I have an 03 coupe with about 54,000 miles on it. The power to my driver's side door lock slowly died over the course of a couple of days. Now I have to manually lock/unlock the door. Of course I'm very pissed off about this. This shouldn't happen to a car that's a little over 4 years old. Now that my warranty period is over I guess I gotta shell out money to the dealership for this bs problem. I feel like writing a complaint letter to Infiniti on this. Am I justified? I don't recall hearing this happen to any other g35 owners.

 

my passenger did this a couple months back and my driver side was just replaced yesterday.. I have an 03 coupe too.. how long has your warranty been over, they might do it under warranty if its very recent

the part # that the dealer replaced is 80501-AM80A

hope that helps in anyway

 

Thanks for the responses guys...I guess I'm not alone. My warranty was up this past February, but I still think this is an unreasonable amt of time for a part like this to be replaced.

 

yeah ,i just replaced mine,and i have 44k on my car,it cost me 175.00 canadian for the part and about 1 hour to install,mind you i work on nissans for a living,but it is really easy to do the only scary part is removing the window but it is easy for a newbie if you go slow.

 

my passenger went out on my 05 on 6/23/07 still have not fixed it!!!

 

damn my 03 warranty is up in 1/08 i hope mine dies before then. Going to get the CD player replaced today...woot woot

 

That sucks...thank goodness I purchased the extended warranty.

 

What are the signs of this happening? I know my lock started to lock and unlock itself but that was about a week ago and has been fine since then.

 

Well in my case I initially noticed that the lock would only turn half or part of the way, or need 2 pushes of the button to fully turn.

 

I bet it's gone out by now!

 

Unfortunately is is an issue with these cars and the dealer charges a ton for parts and labor. PM pythonjosh here on the forums. He has an aftermarket kit he sells for about $45. I installed mine a few weeks ago and it's working great.

 

If you dont want to do 45, look up $5 door lock fix or something like that on here. its his DIY on it and its great

 

damn this is happening on both doors on mine.. The weird thing is that it only does it when it's really hot outside... in the morinings it is really responsive.

 

Can't speak for that $5 thing but I went with the kit from pythonjosh a couple years ago and it's still going strong.
