general problems of the 2004 Infiniti G35

Air bag sensor is not working air bag lights remains blinking driver seats motor not working.

The contact owns a 2004 infinity G35 coupe. The contact stated that the bezels for both front headlights were cracked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed the failure. The contact also mentioned that the front passenger seat was loose and did not adjust properly. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 84,000 and the current mileage was 85,000.

Gradually the rocking in the driver seat has gotten worse. Now when I accelerate or decelerate my driver seat rocks forward or rocks backwards. I have contacted Infiniti about the TSB they released: itb02080, but they referred me to my local dealer who said they would charge me 100+ dollars to diagnose the problem. I can see the broken bracket and have no need of a diagnosis.

Driver's side seat bracket becomes detached, causing the drivers seat to dangerously move around when the vehicle is in motion. When driving, this extremely dangerous situation will abruptly alter the driver's seat position by physically moving the hand and foot location, causing abrupt adjustment of throttle application, braking and/or steering, which can result in loss of control of the vehicle and possibly fatal injuries.

I own a 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan w/ 6 speed manual transmission. The driver seat rocks back and forth severely during acceleration or braking under normal conditions. The rocking causes difficulties when attempting to shift gears. The clutch and gas pedals can be pressed inadvertently causing erratic driving. I spoke with the infinti consumer affairs department and was told my complaint would be filed, but there is no fix for the issue. I was told I should go to an Infiniti dealership to have the issue assessed at my expense. I called the nearest Infiniti dealership where I explained the situation. I was informed that other customers had come in with similar issues and it costs between $900 -$1,100 to repair. This a major safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately.

2004 Infiniti G35 sedan model problem: seat track the driver side seat track is severely loose; little by little the seat began to become looser; too a point were it almost a rocking chair. Deciding that my vehicle is under warranty I took the vehicle to authorized dealership. Result I was charged $350 for them to review the vehicle and come to same conclusion that the seat track is not working properly and that it would require new seat track costing me about $750. 00 and also that the warranty would not cover because of being wear and tear. I indicated that it was an safety issue and should be under the warranty for defect seat track. There's thousands of vehicles that are older than mine and never have seat track problems. Why is there so many seat track complaints? there is an issue because the seat track was obviously bolted down improperly or the seat track is not built under strong sturdy quality.

The driver's side seat in my 2004 G35 sedan is becoming close to useless due to a "rocking chair" type effect. The seat has been doing it ever since I purchased the car. It has become progressively worse with the passing of time. It is now so bad that I feel uncomfortable driving the car any distance. It rocks backwards even when depressing the clutch pedal, never mind under any amount acceleration or cornering for that matter. Infiniti has issued a TSB for the problem which is in my opinion an acknowledgement of shoddy craftsmanship. They will not help to solve this problem. I feel this is a safety concern because any time I accelerate from a stop the seat begins to rock and it is very disorienting . I am very unhappy and I feel unsafe whilst driving this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe. While driving at an unknown speed, the metal bracket in the seat adjuster suddenly failed. The contact noticed that the metal was faulty. The dealer did not believe the vehicle was defective. The failure and current mileages were 34,000. Updated 6/29/09 the consumer believed that a major metal support bracket in a seat should never break. Updated 06/30/09.

The medal bracket was cracked and makes the seat loose and move during driving. This makes the car extreamly dangerous. I have had 3 mechanics look at the seat and they have notified me that it was a failure in the steal bracket used to secure the seat to the frame of the car. I have also taken it to a Infiniti dealership and they said it was wear and tear from the weight of the driver. I am the only driver of this vehicle and I am 6'0 & 176lbs. If this seat was the effect from wear and tear, then this would violate the lemon law act. Next, this same vehicle also has a faulty gas gauge. This gauge does not accurately read the gas after a fill up nor does it ever go all the way to full tank. This was a recall on other model years from this manufacturar and was resolved. I beleive that my model, make and year was over looked for the fuel guage recall.

(abbreviated communication with Infiniti) [me] I just recently purchased a 2004 G35. As I have driven the vehicle, it has become noticeable that the seat controls in the seat cushion exert pressure on my upper thigh to the point of it being painful if driving for any length of time. I asked the dealer rep. If there had been any complaints on this issue, and he said he had not heard of any, and he said that the 2005 model has the same design. I am surprised that this was not resolved with the new model year as there has got to be other owners with similar complaints. Currently, I drive 15 minutes each way to work, and as I am sitting here typing this, I can feel what feels like a bruise on my thigh from the pressure from sitting next to the controls. I am 6' 0" 185 pounds and would consider myself to be of average build. It would seem that there should be some kind of retrofit kit available to remedy this problem. Please advise. [Infiniti] currently, there is no technical bulletin or kit available in regards to your seat control/cushion concern. We recommend contacting your local Infiniti dealer to review vehicle concerns which may be addressed under warranty. [me] it doesn't appear that a claim against the warranty is a viable option. My purpose in contacting Infiniti is to notify you of the problem hoping that this issue has been or will be addressed by the design team and a solution pursued. This may be something that is correctable for the current model year or a change in subsequent model years; or at the very least you could give directions on how the owners could remedy this problem on their own. This problem is a result of no padding in the seat area where instead there are the seat controls. In my opinion, this is a result of a paradigm shift to a bad idea. Seat cushions are for sitting, not for hard controls.
