9 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2015

I recently bought a 2004 infinity G35x for my daughter. It was disclosed at purchase that the 3rd brake light was out but I figured that was not a dealbreaker, I would get the light fixed easily. Well, I contacted our local infinity dealer and was quoted $480 to replace a 6 led board!! what?? after doing research online I discovered via infinity car forums (g35driver. Com, x. Infinitihelp. Com, nicoforums. Com) that this is an extremely common issue with these vehicles. The oem board is known to be a defective design. This is a federally mandated safety issue! infinity should be made to recall and repair these bad brake lights. It is the law that these lights be there and working. I sincerely hope someone at your branch will take notice of this issue and force the manufacturer to make it right.

10 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2015

I drove to baltimore from DC and back with no issues, then turned to go into the alleyway behind my home. All of a sudden, the steering wheel locked and would not turn and all the lights on the dashboard came on, including the brake light. My brake pad froze midway down, stopping the car, but not budging, even when I tapped the gas pedal. I put on and off the parking brake, to no avail. I tried to move the steering wheel around, but could not. Then I tried to turn off the car and restart it, but it took me three tries. When I restarted the car, the brake pad started functioning normally again and the car has been normal ever since. Additionally, nothing like this has ever happened before.

15 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2014

Car faltered at normal traffic speed, threatened to stop running, shifted awkwardly, drove erratically -- to the point that the vehicle seemed a danger to myself and other drivers -- then was difficult to start once stopped. There was a recall for the same affected part on the same make and model and year, but didn't involve my particular VIN -- this campaign (03v455000) perhaps should be readdressed to include additional vehicles.

16 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2013

I have owned my 2004 G35x outright for 9 years now. Bought it brand new in 2005. I have kept up all the maintenance, and have loved my car up until this point. I was driving on a two lane road, and decided to pass the car in front of me. My speed was approx 70 mph and I had not quite passed them when the car lost all power. The vdc light/slip light/service engine light all came on. Dash lit up like a christmas tree. My steering was non existant, and had complete loss of power. Luckily no one else was on the road!!! and I coasted into a driveway. Waited a few minutes, and the car started up fine. Fast forward to January, and I was driving in rush hour traffic going about 40 mph when the same thing happened. Luckily, again, I was able to get car to a safe place. The dealer said it was a failure on 2 sensors. Cam and crankshaft, the same sensors that had been recalled on the 2003 models and 2005!!!! very harrowing, and frightening experience. Also memorable on my purse as the cost to fix was $770, however the dealer was kind to give me a discount and a loaner car, and good service. Shouldnt the 2004 been recalled as well!!!???? seems there are a lot of other complaints with the same make/model and same defective part. I am glad I was not and that another car were not involved in an accident stemming from this defect. This car will clearly be out on the roads for awhile, as some might give it to their kids for their first car, even though it is 10 years old. I'm clearly concerned about the safety of this vehicle!.

17 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2012

Car was being driven at about 65mph when it lost power and the vdc, slip and check engine soon lights all came on the car regain power but at less amount and was hard to start. Was taken to dealer. And was found to need a cam pos sensor. If this loss of power happen when passing on a 2 lane road I may not be writing this . The 2003 models had a recall I think this model needs one to. The cost was over 350. 00.

18 Electrical System problem

23 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2010

Nissan just started a recall for stalled engine. My car (2004 infinti G35) seems to do the exact same thing but it is not part of the recall and I took it to the dealer but they said there was no problem with the car. Now, the engine stalls once in a while and you have turn the car off and restart for it to work. I called Infiniti and they said can not do anything right now because it is not part of the specific recall. The car poses safety issue if it is to stall in the middle of highway, it will threaten safety of others including myself.

24 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2010

While operating my vehicle in a normal settings my engine all of a sudden just stopped operating while driving on a 35 mph road without any warning. I pulled over the side of the road and was able to restart the vehicle again. Fortunately there were no other vehicle behind me or in front of me that would have caused a bad accident. I immediately took it to the dealer and was told it was due to a bad cam sensor. The vehicle is currently in the dealer being worked on.

25 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2009

I have a 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan. My audio failed and a/c stuck . . . The same problem they voluntarily repaired in 2003. (service bulletin #03007a and NHTSA item #10001253) it is caused by a failure of the audio finisher circuit board. Because of this, I am unable to turn on the window defroster and have difficulty seeing through the windshield when there is condensation due to certain weather conditions. When I brought my car to the dealership in roseville where I bought it, they said they would check on it but knowing there was only 10 days until my extended warranty was up, they never followed up. I have seen many 2004 owners on line with the same problem but Nissan/Infiniti don't seem to care. This is definitely a safety issue as my windshield fogs up when I drive to work, which is always early since I am a nurse and af reservist.

26 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2009

I bought my 2004 Infiniti G35 in Jan 2009 it had about 135000 miles. About a month later my cd player said check cd. The radio and cassette player works fine. I tried new cds and clean the cd player but still didn't work. I call Infiniti they said I may have to get a refurbished unit. I told them that the cd player should last longer than 5 years and that I had a 96 pontiac unit that still work. A week later I tried it and it was working fine until about a month ago it stop working and it still not working. I would like to know if Infiniti could help me.

On their own, with the engine shut off, the windows will both power down. This will occur minutes or hours after the engine is shut down and the car is locked. I was told their is a short to the car body, most likely caused water corroding the power window circuit assembly located at the doors.

Dt the vehicle shuts off and loses power in the middle of traffic. Vehicle was towed to the dealers 4 times, they said it different sensors. Called the Infiniti hotline they said it should be fixed now. Had it towed the first time on oct 20, 2004. Second and third times a it would restart but very slugish. They picked it up.
