The third brake light on the rear window deck fails to work intermittently creating a situation where vehicles following may not realize that our vehicle is braking. This creates a concern for my safety as well as my childrens safety. This is a very frequent problem with infiniti vehicles of this make but infiniti will not acknowledge the problem.
2003 Infiniti G35 visibility complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 78, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driver side window motor failed. Window is stuck in up position. This is a safely hazard as occupant cannot use window as an exit from the automobile.
No specific event. Climate control panel failed in AC "on" mode at 70'f. Cannot turn off. Cannot access defrost/rear defogger buttons. Creates unsafe vehicle as lack of defrost/defogger prevents driver from seeing clearly in certain weather conditions. No radio controls. Understand a common problem.
1) no specific event - one day stopped working. 2) climate control panel failed in AC "on" mode at 66'f. Cannot turn off. Cannot access defrost/rear defogger buttons. Creates unsafe vehicle as lack of defrost/defogger prevents driver from seeing clearly in certain weather conditions. 3) told by infinity consumer affairs that sedan VIN does not fall into range of existing recall for AC/auto circuit board by nissan (infiniti). Requires consumer paid diagnostic to determine what failure mode is causing problem.
Window motor.
The display on my radio started to go out and made it so I had no control over the radio and the AC/heater. It went off and on randomly for the past year, now my radio is completely dead and still have no control over my A/C controls so it blows at my feet. Now that temp. Outside is getting into the 30's, and I need my defrost to be able to see through my windshield but can't control it...
2003 g35 sedan central console A/C, selected lights, and audio controls stopped working suddenly. Cannot control heat/defrost/air conditioning. Caused windows to fog up quickly impairing visual field while driving on highway. This is very hazardous because of its unexpected and unpredictable onset.
The audio/climate controls on my 2003 infiniti g35 stopped working while my AC goes on full blast. Can't turn it off. I have no control of my radio. Called the dealer. They said it could be the radio ($900), the circuit board ($900) or both ($1800) plus tax. And that's on top of the diagnostics fee they will charge. Infiniti service advisor told me that because it's out of warranty, it's just like a bulb going out. What a ripoff. .
Per g35 sedan recall my '...audio and temperature controls may, on occasion, not operate as expected....". My equipment failed multiple times. There is a voluntary recall for this problem on the g35 sedan but not the g35 coupe. The mfg'r. States that coupe is not covered even though I have the same problem. My g35 has/had the identical problem and they replaced my circuit board at a cost of $649.88 (parts and labor). I believe the g35 coupe should have same recall as the g35 sedan.
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.
I have a 2003 infinity g35 coupe my radio does not work and have lost all control of my heat and air conditioning I believe this is a really big problem do to the fact that I cannot defrost my windows when they fog up.
The HVAC controls on my g35 intermittently stop working making it impossible to operate the air or defroster. There was a recall associated with this but infiniti refuses to repair the vehicle.
While driving my 2003 infiniti g35 in the highway the radio made a click and remained silent followed by the AC automatically coming on at full power. The dash controls can no longer be accessed . At the time it is bothersome but in certain situations the car is at danger. If this was winter everything would have fogged up and wouldn't have been able to use the defroster . I have researched this problem and there other owners with the same problem .this problem is electrical and is very dangerous when taking it into context. There was a voluntary service campaign for the audio finisher circuit board but it only included 23600 cars. Infiniti should be responsible for this and cover the cost.
A/c came on randomly at high speed,,could now turn of,,fog my windows will my niece was in back in her baby seat,,I tried turning the fan's off,,could not turn of,,and heater and cd malfunction together. Went to dealer they would not replace,will cost 1300,,it was electric problem. I always keep my car up to service.
Air conditioning unit comes on randomly and would not shut off. At the same time, the radio became inoperable. Initially this problem would happen just a couple of times per week, but now it's a permanent issue. Infiniti recognizes that a problem exists, but will not recall because they claim that it's not a safety issue. This is a huge safety issue because I cannot control the front or rear defrost.
There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 infiniti g35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash. Infiniti/nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by VIN # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition. Infiniti says my 2003 VIN # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (VIN # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem. Infiniti states the cost to repair.........$2600.00. It is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
I have an infiniti g35 (2003) that has suddenly had problems with the heat and air controls. When the problem started, it would go out after the car was on for more than 10 minutes. Now, the controls do not work at all. This can potentially create a safety problem for a driver when the windshield fogs up in either cold weather conditions (after being garaged) or humid weather conditions after a rain shower in the hot summer. This is a serious safety issue when the windshield fogs up as the driver is operating the vehicle. After doing an internet search about this problem, I found that there are literally thousands of other 2003 g35 owners with the same problem. Also, infiniti knows of the problem and the safety concern, but has not done anything about it to fix the problem for all vehicles in which this occurs. There was only a voluntary posting and it only included vehicles made in a certain time period. Obviously, the timeframe established by infiniti is not correct as there are many cases where this defect is still occurring. This safety concern needs to be addressed and corrected. I have not had a crash as a result of this defect, but I do not want to have one in the future. Others with the same problem most likely feel the same way......some may have actually had a crash because of this defect. This should be investigated.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35 coupe. The defrost became inoperable. The failure is related to the audio circuit board which controls the air conditioner and heat. The dealer was notified; however, there were no recalls related to her VIN. The failure mileage was 83,000.
Center console control buttons do not operate. Can't operate defroster and can't see out front windshield.
Something was draining the battery in the electrical system. One day while trying to start the car after it had been sitting for a few days, everything flickered (headlights, dashlights, control panel) and then the car wouldn't start. Charged the battery and then the radio, AC/heater/defroster did not work properly. Have seen many similar complaints on the internet.
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.
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.
A/c controls/electrical failing on vehicle... During summer months do not have ability to lower A/C (blows hot air). During winter months do not have access to heater or window defroster creating road hazard and personal safety issues. 2003 infiniti g35 couple.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 infiniti g35. The radio, heater and air conditioning console had an electrical failure. He notified an infiniti dealer in reference to a recall, and was advised that the recall repair had previously been performed. The contact has to pay $1,300.00 to repair the vehicle. A representative from the manufacturer advised him that if he did not drive a hour and a half to an authorized dealer for an assessment, they would not provide any assistance. The current and failure mileages were approximately 85,000. Updated 11/10/09 *bf the rear window defroster was inoperative. Updated 11/13/09.

It is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than infiniti wants to admit.
My 2003 inifinity g35 A/C and radio controls are stuck which is causing my windows to fog up....not a big deal during the summer, but this could be a major hazard for winter. Infinity says my car was manufactured after the recall date, but funny, the problems are all the same no matter when manufactured. Please help before this does kill someone!
The defrost no longer works. It has short circuited the heat and AC unit. The entire unit controls the radio and cd player. Can't control any of these functions. Many people with the 2003 infinity g 35 have these problems.
I own a 2003 infinity g35 sedan. The climate control system often turns on by it self. Depending on the weather this causes the windshield to fog so it is had to see while driving. I have seen on the online forums that a lot of people have this problem. The dealers want to charge $ 1,200 to replace these units.
My 2003 infinity g35 has an electrical problem with the radio which causes the climate control system to freeze up defroster will not work front or rear causing fogging when temperature changes this impairs my vision and creates a dangerous condition infinity will not do anything to fix this they recalled some vehicles so their aware of this condition.
Intermittent heater, defroster, AC, audio failure. This is a safety issue with regard to the inability to defrost / de-ice the wind shield. There are numerous complaints from other owners on this site and others. No response or support from infinity.
