In CA it it still very hot right now and cannot afford another vehicle.

7 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 05/09/2013

We purchased our son an Infiniti G35 coupe for graduation. We were very pleased with our purchase and to see his eyes light up was priceless. After a week or two of having the car, the radio stopped and the entire electric console shut down except for the air, which is on full blast with no option to turn it down or off. My husband spoke to one of the Infiniti dealers who told him that there was a recall on that model for the four doors only and the sedan would be almost $2000 to repair. I called corporate and explained the situation and though they are aware of the issue through numerous complaints, they are basically not willing to do anything for the G35 coupes. I spoke with kelly with consumers affairs and asked what we were supposed to do since this is a hazard for our son and she said, "well that would be at your discretion to let him drive. " can you believe this? she said take the car to our nearest Infiniti dealership and pay for a "diagnosis test" and then call them back, but, since this is out of warranty there is probably nothing we will do. . . . How can they refuse to deal with a major problem like this and then try to stick the repair cost to us?? this is a safety hazard as the air cannot be turned down or off and is constantly blowing into the drivers eyes which impedes their vision. It also affects the defrost and heat which is inoperable. The entire console is out!!!.

8 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 04/20/2012

The audio and temperature controls become inoperable because of a known issue with the audio finisher circuit board. My temperature was stuck at 90 degrees at maximum output, with no possible way to shut it off. There was a voluntary recall for 2003 G35 sedans with this issue (Infiniti recall # p31040), but not for coupes. From online research, there appears to be numerous cases where the same issue has occurred on 2003 G35 coupes, but Infiniti refuses to accept responsibility for repairs, because the VIN #'s were not part of the original recall. I believe this is a safety defect that constitutes a recall for any G35 model with this known issue.

9 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 01/11/2012

The contact owns a 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe. The contact stated that the radio, air and heater failed. The contact stated that the circuit board behind the bose radio system caused the failure. The contact stated that the system would fail sporadically before eventually becoming completely inoperable. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 100,000.

10 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 06/01/2011

Cd player stopped working, unable to retrieve cd's, error message. Later radio and a/c controls went out. Check engine soon light came on and speedometer not working. Called Infiniti in sarasota, was told to bring car in, I did. Happened again within a few months, was told by Infiniti they could not find anything wrong, they reset sensor. A few months later, radio went out again, a/c at 60 degrees, cannot lower temperature, cannot turn on/off from dashboard; radio works from the steering wheel only. Problem caused battery to go dead, called aaa, was told something draining battery; told of electrical problems, advised electrical problem maybe the reason. Once battery purchased, advised again battery may go out due to electrical problem draining battery. Went online, found numerous complaints. Called Infiniti again, told my VIN # may not be listed. Cost approximately $1,200. 00 or more to fix this problem. Called Infiniti/Nissan corporate office, told my VIN number not on recall list. Informed them of problem, purchase of new battery due to electrical problem, and what may happen again regarding new battery. Rep advised nothing they can do. Told I can pay, and if a recall later with my VIN number , I can be reimbursed with proof of repair with Infiniti. As of this writing, I am still unable to turn on/off defrost, heater, a/c, cd player, cassette player, or radio; none of the controls on dashboard are operable. This is dangerous in so many ways in terms of road safety; defrost not working (unable to defrost windows for vision while driving); draining battery; hazardous due temperature controls that can cause a person to freeze while in my car, and a financial hardship. I pray an investigation initiated due to electrical problems by manufacturer, not caused by the consumer; that the resolution is fair and just for all, and not just by selected VIN numbers only.

11 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 02/17/2011

The ac/radio controls go out intermittantly on by 2003 G35, even though a few G35's were covered under a voluntary service campaign - my VIN # was not on list - ac now stuck on and snow is due in 2 days! Infiniti says not a safety hazard and they will not cover???? I not a safety hazard in cold weather I don't know what is. . There are 100's of post similiar to mine on internet - when is someone going to talk some since into Infiniti. This is the thing that is keeping me from ever buying another Infiniti - not so much the problem, things happen- but it the way Infiniti is handling it. They know it was an engineering boo boo and they are refusing to take responsibility. They need to grow up!!!.

12 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 10/15/2010

2003 Infiniti G35. The radio, a/c, & heat controls go out due to a terrible mistake by the engineers in routing the radio and climate controls to one circuit board. Living in the mid-west this is a huge issue because I cannot defrost my windows when it's snowing. Infiniti issued a voluntary recall, but most likely missed around 90,000 cars. This is a large problem and they do nothing, it's a huge safety risk.

13 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 10/15/2010

Electrical control panel: heat/ defrost/ radio and cd/tape. Intermittent operation was reported to Infiniti dealer in 2008. At the present time (oct. 2010), the control panel is totally inoperable as of the beginning of October 2010. There is no way of controlling the ac/defrost/temperature. The audio/ climate system was inspected and confirmed that the circuitry has internal failure. This has posed a hazard since there is no way of controlling the defrost and fan to unfog the windows. There was a voluntary recall in 2004, however I had not been notified. Several similar complaints have been blogged. Dealer will replace unit for approximately $550. 00 at owner's cost. However, it appears that it is a defect by the manufacturer.

14 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 06/18/2010

On my 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe, the a/c started blowing on high no controls. The radio won't work.

15 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 04/01/2010

Loss of controls to 03 G35 radio/ac/heat. Initial power failure only affected console controls and wheel controls still worked for radio control. About a month later the wheel controls went as well. Entire blower for ac/air and heat is gone. Entire console kit and stereo had to be replaced. Old stereo was retained.

