TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED. ONLY COLD AIR EMITTED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.
DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SHINY CREATING A REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT OBSTRUCTS VISION. IT'S BLINDING WHEN THE SUN IS SETTING AND THE VEHICLE IS FACING WEST. IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH AT DUSK OR DAWN, BUT THIS ADDED DANGEROUS GLARE MAKES IT A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DASH IS ALSO LIKE PUTTY. IF I TOUCH IT, IT ACTUALLY MOLDS TO WHERE MY FINGER MOVES. THAT'S NOT DANGEROUS, BUT THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD SHOULDN'T BE AN ACCEPTABLE PROBLEM FOR NISSAN/INFINITI. IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM!
MY DASH HAS THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THE NEWS CHANNEL LINK BELOW. MY CAR IS A 2007. FROM 2005 UNTIL JUST RECENTLY IN 2014 I TRAVELED FOR WORK M-F, AND WHEN I DID MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. YET STILL, MY DASH APPEARS TO BE MELTING.

AS I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARDS. I WAS NOT ACTUATING THE SUNROOF IN ANY WAY AT THE TIME AND THE INTERIOR SHADE WAS CLOSED. A LARGE, CENTRAL PORTION OF THE GLASS WAS PROPELLED INTO THE AIR AND RAINED BACK DOWN ON THE CAR. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN RIGHT NEXT TO MY EAR. I SAW GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF SLIDING DOWN THE REAR WINDOW. WHAT REMAINS OF THE SUNROOF IS AN OUTER RING OF GLASS THAT IS SLANTED UPWARDS TOWARDS THE CENTER, LIKE A VOLCANO, PROVING THAT THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARDS. I HAVE A DASH CAM IN MY CAR THAT RECORDED EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE TIME, INCLUDING AUDIO. THE VIDEO SHOWS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE IMPACTED THE SUNROOF AND AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG AS THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON ITS OWN. *TR
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GPS FROZE, RADIO TURNED OFF AND CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS BECAME NON FUNCTIONING. UNABLE TO USE ANY BUTTONS TO CONTROL CLIMATE, RADIO AND GPS. UNABLE TO USE DEFROST BUTTON. AFFECTED VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL OVER. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND SAID IT WAS KNOWN ISSUE AND RADIO CONTROLS CLIMATE AND GPS AND NEED TO REPLACED WITH NEW UNIT. *TR
I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. NO OVERPASS, TREES, OTHER VEHICLES, ETC. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, I ACCELERATED, WHEN MY CAR REACHED 15 MPH I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT MY TIRES. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR, PULLED BACK ON THE ROAD AND COULD HEAR WIND. I PULLED BACK OVER AND GOT OUT TO FIND THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD EXPLODED. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO INFINITI TWO HOURS LATER THE ONLY THING THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD TELL ME WAS THAT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I DID AND MAYBE IT WAS POSITIVE PRESSURE. AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION ALL WINDOWS, INCLUDING THE SUNROOF, WERE CLOSED AND THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS ON FRESH AIR. MY CAR IS LESS THAN A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AND A LOT LESS THAN 60K. CURRENTLY, INFINITI IS NOT OFFERING TO REPAIR THE SUNROOF UNDER GOOD FAITH OR WARRANTY. *KB
SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT OF MY 2007 INFINITI G35X. VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH - NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE EXPLOSION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT, NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE DATA TO BACK UP THEIR STATEMENT THAT THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE. NO INVESTIGATION OR VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. SUNROOF WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITHOUT MY CONSENT. THEY WANT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY CONCRETE EXPLANATION OR DATA OF WHY THIS OCCURRED? *TR
I'VE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO MONTHS AND I REGRET MY CHOICE. THE DRIVER WINDOW ACTS UP. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. I GOES UP EXTREMELY SLOW! THE AUTO BUTTON DOESN'T WORK. JUST TODAY I LOWERED MY WINDOW ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T GO UP. I HAD TO USE MY HANDS TO PRY IT UP. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND GOING DOWNHILL THERE IS A CONSTANT BRAKING FEELING THAT MAKES THE RIDE FEEL JERKY. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SAME EXPERIENCE AND DEA;ER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE. SUNROOF IS VERY NOISY WHEN OPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FLAP THAT POPS UP WHEN THE ROOF IS OPENED IS THE CULPRIT. WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN WITH YOUR HAND IT IS MUCH QUIETER. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
