ABOUT FIVE) DID THE CAR START, AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A SAFE PLACE. SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR IN JULY 2010. AFTER THE JULY 2010 INCIDENT, I HAD TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF SENSORS, WHICH COST OVER $1,000. I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO RELIVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THAT THE OLDER (2003) VERSION OF THE INFINITI G35 HAD A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT INFINITI / NISSAN HAS NOT FOUND A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP THIS EVENING, AND I AWAIT THE DIAGNOSTIC READING TOMORROW. I WILL BE PETRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT NOT SECURE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT REFLECT ACCURATE LEVELS. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, AND TURNING ON THE IGNITION THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE DOESN'T MOVE. *TR

CRACKS AROUND THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW ACCURATE INFORMATION. CANNOT FILL GAS TAKE FULL ANYMORE. WILL ONLY HOLD APPROX. 6 GALLONS. IF CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS WITHOUT PROPER WARNING MAY CAUSE BAD ACCIDENT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TOOK CAR IN TO HAVE PASSENGER AIRBAG HARNESS REPLACED PER RECALL. WHILE IN THE SHOP, A CRITICAL CONCERN WAS NOTED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE AND SPIRAL CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER OF $1,434. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE PART REPLACEMENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND I WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG PARTS ARE REPLACED, THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH ITS AIRBAGS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD ALSO BE PLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE MANUFACTURED CARS AND TRUCKS MADE BY THE NISSAN CORPORATION. A CALL BACK WAS ISSUED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING COLUMN. A COIL LOCATED INTERNAL WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN IS DEFECT AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN AN EMERGENCY. SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY ISSUE WHEN A COMPANY PUTS THEIR NAME ON A PRODUCT LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SAFETY FEATURES LOCATED FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY. PLEASE ADDRESS MY CONCERNS BY ISSUING A CALL BACK ON THE NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DEFECT FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY THANK YOU RESPECTFULLY *TR

APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A 2005 INFINITI G35 FOR MY DAUGHTER. TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER - REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THERE WOULD BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING, SO IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR HER TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AT RANDOM EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION; PARTICULARLY, FOR A TEENAGE DRIVER. I GOOGLED THE CAR'S ISSUES, AND LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON 2005 INFINITI G35'S FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS CAUSING THIS LOSS OF POWER PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT. AN INFINITI DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR THIS MORNING AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR'S CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THIS RECALL ON EVERY 2005 INFINITI G35 VEHICLE - NOT JUST THOSE VEHICLES WHOSE VIN NUMBERS APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST - ESPECIALLY THOSE VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THE SENSOR FAIL. THE REPAIR TOTALS $425.00 AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF THAT AMOUNT FROM NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FLASHED OFF AND ON, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. ....UPDATED 01/12/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALL FOR AN AIR BAG ISSUE IN 2010. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RETURNED. UPDATED 01/15/15

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF, NO POWER AT ALL, NO CONTROL OF CAR AT ALL. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOES START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE. VERY SCARY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE. I CALLED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED AT THE PLANT THEY WERE CALLING RECALLS FOR. WELL EXCUSE ME INFINITI YOUR PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (MY INFINITY CASE NUMBER FOR THIS PROBLEM **AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS IS 15697563). THEY INFORMED ME THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2010 - IT WAS NOT. I HAVE THE CAR-FACTS TO PROVE THIS. INFINITI STATED TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS INFINITI FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WILL DO THIS THIS WEEK BUT SADLY EXPECT THE SAME RUN AROUND I HAVE RECEIVED BEFORE. THIS CAR BETWEEN THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ABOVE IS AT EXTREME CRASH AND INJURY RISK. *TR

VACUUMING CAR AND PUT BOTH SEATS IN A FORWARD POSITION. WHEN I WAS DONE THE SEATS WOULD NOT MOVE BACK TO ITS REGULAR POSITION. PASSENGER SEAT WAS ALREADY GIVING ME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, HOWEVER BACK PART OF SEAT STILL WORKED. THE DRIVER'S SEAT I HAD NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH BEFORE. BOTH SEATS ARE NOW IN AN AWKWARD UNDRIVABLE POSITION AND WILL NOT BUDGE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS, BUT THE SEAT AS A WHOLE WHICH WILL SET ME BACK A COUPLE THOUSAND THAT I DO NOT HAVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HARNESS KIT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V175000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY PREVALENT. AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE SOME NOISE THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND DOES NOT START ONCE IT STOPS. THERE IS NO WARNING. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE SENSOR TO RESET -- PUTTING ME AND MY VEHICLE IN HARMS WAY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY BUSY OVERPASS. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. I HAD A HARD TIME STEERING AND GETTING OVER OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS DRIVING 50 PLUS MPH. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. ONCE WE GOT TO THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY. IT STARTED AGAIN BUT THEN SHUT OFF. I WAS GOOGLING THIS SYMPTOM AND THE YEAR, MAKE MODEL (2005 INFIINITI G35 ENGINE STALL) AND THIS WAS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WERE PUT AT RISK OF INJURY. I WAS CONVINCED THIS WAS MY PROBLEM, TOO. THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THIS WAS THE CODE THEY GOT AS WELL. I ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS GOING TO BE. SO MY QUESTION IS... WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED IF? IT IS DANGEROUS. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING. *TR

MY DASH IS MELTING. *TR

Dashboard deteriorating and appears "melting" when in hot environment. Have read of dangerous chemicals being produced when hot in a CAS Letter to NHTSA Regarding Nissan “Melting” Dashboards – October 6, 2021 (attached) as well as being a safety hazard from the film produced causing windshield glare and/or film restricting vision. Condition has existed since purchase (date below) and progressively getting worse. Only now found information about the cause but no remedy available outside of a new dash?

WHILE EATING LUNCH AT BOJANGLES IN PETERSBURG, VA., PEOPLE INSIDE THE RESTAURANT NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY CAR WHILE PARKED. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER IN AREA. FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AFTERWARDS. IT APPEARS THE SEAT CAUGHT FIRE UNEXPECTEDLY. INTERIOR OF CAR ALSO CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS ON BURNING UNTIL EXTINGUISHED. *TR

DRIVING 70 MILE IN FWY MY CAR ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY I ALMOST DIED OUT THERE BECAUSE OF CARS BEHIND ME. I CALMLY CHANGED STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT SIDE OF FWY WITH LEFT OVER SPEED AFTER 5 OF VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASHED ME AND EACH OTHER. TURN OFF ENGINE AND STARTED ENGINE FEW TIME AND IT WORKED SO I SENT MY CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT'S A 2 OF SENSOR PROB. AND WHILE HE WAS MOVING MY CAR, DRIVER SIDE SEAT SWITCH BUTTON WAS ON FIRE! FIRE! WHAT IS GOING ON. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OUT THERE IF NOT FOR GOD. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINED ON SENSOR PROB WITH ENGINE SHUT OFF, ISN'T THIS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE???? RISKING ALL OF PEOPLE'S LIVES???? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE ON APRIL 27, 2010. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING EVERY SINCE DAY ONE, SO I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEMS. I ALSO CALLED INFINITY AND THEY SAID THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WILL BE GIVEN TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME MATTER, AND BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEMS HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER, UNLESS THEY PERFORMED A PARTIAL FIX TO GET THE CUSTOMER OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THIS VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY AND ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON MAY BE KILLED BY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THIS HAPPENS, I AM LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I WILL SEEK LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AND INFINITY FOR THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AS REPORTED BY SO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, SLIT, AND NBC OFF INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER RESTARTING IT THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START IT, AND IT WOULDN'T START, BUT THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT AND "SLIP" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A FEW TRIES THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO A GAS STATION, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T RUN VERY WELL AT ALL. I COULDN'T GET IT TO RESTART AFTER PARKING IT AT THE GAS STATION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FOR REPAIR. THE CAM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING, AT A COST OF ABOUT $500. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS, BUT THEN THE "VDC OFF" AND "SLIP" LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN O.K. THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW MILES UNTIL I HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITY G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT REFUSED TO PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V175000 (AIR BAGS , SEATS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL BUT THE REPAIRS WERE NEVER PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,050.

