Dt*: the contact stated a recall letter # o2v245000 was received. When the vehicle was taken to the nissan dealership to perform the required repairs for the fuel system, the management refused to accepted the vehicle because infinity would not allow them to perform any recall remedy repairs on infinity vehicles. The manufacturer was contacted who reaffirmed the infinity recalls had to be performed by the infinity dealerships only. The nearest dealership from the contacts locality was seven and a half hours away. The contact would not accept such a criteria because infinity was manufactured by nissan.
2003 Infiniti G35 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Noise coming from engine when air-conditioning is on. Seemed to get louder. Took into dealer, assumed it would be covered under warranty. Had 60,000 warranty was at 54,000. Also gas tank not showing full when filling up. Both repairs totaled 1100.00 aproximately felt at 54,000 miles these should not have happened. I bought the car used and was told I had the remainder of factory warranty which was 4 years/60,000. I was not aware the first sale date was late 2002 apparently.
I am a master mechanic and have worked in the industry since 1969. I also performed acident investigations for merced benz north america. I now own a small repair facility in ca. And in the corse of makeing repairs to three g35 infinitis (years 2003 and 2004) I have found the fuel filler hose cracked and brittle. I have a g35 lnfinity myself and have been keeping track of the problem. My car now has about 10,000 miles on it and the fuel hose is cracking. I have complained of the problem with the dealer and have reported the problem to infinity consumer complaint line. I have been told by the service manage that my g35 has no problem and he's only seen the problem on the fx. I personly reinspected the hose and found a crack, one which also can be felt , is about 1/4" long and half way throught the hose. I am very concerned about this and explained that in the case of a rear end accident the hose could repture, spill fuel and creat a pinto like bomb. I feel that the dealer is putting me off, and that nissian is trying to sweep the problem under the rug and is giving me the run around . I want your agenicy to be aware of the need for a safety hazzard.the fuel hose is not readly seen and I noticed the problem only after haveing removed the rear axle subframe for replacement of a fuel tank. My concern is that the problem is not going to show untill the is a high rate of failer, or worst, untill people start getting injured or killed.
(1) very often I am unable to fill fuel tank beyond 1/2 full. Tried many fuel sites, can occur at all. Has gotten worse in cold weather-below 50*(for so.cal). It acts like a restriction in the fuel neck but none were found. Must be others with same problem.(2) often have to drive with 1/2 tank only.(3) nothing was found, no charges to me. Even if I wait a minute for possible gas 'foam" to subside,no help.
My infiniti had complete transmission failure at only 1,800 miles. Infiniti is in the process of replacing the entire transmission and I have had the car only 2 months. After just one week, the car had problems starting, so they had to replace the entire fuel system.
