Quote: Wow, Fast1, you're a changed man. In six months, you've lost complete confidence in Infiniti, the G35 build quality, and your ability to solve rattles that are "girly problems".

Sorry about all the quotes but I was tempted to see if you had modified the suspension and that maybe an aftermarket conversion was causing all the rattles. I don't see that you've done that and it leaves me a little confused as to why your car rattles so badly and why my car (G35X) is so rattle free. Could it be that mine is an 04, known for their superior build quality?

I'm sorry your experience has been so bad. But it doesn't seem to be the same for all G35 owners and for me, at least, the build quality is excellent. Better luck with your next ride!!!

Oops, better watch out for my own contradicitions now that I know the "thread police" are around.

Rattle-free, rwd, 280 hp, luxury sport coupe for $35k! Where can I sign up?
After 74k miles, there's nothing on the market I would rather have in this price range.

I had a pretty bad rattle in my car. Turns out it was two CDs clicking together in the passenger's side door.

/Doh!

Yeah, it's funny no one ever complains about house noises, roof creaking and popping with very cold temperatures etc........

The "thread police" are only concerned if you're unloyal to the brand.

Check under the seats for some rattle snakes…Those rattle like hell…

The only things that rattle in my G are sunglasses, garage door opener, CD's, coins, tire pressure gauge and my cell phone.

hey man i feel ya i have 2004.5 coupe with 15k miles and you're right for every rattle they fix a new one appears within a week. now that its cold out (i think high today is 15 degrees F) thats all it does. so i turn up the stereo (no bose) and the passenger speaker starts to rattle. its a major pain in the @ss. i still love my car but come on, whenever u get a loaner, usually a g35x i dont hear a peep.

my 03 coupe has no rattles in it at 35,000 miles on it. I could not be happier with mine. It has had absulotly no problems. But I guess it sucks for you. You must drive over a whole lot of bad streets with a whole lot of pot holes or something, i always avoid those bad roads. They will get you...

Just had the dealer work to get three seperate rattles out of my car ('05 with 4000 miles) that were noticable from the day I drove it off the lot.