16 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 01/09/2010

My 2003 Infiniti g-35 radio went out will not come on at all. My a/c comes on whenever I turn the car on and I can not turn it off. My passenger side window won't go up and the passenger side seat will not stop moving even after I have let go of the buttons. It folded my passenger like a sandwich. When I took it to the Infiniti dealer the salemans said that the audio system installed in my years make and model number was defected and they were aware that the life of this system would only last about five years.

17 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 01/02/2010

The car was bought without the knowledge that the cd player would not eject or take any cd's; this information was not divulged by the seller, bob moore motors of oklahoma city, ok. After having the car for a little over a month, the entire center console (ac controls and radio controls) became unresponsive. The car now emits 90â° air on auto ac, forcing me to drive with my window down at all times. In addition, I am unable to turn on the radio or tape player with either the center console buttons or those on the steering wheel. The radio is a raw deal but not my biggest concern. I live in kansas and when it is not very hot (not looking forward to seeing what 90â° auto ac feels like in the summer) it is very windy and it makes it difficult to drive with the constant wind noise. I am nervous to drive the car altogether because I do not trust the entire electrical system anymore and am afraid I will get stuck somewhere.

18 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 11/04/2009

I have a 2003 Infiniti G35. The center console, controlling the heater/ac and the radio is not working. I was told that there is a control board problem that Infiniti is not claiming, yet according to the web, there are several complaining of the same problem.

19 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 11/03/2009

My Infiniti g 35 first began having problems with the cd player. It no longer works, but has now progressed to the radio and ac or heater freezing up. It occurs more frequently as time goes on. The safety issue is that I can not control the defrost or heat when it freezes. It happens when I am driving and yesterday the heater on the car turned itself up to 90 degrees with the blower at full blast. My daughter is a college student and I am concerned that when she drives back home on weekends that she will not be able to control the defroster this winter. We never know when this will happen and would hate for her to be on the interstate in the middle of no where and not be able to use the defroster. We also never know if the air or heat will turn to its low or high with the blower at full speed. Several car mechanics have mentioned that this is a well known problem with the 2003 Infiniti g 35's. On the internet there are numerous websites with many complaints on this issue as well.

20 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

21 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 10/07/2009

Radio/ac went out and are malfunctioning. I started my car and when turning on the radio the ac went to auto ac and went up to level 5 with out any warning. My radio followed by not working. All lights on the radio ac console went out and I am unable to control either from steering wheel or console. The audio finisher circuit board will have to be replaced. Over 1700 complaints found related to this topic with 2003 G35 Infiniti's.

22 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 10/01/2009

The a/c comes full blast at a very cold temperature. We are not able to turn it off or turn it down. We are not able to use the radio either. All the radio and temperature controls are not functioning. After a lot of research I found, that this is the same exact problem that was in the voluntary service campaign that inifiniti had back on Feb 13, 2003 el03-003reference, itb03-007. Nhtsa# 10001253 or 10001162 or 10001246. This service campaign involved the replacement of the audio finisher circuit board. Our car was built in Jan 03 and was not covered under this recall is what I am being told, because it only covered 2003 G35 sedans manufactured through 8-21-02. This car should also be covered under this service campaign. Since it is the exact same problem and apparently they did not fix the problem when this car was built. This voluntary service campaign should have been extended to all the 2003 models.

23 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 09/01/2009

My ac/bose stereo system is inoperable. I cannot turn the system on at all. The a/c is also stuck on and I can't control it.

24 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 07/09/2009

2003 Infiniti G35 sedan battery was dead after not starting vehicle for more than 3 days. The cd player is the culprit and the "eject" continues to cycle even with the car turned off. This is the second time in 4 months that the new battery is dead after sitting for a few days.

25 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 06/16/2009

My 2003 infinity G35 sedan's heater will stay on high with the radio and heating control removed. I can access the radio through the stereo, but have no dashboard controls of the radio or ac at all. Dealership wants "pre-paid" a $700 audio finisher/circuit board. When the part came in, they would install it, and if the radio/cd player was defective, it would fry the finisher immediately, but then they would know that the radio was bad, and would send it out for a re-build for approximately $350 and two weeks worth of waiting with no tunes or ventilation system. Plus labor, of course.

26 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 04/05/2009

No radio or heat controls.

27 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Infiniti G35

28 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2004 Infiniti G35

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.

29 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2005 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 08/28/2008

On June 2nd, 2008 I had took my car in for a scheduled appointment to have my bose 6-disc cd player to be changed out with one that does not eat my cd's. I figured it may have been a slight problem that hadn't been worked out by the manufacture. Bose having such a high rating, I didn't think much of it at the time. This is until it happened again at the end of August, 2008. Now I began to become concerned because the refurbished bose system that I had received in no way should have lasted for that short period of time. Not even two months is unacceptable. I called Infiniti on September 10th and spoke with riverside Infiniti's parts manager, who informed me that this is on going concern, but there is nothing that Infiniti can do besides replace the system which will be out of warranty in 20,000 miles. I believe that Infiniti should be held responsible for this unit and replace it with an upgraded version, or refund the amount in which I have paid for the bose system so that I may go and obtain an aftermarket cd player that will actually work, and if it does not I am sure that the store in which I buy it from, will take care of it better then Infiniti has. This is an on going consumer complaint, I've done the research, now it's time that something is actually done about it.
