Airbag Issue by rsaul
Dec 23, 2008 (8:15 am)

In my Consumer Reports this month, there was a paragraph on a parts recall for 2007/2008 Infiniti G35s. Specifically it said “…vehicles equipped with certain occupant classification system (OCS) control units have an electronic component in the unit in the passenger seat cushion that might have been made out of specification. Under certain conditions, the signal between the OCS and the air-bag control unit (ACU) could be interrupted, and the air bag could be suppressed and not provide enough crash protection.” The article further stated that “…dealer will test signal from the OCS and ACU, and if necessary, replace seat cushion with one manufactured to specification.”
 
Has anyone talked to their dealer about this? I inquired last week and haven't heard back. Thanks.

I promised to provide you all an update on the squeak I've experienced at 2000 miles. Well, it got a lot worse, liek a fluttering sound so I finally took it in yesterday with 3K miles on it now. The technician took it for a spin with me and hear the annoying sound too.
 
I took a lexus loaner and then I get a surprising call from service telling me that they could NOT fix the problem, they struggled with felt tape, etc. but could still hear the sound so they are ordering me a new cluster..wow. The bigger surprise is when I picked it up yesterday afternoon and until this moment, I hear NO sound. Like taking it apart and putting it back together fixed it (temporarily maybe), though the service guy said that they could not eliminate the noise and they are ordering a new cluster.
 
I will not stop them from ordering one, for I have a feeling this damn noise will come back to haunt me soon!

the fuel gauge light will not turn off. i have over 1/2 tank of gas, but the light is still on.
 
does anyone have any ideas? i cringe at the thought of the costs for electrical problems.

You know I'm not sure what exactly activates the little light---whether the fuel level sensor in the gas tank does that (extracted from underneath the back seat) or whether the light is activated by the gauge itself when the needle hits a certain point. I've been reading the literature but can't clarify this point so can't give you a clear shot at the problem. One wonders how the gauge can be accurately reading but the light still on, as if they were controlled by different means?
 
  If this is all too much to deal with, maybe you can just disconnect the fuel level light bulb and forget about it, as long as your gauge is working. Then, when/if your fuel pump gives out, you can replace the whole mechanism all at once.

For mats go to http://WeatherTech.com Best floor mats I ever had. They also carry a line of trunk liners and cargo liners. Can't help with seat covers.

Moonroof cleaning by ggale921

I have a 2008 G35 with a moonroof. I'm curious as to how to clean the moonroof. Do you use window cleaner? Use car wax like rest of car? Meguiars PlastX?

The moonroof is just glass. I use Stoner glass cleaner and newspaper to dry. Works like a charm.

Replacing G35 tires under a lease by cornhlio
Jan 02, 2009 (4:36 pm)

I have a leased 2007 G35 with the 18" wheel and tire package (Bridgestone Potenza REO50A). Lease is up in 7 months, and I'll probably drive 8,000 miles between now and then.
 
My rear passenger tire has a nail in the sidewall and can't be repaired. I could have it plugged but that's not safe.
 
It also looks like the tread is getting low, so I probably need to get all the tires replaced sooner or later.
 
Should I go ahead and replace all 4 now? Do I have to replace them with REO50A's, or can I get something lower-end? Will Infiniti flip out if there's anything else but REO50A's on there???
 
BTW, I live in west LA if anybody has any good recommendations in the area.
 
Thanks,
Scott

cornhol, get the ONE tire-- let infiniti decide if you need the other 3 replaced..--why overextend your self. I would also get the OEM tire-- dont mix and match it will throw up flags..you say the others look worn--how many miles on your RIG?

It's unsafe to replace one tire especially if the one on the other end of the same axle is worn. Change two, preferably in the rear, and put on whatever brand you want. Infiniti will tell you if the fronts have to be changed when you turn in the car. This way you are safe.
