If enough of us complain, Infiniti will have to issue a recall. The inability to control the defroster is a major Safety Issue, especially in the winter! Please let the NHTSA know about your problem: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/Complaint.cfm

Replying to: ms619 (Sep 17, 2009 5:44 pm)  have they also, been cursed by this crappy engineering flaw that Infiniti-Nissan has chosen to ignore, after having full knowledge of it's flaws in the first production runs of the'03 class, and then, like Ben Bernanke the other day, declaring the problem, solved ..... and all cars that came after their "cure" were no longer subject to any assistance (stimulus). Note to Infiniti, and while we're at it, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, Ben Bernanke: Hey you dopes, the problem with the interface of the audio and AC is still a time-bomb that has exploded or will explode for those who were your vanguard of first G35 owners, and with 10% un-employment and the Treasury Department predicting another tsunami of foreclosures in 2010, the recession is "not over".

| I got mine fixed for under $500. I had car toys uninstall the complete console and sent it to a guy in CA. He fixed it and replaced the circuit board. All now works (CD/Stereo and fan controls) - the only thing that does not work is my AC. | |

I SPOKE TO AN INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIR REP ABOUT MY 03 G35 RADIO/AC PROBLEM AND SHE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT SHE HASN'T PERSONALLY HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE!! WHICH I MUST SAY ALMOST MADE ME LOSE IT ESPECIALLY AFTER READING MANY FORUMS WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM! EVERYONE NEEDS TO COMPLAIN TO THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIR DIVISION TO GET THERE ATTENTION: 1-800-662-6200 THE MORE DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS THE BETTER!! HAVE YOUR VIN # READY WHEN YOU CALL!! ONCE THEY RECEIVE SO MANY AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THEY WILL THAN REVIEW THE SITUATION! BUT YOU MUST REPORT IT!!

Replying to: bkfinest (Sep 27, 2009 7:54 am) Their handling of this significant problem is beyond description. I can't believe there is anyone who is responsible for this abhorrent lack of response and accountability. As I've mentioned in a previous post, they will have driven me back to Toyota, for my next auto purchase. Big Murth in Albuquerque

Replying to: tlen015 (Sep 30, 2009 5:27 am) You need to go back and read all the posts re: this issue --- and it will inform you of what I and others have done to alleviate the problem and more importantly, provide a permanent fix at a fraction of the cost you would encounter by dealing with an Infiniti Service Department. In a nutshell, there is an aftermarket audio/AC circuit interface and control panel (for the center console/dash) that replaces the garbage that resides currently in your car, thanks to the lousy engineering and quality control that's built-in. I believe the brand is "Metra" and although they won't sell their replacement product directly to you as an individual, they sell it to wholesalers and distributors in the auto-electrical part of the industry, and some of those outfits will sell to you direct via Ebay (Google or straight to Ebay), at a stated/no-haggle-bid price. You then need to find a well-qualified auto-audio technician, who can dismantle your dashboard and swap it out, with the various modifications to get the new circuit board to work in sync with the existing amplifier -----including a new (and better radio with Ipod/MP3 inputs like Kenwood or Pioneer), you should get everything done, parts/labor, etc., for $800-$1000, instead of $2500 by going with Infiniti and their re-installation of the identical components that are likely to fail again. Like I said earlier, take the time to read "all" the previous posts and jot some notes, and get yourself informed on what others have done. There's a way to fix this and enjoy some more life in this otherwise nice automobile, until you're ready to trade it in, for something that's non-Infiniti, down the road. Big Murth |

Replying to: daedelvis (Oct 08, 2009 12:08 pm) Sorry about that. Ebay seller now fixes the cd changers which cause the problems. First thing is did your call fall under the recall for the board and was that fixed, then you can check out ebay item no 250495097171. He fixes the CD changers, we originally bougth a refurbished one from him and it has been fine. He also gives you the instructions on how to take it out of the dashboard. It works! carabby |

| Nissan/Infiniti is known globally for bad radios. They're locked into a sub-standard supplier. Better to get an aftermarket 3rd party radio. There are radios that can connect to your steering wheel controls | |
