Lock actuators on passenger side have NEVER worked, fuel pump stops working when filling up tank even though not nearly full (have to repush the pump in several times - sometimes it doesn’t let me fill up tank totally because it thinks it’s full), right headlights fog up and can't be polished, light bulbs went out. Cruise control NEVER worked, a/c stopped working at 77,000 miles, window motor on both doors broke before 75,000 miles

Window motors have had to be replaced multiple times. Randomly end up opening for no reason and get stuck in the down position.

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

My driver and passenger vehicle window's motor has continuously burned out or chooses not to work at times. I have re-placed the window motor several, yet it still does not roll up or down all the time. I have to hit the area where the motor is located on the door in order to get it to start moving, sometimes I will be there for hours trying to roll up my window when I leave the car. There has been a few incidents where I close my driver door with and with out a heavy force and the motor will roll my window down half way. I have concluded that the window's motor must be defective and hopes to write a complaint so that infinity motors can recall this issue and fix it, my window has rolled down during rainy season, and it is quite uncomfortable to drive in wet leather seats.

The driver side door lock actuator stopped working completely. One month later the passenger side door lock actuator stopped working. One week ago the driver side window regulator also stopped working. These issues are known defects to nissan/infiniti, yet they do not care to address these safety issues.

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.

My g35 and many other g35 owners all seem to have problems with our rear high mount brake light (third brake light inside the back windshield). If that many people are having problems with it, there should be a recall to fix this issue. I've heard even replacement bulbs go out very quickly, similar to the power window motors that always fail even after replacement. This could be very dangerous, especially if the owner of the car is not aware his light went out. Also more costly than it should be.

Window motor.

Drivers side window motor goes out every 3-4 months. Needs to have a recall,it could pose as a safety hazard. The motor gets in a bind and if it gets stuck could over heat, or if in a wreck and hit on the passenger side the only way out is to roll down the drivers window it wouldn't roll down. So if you didn't have something to bust the window in the coupe you would be stuck. Every person I came across that has a g35 coupe 03-06 there window has went out at least twice. There should be a recall especially since its not just one coupe but rather 90% of them. As well as infiniti wants $500.00 to fix.

My 2003 infiniti g-35 radio went out will not come on at all. My A/C comes on whenever I turn the car on and I can not turn it off. My passenger side window won't go up and the passenger side seat will not stop moving even after I have let go of the buttons. It folded my passenger like a sandwich. When I took it to the infiniti dealer the salemans said that the audio system installed in my years make and model number was defected and they were aware that the life of this system would only last about five years.

What is wrong
Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350z, 350z roadster, my 2008 altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 g35 sedan, my 2008 g37 coupe and ex35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).
Risk
This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on november 4, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261 or infiniti at 1‑800‑662‑6200.
