EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY-KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS, AND THAT INFINITI (NISSAN) HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT BUT HAS TAKEN NO ACTION TO ADDRESS IT. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION IN THE INTERESTS OF KEEPING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OTHER MOTORISTS SAFE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T WORKING 100%, IT ONLY TURNS ON THE FIRST FEW MINUTES I USE MY BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER AWHILE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS USED, THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I'VE RECEIVED THE CAR AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT OPERATING AS A SAFE CAR WOULD HAVE IT OPERATING. MANY OF MY OTHER FELLOW INFINITI G35 OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO. WE WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO PUT OUT A RECALL AND HAVE IT FIXED TO INCREASE THE AUTOMOBILE OPERATORS SAFETY, AND TO ALSO ABIDE BY THE LAW WITH AN OPERATING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. *TR

AIR BAGS
IN JUNE OF 2009, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS SERVED AT THE DEALER (REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE COSTING $735.50). IN OCTOBER 2010, I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL CONCERNING THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, BUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY MADE REPAIRS AT NO COST. I NOTIFIED INFINITE CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT HAVING REPAIRS MADE TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG PRIOR TO THE RECALL AND THEY REIMBURSED MY INITIAL COST ($735.50). THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AGAIN APRIL 6, 2011. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND JUST BRING IT IN WHEN I COULD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON APRIL 11, 2011, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM BEING WITH THE AIR BAG MODULE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AT A COST OF $487.82 TO REPAIR IT. THEY SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL OF 2010 AND WOULD NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THIS TIME (YET I WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG REPAIR AFTER THE 2010 RECALL). THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND IT IS NO LONGER FLASHING. I TOLD THEM I WANTED THE REPAIR AND DID NOT THINK IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS. THEY SAID THEY ARE ORDERING THE PARTS AND WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY COME IN. THEY ALSO SAID THE FLASHING LIGHT WOULD EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH INFINITE CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND OPENED A CASE #XXXXXXX. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR IF IT WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE IT IS REPAIRED. I WONDER IF INFINITE IS BEING FORTHRIGHT ABOUT THE AIR BAG ISSUES. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS ARE AFFECTED.

INTERIOR LIGHTING
MY G35 AND MANY OTHER G35 OWNERS ALL SEEM TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH OUR REAR HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT (THIRD BRAKE LIGHT INSIDE THE BACK WINDSHIELD). IF THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I'VE HEARD EVEN REPLACEMENT BULBS GO OUT VERY QUICKLY, SIMILAR TO THE POWER WINDOW MOTORS THAT ALWAYS FAIL EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THE OWNER OF THE CAR IS NOT AWARE HIS LIGHT WENT OUT. ALSO MORE COSTLY THAN IT SHOULD BE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2003 INFINITI G35. I HAVE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAULT ON ALL DASH CONTROLS (HEATER/AC, RADIO, CD, FAN). WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE RADIO WENT OFF, THE FAN BLOWER WENT UP AND EVERYTHING ELSE OFF. I COULD NOT CONTROL ANYTHING. IT EVENTUALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL, BUT RANDOMLY OCCURS - ALWAYS VERY INCONVENIENT AND NOT SAFE. I CALLED INFINITI BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR THAT HAS THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM MONTHS AGO, AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE THROUGH A RECALL (WHICH NEITHER OF US RECEIVED -SHE FOUND THE RECALL ONLINE). INFINITI TOLD ME THEY CANNOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - AND THEY MENTIONED THE COST TO REPAIR IS IN EXCESS OF $1000. I ASK WHY, IF I HAVE THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, AND BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS, PERHAPS THOUSANDS, OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND OTHER PLACES, WHY WOULD MY CAR NOT BE REPAIRED? APPARENTLY THEIR RECALL ONLY INCLUDES '03 MODELS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO A PARTICULAR DATE. HOW REDICULOUS! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE DEFROST AND THE WINDOWS CAN FOG IMMEDIATELY, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE AC COULD BEGIN BLOWING FULL FORCE DURIING COLD WEATHER, OR NOT AT ALL DURING VERY HOT WEATHER. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY, AND THE DRIVER HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF ANY DASH CONTROLS. IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE WITHOUT QUESTION! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE THIRD (HIGH MOUNT) BRAKE LIGHT IS INOPERATIVE ON MY 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. NO INDIVIDUAL EVENT LEAD TO THIS OCCURRENCE. WITHOUT READING OTHER OWNER'S COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I WOULD NOT HAVE CHECKED MINE. WHEN CHECKED, MINE TOO WAS INOPERATIVE. AFTER MONITORING, THIS IS NOT A SPORADIC ISSUE, IT IS INOPERATIVE AT ALL TIMES. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT SUFFERED ANY DIRECT CONSEQUENCES, BUT I AM NOW CONCERNED I RUN A HIGHER RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO EFFECT A LARGE MAJORITY OF G35 OWNERS, INFINITI WILL NOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. REPAIR COST IS NEARLY $500.00, BUT INFINITI HAS NOT UPDATED THE PART, SO I FEAR ANOTHER FAILURE WOULD BE IMMINENT. HOWEVER, FOR PERSONAL SAFETY I HAVE NO CHOICE. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS LESS THAN HALF THE TIME. THE REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT WHEN ON IS VISIBLE FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. IT HAS BEEN A CONCERN FOR ABOUT 3 MONTH. VIEWED ON A G35 FORUM THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON FOR OUR CARS. FILLING OUT TO THIS COMPLAINT TO TRY TO GET A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THE TAIL LIGHTS WOULD LOOK LIKE NIGHT LIGHTS AND NOT BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASE MY 2004 G35 LAST YEAR AND ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 LATER I STARTED TO NOTICE A STROP GAS SMELL. DIDN'T PAY NO MIND TO IT UNTIL WHEN I MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT AND WALK OUT TO MY CAR AN NOTED A PUDDLE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND IT WAS GAS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN EVER I FILL UP MY CAR IS WHEN THE SPILLAGE HAPPENS THE MOST AND I LOSE ALOT OF GAS UNTIL IT GET BELOW 1/2 TANK THEN IT STOPS SPILLING UT BUT YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE GAS. I HAVE TURNED IT INTO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE YET TO MENTION TO ME WHAT IT IS. JUST BECAUSE THERE HAPPEN TO BE A SMALL DENT ON THE TANK UNDERNEATH THEY SAY THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME WHEN IT ONLY SPILLS WHEN ITS FULL AND NOT WHEN ITS LESS THEN HALF. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK AND CHARGE ME $1600+ TO REPLACE THE TANK. DOES THIS FALL UNDER ANY KIND OF RECALL FRO FUEL LEAKAGE? *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT CAUSING FAILED STATE INSPECTION. ONCE I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, IT WAS LEARNED THAT MANY SIMILAR VEHICLES HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE THE LIGHT IS BEHIND THE REAR GLASS OF THE VEHICLE, SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT A REAR BRAKE LIGHT CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
