I've been having a continuing problem in regards the stock panasonic cd changer. The cd changer is moving discs around when the power to the car if off, won't eject discs or receive them. This malfunction is draining my battery. I brought the car into a infiniti service shop and they advised me that the cd changer was malfunctioning and would repair if for $500.00, by inputting a remanufactured cd changer into the car. Upon them doing this, I was advised the radio they ordered, was also defective and they had to order another one. They replaced the cd changed and a month later, this cd changer also stopped working correctly. I had to go and have infiniti replace the radio for the third time, which was out of warranty. The currently cd changer is working, but for how long? I asked infiniti USA for a full refund and was advised that they could not assist me with any refund and weren't helpful or concerned at all about this problem. I filed a bbb claim in order to try and have my repair fee refunded, do to this defective part which should be recalled. Infiniti still uses panasonic cd changers in their new models are refuses to address this defective part issue. Many internet researches have shown this cd changer issue has affected many of their cars for several year's. In conclusion, I would never buy an infiniti automobile again do to the total disregard to customer service.
2008 Infiniti G37 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2008 infiniti g37s / 6 speed, I have gone through 3 batteries since I purchased it used / certified in 2010. My battery kept dying so I brought it to infiniti and they said I has a parasitic electrical draw but could not tell me where is was coming from. One day I walked up to the car while it was shutoff and I heard the six disc cd changer, moving around the discs. The stock cd changer was operating while the car was off and killing my $150.00 battery. I ultimately pulled the fuse for the radio and upon doing that, I had no radio, heat, rear defrost and the AC comes on & you can't turn it off. I drove around for a month in the winter with the AC on which decreased my mileage. I called up infiniti and brought it in and they charged me $138.00 to tell me I need a new, same defective cd changer at a cost of $550, which was not covered. I advised them this is a serious safety issue and how could a cd changer affect the whole instrument panel? In addition, you can't even put an aftermarket radio / cd changer in the car because the heat, defrost, navi is all one unit. This bose radio unit is still being used till this day in their new models. I filed a bbb claim and they were no help. I love the car but would never buy and infiniti again. I had an acura before this car and they fixed every problem I had and treated me like I was there only customer they had.
In the first 2,000 miles of driving I have experienced seven occasions of engine speed increase when braking. I am in stage two of the lemon law.
