Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS FAILED ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN, NON SPOILER MODEL AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. *TR
I NOTICED MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER INFINITI G35 COUPES WITH NON- FUNCTIONING 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RE-CALL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND LABOR CHARGE TO REPAIR. PLEASE INDUCE INFINITI TO REPLACE THESE LIGHTS AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. THANK YOU. *TR
I'M THE SECOND OWNER THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, AND ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM SOONER, THE 3RD LIGHT ON MY 2004 G35 DOES NOT WORK (MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE SPOILER). WHAT I DID WAS PURCHASE A USED 3RD LIGHT FROM A SALVAGE YARD....AND IT DID WORK (BRIEFLY), NOW IT'S NOT WORKING.....SO I'M BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS UNUSUAL, SO I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND MUCH TO SURPRISE CAME UP WITH MANY HITS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.......SINCE READING THE ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE 3RD LIGHT NOT FUNCTIONING I HAVE NOTICED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLES 3RD LIGHT ISSUE ON OTHER G35 ON THE ROAD, MORE THAN LIKELY THE OWNERS HAVE NOT NOTICED THE LIGHT NOT OPERATING.........THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE 3RD LIGHT IS TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS DRIVING BEHIND YOU.......IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I HOPE THE NHTSA AND INFINITI TAKES STEPS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
THIRD LIGHT FAILED AT APPROX 62800 MILES 5/24/2013 .THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION DUE TO IMPROPER WARNING TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. TO DATE INFINITI HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT.
REAR CENTER BRAKE LIGHT(LED) WORKS INTERMITTENTLY THEREBY NEARLY CAUSING REAR END COLLISION. CAR CAME INCHES FROM REAR ENDING ME. HAD TWO WARNINGS FROM LOCAL POLICE. *TR
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
THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IN SPOILER-LESS G35 SEDANS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE TO FAULT AFTER JUST A FEW YEARS. OVER 50 OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL EITHER STOP WORKING ENTIRELY OR ONLY WORK AT TIMES WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE. *TR
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
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. *TR
THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY INFINITI G35 HAS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $316 FOR THE PART AND $120 FOR THE PART. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE CAR AND I FEAR GETTING REAR ENDED AS CARS AND TRUCK BEHIND ME HAVE HAD TO BRAKE HARD AT TIMES. PLEASE REQUIRE INFINITI TO RECALL THIS AND REPAIR THESE FOR FREE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 AND I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. IT IS AN LED LIGHT AND HAS NOT EVEN LASTED AS LONG AS THE BULB-TYPE BREAK LIGHTS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *KB
INFINITI 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKING ON DURING COLD WEATHER AND OFF DURING WARM. *TR
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY-KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS, AND THAT INFINITI (NISSAN) HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT BUT HAS TAKEN NO ACTION TO ADDRESS IT. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION IN THE INTERESTS OF KEEPING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OTHER MOTORISTS SAFE.
THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN IS NOT FUNCTIONING. *TR
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T WORKING 100%, IT ONLY TURNS ON THE FIRST FEW MINUTES I USE MY BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER AWHILE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS USED, THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I'VE RECEIVED THE CAR AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT OPERATING AS A SAFE CAR WOULD HAVE IT OPERATING. MANY OF MY OTHER FELLOW INFINITI G35 OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO. WE WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO PUT OUT A RECALL AND HAVE IT FIXED TO INCREASE THE AUTOMOBILE OPERATORS SAFETY, AND TO ALSO ABIDE BY THE LAW WITH AN OPERATING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. *TR
