NHTSA Complaint #10717556 — 2003 INFINITI G35

IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY A/C AND RADIO. A/C BLOWS INTERMITTENTLY AT WHAT EVER TEMPERATURE AND AIR LEVEL IT FEELS LIKE AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE RADIO AT THE SAME TIME CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE HAPPENED IT LASTED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THEN IT JUST STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW IT IS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. THIS IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE THE DEFROSTER IN THE MORNINGS AND LATE AT NIGHT. NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS ALSO UNHEALTHY TO GET A CONSTANT FULL BLOW OF 62 DEGREE AIR BLASTING AT YOU WHEN IT IS 40 TO 50 DEGREES OUT SIDE. EVEN THOUGH I ADJUST THE VENTS CLOSED IT STILL BLOWS COLD AIR THROUGH THEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW. I ENDED UP TAKING MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, NO CODES CAME UP. BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THE AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT BOARD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 700.00.! THERE ARE SO MANY NHTSA COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT SEE OUT YOUR WINDOW, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT WORK THE DEFROSTER!
