general problems of the 2003 Infiniti G35 - part 1

The ignition switch will not return to selection 3 after cranking.

Complete center console not working. Stuck on auto a/c with no way to defrost windshield and it was raining. No modes work, no cd, no radio, no heat, no defrost- front or rear. I have already had this happen before, replaced motherboard and it cost me 1200. 00 and that was in 2011. Now it has happened again. This is very unsafe. I had my children with me and it started raining and we couldnt get the windshield or rear to defrost so I couldnt see. Why arent all 2003's covered under the recall?????.

Been having problems lately with the engine light coming on and the slip and vdc light also.

While your driving you lose control of heating controls. It was raining and I had to defrost windows. Well it started heating the floor and I could not control where to direct heat. And note the radio doesn't work when it occurs as well.

My Infiniti climate control has quit working which has left me with a car with no heat or defrost unable to drive in the winter. Their was a recall on many 2003 G35 but I have been told that my car isnt covered. Seems too much of a coincidence my car is doing exact complaint on many other cars.

The charger port had some sort of malfunction and my car was burned to the frame. It was parked in my drive way and had been since 8:00 p. M police officers where coming in my front door at around 2:00 a. M. My car was engulfed in flames.

The complete console lighting has gone out in my car. It only works when the exterior lights are off. Not able to drive at night and difficult to drive during daylight due to not being able to see the speedometer. Very much a safety issue.

2003 Infiniti G35 air-conditioning unit suddenly will not turn off. Unable to turn on the defroster because of this making visibility poor and very dangerous at times. Radio will not turn on. This is widespread problem with this vehicle but nothing is being done about it.

Was driving my car and the ac and stereo button lights went out, the ac was then stuck on full blast at 70 degrees and could not be shut off or changed and the stereo was inoperable as well.

�tamara recall� my radio and complete column to adjust ac went out. There was a recal for my same year and model vehicle, but Infiniti is saying my VIN isn't covered. I took the steps to have the recall my fixed by a licensed mechanic and still nothing works. It is a safety hazard as I have a young child and the car only blows heat. In CA it it still very hot right now and cannot afford another vehicle.

The contact owns a 2003 infinti G35. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while traveling various speeds and the check engine, brake, and vdc off warning indicators illuminated. The Infiniti of norwood dealer (866 providence hwy, norwood, MA) was contacted and diagnosed that the camshaft assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Audio "finisher" board shorts out, the radio is compromised but the safety issue is that the heater controls switch to high, and on floor heater vents. There is no longer a defroster and the controls are inoperable. Infinity in the past issued the following: 2003 G35 sedan audio finisher circuit board voluntary service campaign.

My slip light and vct light has came on in my 2003 Infiniti G35 and also the ebrake light and non of them will go offf. I recently hydro planed in the rain due not being able to turn my traction control on abs did nothing to stop my car from loosing traction this would never of happened if my car did not have these problems. Further looking into it they have had made a TSB talking about how the abs and anti wheel lock may malfunction. I was in a 5 car pile up and almost died. If my traction control was able to be turned on witch it wouldn't let me I would not of hydro planed my whole back end just swung forward out of nowhere people though someone in my car pulled my ebrake the way the back end just swung forward. Both the slip light and the vct light remained on along with my ebrake light. I drive my car like a baby and to barley push the gas should not result in my back end swinging forward resulting in completely wreching my car along with 4 other drivers. I feel Infiniti is definitely reliable and should of recalled these parts due to putting people in danger instead of making it a TSB like its not a big deal. I am also not the only one iv found a few people that crashed there car due to rainy wether and the traction control not wanting to turn on. I was on the freeway doing about 60 to 65. If I new Infiniti had so many problems I would not of purchased one 77 bulletins and after reading about all the problems the 2003 had and all the recalled parts I would not of purchased it and put my life at risk. I feel Infiniti should be reliable it's commen sense to know that first hand not fixing those problems would lead to serious injuries and I'm not the only one. Let me know what you think I will be emailing Infiniti to. It may not be a recalled part but it' put me and everyone else on the freeway at risk and totaled my car. Bellow is someone who also had the issue.

Nissan campaign id p3104, ref itb03-007 describes exact problem. The VIN number of our car is within range of campaign listed VIN #'s but Nissan insisted today that our car was not covered by campaign. Heat/air temperature controls and radio do not operate. Problem has occurred over past several years intermittently, but now will not function at all. Nissan is refusing to honor their own campaign by saying our VIN # was not covered by campaign even though it is in the range of VIN #'s listed in the campaign.

Third high mount brake light is intermittent possibly creating confusion to driver behind me. This has been an on going problem and has been reported by multiple drivers on G35driver. Com. This happens whether stationary or driving. At times it may appear dull.

I bought this car new from bommarito Infiniti in ellisville, mo in 2003. I have intermittently had problems with the stereo system and air-conditioning/heater controls working. At this point, the heater is stuck on 90 degrees, controls not working, and also the radio will not work from the console but I can control it from the steering wheel. I have researched this online and see that it is a problem with this car and year but when I called the Infiniti consumer affairs department I was told that this particular part was not recalled on my car but other cars had been affected. This clearly is a ongoing issue with this cars circuit board they should continue their research. I have to say at least it is wintertime in illinois right now otherwise I would be dying of a heat stroke driving this car. . . .

