2005 G35 recalls or "TSB"

Anybody know where I can find a list (if there is any)
recalls or Technical Service Bulletins as the dealers like to call them?

I've heard of the buzzing and slight rattles the G35 has and
my 2005 seems to be no different.
In the first 500 or so miles the driver's B-pillar began to make
a faint buzzing/ticking noise especially when driving over anything
but the smoothest of surfaces.
Well recently I've noticed a slight rattle/clicking coming from what
sounds like the back (maybe from the platform where the rear Bose speaker
sits...???)

I know there's been discussions before and I know searching can help and will produce the dash/shifter/clock squeak TSB, but
I figured a complete list of the recalls or TSB (maybe other squeek areas have been added) would be helpful for all.
If the buzzing/rattling is in there, I want to take my car in.

Thanks

Recalls and TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) are two different things.

I have noticed the buzz (rattle) in the driver's side B-pillar also. I found that it is coming from the seat belt height adjuster. I only get the noise if the height adjuster is in the highest slot. I just dropped it down to the middle position, and I have never heard it again.

I thanks guys, this appears to solve my problem.
The ticking/buzzing noise from the front door B-pillar
might be fixed under this TSB:

And the clicking noise I was hearing coming from the rear might be
the rear door TSB that I saw too.

Update:

So far the ticking/buzzing noise coming from the
driver's B-Pillar or the rear window/platform area
behind the rear seats where the speakers are
both have NOT been fixed.

After a couple trips to the dealer, they installed the foam
in the other areas where TSB's have listed.
But only after the 2nd trip to complain about the
driver's B-pillar did they tell me it was the
Window Regulator bolts.
But guess what, they didn't have the new ones in stock
so I've had to set up another appointment.

The ticking noise coming from what appears to be the
rear window or surrounding area has NOT been cured.

Gotta say, this is VERY annoying in a $38K car.
Our 2002 Maxima has ZERO rattles or buzzes at all
even after 60K miles of driving. How come the "luxury"
division of Nissan can't make their cars rattle/buzz free??

I hope this weeks visit solves this, because it REALLY spoils my
liking for this car.
I've never owned a car that rattles/buzzes as much as
this G35, unless the car was 10+ years old!

I hear you man. My G is in the shop again and again. I currently having my third HU installed and about 4 TSB looked at. My car doesn't even have 3k on the clock yet.

I agree, mine rattles more than any other car I have owned new/used/old or new. I have renamed my car the G POS.

I also have the buzz in the b pilar, the right rear window creaking and the passenger front door buzz when the bass hits. The dealer has yet to fix these issues after it has been in 4 times for them.

I also had the right rear quarter window creaking. The first time they did I don't know what to it, but did not replace anything. I took it back about a month or two later and they replaced all the rubber in that window as I showed the shop foreman at the dealership that I could slide the window around with my hand within the molding. Since then it's been fine.

Santa Monica Infiniti just called. They need a third day to replace my HU.

This has got to be one of the most expensive installs they have done.

Go Infiniti !!!

Uh? Which dealer did you go to? I went to Cerritos Infiniti to have my rear windows creaks fixed and also asked about the windows bolt TSB. They told me all 05 G35s DO NOT have the windows regulator bolt problems. For the rear windows creak they claimed to have installed some kind of padding. The service manager was quick to point out that if I still hear creaks it would be due to the tint film on the windows. Of course all the annoying creaks came back after 1 week. So which dealer is talking out of their *****??

Same scenario here except adjusting does not stop the rattle/tick. Temporarily, I have wedged a small piece of paper between the adjuster and the B-pillar and it has stopped. When I have time, I will remove the B-pillar and come up with a more elegant remedy.

The dealer I've been going to is Parkway Infiniti in Valencia.
