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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE REPLACED THE FRONT DISCS BRAKES AND ROTORS AT 9,000 MILES, 14,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 26,000 MILES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FREQUENT NEED TO REPLACE THE PARTS BUT OFFERED NO EXPLANATION OR ASSISTANCE. UPDATED 01/09/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT PADAS AND ROTORS NEEDE TO BE REPLAVED IN A VERY SHORT TIME. UPDATED 01/10/13

THE THIRD LED BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. GOT PULLED OVER ON AUGUST 28TH BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAID MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. I GOT THE LIGHT TESTED AND THE CAR SHOP SAID THEY WOULD TEST THE LIGHT TO SEE IF IT WAS THE LIGHT ITSELF OR THERE IS A SHORT DUE TO WIRING. THE CAR SHOP SAID THE LIGHT WORKED SO THERE MUST BE A WIRING MALFUNCTION SOME WHERE IN THE CAR THAT MAKES THE LIGHT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

BRAKE CALIPERS HAVE FROZEN UP HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON FOUR OCCASIONS. THESE SAME INCIDENTS WERE REPAIRED ON 6/16/2008; 4/25/2009; 9/12/2011 AND WILL BE AGAIN ON MONDAY 10/22/2012. *TR THIS IS CLEARLY A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS FOR ANY INFINITI DRIVER, THE PASSENGERS AND CERTAINLY ANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE NHTSA LOOK INTO THE MATTER. THANK YOU.

CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 65MPH WHEN IT LOST POWER AND THE VDC, SLIP AND CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHTS ALL CAME ON THE CAR REGAIN POWER BUT AT LESS AMOUNT AND WAS HARD TO START. WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. AND WAS FOUND TO NEED A CAM POS SENSOR. IF THIS LOSS OF POWER HAPPEN WHEN PASSING ON A 2 LANE ROAD I MAY NOT BE WRITING THIS . THE 2003 MODELS HAD A RECALL I THINK THIS MODEL NEEDS ONE TO. THE COST WAS OVER 350.00. *TR

FIRST, ON 07/28/2012, AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, NOTICE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SORT OF STALLED (SAW THE TACHOMETER DROP COMPLETELY) FOR 1 SECOND AND RESUME OPERATION. CONTINUE DRIVING BUT THE SLIP, VDC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CONTINUED DRIVING THE CAR TO MY DESTINATION, WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM THIS INCIDENT. AFTER A WHILE, TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT TOOK A FEW TRIES AND FINALLY DID. DECIDED TO GO BACK HOME AND AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH (THANKS GOOD) THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF (THANKS GOD WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY (DON'T WANT TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH CARS COMING RIGHT BEHIND ME AT ABOUT 70). WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND CONTINUED DRIVING SLOW (ON THE STREETS) TO MY DESTINATION. THE CAR NOW STARTS OK AFTER A WHILE BUT SUDDENLY DIES. TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOW AND IT SHOWS A P0335 CODE (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). MY MECHANIC SAYS, VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CARS. ***SAME RECALL AS IN THE 2003 MODEL YEAR*** WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR, FOR SOME ONE TO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT FOR NISSAN'S FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM THAT WAS REPORTED IN THE 2003 MODELS??? I HOPE NOT. IF I HAD CHILDREN, I WOULD TRANSPORT THEM IN THIS VEHICLE, EVER!!! *TR
