And the tires wear out because they are performance tires and the car is easy and fun to drive aggressively. 12k miles from a high performance tire is not out of the ordinary.

Tires
You obviously know NOTHING about the tire problem if you say it's just because they are performance tires. I don't have the time or energy to list all the problems with the suspension but it's listed a hundred times over on this forum.
Yes, if you can get 10-15k out of performance tires, that isn't so bad. That isn't what we are talking about here. They scallop from day 1, then get loud.

I'll be one to say that BMW's quality is not flawless but even when people w/o warranties, including myself, are getting common problems fixed at no charge it definitely shows BMW's dedication toward backing their products. I guess what I'm wondering, has anyone ever had their cd changer replaced after their warranty at no charge? My g/f purchased her 2003 G-Coupe early this year and with only 35k mi, she experienced the dreadful cd error. Being just out of a patheticly low mileage warranty, she is now stuck between investing in a new radio unit or possibly going with an ipod adapter kit, either way she will need to spend some cash. In my honest opinion I find it hard to believe that all you G35 owners are having to put up with Infiniti's negligence. To see such a manufacturer turn their head and say "well your out of warranty" and only have 35k mi is absolutely ridiculous. I was thinking that with such a strong force as the owners who have received this same response, why has no one tried persuing something a little more threatening as a class-action-lawsuit?
I think its time Infiniti stopped depending on their warranties and started helping service their clientele better. Any insight from you guys would be appreciated. Let's get the service we paid for!!!!!!

Gawwg Hollyhood why the flame? You're right I obviously know nothing about the tire problem so please excuse my blatant oversight. And please relax.
So i sent my cd changer to http://www.videoservicestop.com/radi...s/infiniti.htm and they cannot fix it. They are offering a refurb for some price currently undertermined but around $300. So I'm saying screw the changer and getting an Ipod.
I AM however PISSED that the damn A/C wont work without the radio. Now thats worth suing someone!

I would happily sign a petition. I do think that Nissan/Infiniti ought to do something on a very known, common widespread problem. I would probably not be willing to participate in a lawsuit, I agree we are much too sue-happy in this country.
My car is an '03 that has 30k miles. I have literally used the cd player less than 20 times and it has failed taking 6 discs with it. I think this is horribly unacceptable. True it may be 4 years old now, but with that little use on it should that really matter? Plus all the people that have ones fail in the first year? Seems that if Infiniti chooses to partner up with and continue the relationship with a radio vendor making crappy products than they should be also willing to pony up some replacements in or out of warranty. I will say one thing... this is my last Infiniti. I love my car, and I understand that a performance car will have some durability issues, I have no complaints there. I just don't like Infiniti's method of doing business... seems extremely dealer dependent. Some dealers go out of their way to be helpful, others are horrible and not helpful at all. Mine is actually pretty good, but not especially willing to go out on a limb to try and get something replaced free. Their new service manager promised to call me about it, but never has. Nor has he returned my additional calls on the radio.
I've also had my tranny replaced at 25k miles, though they did cover that under warranty.

First off...
YOU HAVE A 4 YEAR/60,000 MILE WARRANTY!!!
Get your damn CD changer looked at.
Secondly...

If you'd like to be in the VAST minority of people who have NOT had any major issues with your car, you can still vote in the above poll.
I've got 72k miles and am on the original CD changer, as are most people (mileage varies, of course) that have not responded or even viewed this thread.

i didn't know it was an issue when i bought it. but i guess i found out the hard way, cuz mine gone 35k. the fact that you could put in an aftermarket system, or repair it for $200 is irrelevant. bottom line is there should be a recall when its blatantly apparent that there is a fundamental problem. music is life! so it is as important as any other feature on the car. if you dont agree picture this world without music ! okay then.
