- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2007 infiniti g35 sedans manufactured from march 29, 2004 through august 25, 2006 and infiniti g35 coupes manufactured from april 1, 2004 through may 30, 2007. The wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor (bts) and the occupant detection sensor (ods) control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and oxidization of the terminals and may cause interruption of the signal.

Air bag’s light flashing and on. Went to the dealership and was charged 178.00 and they said that it will cost me additional 937.86 and no guarantee that my vehicle air bags will be safe for me if there’s an accident . Went to the dealerships on 5/18/23 was the soonest they could get me in
Dashboard deteriorating and appears "melting" when in hot environment. Have read of dangerous chemicals being produced when hot in a CAS Letter to the federal safety agency Regarding Nissan “Melting” Dashboards – October 6, 2021 (attached) as well as being a safety hazard from the film produced causing windshield glare and/or film restricting vision. Condition has existed since purchase (date below) and progressively getting worse. Only now found information about the cause but no remedy available outside of a new dash?
The fuel gauge is not reading correctly, and I have to rely on knowing my mileage and how much I last filled in my tank. I have to keep the car running longer than necessary to even duplicate the problem, and when I do the gas gauge just suddenly starts dropping. And if for some reason I even let my gas get low enough to have the low fuel lamp come on, it's almost too late and I barely make it to a gas station. I have not had the issue reproduced/confirmed by any independent servicer. I have seen in many G35 forums that this is an issue that has not had a recall yet. All of the other models for Nissan/Infiniti 2005 were recalled for the fuel sensor in 2010, but not the G35/G37 model. If this keeps happening I will eventually be involved in an accident when my gas runs out unexpectedly on the highway.
