THE HIGH MOUNT THIRD STOP LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY ON MY 2006 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I AM CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF HER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, AS THIS IS A SAFETY LIGHT THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL. AFTER THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER INFINITI CARS ON THE ROAD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. *TR
MY SEDAN'S THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TESTED THE WIRING AND THE LIGHT ALWAYS HAS POWER, BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESN'T LIGHT UP. *TR
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. NO RHYME OR REASON WHY IT'S NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AS WHEN IT DOES WORK, ALL THE LIGHTS SHINE AT FULL BRIGHTNESS. NO ACCIDENTS, NO ELECTRICAL FAULTS, IT JUST RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING 100% OF THE TIME. *TR

CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE "VERTICAL GRADIENT" AND "HEADLAMP PHOTOMETRIC VALUES" REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.'
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE CRASHES, INJURIES AND DEATHS BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY, AND BY ENHANCING THE CONSPICUITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PUBLIC ROADS SO THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS PERCEIVED AND THEIR SIGNALS UNDERSTOOD, BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND IN DARKNESS OR OTHER CONDITIONS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 16, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
