2008 Infiniti G35 recalls 1

Air Bags08V521000

What's wrong. Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350z, 350z roadster, my 2008 altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 g35 sedan, my 2008 g37 coupe and ex35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).

Risk. This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.

Fix. Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on november 4, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

2004 G35

Was maneuvering a gentle right hand curve on a 4 lane city street. The car just simply died. Without the engine running the power steering was nullified and the vehicle wanted to continue in a straight line. Approximately 200 ft. Ahead there was an area with a driveway belonging to the water dept. Which i was able to wrestle the vehicle onto, out of traffic. The car would not restart and aaa was called. It was towed to the garage where the mechanic informed me the cam position sensor was faulty and the vehicle was repaired with a new one. About a year later the same thing occurred again as i was turning a corner. Without power steering or brakes i collided with the vehicle waiting at the light. Fortunately, my speed was 10 to 15 mph and damage to both vehicles was minimal. The cam position sensor was again, the culprit. Last wed. 4/29/15, there was another occurrence then again today 5/3/15, yet another. With the last two, the car was quickly put in neutral and restarted. Research revealed malfunctions with both the cam position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor were cause for a recall with infiniti but it seems everyone that had submitted a thread concerning the problem reported the vin number on their vehicle was not on the "list" that qualified for any action from the manufacturer. What??? If this life threatening occurrence is happening to literally dozens of infiniti owners, why is there a qualifying list??? *tr

2003 G35

The charger port had some sort of malfunction and my car was burned to the frame. It was parked in my drive way and had been since 8:00 p.m police officers where coming in my front door at around 2:00 a.m. My car was engulfed in flames.

2003 G35

My slip light and vct light has came on in my 2003 infiniti g35 and also the ebrake light and non of them will go offf. I recently hydro planed in the rain due not being able to turn my traction control on abs did nothing to stop my car from loosing traction this would never of happened if my car did not have these problems. Further looking into it they have had made a tsb talking about how the abs and anti wheel lock may malfunction. I was in a 5 car pile up and almost died. If my traction control was able to be turned on witch it wouldn't let me i would not of hydro planed my whole back end just swung forward out of nowhere people though someone in my car pulled my ebrake the way the back end just swung forward. Both the slip light and the vct light remained on along with my ebrake light. I drive my car like a baby and to barley push the gas should not result in my back end swinging forward resulting in completely wreching my car along with 4 other drivers. I feel infiniti is definitely reliable and should of recalled these parts due to putting people in danger instead of making it a tsb like its not a big deal. I am also not the only one iv found a few people that crashed there car due to rainy wether and the traction control not wanting to turn on. I was on the freeway doing about 60 to 65. If i new infiniti had so many problems i would not of purchased one 77 bulletins and after reading about all the problems the 2003 had and all the recalled parts i would not of purchased it and put my life at risk. I feel infiniti should be reliable it's commen sense to know that first hand not fixing those problems would lead to serious injuries and i'm not the only one. Let me know what you think i will be emailing infiniti to. It may not be a recalled part but it' put me and everyone else on the freeway at risk and totaled my car. Bellow is someone who also had the issue

2003 G35

I got my car in april 2013 not a year yet. I was at work when they said the light started to blink and then the alarm started to go off when the security came by around it was smoking and on fire it was coming from the hood. The police and fire station said they think it was a electric problems. I really don't know what i should do now. *tr

2003 G35

The radio will turn off by itself and turn back on a few seconds later. All of the buttons in the center console become inoperable. The a/c controls also become inoperable and turns on by itself. It just doesn't turn on though, it turns on 90 degrees and starts blasting out. This is a safely issue because as a driver we never know when this air is just going to start blasting out at us like fire. If infiniti is smart enough to recall the sedan, they should do the same thing with the coupes. It is clearly a common problem among the '03-'04 models. If they want to keep their reputable name they will do what is right. *tr

2003 G35

2003 infiniti g-35 blown up in driveway and house caught fire. *bf the fire department determined the fire originated inside of the trunk where the trunk light bulb became so hot that the light bulb exploded, the hot particles from the light bulb caught the trunk and the contents in the trunk on fire. The consumer stated she forgot to close the trunk securely. Before the fire, the consumer stated she had electrical problems with the window and sunroof. *jb

2003 G35

While the vehicle was parked a fire started in the rear brake compartment. *ak the lights on dashboard were intermittent. The rear light and speaker area had a possible electrical short per dispatcher. *sc *jb

