general problems of the 2003 Infiniti G35

The contact owns a 2003 Infiniti G35. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 03v200000 (exterior lighting); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall repair had been discontinued. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

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.

Vehicle momentarily lost power and dash instrument lights went on (slip, vdc off, service engine soon). The ipdm (intelligent power distribution module) was replaced by the dealer in December 2011 for the same problems. My research revealed that this is a common problem with this model and year. Separately, high mount rear stop light no longer works. Research indicates this is also a common problem.

Third brake led lamp stops working and randomly comes back on. This also happens in almost every other G35 sedan I have seen to date.

Just bought the car in two months and the third light won't work.

Im currently having trouble with my center console losing power to my ac and radio. The problems range from center console display shortages, ac blasting at full strength and being unable to change the setting, to the radio intermittently putting out sound. This problem has led to safety issues with the car in that the inability to control the ac results in fogged over windshields leading to poor visibility. I've read online that this problem affects many owners of the same car. It was such a problem that Infiniti recalled the '03 G35 sedan for the exact same problems. It is embarrassing that inifiniti does not stand by their product across the board. If they acknowledged that it was a problem in the sedan why are they not responsible for fixing the same problem in the two door model. Would like to know how this problem may be remedied.

I was entering onto the highway and my entire defrost / ac / radio cluster failed. The ac came on full blast, replacing the defrost!!! I had to pull over and park the car due to the safety factor of not being able to run my defrost. The issue is the ac, defrost, and radio stack controls stop working. There is no way to get them to work once the problem occurs. There has been a recall on this for G35¿s built in 2002 for the 2003 model year. My G35 was built in 2002 but when I called Infiniti they said my ¿engine is the wrong model� Infiniti needs to fix this thru recall as this is a major safety issue concerning the defrost. I can only imagine if my 17 year old daughter had been driving and the defrost went out. I could have been a very rich man at the expense of my daughters life. I have read where thousands of G35 owners are having the same issue. I don¿t think any daughters life is worth the price to fix this already well documented issue. Infiniti needs to step to the plate. They already know of the issue but have turned a blind eye. I envision Infiniti getting blasted by law suits because this will kill someone. When that happens, Infiniti will not have a leg to stand on. The issue is too well documented for Infiniti to say they didn¿t know.

Brake-light failure on a 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe. This is a common problem experienced by numerous G35 owners. The 3rd brake-light on the rear windshield works intermittently.

Well I bought this car from bellflower auto mart thinking that I bought a pretty dependable car come to find out the previous owner was drinking and driving and totaled the car, so now the car should have a salvage title but it doesnt the airbag system in the car does not work at all, the dealer bought the wrecked car from auction and repaired it themselves and sold it to me as if it was never in any accident, I asked for the carfax report but it unfortunately slipped my mind after all the paper work, but I went the next day to return the car after I found all this out and was kicked off the property.
