Three problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 2003 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan. The contact stated that the transmission failed at 45,000 miles. In addition, the brakes failed on the vehicle and were replaced several times. When the vehicle was started, it would jolt and jerk on its own. The dealer stated that the transmission was slipping and needed to be replaced. He assumed that the repairs could be made under the extended powertrain warranty; however, the manufacturer stated that the warranty did not include the fly wheel or the clutch component of the transmission. The failure mileage was less than 45,000 and current mileage was 69,800.
This is a safety issue only because although I put very mileage on my car, I travel alone at night/very early morning. What happens if I am in a deserted area and my brakes fail? I understand that this can happen every 8. 000 miles and I find that very unreasonable. Infinity should replace these light brakes for a heavier system.
Took my Infiniti G35 to dealer for oil change at 15,000 miles and was told my brakes needed replacing with only 10% remaining. Dealer acknowledged premature brake failure is a chronic problem for G35's. My wife and I are not hard drivers and typically drive 40,000 miles between brake jobs. I would not have purchased this vehicle if I had known I would have to replace the brakes every year. Infiniti should share the cost with G35 owners for an obvious design flaw.
