I am experiencing the same problems with my 2003 G35. 5 times with a dead battery since December. Replaced battery in February and, of course, when I took it in today to have it checked, their electrical check indicated "no drain" on the battery. The service manager told me to pull a particular fuse when I am gone for more than a day.
I called Infiniti Consumer Affairs and told them that I wanted someone to give me a credible explanation of why the battery dies. Not holding my breath......

I also have replaced my RSAs with the Avons. The rears are wearing better but still wear more on the middle treads. However the fronts are feathering on the insides as most of the unidirectional tires on the coupes do. For those owners that have problems with tire wear on their G35 Coupes there is a site addressing these issues. www.nissantireproblems.com/ There is a section to describe your tire problem with the G35Coupes

Since I have made numerous complaints to Infiniti Consumer Affairs about my front tire feathering, and I am on my third set of tires, I have come to the end of the line for tolerating the lousey issues, with tires, brakes, and paint. The front suspension/alignment issue with the negative camber that can't be adjusted resulting with inner front feathering is the last straw for me. My car has been aligned constantly and is always withing the "manufacturer's specs". The 350Z has the same issues and a TSB was issued which did nothing to resolve the problem. For me, I am planning on dismounting, flipping, remounting, rebalancing, and switching my front tires from one side to the other. This will give me enough time to get some mileage out of my front tires before they are junked. By the way, I have 2,000 miles on my Avons, and the fronts are feathering badly. I am planning on making it through to December so that I might purchase an 07 Lexus GS350. I've tried Infiniti and for me have had enough. Don't get me wrong, I love the G35 Coupe if it were not for these issues and poor customer relations to fess up to problems instead of dismissing them as "car is functioning as designed". By the way, this is after 3 years of ownership and only 15,000 miles on my car. At least I will get a good trade in value for the low miles. In the meantime, I'll hang in and maybe there might be some resolve with the front suspension on these cars. Am I dreaming?

If you have not already done so, hire a lawyer. The ONLY way that Nissan will get the message on something like this is to lose big bucks. This situation is not unique to you and is regularly reported on any number of message boards. Sue them. I hate litigation, but Corporations are given every break by this administration so let's make them be responsible. SUE THEM.

I have the same problem! Only hear the "wheel noise" when I am braking, never when I am accelerating. The dealership has been absolutely no help. I have heard every half backed excuse in the world from them. The service manager actually told me with a straight face that this was normal on a coupe. This was at 3500 miles and during my first check up. I asked why I didn't hear it on the loaner sedan I was driving and why I didn't hear the tire noise when I was accelerating, why do I only hear it between 20-40 mph? He stated the sedans were quieter than the coupes. He responded that it was probably because I over inflating the tires. What a LOAD OF CRAP! 32 lbs per sq in is recommended level. I love the way this car handled the first 7500 miles but this has been just one of multiple problems that the service dept at Infinity of Raleigh NC cannot get fixed. In fact most every thing they touch has gotten worse not better. I had an acceleration sensor on the transmission burn out and it left me on the side of the road. They replaced it with the new "improved" model and now my car runs like a Civic. Absolutely no acceleration like before. Every time you give it gas there is a perceptible hesitation. The car now tries to go into passing gear every time you give it any gas. I hate this company and what they have done to a great little coupe. I thought I was buying good service and knowledgeable techs, but the experience has not produced either. All I know is never again! THIS WILL BE MY LAST INFINITY.

I have had similar creaking noises, that I kept hearing coming from the front dash, to roof area. Yes, water torture to say the least. It was driving me crazy, since I hear it coming from the same vicinity, but I cant pinpoint the exact location. Here's my eerie twist...
Long story short, ends up that the noise actually was coming from the leather on the stick shift. Was very surprised how the sound travels, but everytime I hear the sound, still seeming to come from the front dash/roof area, I move the leather casing around the stick, and surely enough, it goes away. After getting used to the aesthetics of the car, yes, of course, the noise certainly was coming from the middle console.
Certain of the source of noise? Can you definitely reproduce it? Couldnt hurt to see if it actually comes from another place.

They have adjustable control arms in the aftermarket for these cars that will help one obtain a more tire wear friendly suspension adjustments and possibly promote better handling.

I've heard of these camber kits (control arms) such as Kinetix and Cusco. Does anyone know how good they are and if they would allow me enough adjustment to back off on the negative camber?

Anyone know if this problem was solved in the 2006 model?
1600 miles now and tire wear seems to be even with no feathering. The tires still look new, no unusual wear I can see.

I have a 2003 G35 I noticed some spots of rust on the drivers door up by the window, I brought it in for an oil change today & the gentleman noticed the rust, he then opened the door & discovered the door frame around the window was rusting as well. If anyone knows or has experienced this problem and has any idea on how to help prevent this Please let me know.
