My crank position sensor and cam position sensors keep failing causing the car to kill while driving and making it very hard to start.
2003 Infiniti G35 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 220, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was driving my car and the AC and stereo button lights went out, the AC was then stuck on full blast at 70 degrees and could not be shut off or changed and the stereo was inoperable as well.
'tamara recall' my radio and complete column to adjust AC went out. There was a recal for my same year and model vehicle, but infiniti is saying my VIN isn't covered. I took the steps to have the recall my fixed by a licensed mechanic and still nothing works. It is a safety hazard as I have a young child and the car only blows heat. In ca it it still very hot right now and cannot afford another vehicle.
My car seat moved all the forward while driving to work in denver metro'bench and back support both pushed me a few inches from the steering wheel. I had to move my leg with my hand to reach the brake pedal. One week later, my car horn began beeping and would not stop while driving. My vdc and brake lights now stay on constantly because the anti skid does not work'I almost wrecked on a snowy highway. The front tires wear exponentially faster than the back tires. I had blowouts two separate times on the interstate. The front windows are now glued shut because they roll down on their own. The airbag light stays on now too. I realize it's an old car; I bought it for $8,000 4 years ago when it had ~95,000 miles. Now it has ~140,000. The level of quick decline is truly frightening though. I don't drive my 2003 infinit g35 any more and am apprehensive to sell it to anyone else. The car I loved is now like driving a horror movie.
Finisher board malfunction, no defroster for front and rear windows,. Radio and AC impaired
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the engine shut off without warning. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and was restarted. The dealer was contacted (jim lupient infiniti, 7200 wayzata blvd, burnsville, mn, 763‑546‑5577) and stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 infinti g35. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while traveling various speeds and the check engine, brake, and vdc off warning indicators illuminated. The infiniti of norwood dealer (866 providence hwy, norwood, ma) was contacted and diagnosed that the camshaft assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
I was filling gas up suddently my car did not want to start. My check engine light soon when on. When I started driving my car was moving poorly. My engine light when on after. I when to autozone to check my code. They said it was due too camshaft senors.
Twice now, the vehicle has completely died while in motion, once while backing out of a driveway, another time while driving. Took to a mechanic (not dealer mechanic) who said it was the cam shaft and crank sensors. I looked online and saw that there had been a recall for this part for this year, 2003 for infiniti g35. Yet when I called, I was told that my VIN was not included in the recall. This to me seems highly suspicious. My 17 year old daughter was driving the car at the times it spontaneously died. I was very glad that she was not on the freeway or somewhere else busy when it happened! This vehicle has otherwise been completely dependable over the past 14 years of ownership, to have it spontaneously die while driving is very frightening for a dependable vehicle!
Vehicle was parked as I pressed the lock button on the control. Horn started honking and stayed on continuously I then opend the door put keys in ignition and turned it as if I was going to turn vehicle on and then car stoped honking I started the car on and horn noise stayed off I pressed the horn and it honked as normal but once I turned vehicle off I pressed the horn again to see if car would honk as normal and horn started honking again continuously stayed on until I again turned keys in ignition switch on and car stopped honking keeps doing this cant seem to find the problem
Audio "finisher" board shorts out, the radio is compromised but the safety issue is that the heater controls switch to high, and on floor heater vents. There is no longer a defroster and the controls are inoperable. Infinity in the past issued the following: 2003 g35 sedan audio finisher circuit board voluntary service campaign.
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
While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions. On several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off. The "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared. I took it to my local infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened. The crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563.03, and infiniti says that without the federal safety agency telling them to pay for it, they refuse. This car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.
Nissan campaign id p3104, ref itb03-007 describes exact problem. The VIN number of our car is within range of campaign listed VIN #'s but nissan insisted today that our car was not covered by campaign. Heat/air temperature controls and radio do not operate. Problem has occurred over past several years intermittently, but now will not function at all. Nissan is refusing to honor their own campaign by saying our VIN # was not covered by campaign even though it is in the range of VIN #'s listed in the campaign.
Third high mount brake light is intermittent possibly creating confusion to driver behind me. This has been an on going problem and has been reported by multiple drivers on g35driver.com. This happens whether stationary or driving. At times it may appear dull.
