EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HIGH MOUNT "THIRD" BRAKE LIGHT ON INFINITI G35 (03 TO ?) SEEM TO BE GOING OUT FREQUENTLY RESULTING IN VERY VERY COSTLY REPAIRS CONSIDERING ITS ONLY A LIGHT. THE DESIGN REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE SEAT COSTING $500+. A SIMPLE, SAFELY RELATED PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE SO DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS AND INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POOR DESIGN OF A SAFETY RELATED SYSTEM AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

THE DISPLAY ON MY RADIO STARTED TO GO OUT AND MADE IT SO I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE RADIO AND THE AC/HEATER. IT WENT OFF AND ON RANDOMLY FOR THE PAST YEAR, NOW MY RADIO IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND STILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY A/C CONTROLS SO IT BLOWS AT MY FEET. NOW THAT TEMP. OUTSIDE IS GETTING INTO THE 30'S, AND I NEED MY DEFROST TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD BUT CAN'T CONTROL IT... *TR

THE AUDIO/CLIMATE CONTROLS ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 STOPPED WORKING WHILE MY AC GOES ON FULL BLAST. CAN'T TURN IT OFF. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF MY RADIO. CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE RADIO ($900), THE CIRCUIT BOARD ($900) OR BOTH ($1800) PLUS TAX. AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE DIAGNOSTICS FEE THEY WILL CHARGE. INFINITI SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, IT'S JUST LIKE A BULB GOING OUT. WHAT A RIPOFF. . *TR

2003 G35 SEDAN, 3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK, IT'S BEEN OFF WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS NOT FIXED. I SEE MANY OTHER G35'S ON THE ROAD WITHOUT THEIR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, I THINK IT'S VERY MUCH A SAFETY PROBLEM. THERE'S ALSO NO WAY TO KNOW IF YOUR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT OR NOT, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOWING YOU OR LOOKING AT YOU. *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN NOTICING MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. IF I HAD TO SAY IT PROBABLY WORKS 4 OUT OF 10 TIMES YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA IT IS MANDATORY TO HAVE 3 BRAKE LIGHTS. RIGHT NOW, I HAVE 2 WORKING ONES AND 1 THAT IS UNDECIDED WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN HANDY RIGHT NOW, AS I AM AT WORK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INFINITI ISSUED A TSB ABOUT AN AUDIO FINISHER CIRCUIT POTENTIALLY FAILING. MEANWHILE THEY DID NO RECALL OR NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS. THE CIRCUIT CONTROLS ALL THE HVAC AND RADIO CONTROL. MEANING, WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS, YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO USE THE DEFROSTER TO DEFOG THE WINDOW. NO CONTROL CAN BE HAD OF THE SYSTEM. IT TURNS ON THE AC AUTOMATICALLY AND DISABLES ALL CONTROLS. *TR

PER G35 SEDAN RECALL MY '...AUDIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS MAY, ON OCCASION, NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED....". MY EQUIPMENT FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE G35 SEDAN BUT NOT THE G35 COUPE. THE MFG'R. STATES THAT COUPE IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY G35 HAS/HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED MY CIRCUIT BOARD AT A COST OF $649.88 (PARTS AND LABOR). I BELIEVE THE G35 COUPE SHOULD HAVE SAME RECALL AS THE G35 SEDAN. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT INSIDE OF CAR STOPS WORKING PREMATURELY. NO WING ON MY CAR. JUST INTERIOR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. IT IS LED SO IT SHOULD LAST FOR DECADES. IT MAKES IT HARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES ON MY CAR. I BOUGHT AN ORIGINAL FACTORY REPLACEMENT PART FOR ABOUT $200. OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR

03-06 INFINITI G35 SEDANS HAVE ISSUES REGARDING THE REAR, CENTER HIGH-MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT. THE UNITS ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE LED FAILURE, AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE UNIT NOT WORKING AT ALL, OR WORKING ONLY INFREQUENTLY DUE TO SOME SORT OF WIRING OR CIRCUIT BOARD ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS ISSUE EXIST ON MY OWN CAR (2003 G35 SEDAN) BUT I HAVE WITNESSED THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER G35 SEDANS. BECAUSE THIS ISSUE COMES AND GOES, AND THE LIGHT MAY STOP WORKING AND THEN START AGAIN RANDOMLY, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO BE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE ON THEIR VEHICLE. THIS IS ALSO VERY MUCH A SAFETY CONCERN, AS IT INCREASES THE CHANCE THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHING FROM THE REAR WILL NOT NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WITHOUT THE CENTER LIGHT, RESULTING IN A GREATER CHANCE OF COLLISIONS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE INFINITI G35 AND HAVE HAD THE SAME CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO/AC/DEFROST /FAN CONTROLS. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2003 THAT WAS NOT MANDATORY BUT STATED DEALERSHIPS SHOULD REPLACE THESE CIRCUIT BOARD UNITS AS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE DEALER SHIP..INSKIP- WARWICK RI - CLAIMS MY CAR DOES NOT MEET THE PROBLEM AND IT IS MY RADIO THAT NEEDS REPLACING FOR $900 EVEN THOUGH MY RADIO WORKS THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN AND I CAN CONTROL SOUND, MODES AND STATIONS. HOW CAN IT BE THAT IT IS THE RADIO AND NOT THE CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH THEY ADMIT IS AN ISSUE IN OTHER G35'S. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE, INFINITI HAS SENT RECALL REGARDING THIS, THE DEALERSHIP ADMITS THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH BOARDS AND YET THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THESE UNITS....I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL DEFROSTING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED TO GET SOME ACTION. *TR

1. ONE DAY JUST STOPS WORKING, OR INTERMITTENTLY FUNCTIONING. 2. 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, IT ETHER CAN BE TOTALLY DEAD OR INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT. 3. REPLACEMENT OF TOTALLY NEW LED STRIP , REPLACING IT WITH OEM WILL CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR WITH TIME. DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRONICS WHICH PREMATURELY FAIL IF YOU LOOK AT ANY 03/04 MODEL G35 THEIR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS MOST LIKELY OUT. 05/06 ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I MYSELF HAVE A 2005 G35 AND THE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT OF THE INFINITI G35. IN 90% OF 2003-2004 CARS, THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN TO OCCUR. A NON-FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. LATER MODEL YEARS DO NOT SUFFER AS MUCH FROM THIS ISSUE. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. THE G35 HAS A FANCY AND EXPENSIVE LED SYSTEM. A SPECIFIC DIODE IS KNOWN TO GO BAD, WHICH MAKES THIS MORE OF A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR
