Bulletproof so far
#16
When the issue first arose, Infiniti used to replace the entire steering wheel. It wasn't until a bit later, probably after they realized they were going to be doing thousands of them, that they came out with the replacement trim pieces for the steering wheel.

While I understand the concern, the G motor has been in US production since 2002 (with some modifications, of course) averaging 50,000+ sales per year. making it 600,000 units sold (very conservative estimation, actually should be much more considering its placement in other Infiniti models). Besides the car enthusiast forums, how many people, you think, are aware of this problem? Yes, it's known issue here, but it's not a ticking bomb that would affect every owner sooner or later. Furthermore, statistically it's not an issue at all (despite it can happen, as everything else in any car). Regarding the beginning of this topic,. this is my second G. the first one, 2004 got almost 70k without a single problem (pads/rotors not counted, as a normal wear although rotors are the weakest link there). The current one, 2008 G35 has 115000 miles, also trouble free. The car runs like new. I was waiting for a replacement (aka Q50) but after its last year introduction found it lost the G's fun and value, will be waiting for something more interesting.
