I read your post with some interest because I have been thinking the same thing. Then I discovered something. The light on the auto button may stay lit even if the manual override has been engaged. My wife complained about the constant blowing at high speed the other day. I reached out and touched the auto button and it blinked then the blower slowed way down; appropriately so since the cabin had cooled off some time earlier. I would expect the auto button to kick off the moment a manual button is pushed. Maybe you are in manual mode when you think you’re in auto.
Give it a try and see if that helps.

Your gas mileage is slightly worse than my 12 MPG due to mostly short city drives. I noticed that "low in gas" indicator comes on too early. Based on my calculation, I should still have about 3+ gallons in the tank when the "low in gas" indicator comes on.

Thanks, Roll, for the reply. Unfortunately that's not the problem for me. My climate control system is definitely on full auto, with no manual adjustment of the fan speed.
To give an example: This morning when I left for work, it was 89F outside. I turned the A/C on Auto and set it to 80F. It blew hard (3/4 of the full fan speed) for 15 mins without slowing. I raised the temperature to 82F, the fan slowed down to 1/3 of full speed. I left it there for 5 mins, then set it back to 80F. The fan speed did not increase; it stayed at 1/3.

Actually now that I take a closer look I am having a similar experience. Hmmm. Air runs like crazy and only after a long time and after the car is chilled does it begin to slow down, and then, only a little. It does seem to be acting odd.

Front Wheel Wobble Sound

I have an 04 Sedan, 6MT with 16,500 miles, that recently started to have a sound that I can only describe as a wheel/tire wobble. It also has a faint similarity to what a flat tire sounds like, but to a much lesser degree. It appears appx 50mph and up. Slight vibration on the steering wheel starts at 70mph.
It appeared about a week ago, and have cheked the tire pressure, different roads to see if it not an issue, but as far as I can tell, it is still there. Anyone have any similar experience? I have searched and have come up with nothing that satisfies my particular issue. Thanks.

Window Noise

I have a 2006 Coupe with 1300 miles and I have noticed an annoying creaking sound from the driver side window when it is rolled up. When it is rolled down the noise seems to disappear but then the side view mirror makes noise. I also noticed that the windows make a clicking sound when they are being put up or down. Does anyone else have this problem in their coupe?

I have posted messages on this very same topic before. I have a 2004 sedan and have experienced this horrendously annoying creaking noise for about 20,000 miles. It started around 5,000 miles. I have sent it to the dealer multiple times for repair and they can't get rid of the creaking.
It comes from all four windows. I think it is the window casing. I sprayed silicon spray all around the rubber stripping around the door/window frame and that fixes it for a few hours and then it starts again.
Sorry, I have no other suggestions....let me know if you hear of anything else to fix this problem!

There's a TSB onthis. It involves removing the weather stripping and placing a piece of foam weatherstripping within the factory weatherstripping. I did a similar thing on my car by jamming foam into the window channel so that the window has a tighter seal. This stopped the problem on my car. I now have 34K QUIET miles on her.

My 2005 G35 sedan also has the same creaking noise problem from the door frame sometimes. The noise seems to be caused by the friction between the window chrome (stainless steel) strip and the rubber part beneath it. You can run your finger pressing along the chrome and see if the same noise can be reproduced. Doing this sometimes re-seats the chrome strip and stops the noise, but it tends to come back when the outside temperature changes. Some kinds of lubrication of insulation between the strip and the rubber ought to fix the noise.

From 2005, only the rear drive G35 sedan has bigger brake pads and rotors (share with the new M35/45's). The 2005 G35x still has the smaller brake hardwares as in all pre-2005 G35 models (coupe w/ Brembo excluded). So it's not unexpected to hear your 2005 G35x has the same brake issue as those of 2003-2004 G35's. I think someone said that for 2006, G35x is now also equipped with bigger brake hardware but I haven't personally verified this yet.
