2005 INFINITI G35 Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

MY 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN'S DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA. DURING AFTERNOON'S, I SEE THE DASH IS ALL SHINY AND STICKY WHEN TOUCHED. I GET A GLARE WHEN DRIVING CERTAIN DIRECTIONS. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER AND IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS, AND I DO NOT SEE THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WHEN CONTACTED MENTIONED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AND THAT I WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES WHICH THEY SAID WOULD AMOUNT CLOSE TO $4000. THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHEN CONTACTED, DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS MY CONCERN. I AM CONCERNED WHETHER THIS WILL POSE A HEALTH-RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR STARTED MELTING SOMETIME BACK WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS STICKY, GIVES A SHINE UNDER SUN AND CANNOT BE CLEANED. REPEATED REQUESTS TO THE DEALER WERE TURNED DOWN BLAMING THE ISSUE ON THE HOT WEATHER. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE HONDA ODYSSEY UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR
