#23 of 204 Re: 2003 G35 Coupe Electronic Problem [kdooley] by babijol Aug 27, 2008 (4:33 pm)
Replying to: kdooley (Jun 26, 2008 4:48 am) I'm experiencing the same problem. My radio and dash goes out and my ac comes on very high and I can't do anything to turn it down. They told me at the dealer that it was the circut board. I repaced the circuit board for over $1000 and then a month later it happended again. I took it back and now they say I need a new radio because my radio is draining the circuti board. I called the Infiniti head office and got nowhere. I was extremely dissapointed because this is a manufacturer's problem due to their error in assembling the car. They told me that they can't help me. I'm geting rid of my car and will never buy anothe Infiniti/Nissan car again because they have major electrical problem.

Replying to: babijol (Aug 27, 2008 4:33 pm) We talked to a service tech in Chattanooga and he said it was the ignition switch. He said that when the problem happens, try giggling the key in the switch and sure enough, the dash lights and air came back on. I talked to the Infinity head office as well and they said "oh, well" -- not their problem. We are still experiencing the same problem, but we just keep giggling the ignition switch and so far it works. I guess we'll fix it when it breaks completely -- with no help from Infinity. I am very disappointed with Infinity as well!!! I'll buy Honda cars in the future.

Replying to: nickdecarl (Aug 01, 2008 7:32 pm) Did you ever figure out why your car would not start?   I have the same problem with my 2003 coupe. Car turns over strong but does not start. No code from the computer. Checked all the fuses and relays that I could find. Can hear the fuel pump prime. Sprayed starter fluid into the intake. It did not try to fire on it. Act's like it's not getting any spark. Changed the crank and cam sensors. No help.   Thanks, ~Scott

Replying to: babijol (Aug 27, 2008 4:33 pm) Babijol, did you find out anything or get any help from Infinity. We're still having same problem, but don't want to waste $1200 for stereo and circuit board and still have problem. Replies to this message: babijol (Nov 19, 2008 9:44 am)

The issue of the car radio and air conditioning controls going out along with some other dash lights is a well documented issue. I had a 2003 where the unit was replaced under warranty as a known defect. The replacement unit lasted about a year and a half and started showing signs of going out again. I have since traded the car in on a 2007 which is totally awesome. The service manager said that he feels the problem is caused by a lack or loss of contact. If you have the issue I would see about working a deal or getting a discount due to the fact it is a known defect.
#28 of 204 still hving problems, after new module and radio repair by nickdecarl Sep 28, 2008 (5:55 am)
Checking back in (my car had the slow battery drain problem). I've had my control module replaced, and had the radio repaired by a Bose repair outfit, that says they do one a day for the nearest Infiniti dealer. Following that: first my interior lights failed to work. My repair guys did something to the unit to reset it and now they work. But the dead battery issue is back. I had to jump start the car three mornings in a row this week; now I'm disconnecting the battery at night. It goes back into the shop on Tuesday to have a new control module installed; they believe my "new" module was defective. I'm starting to seriously think about trading the car in, even though it's paid off and I love it otherwise.
#29 of 204 2008 Infiniti G35 Electronic Problems by folly Sep 29, 2008 (2:09 pm)
In Feb, 2008, I bought a new 2008 G35. Since then, I've taken it back to the dealership 3 times for the same problem. I start the car and none of the functions controlled by the center console/computer work. It's frozen for about 10 minutes. The nonoperating functions include heat/air, all stereo functions, blue tooth phone connection and the satellite clock (not the manual clock). The clock will be stuck at the time when I last drove the car, which has always been several hours or less earlier. I assume the problem also affects the navigation system, but I haven't yet used my nav system so am not sure. The car itself drives fine. Windows, door locks, etc. work. After about 10 minutes, and before I can make it to the dealership, everything starts working. Dealership keeps my car several days and then gives it back to me saying they can't duplicate the problem and there's nothing they can do. My car is still under warranty, but that doesn't seem to matter. The dealership is indicating that it's not going to do anything, and from reading other posts, I'm not too optimistic about Infiniti. For now, I'm just going through the motions that my warranty book says I have to. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: folly (Sep 29, 2008 2:09 pm) I bought the audio finisher board from the parts department from Gwinnett Place Infiniti. I followed the voluntary recall replacement instructions. The new board worked for about a month and then the same symptoms began. I eventually fixed this permanently myself by trading the POS in for a Honda. Will never ever buy an Infiniti or Nissan again. And it's a shame too because we absolutely loved the G35. After 5 years of faulty circuitry - they still can't get it right. I feel your pain folly - you're going through all the same BS I went through. Honestly, if it wasn't for the audio finisher board - we would still own the G35 today. It became a driving hazzard. The air would spontaneously come on and fog up the windows and we would not be able to turn the air off or change the temp. And they wanted 600-800 to fix a known problem in crappy engineering. Oh well, problem solved - we love or Honda Pilot.

Replying to: jthomann (Oct 01, 2008 6:37 pm) jthoman: you didn't actually say what model year your G35 was. Was in an '03 or '08 (or something else)? I just got my replacement to the replacement computer module on Tuesday. Now I guess I'll see what happens. I've already been thinking about whether I need to trade the car in. Like you, I'm kind of mad about that -- car is paid off and drives like a dream. Short of this electronics nightmare, I couldn't be much happier with a car. The reason I ask about the model year, is that I've had some indication that the bulk of the problems were with EARLY '03's, which were actually manufactured during the Summer of '02 (the case with mine).

Replying to: jthomann (Oct 01, 2008 6:37 pm) I bought a used 2003 G35 sedan. I've had it for about 2 yrs and began having the temp/audio control issues. Initially it was doing it intermittently but now the dash is completely dead. I have not gone to the dealership yet, but I'm dreading it after reading everyone's posts. i luv this freekin car, but this is driving me nutz. the a/c stays on constantly and no radio is certainly the pits.
