I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN AND I HAVE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT (THE ONE IN THE BACK GLASS) EITHER DOES NOT WORK, OR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY.. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE MATTER AND IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE INFINITI FORUMS. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NO LONGER TURN ON. I WAS PULLED OVER BY A NEW JERSEY STATE TROOPER INFORMING ME OF THIS AND HE WENT ON TO GIVE ME A TICKET FOR IT. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED YET BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BY INFINITI SINCE THE LIFE OF THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT SHOULD BE LONGER THAN 5 YEARS ON A $40K CAR. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CAMBER ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS CAUSING WEAR ON THE TIRES. BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN'S BRAKE BACK LIGHT DOES NOT WORK SO I AM ALWAYS SO PARANOID THAT SOMEONE WILL REAR-END ME (THAT HAPPENED ONCE) BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT SEE MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND INFINITI FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PROBLEM ON THEIR SIDE. *TR

THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT (HIGH MOUNT LIGHT) ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE HIGH MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "THIRD BRAKE LIGHT" STOPPED WORKING ON MY VEHICLE 15 MONTHS AGO. DUE TO MY FEAR OF SOMEONE REAR-ENDING ME, OR THE INEVITABLE STOP BY A POLICE OFFICER, I DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION ON MY OWN. I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL AND BROKEN LED BRAKE LIGHT, WITH AN AFTERMARKET LED LIGHT THAT WAS PURCHASED OFF EBAY. I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL LIGHT BULBS EVENTUALLY BURN OUT, BUT LED BULBS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO SO AFTER TWENTY TO ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOURS. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE SAFETY LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE, AT MY OWN COST, WHEN INIFNITI/NISSAN SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED A FUNCTIONING PRODUCT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE REASON I COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IS BECAUSE NEARLY 75% OF INFINITI G35 SEDANS FROM SIMILAR MODEL YEARS AS MY 2004, HAVE A FAILED "THIRD BRAKE LIGHT". THIS IS CLEARLY AN IMPENDING PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASE WAITING TO HAPPEN AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS FROM OCCURRING. INFINITI SHOULD REPLACE ALL FAILED BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALSO REPLACE ANY AFTERMARKET MEASURES THAT OWNERS HAVE TAKEN (WHICH LIKELY DON'T CONFORM TO NHTSA REGULATIONS) WITH NEW LED BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

I OWN A 2003 INFINITI G35 SEDAN AND THE REAR (THIRD) BRAKE LIGHT, WHICH IS LED HAS AN INTERMITTENT FLICKER TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT EVEN FUNCTION AT TIMES. I CAN ONLY NOTICE THIS AT NIGHT TIME (WHEN THE REFLECTION OF THE REAR WINDOW IS MORE VISIBLE) SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 INFINITI G35X. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES. FRIDAY NIGHT, ON MY WAY DRIVING FROM DC TO NY, THE AC GOT STUCK AT 90 DEGREES, AND IN AUTO MODE, THE BACKLIGHT FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT COMPLETELY DEAD, AND THE STEREO WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE 3 DEVICES. SINCE I LIVE ON THE EAST COAST AND ALL THE DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA ARE CLOSED, I CALLED ONE IN RIVERSIDE, CA - RIVERSIDE INFINITI. THEY SAID THE STEREO IS DEAD AND THEY'VE SEEN THE PROBLEM "COUNTLESS TIMES" (QUOTE). I MADE A POSTING ON SEVERAL INFINITI FORUMS ON THE INTERNET REQUESTING ADVICE. THE CONSENSUS IS THE SAME - STEREO IS BAD. I FEEL THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND MY HVAC SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED TO THE STEREO AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, INFINITI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL/TSB. *TR

MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS SOMETIMES AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED ON THE STREETS! I WAS TOLD THAT MY LIGHT DIDN'T WORK WHEN I SLOWED DOWN WHICH CAUSED THE OTHER DRIVER BE UNAWARE. I CALLED THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST AROUND $600 TO FIX IT. EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT DRIVER PROBLEM RELATED I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NISSAN JUST STARTED A RECALL FOR STALLED ENGINE. MY CAR (2004 INFINTI G35) SEEMS TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. NOW, THE ENGINE STALLS ONCE IN A WHILE AND YOU HAVE TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK. I CALLED INFINITI AND THEY SAID CAN NOT DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE SPECIFIC RECALL. THE CAR POSES SAFETY ISSUE IF IT IS TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY, IT WILL THREATEN SAFETY OF OTHERS INCLUDING MYSELF. *TR
