Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Center mount/third brake light is completely out despite the attempts made to fix the LED's. Also had somehow caused my regular brake lights to go completely out. That seems to be repaired (faulty relay switch?), but since this was a safety issue I had asked Infiniti to goodwill the repair cost ($221), but it was denied.”
NHTSA complaint #10467788, filed 2012-07, 181,458 miles“I recently bought a used 03 Infiniti G35 coupe, the first problem that I found is that when refueling the car shuts the gas pump nozzle off about every 20-30 and happens every time I refuel regardless of what gas station I go to. The second problem is the brakes it's happened to me twice in the last month, both times were driving slow around 5-10mph in the morning when it's cold regardless if I let my car warm up for a few minutes or start up and go.”
NHTSA complaint #10654199, filed 2014-11, 61,295 miles“Coming to a stop on an interstate exit ramp, the car slowed to about 25mph with normal braking at which time the brake stopped slowing the car. I pressed the petal on to the floor and the antilock brake mechanism stopped the car in about 150 feet. Just before stopping, the car lurched forwards a few times. I had not been repeatedly braking on the interstate: a cause of brake fluid boiling which has been offered as an explanation of this failure in other incidents with this and the 350z.”
NHTSA complaint #10486530, filed 2012-11, 107,000 miles“My 2003 G35 coupe have brake problem where the brake pads and rotor will wear out so quick. I have gone through 2 sets of pads and rotor within 40km. Richmond nissan refuse to fix it for me under warranty. I finally had to replace them myself at my own cost.”
NHTSA complaint #10283974, filed 2009-09, 40,000 miles“I own a 2003 Infiniti G35. The car is 7 months old with less than 10,000 miles on it. I was told by my dealership that I had no front brakes. I brought the car in because 3 lights were lighting up on my dash for a couple of days: the brake light, the slip light, and the vdc off light. I was shocked to learn that I didn't have any front brakes. To me, this is definitely a safety issue.”
