Replying to: rollbar (May 29, 2006 8:14 am) I have tried every manner of star, #, space, pause and even speed dial and yet can’t seem to get it. The pause is critical to getting into voice mail and through switchboards for me as I am sure it is for everyone. Any idea of how to get it done? I’m using the Verizon version of the Razor which I believe is different than the Cingular. When I say the word space or pause the Infiniti system sees it as the number of the key of the first letter in the word. I even moved the numbers requiring a pause to my speed dial group but that doesn’t work either. For some reason all this does is get me a Verizon recording about reaching a wrong number. Help……… Thanks, Roll |

Replying to: rollbar (May 31, 2006 11:23 am) For g35 owners, also note that although we have a full size wheel and tire as a spare, that wheel doesn't have a sensor in it. One of my wheels got scuffed very lightly (thanks to my wife  When I told my buddy who happens to work at infiniti to swap my wheels, he did, but he also told me that he swapped the sensor from my scuffed wheel to my spare. Anotherwards, the spare has no sensor. Just thought I'd pass that on. Ted. |

I have an '05 G sedan with the keyless entry system, which can also be used to open the trunk. Sometimes when I shut the trunk lid, it pops back open and emits a warning beep that does not stop until I unlock the front door. Apparently it thinks my key transponder is inside the trunk.  Of course this doesn't happen when I take it to the dealership. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

Replying to: thrillcall (May 17, 2006 7:56 am) Who is that dealer? Wish I bought my car there. I had my brake pads changed at 11,900 miles and later one of the service managers said the pads are made to last 12,000 miles. When I took it in at 15,000 miles, they said on my next visit (18,600 miles) I would need new pads and rotors. I can't wait to ask them what happened to the pads that last 12,000 miles. I think that early 2005's still have the same problem the 03's & 04's had but Infiniti isn't admitting it. They only admitted to the problem with the 03's & 04's after a class action law suit was filed.

Replying to: dkm (Apr 23, 2006 2:42 pm) Here is the first letter I wrote. November 25, 2005 Infiniti Consumer Affairs P. O. Box 191 Gardena, CA 90248 Dear Consumer Affairs, I am writing to tell you how disappointed I am that the front brake pads had to be replaced at 11,200 miles on my 2005 Infiniti G35. The service records for my car are attached to this letter. But I will recap what has happened on each visit. I took delivery of 2005 G 35X on 2-23-05. First and foremost, brakes are a safety issue. As a safety issue, there should be no mistakes made when they are checked. The second issue is the quality of the brake system on this car and third, the quality of service performed by the Infiniti technicians at Pepe Infiniti. I had the first service performed on my car at 3838 miles on 6-3-05. There is no notation on the invoice that the brakes were checked even though it is listed as part of the inspection for the 3750 mile service. The next service was on 8-26-05 at 7856 miles, I brought my car in for regular 7500 mile service. The notes regarding the brakes say 8mm. During this service visit, the metal trim on the driver door was damaged. Also, later when I opened the door I noticed a hole in the door panel. I called the Pepe Infiniti immediately upon noticing the damage. On 10-4 at 8801 miles, I brought my car in to get the Homelink checked because it has to re programmed at least every other month and have the door damage repaired. I told Sterling, the brakes moan in reverse and squeak in forward. When I picked up my car, I was told by Sterling the door trim was fixed, the finish people are on vacation so the door couldn’t be fixed, there was nothing wrong with my Homelink or my brakes. I told him, the loaner car’s (also a 2005 G35X) brakes make the same noises as mine so I guess that must be normal. The notes regarding the brakes on this visit say 10mm. On 11-21 at 11,279 miles, I brought my car in for regular maintenance and the have the door panel fixed which wasn’t fixed the last time. Mike asked me if there was anything else, and I told him that the brakes moan in reverse and squeak in forward. He told me that was because brake pads are no longer made with asbestos and there is a lot of dust and it’s the dust that causes the noise. I told him, that the last time I was told they were normal and also told him the loaner car made the same noise. My guess is that the brake dust comes from the brake pads wearing out. While my car was being serviced, Mike called me to tell me that the brake pads needed to be changed and the rotors were out of round. He told me there was 4 mm of pad left. I asked about the last time there were checked and he said 10 mm at 8801 miles and 10 mm is like new. I asked him how 60% of the brake pads could wear out in 2478 miles and there was no wear for the first 8801 miles. He said it’s the way the car is driven. I told him I have been driving the car the same way for all 11,279 miles and 32 years. He told me the pads were $99 but forgot to mention about the $68 of charged that go with the brake pads. For some reason, he took this to mean that I didn’t think the brake pads needed to be changed and offered to give me the used brake pads as proof. He told me he got the manager over to verify the brake depth, etc. I told him I believe they needed to be changed, because I have been complaining about the brakes for a while and was told there was nothing wrong with them. What I was actually questioning is whether the brakes were checked at all during the 10-4 visit and where was the service manager on that day? And if the brakes were not really checked or recorded properly, then how can I trust that anything else was done correctly or at all during any service visit. Then when I got home, I found my paper work from the 8-26 visit and saw the notation of 8mm for the brakes. So there are three conclusions to be drawn from this. Either the brake pads can regenerate or they were never checked on the 10-4 visit or they were worn down more than recorded on the 10-4 visit, but if they told me my brake pads needed to be changed at 8801 miles, it would point toward a problem with the braking system. If they were checked properly then the rotors wouldn’t have been out of round on this visit. Upon further investigation, all over the Internet are people with the same complaints with 2005 G35X’s. There seems to be a similar problem with the 2005 model as with the 2003 and 2004. When I called Mike on 11-22 to ask him about the braking system for my car and to be sure it was a 2005 system and not the same as 2003 and 2004. He said it wasn’t because Infiniti isn’t covering brakes on the 2005. I told him that doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything wrong with the brakes on the 2005 G35X. It doesn’t appear that Infiniti admitted early there was a problem with the 2003 & 2004. Why else would you put the same braking system in the 2004’s and why would there have to be a class action suit. Also on the Internet, I see that Infiniti/Nissan has brake issues in other vehicles. So my question is if there was a problem with the brake system in the 2003 and why did Infiniti put the same system in the 2004. Is it because Infiniti was ignoring or denying a problem with the 2003’s? Since Infiniti put braking systems not appropriate for this car in 2003 and 2004, how can a customer be certain that you got it right in 2005. I think Infiniti is aware that there is a problem with the 2005 brakes, too. The service people are good at covering up and blaming the driver of the car because they have been dealing with this problem for a while. They probably told the first customers with 2003 it was their driving, too. By the way, your solution for the 2003 and 2004 problem is generous but certainly not appropriate coverage. If it’s a manufacturing issue, that why is Infiniti only responsible for their mistake for 3 years or 36,000 miles. I am sure it will take a while for Infiniti to acknowledge that the brakes aren’t much better in the 2005 than they were in the 2003 and 2004. Or maybe it will take another Class Action Lawsuit for your service people to stop blaming the driver of the car. Now the brakes on this car don’t moan and squeak, there is a new noise a combination of a moan and a squeak in reverse. I guess it’s the new pads starting to wear already. After I send this letter, I will make sure that I post my problem on every website and blog I can find. The more people that know it’s not their driving the better. When my friends and strangers ask me how I like my car, I’ll make sure they know about the brake problem. “Great car if you don’t mind spending $168 every 11,000 to fix the brakes on a brand new car. I am sorry I bought the car rather than leasing.
