2006 Infiniti G35 recalls

Recall 10V-175: Seats, Air Bags

Reported Apr 27, 2010 · 134,215 vehicles affected · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Problem: Nissan is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2007 infiniti g35 sedans manufactured from march 29, 2004 through august 25, 2006 and infiniti g35 coupes manufactured from april 1, 2004 through may 30, 2007. The wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor (Bts) and the occupant detection sensor (Ods) control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and oxidization of the terminals and may cause interruption of the signal.

Risk: In the event of a crash, the airbag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.

Fix: Nissan will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 12, 2010. Owners may contact nissan toll-free at 1-800-662-6200.

Recall 06V-394: Exterior Lighting

Risk: This standard is to reduce crashes, injuries and deaths by providing adequate illumination of the roadway, and by enhancing the conspicuity of motor vehicles on the public roads so that their presence is perceived and their signals understood, both in daylight and in darkness or other conditions of reduced visibility.

Fix: Dealers will replace the headlamp assemblies. The recall is expected to begin on or about april 16, 2007. Owners may contact infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

Electrical System · reported Feb 20, 2025
The fuel gauge in my Infiniti G35x is malfunctioning and does not show the correct fuel levels. As a result, my vehicle has unexpectedly run out of fuel multiple times, causing it to stop on the side of the road. This poses a significant safety risk as it can lead to sudden and dangerous situations for both myself and other drivers. Stopping on the side of the road in such conditions can also result in potential traffic violations. This issue needs to be addressed to ensure safer driving.
Electrical System · reported Jul 12, 2023
Fuel gauge in instrument cluster malfunctioned, inaccurately reading more than half full. This caused me to run out of gas on a public road. In addition to the risk of becoming a stationary road hazard, I lost power brakes and steering when the gas ran out which caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealship or service center, however I had the sending units replaced which a mechanic said would fix the issue and it didn't. The gauge is still inaccurate. I have not had the cluster inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance…