2009 G35

Purchased car, used, 6/2011. Was told it was a owner buy back due to it not starting. Finance manager guaranteed problem had been fixed. In september 2011 car started hesitating to start-requiring me to let my foot off brake/clutch. Instrument panel would illuminate but car would not start. It could take up to 6 times of the brake/clutch easement for car to start. On 11/19/11 i brought car in to atlantic infiniti to get another key made and to inform them radio would not hold a station (fade) and would not pick up stations. I returned 1/5/12 due to radio still not functioning. I also informed them of the brake/clutch issue. Dealership could not find anything wrong with radio but d a part in the clutch was replaced. Radio continued to function improperly. 1/27/12 car would not start. Headlights would not come on, unable to unlock trunk and intelligent key would not work. Car towed to orlando infiniti. My car was at dealership till 2/6/12. Dealership addressed radio and replaced antenna amphifier & replaced clutch pedal position. Days later radio started malfunctioning again. 2/23/11 car would not start. As before, no lights, could not unlock car nor trunk. Aaa called & they could not start car. Car was jump started & diagnostic test performed. Nothing was found. Car driven home and it was towed to orlando infiniti the next day. As of today, 3/6/12, car still at dealership and they can not find anything wrong. I believe the electrical system is malfunctioning, particularly the ground. I have asked infiniti to check this but they have not. I no longer trust this car and infiniti is not being proactive. They are waiting for my car to not start to research issue. Their statement to me "we go out everyday and start it". I have put in several calls to infiniti usa and have not received a return call. *tr

2008 G35

Temperature gauge shows car as running hot even after having thermostat replaced. Car continuously runs hot with no resolution from Infiniti mechanics.

2008 G35

My car has been stalling while driving at low speed. Several warning lights come up (check engine light, slip light, battery light) and then the engine shuts down completely. Upon placing the car in park, i am able to re-start it. This is a major safety issue. I believe my car is part of recall number 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling. However, my vin is not part of the recall, but i am experiencing the same issues associated with this recall. This needs to be re-addressed. I have children, and i am worried that this issue can cause an accident, especially while i am driving on the freeway. I have seen various similar complaints related to this issue with infiniti.

2008 G35

Runaway acceleration. Three times now in the last two weeks the RPMs went to maximum redline without my foot on the accelerator pedal. Fortunately all occurred when I was at very slow speed and either in a driveway or a parking lot. Each time I immediately put the transmission to neutral and shut off the engine. For the first occurrence, Restarting the engine all went back to normal. But for the second instance, two weeks later on restart the engine again instantly went to maximum RPM (deep redline). On a second restart, with additional delay before attempting a restart, the problem cleared. I took the car to a mechanic and they said no error diagnostics were recorded. On test drive he said he noticed some brief unexpected surges. He said for liability reasons no way he would work on the car. No warnings, no instrument indications, car does not seem to "know" throttle is at max redline.

2008 G35

The car idles when taking off even after warming it up... While cars are passing me by. It acts like it wants to cut off while in traffic. It was raining on the passenger side.

My car has started stalling while driving, while driving! I have gone to the dealer to have issue fixed, once i get it fixed it happens again, and then the dealer says it might be something else. I have a small child and its terrifying knowing that if i'm on the highway my car will stall or anywhere for that matter. It's been happening for weeks, started at very low speeds and as of yesterday the engine shut off, no steering while going at a higher speed, i could have easily been in a wreck, or even killed someone walking. It's unsafe! There are many forums online regarding this issue with infiniti vehicles and they don't care. Lawsuit waiting to happen.

I was driving my 2008 infiniti g35 through a heavy rainstorm at 11:30 am, going east on glade rd., boca raton, fl., in the middle lane at approximately 35 mph, when a car in the left lane of this three lane rd., cut me off. I hit the brakes hard and my brakes completely locked up, putting me into a skid onto the right swale and my car, skidding violently, smashed into a tree. Although the car hit the tree almost head-on, only the left front side air bag went off. The steering wheel bag never went off. I was wearing my seat belt, and the my chest was smashed against the air bag straps and left me with severe welts and terrible pain for over two months. My right tibia and fibula were broken and displaced. Two surgeries and three months in a cast and bed-ridden, i am finally doing much better. I notified nissan that the front air-bag and the anti-lock braking system never activated. They did a cursory investigation and said nothing went wrong. I know that's not true. I never once felt any pulsing from the brakes after my application, and the non-working steering wheel air bag speaks for itself. *tr

