OK, I'm stumped! What do you expect them to do?   If these are the first Xenon's you've driven with, could that be the problem? From what I understand, they are much more "focused" with regard to their beam and therefore, in combination with the low focus that Infiniti has on the G35, may give the appearance of "jiggle".   Scott
#22 of 2838 Why no auto-locking doors? by jethrog35 May 09, 2002 (8:26 pm)
Anybody have a guess as to why Infiniti would not support the auto-locking door feature? You know, where the doors lock automatically at around 10mph?   Perhaps it just the Canadian models, but my local dealer says that they've contacted Nissan and they've confirmed that the feature is not supported. I thought that it was a safety feature on most cars these days.   I'm convinced that the feature can be enabled through a software code. All my family noted that the doors auto-locked for the first 2 weeks or so, then I tried changing the locking mode so that the horn wouldn't toot every time I locked the car. That seemed to disable the auto-lock feature permanently (I can't get it back).   Do the U.S. models auto-lock?

So far as I've been able to determine, they do NOT auto lock. I wish they did. I have gotten used to in on my Dodge Durango and would feel better, for my wife's sake, if they did on the G35 also. Then again, I didn't notice that ANY other sport sedan we drove did so.   Go figure...   Scott
#24 of 2838 A/C Compressor Noise by dfd3 May 10, 2002 (9:07 am)
Hi All:   Has anyone experienced excessive noise from the a/c on their G35s? I noticed it the day I picked my car up - when first starting out in the car, the howling noise can be heard in direct proportion with engine speed. It seems to go away after the interior has cooled down and/or I increase the temp. control past 72 degrees or so. It is really aggrevating and there is a thread over at freshalloy on this subject. I have not taken it to the dealer yet, will probably do that next week. Anybody else experience this? Replies to this message: brothers (Aug 02, 2006 10:45 am)
#25 of 2838 Air conditioner noise - G35 with 1700 miles by kd6aw1 May 10, 2002 (6:05 pm)
Air conditioner noise. Red G 1700 miles.   On several occasions I have experienced noise that seems to be coming from the compressor during acceleration. On gentle acceleration I wouldn't hear it but accelerating up to 3500 rpm or so sometimes it really sounds off. This problem is intermittant and doesn't usually happen. Called the dealer and they said they haven't yet experienced this problem. I will watch this and probably bring it in next week. I am wondering if it could be caused by belt slipage. Love the G but wish to resolve this. My 1999 Maxima never did this.   Paul   El Cajon, California
#26 of 2838 A/C Noise by aggie4 May 11, 2002 (6:07 am)
BTW, am also dfd3. Paul, my A/C noise occurs ALL of the time. I'm in North Texas and it's been warm and humid, so I use the A/C every day. The noise begins immediately at start up and continues until the interior cools off and I raise the temp. I know it's the A/C because when I hit the A/C button to turn it off the noise stops. As you mentioned there is a thread over on freshalloy so we are not the only ones with this problem. I have a svc. appt. scheduled for Monday next week and I'll post results.   Other than that, no problems and I love my G. It's emerald mist w/ sport pkg, very rare I'm told. Oh, I did have some a**hole open their door and put a nice crease in the right rear QP last week - it cannot be fully removed by the paintless dent repair people because of it's location. Damn car still has dealer temp plates - less than two weeks old. Wish I knew who did it.
#27 of 2838 To Aggie 4 about A/C noise by kd6aw1 May 11, 2002 (6:57 am)
Thanks for your posting. Please let us know how you make out in both Edmonds and Fresh Alloy and I will do the same. I am going to print out all the postings on Sunday evening regarding this and will give to my dealer some day next week. So sorry to hear about your ding and hope you find some kind of fix. E mail me if you like at kd6awcox.net.   Sincerely, Paul Babcock El Cajon, California
#28 of 2838 Compass deviation setting by kd6aw1 May 11, 2002 (7:05 am)
Compass deviation setting.   The manual is wrong concerning the deviation setting. To set the deviation or area setting turn off the ignition then hold down compass setting button while turning the ignition on. After a few seconds the numbers will come up, in my case it was #4 for San Diego area. Cycle through to correct # for your area and you will be done and be happy with an accurate setting.   Paul kd6awcox.net El Cajon, California

Thanks Paul, I gave up on it figuring that they just borrowed a chapter from another manual and didn't verify that the feature was actually implemented on the G35.   I'll give it another try.   -- Geoff

Thanks for your input Scott. I must admit that I didn't notice the feature on other sport sedans, but I simply wasn't looking for it. It's one of those things that you just assume is there.   It's probably one of those things that you don't get at $12K, you do get at $20K, you don't get at $30K, and then you get it back after $50K (along with a new kitchen sink)!!!   -- Geoff