2003 Infiniti G35. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle audio and temperature control system recall issues. It was determined the control was bad. However, the consumer VIN was not included in the recall.

The climate control/ audio control unit in my G35 froze a few weeks ago making the system inoperable. As a result the the front and rear defrosters have become inoperable creating a dangerous driving condition specially in the rain. This is a common issue for all G35s made from 2003 -2005 and Infiniti is very well aware of it. However they have done nothing to address it. Back in 2003 they have done a recall but only to a limited number of cars that had a particular part number. But the truth is every G35 with the oem unit is vulnerable to this issue. In ability to control the defrosters affects the visibility which may cause an accident that may result in injuries and or death.

Had my car in a Nissan dealership for diagnostic for ac problems and was told that my 3rd rear brake light was also out. I was not even aware of this. Then I was told that I could not just replace the bulb, that I would have to buy a complete assembly unit for that and it would run me $287. 00 plus tax!!!!! every time I turn around something is costing me several hundred dollars. This is a safety issue. I just put out over $700. 00 for the a/c, radio finisher circuit board, also not on a recall!.

The contact owns a 2003 Infiniti G35. Upon starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the air conditioning system and radio failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

It was about a year ago when I first started having issues with my a/c and radio. A/c blows intermittently at what ever temperature and air level it feels like and cannot be adjusted. The radio at the same time cannot be adjusted. The first time this issue happened it lasted for about a week and then it just started working again. Now it is like it has a mind of its own. This is unsafe to drive without being able to use the defroster in the mornings and late at night. Not only is it a safety issue but it is also unhealthy to get a constant full blow of 62 degree air blasting at you when it is 40 to 50 degrees out side. Even though I adjust the vents closed it still blows cold air through them. This seems to be an issue with these cars and cannot understand why Nissan wont take responsibility for this design flaw. I ended up taking my car to the Nissan dealership and had to pay a diagnostic fee, no codes came up. But they are telling me that this is an issue with these cars and the audio finisher circuit board will need to be replaced at a cost of 700. 00. ! there are so many NHTSA complaints about this issue. It is a safety issue if you cannot see out your window, because you cannot work the defroster!.

This vehicle's radio and temperature controls do not work! I can't believe the number of complaints about this issue. I've talked to knowledgeable people about this and all have said that this issue is a bad/defective board. I will never purchase a Nissan or Infiniti product again!.

Control panel totally inoperable. Ac blows at highest setting, unable to change any settings, unable to use defroster. Recall doesnt include my VIN althogh it has the same problem as those recalled.

Radio, cd, and a/c control console do not work. Also the dashboard cracked. I called Infiniti and I was told no recall had been issue. I'm extremely disappointed by this brand. I will take my business to Honda who make better quality cars.

The climate control system stopped working, which includes the defroster. Luckily it occurred in the month of may and not in January when the snow flies, as it could have created a very serious safety issue due to the defroster not working. After looking on-line, this seems to be a very common issue to G35 owners and there are numerous blogs describing the same condition. It is due to an electrical failure within the controls for the radio & climate control systems. It appears the safety issue is being ignored, possibly because it's tied to the radio. If there haven't been any accidents/deaths attributed to this, it's probably only matter of time. Within the NHTSA complaints listing it has been reported numerous times. Please don't ignore it any longer. Imagine yourself on a trip cross county, in January, and the defroster stops working. You might have to continue driving just to get to a town. Or you might risk continuing your trip so as to get home to contact the dealership. I'm sure there are cases where people have done just that, risking the safety of themselves & others due to poor visibility. All because a car manufacturer won't stand behind their product and except responsibility. P. S. My vehicle has less than 69000 miles.

While driving the vehicle stopped running no brakes steering or warning when I called nisson they told my car was not included in a recall of this part this is a real danger and should be addressed I ended up fixing this at my own expence.

My radio and ac comes on but I cannot turn on/off from control panel of car on dash. I can only operate the radio from the steering wheel. My a/c is on full blast at cold air and will not shut off.

Ac/climate control circuit board is not functioning. There was a voluntary service campaign issued by Infiniti (tb003-007, campaign id p3104), but only for certain VIN numbers. Many other 2003 owners, not covered by the recall, are experiencing the same issue. This is a safety issue as rear and front window defrosters do not operate.

I got my car in April 2013 not a year yet. I was at work when they said the light started to blink and then the alarm started to go off when the security came by around it was smoking and on fire it was coming from the hood. The police and fire station said they think it was a electric problems. I really don't know what I should do now.

The contact owns a 2003 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the climate control thermostat and radio failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the circuit board needed be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

The entire console including defroster etc. Went out. This is a known problem and a voluntary recall was issued for sedans but not coupes. However, the coupe has the same problem. It is the finisher electrical card which failed and apparently has been failing consistently for this year and model. Infiniti is forcing their customers to pay for this original flaw. Otherwise you are stuck without any ability to alter the console settings including the ability to defrost/defog your windshield which creates a safety concern. I will no longer be in the market for a Nissan product, along with my neighbors, friends and relatives that I have shared this with.
