EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2006 INFINITI G35 AND JUST LEARNED THAT MY CENTER HIGH MOUNT STOP LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE BEGUN TO RESEARCH THIS AND DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON AMONG CARS SIMILAR TO MINE. I KNOW THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING RECENTLY AND I HAVE SEEN IT ILLUMINATE RECENTLY BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS CONCERNS ME FOR THE SAFETY AND REPAIR PROBLEMS, AND FOR THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION, THIS IS A KNOWN AND REPEATABLE ISSUE WITH MANY G35 SEDANS YEARS 2003-2006. THE REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT STOPS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, OR WORKS IN VARYING DEGREES OF BRIGHTNESS, WITH NO CONSISTENCY, RHYME OR REASON. UNABLE TO GET THE LIGHT TO REMAIN ON CONSISTENTLY, AND GIVEN THE FEEDBACK IN ONLINE FORUMS, ETC - THIS IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT INSTALLATION, ETC.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE CAR IS A 2003 INFINITI G35. MY WIFE WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED. TRAFFIC COMING THE OTHER WAY HAD TO ALSO STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND GET IT GOING AGAIN, ONLY FOR IT TO STOP RUNNING ONE MORE TIME BEFORE GETTING HOME. I PULLED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES FROM THE CAR. IT FAILED WITH A P0345 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT BANK 2. THIS SENSOR HAD A VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT FROM INFINITI ON THE SAME YEAR MODEL CAR, EXCEPT OUR VIN NUMBER FALLS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED, AS THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT SHOULD IT FAIL AT THE WRONG TIME. THE CAR DIES, WHICH MEANS YOU LOSE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WILL REPLACE THE SENSORS AS THE DEALER I SPOKE WITH WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER THE VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE VIN NOT BEING COVERED. THERE ARE 4 OF THESE SENSORS ON THIS CAR SO THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. PLEASE LOOK INTO GETTING THE RECALL FOR THIS PART EXPANDED TO COVER ALL CARS. THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE TO NOT DO THAT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT 55K MILES, CAR IS REFUSING TO ACCEPT ANY MORE THAN 6 GALLONS OF GAS. LOOKED IT UP AND THERE ARE FOUR TSB'S ON IT BUT NO RECALLS. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 G35 SEDANS. CALLED INFINITI IN AUSTIN AND WAS TOLD "OH YEAH, WE'VE SEEN THAT PROBLEM A LOT. IT'S ABOUT $900 TO FIX IT." RIDICULOUS THAT AN OBVIOUS FLAW WITH THE CAR, OCCURRING NATIONWIDE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
TODAY, I FOUND 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN LEAK OIL INTO SPARK PLUG HOLE. OIL LEAK INTO THE SPARK HOLE WOULD CAUSE ENGINE FIRE WITH HIGH VOLTAGE FROM IGNITION COILS. I ALSO FOUND THIS ISSUE WAS NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE BUT MOST OF INFINITI/NISSAN VEHICLES HAD THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE NISSAN ALREADY HAS KNOWN THIS ISSUE. I HOPE NHTSA WOULD DO SOMETHING FOR ALL OF NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT A AUTOMOBILE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE NEW REAR BRAKES PADS AND REFINISHED ROTORS AT ONLY 20,000 MILES. I CONSIDER THIS SITUATION AS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ANY BRAKE PARTS AS SOON. USUALLY, THE FRONT BRAKE WEAR FIRST. THE BRAKES WERE BECOMING VERY POOR AND I HAD TO HAVE THEM SERVICED FOR SAFETY REASON. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD CHECK INTO THIS AS I REALLY FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS AWARE OF THIS APPARENT DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL. THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS
POTENTIAL FAILURE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT. WITH ADULT PASSENGER SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATES INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM THAT I SHARED WITH INFINITI OF CHANTILLY DEALER THAT SHOWS THE LIGHT ON WITH VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR WITH ADULT PASSENGER IN SEAT. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 25-30 MILES. TOOK CAR IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. NO RESOLUTION FROM INFINITI. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT ON 03-04 INFINITI G35 SEDAN SPONTANEOUSLY FAILS. IT WILL WORK 10% OF THE TIME, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. TO REPLACE THE BULB, OWNERS HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE BACKSEAT AND REAR PANEL. INFINITI SAYS THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE PART AT AN ABSURD COST THAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE PRICE OF THE PART OR LABOR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN WITH A REAR WINDOW THIRD BRAKE STARTED TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE ISSUE STARTED SOMETIME AROUND 75,000 MILES WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ONLY BE DIM WITH TWO OF THE LEDS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ENTIRELY NOT TURN ON. NOW AT 98,000 MILES, THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE WITH THE LIGHT NOT TURNING ON 90% OF THE TIME. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF DUE TO THE RESULTS OTHERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ON THE WWW.G35DRIVER.COM FORUM. I WAS QUOTED A HIGH PRICE TO REPLACE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AND IT WAS WITH A PART NOT IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE SAFETY ADDITION THE LIGHT IS MADE FOR. THERE ARE STRICT LAWS IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THE OPERATION OF THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WORKING AND NOW HOPING THAT I DO NOT GET PULLED OVER DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