During 2 rain events, the horns began to blow and continued to blow until the burned out. If this were to happen while the driver was not present, driver would have no way of knowing if the horns were working until they were required. Other cases of this have been documented on g35driver.com. I am the first owned of the car and it has been garaged for all of its life. Both times it happened after driving the car and then parking it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the complete middle console on near the instrument panel failed without warning. The contact also mentioned that the defroster failed to function. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the center console needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
I bought this car new from bommarito infiniti in ellisville, mo in 2003. I have intermittently had problems with the stereo system and air-conditioning/heater controls working. At this point, the heater is stuck on 90 degrees, controls not working, and also the radio will not work from the console but I can control it from the steering wheel. I have researched this online and see that it is a problem with this car and year but when I called the infiniti consumer affairs department I was told that this particular part was not recalled on my car but other cars had been affected. This clearly is a ongoing issue with this cars circuit board they should continue their research. I have to say at least it is wintertime in illinois right now otherwise I would be dying of a heat stroke driving this car....

2003 infiniti g35. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle audio and temperature control system recall issues. *smd it was determined the control was bad. However, the consumer VIN was not included in the recall.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000. Updated 09/21/15
The climate control/ audio control unit in my g35 froze a few weeks ago making the system inoperable. As a result the the front and rear defrosters have become inoperable creating a dangerous driving condition specially in the rain. This is a common issue for all g35s made from 2003 -2005 and infiniti is very well aware of it. However they have done nothing to address it. Back in 2003 they have done a recall but only to a limited number of cars that had a particular part number. But the truth is every g35 with the oem unit is vulnerable to this issue. In ability to control the defrosters affects the visibility which may cause an accident that may result in injuries and or death.
It was about a year ago when I first started having issues with my A/C and radio. A/c blows intermittently at what ever temperature and air level it feels like and cannot be adjusted. The radio at the same time cannot be adjusted. The first time this issue happened it lasted for about a week and then it just started working again. Now it is like it has a mind of its own. This is unsafe to drive without being able to use the defroster in the mornings and late at night. Not only is it a safety issue but it is also unhealthy to get a constant full blow of 62 degree air blasting at you when it is 40 to 50 degrees out side. Even though I adjust the vents closed it still blows cold air through them. This seems to be an issue with these cars and cannot understand why nissan wont take responsibility for this design flaw. I ended up taking my car to the nissan dealership and had to pay a diagnostic fee, no codes came up. But they are telling me that this is an issue with these cars and the audio finisher circuit board will need to be replaced at a cost of 700.00.! There are so many the federal safety agency complaints about this issue. It is a safety issue if you cannot see out your window, because you cannot work the defroster!
Had my car in a nissan dealership for diagnostic for AC problems and was told that my 3rd rear brake light was also out. I was not even aware of this. Then I was told that I could not just replace the bulb, that I would have to buy a complete assembly unit for that and it would run me $287.00 plus tax!!!!! Every time I turn around something is costing me several hundred dollars. This is a safety issue. I just put out over $700.00 for the A/C, radio finisher circuit board, also not on a recall!
This vehicle's radio and temperature controls do not work! I can't believe the number of complaints about this issue. I've talked to knowledgeable people about this and all have said that this issue is a bad/defective board. I will never purchase a nissan or infiniti product again!
The entire console including defroster etc. Went out. This is a known problem and a voluntary recall was issued for sedans but not coupes. However, the coupe has the same problem. It is the finisher electrical card which failed and apparently has been failing consistently for this year and model. Infiniti is forcing their customers to pay for this original flaw. Otherwise you are stuck without any ability to alter the console settings including the ability to defrost/defog your windshield which creates a safety concern. I will no longer be in the market for a nissan product, along with my neighbors, friends and relatives that I have shared this with.
Radio, cd, and A/C control console do not work. Also the dashboard cracked. I called infiniti and I was told no recall had been issue. I'm extremely disappointed by this brand. I will take my business to honda who make better quality cars.
The radio will stop operating and the air conditioner will blow at its highest level. You do not have any control over regulating the temperature or flow. Obviously, I'm not the only person to encounter this problem.
Control panel totally inoperable. Ac blows at highest setting, unable to change any settings, unable to use defroster. Recall doesn't include my VIN although it has the same problem as those recalled.
While driving the vehicle stopped running no brakes steering or warning when I called nissan they told my car was not included in a recall of this part this is a real danger and should be addressed I ended up fixing this at my own expense.