CAM SHAFT SENSOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS THAT. REPLACED BOTH SENSORS COSTING $150 FOR AUTOZONE PARTS LIGHT STILL ON. READ THAT SOME HAD SUCCESS UNPLUGGING BATTERY FOR 24 HOURS AND FILLING THE OIL UP.....SMH SAD SEAT SLIDES FORWARD WHEN BREAKING ABOUT 4". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A FULL TANK HOWEVER THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE SPEEDODOMETER READING FLUCTUATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,466. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE SEDAN HAS AN AIRBAG THAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES NON STOP ON THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. L LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY DO NOT WARRANTY SAFETY ISSUES ANYMORE. THEY CONTINUES TO PRINT OUT A STATEMENT FOR $1000 DOLLARS WITH A CODE B1134. ITS A $35,000 DOLLAR CAR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE "SAFETY" ISSUES. MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS TO EXPENSIVE TO DEAL WITH OR IS A HUMAN LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE. THE AIRBAGS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE FACT THAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO RESOLVE INTERNALLY IS NOT VERY GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE OR PROFESSIONAL. I KNOW OF OTHER CONSUMERS ONLINE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH COMPLAINTS. BEING ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT JUST HAVE AN ISSUE WITH INFINITI NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THANKS *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2005 INFINITI G35 CAME ON, ON OR ABOUT MARCH 2014. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WAS THE HARNESS WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND I PICKED UP MY CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG MODULE. I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE AND FILED A CLAIM. INFINITI CORPORATE AGREED TO PAY FOR THE AIRBAG MODULE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A SPIRAL CABLE, AND "THAT WILL BE $600, LET US KNOW WHEN TO ORDER THE PART". I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE TO REOPEN MY CLAIM. I QUESTIONED WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING WHEN THE HARNESS AND AIRBAG MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WAS TOLD "SOMETIMES IT'S A 3 STEP PROCESS". INFINITI CORPORATE LATER DENIED THE CLAIM STATING THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE AS A FAVOR AND THEY ONLY ALLOW 1 FAVOR PER CUSTOMER. THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE TOLD THE SPIRAL CABLE MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REVIEWED BLOGS ABOUT THE 2005 INFINITI G35 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET BUT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALSO LOOKING AT AIRBAG ISSUES WITH SEVERAL MODELS OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE AIRBAG ISSUE FURTHER AS CLEARLY THE HARNESS (WHICH WAS RECALLED) DOES NOT RESOLVE THE AIRBAG ISSUE ON THE 2005 INFINITI G35. *TR

ON 3/25 AT APPROX. 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON THE FLORIDA TPKE. AT APPROX 65-70 MPH WHEN I SUDDENLY HEAR A LOUD "SWOOSH" AND NOTICED THAT THE SHADE BENEATH MY MOONROOF WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE SHOCK NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I REACHED UP OPENED THE SLIDING SHADE COVER TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS PORTION OF MY SUNROOF WAS GONE. AT THIS POINT I REALLY GOT NERVOUS THINKING THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE HIT THE CAR OR MOTORCYCLE BEHIND ME CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I CALLED 911 WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO FLORIDA HWY PATROL. I GAVE THE OFFICER MY NAME & LOCATION AND HE INSTRUCTED ME TO STAY WHERE I WAS. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES HE CAME BACK ON THE PHONE TO TELL ME THAT THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT PROBABLY HIT THE GROUND AND SHATTERED. WHATEVER THE CASE, I FELT RELIEVED AND DROVE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO INFINITI WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT HAPPY WITH THAT I WAS GIVEN THE TELEPHONE # TO INFINITI CUSTOMER CARE DEPT. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH THEY INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY, AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN, HOW THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, AND WHAT PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SHOULD I HAVE DONE TO AVOID THIS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE MY ANYTHING IN WRITING OTHER THAN THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY OR TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THIS TO LITIGATION BUT I FELT A NEED AND RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT SO THAT IT COULD BE ADDRESSED. IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *TR

2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. CONSUMER FOUND MANY PROBLEMS WITH CAR AND FEELS BEEN FOOLED BY DEALERSHIP. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED TWO DAYS, AFTER HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED DEFECT. A MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING, AS THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, THE TIRES WERE OVERLY WORN, THE CD PLAYER WAS NOT WORKING, THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT PROPERLY, THE WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNED AND THE LOWER CAT SHIELD MADE A NOISE.

FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS OVER HALF A TANK WHEN TANK IS ACTUALLY VERY NEAR EMPTY. WHEN TANK IS FILLED UP, GAUGE GOES TO JUST ABOVE FULL, AND SLOWLY DECREASES TO JUST OVER HALF A TANK AS THE TANK NEARS EMPTY. I HAVE TO WATCH MY MILEAGE AND GUESS TO KNOW WHEN I'M ALMOST OUT OF GAS. THIS SEEMS UNSAFE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR AND THE SENSOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

IN DECEMBER 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH WHEN VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. LATER ON MY TRIP HOME I WAS DOING 45 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND LOSS ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTOZONE TO SCAN AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. I CHANGED THE SENSORS AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 3/20/2014 WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AGAIN. FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL. TRIED DIFFERENT FUEL STATION AND VEHICLE STILL WOULD SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTED. WHEN VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN YOU LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE ROUTE THAT I DRIVE DUE TO A LOT OF CURVES IN THE ROAD. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE AGAIN TO SCAN FOR THE PROBLEM AND NOW IT'S THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CALLED INFINITI TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS ON THIS PROBLEM. INFINITI SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL. BOUGHT SENSOR AND WILL REPAIR MYSELF BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WASHINGTON, DC. MY CAR, FOR NO APPARENT REASON SHUT OFF AND A LIGHT "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO CUT-OFF. IT SIMPLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO RESTART AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES. ABOUT THE 4TH TRY MY CAR STARTED AND I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THE "SES" LIGHT REMAINED ON. ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND A LIGHT THAT READ "SLIP" APPEARED ALONG WITH VDC ON/OFF. I HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS, BUT IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO BE IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND MY CHILDREN ON BOARD. WE COULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN IN A REALLY BAD SITUATION HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND BELIEVE THIS SHOULD TRULY BE CONSIDERED AS A VIABLE RECALL. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WAIT FOR ANY ACTUAL ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V175000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS) WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE, SPIRAL CABLE AND SENSOR CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 142,000. UPDATED 2/11/014*CN

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CARS WITHIN THIS MAKERS COMMUNITY. *TR

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DIM AND AN LED NO LONGER WORKS, A PROBLEM THAT RUNS RAMPANT THROUGHOUT MANY G35'S. IT IS A GREAT SAFETY RISK, THE PROBABILITY FOR A REAR END ACCIDENT INCREASED GREATLY THANKS TO THE FAILURE OF THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. INFINITI MUST FIX THIS ISSUE, THEY HAVE BEEN AVOIDING IT FOR TOO LONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STARTED TO BLINK. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THE LIGHT STILL BLINKS. TRYING TO PERFORM AN ECU RESET, THE BLINKING STOPS FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND RESUMES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP IN PALM SPRINGS, CA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IF I DON'T FIX IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THE RECALL HAS BEEN APPLIED, THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. ENGINE RESTARTED WITH HESITATION AND VDC, SLIP, AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW ONE WOULD COST AN ESTIMATED $500. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, RECALL #03V455000. AS I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE ON OTHER MODELS, IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND AN UPDATED RECALL FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERAL LAWSUITS. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL DOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO STALL IN THE FREEWAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER IN A GAS STATION. LATER ON I BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP AND TOLD ME MY CAMSHAFT BROKE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003/2004 MODELS FOR CAMSHAFT DOING THIS BUT STOPPED FOR 2005 EVEN THOUGH MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AS THEY DID. CALLED INFINITI AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY. THANKFULLY I WASN'T HURT BUT I REALLY WISH INFINITI STEPPED UP AND FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2005 MODELS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEY DID IT FOR 03/04 MODELS AND IF IT DOES IT IN THE 05'S WHY NOT DO A RECALL ALSO. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION CREATING A DANGER ON THE ROADWAY. RESTARTED, BUT THE ENGINE HESITATED BEFORE TURNING OVER. CHECK ENGINE, VDC & SLIP WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED AND REMAINED ON. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED A FAULTY CAM SENSOR AND REMEDIED TO REPLACE COSTING ALMOST $500. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE 2003 MODEL WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. RECALL #03V455000. INFINITI WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE WITHOUT A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE ASSUMED NEWER MODELS WILL EXHIBIT SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I HOPE SUBSEQUENT MODELS WILL BE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL. MOST OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE OF REPORTING THESE ISSUES UNTIL SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR AND THERE'S LITIGATION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND PRESSURE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THE VDC AND SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START OR STALL CONTINUOUSLY. MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR RECALL 03V455000 THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITH THE VDC AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHTS ARE ON. CAR KEEPS ON SHUTTING DOWN. REPLACED CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY 12/09/13. LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
