What owners report

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!

The dashboard near the windshield is melting causing a sticky residue which causes a glare when driving. The glare is so blinding that I hate to drive when it's sunny outside and is a major safety issue. I've read and seen numerous complaints online regarding my make, model and year but Nissan is refusing to acknowledge these complaints and issue a recall. There appears to be issued recalls for certain models such fx35, m35 and some altimas but the issue appears to be much larger problem across the board. Something needs to be done before people start to lose their lives over this egregiousness and negligence and the government needs/should force Nissan to account for this immediately before someone dies because of this.

2005 G35 · May 2015

I have a 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan. My audio failed and A/C stuck . . . The same problem they voluntarily repaired in 2003. (service bulletin #03007a and NHTSA item #10001253) it is caused by a failure of the audio finisher circuit board. Because of this, I am unable to turn on the window defroster and have difficulty seeing through the windshield when there is condensation due to certain weather conditions. When I brought my car to the dealership in roseville where I bought it, they said they would check on it but knowing there was only 10 days until my extended warranty was up, they never followed up. I have seen many 2004 owners on line with the same problem but Nissan/Infiniti don't seem to care. This is definitely a safety issue as my windshield fogs up when I drive to work, which is always early since I am a nurse and af reservist.

2004 G35 · 83,000 miles · May 2009

My driver and passenger vehicle window's motor has continuously burned out or chooses not to work at times. I have re-placed the window motor several, yet it still does not roll up or down all the time. I have to hit the area where the motor is located on the door in order to get it to start moving, sometimes I will be there for hours trying to roll up my window when I leave the car. There has been a few incidents where I close my driver door with and with out a heavy force and the motor will roll my window down half way. I have concluded that the window's motor must be defective and hopes to write a complaint so that infinity motors can recall this issue and fix it, my window has rolled down during rainy season, and it is quite uncomfortable to drive in wet leather seats.
