I'd say that Infiniti is on a downward spiral as far as build quality is concerned...Nissan has been near the bottom for quite some time now.

 

The American-made Nissans have had their problems, but I'd have to disagree on the build quality of the G which is made in Japan. I think it is very well built and easily compares to any other $35K vehicle out there.

is there a fix for the squeaky brakes?

and issues i have are the tranny clunking into gear from drive to reverse. and a driver door that seems to sound like plastic rubbing.

 

my tire pressure light is on for no reason!

My G35 had a service engine soon light come on. I did what the service manual said for the light (opening and closing the gas tank)and eventually it went away. Then while I was driving the car seemed to just drop out of gear. I had to take my foot off the accelerator and let the revs drop before it would engage again. I took it to the dealer and they have had it for over a week now. They finally decided they had to replace the transmission. The car only has 31K miles on it. Very scary!

 

What model do you have?

 

My G35 is an 2003 and I have almost 14k on it now. Here are the problems I've had with it so far:

1 - Rattles all over the place. I have at least 4 interior rattles currently, after 3 were fixed by dealers (once they fix one, another pops up some where else - its a losing battle). I also have an exterior rattle when I first accelerate (sounds like a loose heat shield somewhere under the car).

2 - Moonroof rails in the roof make a popping sound when you turn in or out of a driveway (sounds like an acorn dropping on the roof).

3 - Brembo brakes sometimes squeek loudly when not under braking (just driving)

4 - Clutch chatters off the line - feels almost like a warped flywheel, but its not - I think the clutch material is too "grabby". The car has done this since new.

5 - CD player broke - wouldn't play any CD's, and wouldn't change or eject any CD's. Dealer replaced with new unit. Reminds me - I need to call the dealer about my CD's that were in the broken one.

6 - Navigation system would freeze up sometimes when it was hot out. Dealer updated the firmware, and it seemed to fix the problem.

7 - Moonroof seal creaks and groans over bumps and while turning in and out of driveways, unless I keep lubricating it with silicone lube.

8 - Paint is very soft and chips ridiculously easily. The front of my car looks like it has 140k miles on it, not 14k miles.

9 - Gas mileage is pretty poor, but I really don't care.

Despite all these minor complaints, I still love the car. The car drives so nicely, and looks so ****** good, that its easy to overlook its problems/shortcomings. As long as you're a driver and not a nit-picker, I highly recommend this car.

 

Mine just started doing this the last 2 weeks or so. Glad to hear its not just me. It sounds like its skipping but the CDs are brand new. I guess I'll have to call the dealership on Monday