While driving our 2004 infinity g35 on the fwy going about 40 mph (the ground was wet) we felt the track control started to shift side to side, a truck cut in fron us us, which made my husband put on brakes, as he putted on brakes, the driver side front brake locked, which caused for the card to turn sideways and hit the center divider full speed. The brakes after they locked, never stopped the car, the only thing that stopped us was the center divider. The airbags never pop, as we hit the wall going 40 miles per hours. I have taken the car to the dealer recently and had the brakes changed (2 times in 11 months) and the last tme i tood the car i informed the dealer that the brakes felt hard, and they were hard to stop they stated that the brakes will get better with use, and that's how it usually felt after the brakes were changed. The car did not drive the same, the traction was not working, the brakes locked and to top it all the bags did not deployed after impact.*ak

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. *tr

I'm the second owner this particular vehicle, and although i did not notice the problem sooner, the 3rd light on my 2004 g35 does not work (my car does not have the spoiler). What i did was purchase a used 3rd light from a salvage yard....and it did work (briefly), now it's not working.....so i'm back to square one. I thought that it was unusual, so i googled the issue and much to surprise came up with many hits of owners of this vehicle with the same issue.......since reading the issue others have experienced with the 3rd light not functioning i have noticed this particular vehicles 3rd light issue on other g35 on the road, more than likely the owners have not noticed the light not operating.........the whole purpose of the 3rd light is to be seen by others driving behind you.......it's an accident waiting to happen, i hope the nhtsa and infiniti takes steps to correct this problem. *tr

I noticed my 3rd brake light was no longer working. I have noticed other infiniti g35 coupes with non- functioning 3rd brake lights.

Please induce infiniti to replace these lights at no charge to the customer. Thank you. *tr

The third brake light on the rear deck has failed for no apparent reason. The car will not pass inspection. They want several hundred dollars to replace the entire unit. I have researched online and found this is a voluminous problem for this model year. It was recalled and addressed by infiniti for the 2003 model year g and it is still a problem for the 2004 year. This needs to be recalled and fixed accordingly at the manufacturer cost. All these owners are not having the same failing issues without cause. I own two 2004 infiniti g35 sedans. I used to love both of them. This one has problems with the brake light and now the airbag light is mysteriously blinking for no reason! The other one has had issues for years with being able to put gas in and i have had problems at the gas station trying to fill the car! Ridiculous! If infiniti doesn't do something ... I'll be switching makers. This one listed also has fuel presure regulator/damper failures ... While my other '04 g (with over 200,000 miles on it) has none. Explain that. I live the real ...

Car was jerking while driving. I went to the dealer, was told that a radiator leaked to the transmission, and ruined it. Dealer flashed transmission, but later i had "check engine" warning. I went back, dealer told me that this is because of a bad transmission. This is not safe to drive a car in this condition. I still have a power train warranty, but nissan refuses to repair transmission, because, they say, transmission problem was a secondary one, and the primary was a radiator. Nissan twice refused to repair under warranty. *tr

I recently purchased this car from a nissan dealership and it happened on the first and second day owning it. The first day happened when i pulled into the gas station taxing to the gas pump and all the sudden, the steering wheel started to get harden. I looked at the rpm gauge and it was down to zero while i was in "d" mode. So shifted to park and restart the engine, then it works again. The second incident happened when i was at a stop sign turning right. Immediately after releasing the brake pedal, i turned the steering wheel and the engine stalled; therefore, the steering wheel was harden. Then i shift back to park and restart again. I'm not sure if this is common to any g35x but this is a safety issue. I do not want to image myself going into a round-about and the car stalls while other car coming toward me. Please look into this. *tr

The radio will turn off by itself and turn back on a few seconds later. All of the buttons in the center console become inoperable. The a/c controls also become inoperable and turns on by itself. It just doesn't turn on though, it turns on 90 degrees and starts blasting out. This is a safely issue because as a driver we never know when this air is just going to start blasting out at us like fire. If infiniti is smart enough to recall the sedan, they should do the same thing with the coupes. It is clearly a common problem among the '03-'04 models. If they want to keep their reputable name they will do what is right. *tr

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.

2008 infiniti g35 sedan, bought new from dealer july 2008, had warped brake rotors about a year ago, took to dealer, they replaced a part that had a recall or had a warranty on, that they said had more air spaces in it to allow the metal to cool better, and ground down the rotors. I have warped rotors again at only 46,000 miles. I believe the metal in the stock rotors is faulty or bad engineering design. Please inspect.
