1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2014

I recently bought a used 03 Infiniti G35 coupe, the first problem that I found is that when refueling the car shuts the gas pump nozzle off about every 20-30¢ and happens every time I refuel regardless of what gas station I go to. The secound problem is the brakes it's happened to me twice in the last month, both times were driving slow around 5-10mph in the morning when it's cold regardless if I let my car warm up for a few minutes or start up and go.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2012

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.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2012

Coming to a stop on an interstate exit ramp, the car slowed to about 25mph with normal braking at which time the brake stopped slowing the car. I pressed the petal on to the floor and the antilock brake mechanism stopped the car in about 150 feet. Just before stopping, the car lurched forwards a few times. I had not been repeatedly braking on the interstate: a cause of brake fluid boiling which has been offered as an explanation of this failure in other incidents with this and the 350z.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2012

I had come to a complete stop at a crosswalk. My foot was firmly on the brake and the automatic transmission in drive. Suddenly the car jumped forward in small increments with a sound indicating that the ant-lock brakes were releasing and applying the brakes in rapid succession. I stood on the brakes and the car stopped only to repeat the problem once more while I was standing on the brakes. In all the car moved forward about a foot. There was a pedestrian in the crosswalk directly in front of my car at the time and a second round of this problem would have caused the car to hit the pedestrian.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2010

I bought this car used, should have checked this site first. I now have to replace my brakes once a year because they wear prematurely. That is a $1000 job. Only have has the car for 3 years. Last year in 09, the cd player stopped working with 6 cd's stuck in the changer, I had nationwide infinity look into this, when they said it would be $1400 to fix, but my year car has these problems. So I said forget it, I do not have this kind of money sitting around. Then couple months after that, the radio would shut off by it self a couple times a week and come right back on. Then just the other day, being June 5th 2010 my radio would not come on at all and I now have no control over my air condition. It is stuck on 70 full blast. Now wasting a ton of gas also. I called nationwide to make an appt, when I discussed the issue, the service advisor then said " let me guess, 2003 G35" I said OH, so you know this issue, he said yes we see it all the time, your looking at !600 to fix! I then call infinity headquarter to file a complaint to have them take care of the issue due to it being a known issue with no recall. Im a single mom, so not have this money laying around. I think its a huge safety issue due to me not having any control over the front or rear defrosters! I am contacting all local news stations to get some help!.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2010

Consumer has experienced car a few events since early '10 of vehicle being reluctant to stop, even when brakes were applied down to the floor. The last event occurred today (9/18/11). Today's event was more scary than the previous events, in that the car accelerated far ahead of our destination and could have possibly hit another driver, if a driver had been present. The brakes are functioning properly and are not worn. At this point, I am gravely concerned about this malfunction, and it feels like I am at great risk of having an unavoidable accident.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2006

2003 Infiniti G35 with a recall on the engine. Customer states that the dealer told her that her car was not included in the recall even though the symptoms were the same. Dealer refused to fix it unless she paid 11,000 dollars to fix it. The dealer informed the consumer the engine shut down because the piston broke causing it to hit the engine which put a hole in the engine block. The consumer had a used engine put in the vehicle on July 24, 2006 but, one year later the engine failed. The consumer stated she has had numerous problems with the brakes, the driver's seat made a constant noise, the 6 cd changer malfunctioned and ceased to operate and the window motor was replaced.

Brakes had to be changed after one year of very sporadic use. After the service was performed a knocking sound during braking appears on low speed traffic driving. It could not be fixed by the dealer.

11 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2003

Constant brake noise.

12 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2003

Needed new brakes at 14,000 miles. Seems like the brakes should last much longer than this. Shouldn't this be covered by the warranty? I've seen enough complaints about this problem that I feel Infiniti should make a change and reimburse those of us who have already had to pay for this repair.

13 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2003

Constant brake noise - how am I supposed to know when my brakes need replacing if they are always squeaking - that's usually a sign, but in this case the only sign will be when I crash into something or someone because they stop working.

14 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/01/1901

2003 G35 and q45 Infiniti with brake problems. The consumer stated the problem with the q45 was extreme vibrations when applying the brake; particularly at speeds over 50 mph. On down-hill braking, the shudder vibration was passed on to the steering wheel.

15 Service Brakes problem

While driving 60 mph, the vehicle turned 360 degrees, crossed three lanes of traffic and collided into the guard rail. Driver has no input from slip light and vdc light. Engine also stalled. Dealer informed consumer that vdc failed but changed its decision saying that brakes aren't used by the vdc. However, consumer thinks that brakes are applied by the vdc, as stated in the owner's manual.
