I have the same problem but worse mine is cracked above the trim that goes on top of the radio.This car dash are cheap once i went to the beach and left the parking ticket on the dash and when i came back n took it off it got stick to the dash a liltle.Its like if the material melts or gets sticky when hot.I got quote like $100 something to get the whole dash redone but must be a PITA to take if off.

 

i feel like i bought a luxury car and i got a car with a problem. i am going to the infinity dealer tomorrow and i want them to evaluate the car. the manufacturer wants to pay 50% of the replacement of the dasboard. i think they should cover 100%, or this car shouldn't be called "luxury "car...

 

please let me know what happens i need to get mine done

How old is your car? If it's an 03-05 you have a 8-10 year old car and it's inevitable, things break/wear out luxury car or not. IMHO the G isn't really a luxury car, more of a really nice car.

 

Even covering it with a sun shade won't stop it from drying out and cracking. You need to take more preventative measures than that. Putting a sun shade up is like saying, "I run a California car duster over my car every now and then," and then never bothering to wash or wax the paint.

 

Putting a protectant on your dash that blocks UV from the sun will help.

 

Check this place out and see if they have a location near you. You don't need to replace the dash. Or at least you shouldn't just for a crack in it. Check their before and after shots and see for yourself that it can be repaired. Just need to find a good interior restoration place first

It being a luxury car doesn't make it invincible to wear and tear.

 

terese, I too have a 2006 g35 with cracks in the dash, didn't start till the car was out of warrenty. They want 1900. to replace it. The car has always been garage kept, no reason for this. Obviously the material they are using is deffective! contact me at reasley@cfl.rr.com

 

class action sounds like the only answer to me.(livewire)

 

I can get the part for 750 shipped.

 

Can use your help, I've contacted Channel 9 news, they're taking it on. Maybe we can get these recalled by Nissan. It's happening with the M's and Fx's also.

Plese contact me, reasley@cfl.rr.com. I have contacted channel 9 news and they are coming to my house to see the cracks and get my story. The more people I can give them their contact info. will help us get restitution from Nissan. Nissan offered me 25% replacement refund. That's still $1400. out of my pocket thru no fault of my own.

I too have a cracked dash in my 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe. This crack was spontaneous and has been growing.

I spoke with Infiniti Consumer Affairs and they declined to replace the dash. I explained to them that this is a known issue and that they have issued an extended warranty to FX owners who were complaining of the cracked/bubbled dashboards. The rep told me that the extended warranty for the FX owners was on a "case-by-case" basis and that in my "case" they were declining to fix it.The rep also told me that the decision was final and that I could create an official complaint with the Better Business Bureau's Auto Line. When I asked to speak with someone else who had more authority, he stated that there was no one else I could speak to about this matter and reiterated that the decision was final.

I am in the process of forming the complaint with the Better Business Bureau's Auto Line.

Here is a link to their website if anyone else has had a similar problem with their dash.

Finally, I agree that if there are enough of us out there who have had problems with our dashboards cracking, we should form a class action suit against Infiniti. IMO, its pretty ridiculous that a $40,000 car is manufactured with a dash that is predisposed to cracking/bubbling.

 

I turned this over to action news (consumer complaints). They said they would help me, I guess they're working on the research. It's been about 2 weeks now.
