ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON 93 SOUTH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY THREW ON MY FLASHERS WHILE OTHER CARS WERE WHIZZING BY ME AND CALLED THE STATE POLICE TERRIFIED I WOULD BE HIT AND UNABLE TO MOVE. AFTER I HUNG I UP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF. AFTER A FEW MORE MINUTES UNABLE TO BEAR SITTING THERE, I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED. I CALLED BACK THE STATE TROOPERS AND WAS TOLD TO JUST GET THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND CALL A TOW TRUCK, I HAD AAA. I DID AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. I HAD IT BROUGHT BY TOW TRUCK THE NEXT MORNING TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME I HAD A FAULTY CAM SENSOR. HE SUGGESTED I BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THESE WERE BEING RECALLED UP UNTIL 2003. I DID AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS JUST THE ECM THAT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. I INSISTED THAT I WAS CONCERNED I COULDN'T GO THROUGH ANOTHER INCIDENT LIKE FRIDAY NIGHT. THEY CALLED MY MECHANIC AND CALLED ME BACK SAYING THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CAM SENSOR FOR $400. I THINK THEY SHOULD BEAR THE COST OF THE CAM SENSOR AS THIS WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND COULD HAVE KILLED ME. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT SO I WENT TO THE DEALER TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT LED LAMP. THE PRICE OF THE LAMP WAS $185.00! THE PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO REPLACE AS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE BOTH THE TRUNK LINING AND REAR SEAT TO REPLACE THE LED LAMP. THE LABOR TO REPLACE THE LAMP IS $200.00! I HAVE SINCE NOTICED THAT ABOUT ONE HALF OF THE INFINITI G35 AND G37 MODELS I SEE ON THE ROAD HAVE THEIR HIGH MOUNT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT INOPERATIVE. THIS IS WITH OUT A DOUBT DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST AND DIFFICULTY TO REPLACE WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE REPLACEMENT LAMP. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE IS A COMMON FAILING ISSUE WITH THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS OF INFINITI G35 SEDANS THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN BETWEEN 2003-2006. INFINITI/NISSAN FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW GENERATION (STARTING 2006) HOWEVER THEY DO NOT SEEM TO RESPONSE WELL TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FOR OUR VEHICLES. THIS CAUSES POTENTIAL THREAT TO HIGHWAY SECURITY. PLEASE MAKE INFINITI RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT ONCE BUT IT KEEPS FAILING BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS THE BOARD, NOT THE LED LIGHTS. THANK YOU. *TR

SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE WITH THE SPORT TUNED SUSPENSION OPTION. RUBBER BUSHINGS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION COMPRESSION RODS CRACKED CAUSING SEVERE MISALIGNMENT AND EXCESSIVE CAMBER. THIS CAUSED EXTREME TIRE WEAR ON THE INNERMOST 0.5-INCH OF TIRE TREAD ON BOTH FRONT TIRES, AND EXPOSED AND WORE THROUGH THE STEEL BELTS AND RADIAL PLIES ON THE LEFT TIRE. THE REMAINDER OF BOTH TIRES' TREADS SHOW NORMAL WEAR WITH ALL FOUR TREADS ON EACH TIRE MEASURING 4/32 TO 5/32. THE EXCESSIVE WEAR WAS NOT VISIBLE DUE TO ITS LOCATION ON THE TIRE WITHIN THE WHEEL WELL. THERE WAS NO DEGRADATION IN RIDE OR HANDLING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND NO NOISE CREATED TO WARN THE DRIVER. OWNER DISCOVERED THE DANGEROUS TIRE WEAR DURING ROUTINE REPLACEMENT OF FRONT BRAKE PADS. VEHICLE HAS ALL STOCK SUSPENSION WITH KUMHO ECSTA SPT KU31 225/40-19 TIRES. OWNER IS THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE OWNER AND RETAINED DAMAGED COMPRESSION RODS AND TIRES FOR TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,960 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND 33,788 MILES ON THE TIRES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
COMING TO A STOP ON AN INTERSTATE EXIT RAMP, THE CAR SLOWED TO ABOUT 25MPH WITH NORMAL BRAKING AT WHICH TIME THE BRAKE STOPPED SLOWING THE CAR. I PRESSED THE PETAL ON TO THE FLOOR AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKE MECHANISM STOPPED THE CAR IN ABOUT 150 FEET. JUST BEFORE STOPPING, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARDS A FEW TIMES. I HAD NOT BEEN REPEATEDLY BRAKING ON THE INTERSTATE: A CAUSE OF BRAKE FLUID BOILING WHICH HAS BEEN OFFERED AS AN EXPLANATION OF THIS FAILURE IN OTHER INCIDENTS WITH THIS AND THE 350Z. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I CONTACTED MICHELIN PER THE NHTSA AND I DID NOT RECEIVE A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE. MY CAR TIRES WERE EXAMINE BY THIRD PARTY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT.

I HAVE OCCURRED ABOUT 700.00 IN PERSONAL COSTS AND I AM STILL ON THREE BAD TIRES. MICHELIN STATED THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY INSURANCE COMPANY FILE THE CLAIM. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. THEY WILL NOT FILE FOR MY PERSONAL COSTS INVOLVE AND WILL NOT SEEK PAYMENT FROM MICHELIN. *TR
