| I have 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. driver's seat rocked back-and-forth. took it to infiniti dealer who stated that the driver's seat frame assembly had separated due to faulty weld joints! dealer stated that the driver's seat frame assembly seat was not covered by any warranty or recall. dealer also stated that if i didn't pay the $1,100.00 to have the driver's seat frame assembly replaced and i was in any kind of car accident, the faulty driver's seat frame assembly would cause the seat to become completely detached from the car and cause the seat to be thrown about inside the car. i therefore paid to have the driver's seat frame assembly replaced. however, a couple of days ago i noticed that the rocking is starting again! clearly there is something wrong with the driver's seat frame assemblies that are coming directly from nissan, which owns infiniti! in fact, according to nhtsa website, other nissan cars from 2003, like the 350z are having problems with the seats! clearly this is worthy of some time of investigation or recall since the nhtsa has on file a lot of complaints and service bulletins on this same issue from nissan cars! *cn | |||

| 2003 infiniti g35 with a recall on the engine. customer states that the dealer told her that her car was not included in the recall even though the symptoms were the same. dealer refused to fix it unless she paid 11,000 dollars to fix it. *kb the dealer informed the consumer the engine shut down because the piston broke causing it to hit the engine which put a hole in the engine block. the consumer had a used engine put in the vehicle on july 24, 2006 but, one year later the engine failed. the consumer stated she has had numerous problems with the brakes, the driver's seat made a constant noise, the 6 cd changer malfunctioned and ceased to operate and the window motor was replaced. *jb | |||

| The driver's seat shifts back and forth on the rails when starting and stopping. as a result, the brake pedal or gas pedal is depressed further than intended. this is most certainly a safety issue. i have contacted infiniti and been told that nissan is aware of the problem but does not have an imminent solution. i need this problem repaired on my vehicle immediately! *ak | |||

| Bought my infiniti g35 in may of 2002, ever since day one, the driver's seats seems to be moving, rocking during acceleration and braking.. this seems to be a common problem on a lot of g35's. dealer's and infiniti has not relesase a fix that works yet after a year... i believe that this is a dangerous problem, because twice my foot slipped off of the brake pedal during braking and almost caused an accident..... there also seems to be a problem with life of the brake pads and rotors where they might fail prematurely... most drivers of the g complain that their pads and rotors are needing to be replaced as soon as 8,000 miles and are not covered by the warranty.*ak | |||

| Drivers seat rocks back and forth, sometimes emitting a popping or clicking noise, especially when accelerating from a stop or while cornering under normal driving conditions. the movement of the drivers seat while driving the car has caused disruption of normal driving habits, resulting in erratic acceleration and over and understeering. i have found certain adjustments to the seat reduce the movement, but these adjustments make the seat uncomfotable and do not provide the proper sitting position i need to operate the vehicle safely. i see this as a safety issue and have thus notified two seperate infiniti dealerships, both of whom were unable to resolve the problem and one of which made the movement worse during their inspection of the faulty seat. i own an infiniti g35 with the premium package, which includes leather upholstery and a full-power drivers seat.*ak | |||
