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.

Since I bought my g35 coupe, I've been having problems with my driver side window, currently stopped working, it wouldn't go down. It would be my 4th time I replaced window motor, is not cheap. Out of nowhere my window go down when is closed, water gets in when raining. Then when finally I get to close the window, it would not go down. Infiniti needs to make this problem an official recall and replace all the window motors. I love my car, I don't know what else to do. I cannot afford paying for new window motor. Please help me and all infiniti owners. Thanks

Below is what infiniti sent out. I am experiencing the issue and none of my control panels work. This means that my defrosters on both windows are not an option for me to clear my windshields. This is a safety hazard early morning now as condensation sits on both rear and front windshields. Even though my symptoms are exactly as described, I am refused a solution. This is dangerous and is a known defect in this model and year car. 2003 g35 sedan audio finisher circuit board voluntary service campaign on some model year 2003 g35 sedans manufactured through august 21, 2002, the audio and temperature controls may not operate as expected.

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.

The climate control system stopped working, which includes the defroster. Luckily it occurred in the month of may and not in january when the snow flies, as it could have created a very serious safety issue due to the defroster not working. After looking on-line, this seems to be a very common issue to g35 owners and there are numerous blogs describing the same condition. It is due to an electrical failure within the controls for the radio & climate control systems. It appears the safety issue is being ignored, possibly because it's tied to the radio. If there haven't been any accidents/deaths attributed to this, it's probably only matter of time. Within the federal safety agency complaints listing it has been reported numerous times. Please don't ignore it any longer. Imagine yourself on a trip cross county, in january, and the defroster stops working. You might have to continue driving just to get to a town. Or you might risk continuing your trip so as to get home to contact the dealership. I'm sure there are cases where people have done just that, risking the safety of themselves & others due to poor visibility. All because a car manufacturer won't stand behind their product and except responsibility. P.s. My vehicle has less than 69000 miles.

Ac/climate control circuit board is not functioning. There was a voluntary service campaign issued by infiniti (tb003-007, campaign id p3104), but only for certain VIN numbers. Many other 2003 owners, not covered by the recall, are experiencing the same issue. This is a safety issue as rear and front window defrosters do not operate.

I recently got a used car from my friend, but the climate control doesn't work on the car. The problem has been a long time, but I noticed this after getting this car to me from my friend, but she said she has had this problem for long time. The specific problem is that the audio panel doesn't work, the climate panel is with the audio panel, so the climate control does not work at all. So I cannot control my climate in my car, so the front and rear window defroster all the time, it is really hard to drive. When I checked this problem with dealer and on the web, it is really,,common problem in this year and this kind of car, but the company doesn't have recall for this problem, so the dealer said it costs more than $1,000 to change the panel and to fix all problem. This doesn't make sense at all. Please check this problem, and correct this, thank you for reading my concern,
