NHTSA Complaint #10291066 — 2003 INFINITI G35

MY INFINITI G 35 FIRST BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CD PLAYER. IT NO LONGER WORKS, BUT HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO THE RADIO AND AC OR HEATER FREEZING UP. IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME GOES ON. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT I CAN NOT CONTROL THE DEFROST OR HEAT WHEN IT FREEZES. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND YESTERDAY THE HEATER ON THE CAR TURNED ITSELF UP TO 90 DEGREES WITH THE BLOWER AT FULL BLAST. MY DAUGHTER IS A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN SHE DRIVES BACK HOME ON WEEKENDS THAT SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE DEFROSTER THIS WINTER. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND WOULD HATE FOR HER TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER. WE ALSO NEVER KNOW IF THE AIR OR HEAT WILL TURN TO ITS LOW OR HIGH WITH THE BLOWER AT FULL SPEED. SEVERAL CAR MECHANICS HAVE MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 INFINITI G 35'S. ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS WEBSITES WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL.*TR
