2005 Infiniti G35 X review from North America
"Nice car, with an obvious design problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A rock hit my A/C condenser, and it cost me over $700.00 to repair. There is an apparent design flaw in the front bumper. There is a hole directly in front of the condenser that will allow a golf ball size rock to directly impact the condenser. Consider buying another model.
The 2006 model has changed this design by closing up this hole. There aren't any other design changes outside from the 2005 to the 2006 model.
I was stopped when the steam and coolant vented outside the engine compartment. I hope this wouldn't be a safety issue if this was to happen on the freeway.
General comments?
Infiniti wouldn't consider helping pay for the repairs, and I guess that's their position. I'm not happy with their lack of willing to accept that they have a design flaw.
I will not consider Infiniti on my next car purchase.
