10% of complaints about the 2007 Infiniti G35 came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2007 vehicle — around the middle of the 268 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 7.2 yr in service. The most-reported system is air bags (32 complaints), typically at 9.6 yr or about 78,000 miles.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2007 INFINITI G35 SEDANS MANUFACTURED FROM MARCH 29, 2004 THROUGH AUGUST 25, 2006 AND INFINITI G35 COUPES MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 1, 2004 THROUGH MAY 30, 2007. THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTING THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) AND THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR (ODS) CONTROL UNIT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAN EXPERIENCE RELATIVE MOVEMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE WEAR AND OXIDIZATION OF THE TERMINALS AND MAY CAUSE INTERRUPTION OF THE SIGNAL.
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU).
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE "VERTICAL GRADIENT" AND "HEADLAMP PHOTOMETRIC VALUES" REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.'
THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE CRASHES, INJURIES AND DEATHS BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY, AND BY ENHANCING THE CONSPICUITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PUBLIC ROADS SO THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS PERCEIVED AND THEIR SIGNALS UNDERSTOOD, BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND IN DARKNESS OR OTHER CONDITIONS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.
THE INTELLIGENT KEY OFFERED WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE IS NOT BUILT TO WITHSTAND NORMAL USE. MY UNIT COMPLETELY DIED WITH 48 HOURS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, LEAVING ME STRANDED AND MISSING MOTHER'S DAY LUNCH. INFINITI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED CONFLICTS WITH THE KEY AND MOBILE PHONES, HOWEVER A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENACTED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITY G35. WHEN A PASSENGER OCCUPIES THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 08V521000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: SOFTWARE). SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND FILED A COMPLAINT. A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER IN REFERENCE TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 24,000. UPDATED 12/29/09 *BF UPDATED 12/30/09*JB

USUALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS, I WILL GET IN AND PRESS THE CLUTCH AND IT WILL SINK TO THE GROUND (I.E. THERE IS NO PRESSURE IN THE CLUTCH LINE). AFTER PUMPING IT A FEW TIMES, IT WILL USUALLY REBUILD PRESSURE AND BE DRIVABLE. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT MY DEALERSHIP FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLAIM TO BE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT, REGARDLESS OF MY EXPLANATION. THEY HAVE BLED THE CLUTCH LINE AT ONE POINT, TEMPORARILY FIXING THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT A SUSTAINED SOLUTION. *TR
