Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10547312, filed 2013-10, 39,400 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10482818, filed 2012-11, 136,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10664438, filed 2014-12, 100,000 miles“Center LED brake light fails. This almost caused 3 close call rear end accidents. I saw cars came close to hitting my car via rear view mirror. I went online and saw many complains of the same problem in regard to the Infiniti G35, the 03-05 models.”
NHTSA complaint #10370315, filed 2010-12, 87,000 miles“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.”
