“Recently I have been noticing my 3rd brake light works when it wants to. If I had to say it probably works 4 out of 10 times you hit the brake pedal. This is an extremely very important issue. State of pennsylvania it is mandatory to have 3 brake lights. Right now, I have 2 working ones and 1 that is undecided when it wants to work. I do not have the VIN handy right now, as I am at work.”

NHTSA complaint #10611066, filed 2014-07, 113,000 miles“The brakes on my wife's 2005 G35 Infiniti are dangerous. My wife has had two front brake repairs in the year (and less than 15,000 miles) she has owned the car. When she brought it in this time, they told her the rotor was on the brink of failure. In my opinion, after less than 8000 miles since the last brake job, the brakes should not be on the brink of catastrophic failure. Their response is that is normal brake wear for that car.”
NHTSA complaint #10170506, filed 2006-10, 8,000 miles“The slip light flashed when coasting at about 7-10 MPH. The slip light is a function of the ABS system. This occurred as soon as I drove it off of the dealers lot, and it was my first time driving. This vehicle (internet order, so I didn't have a chance to drive this exact vehicle before I purchased the car). As the slip light flashes, I hear the grinding noise of what appears to be the ABS system engaging. I took it into the dealership and for 4 days, they could not figure out the problem. After the 4th day, they replaced the speed sensor in the right rear wheel. …”
NHTSA complaint #10114508, filed 2005-03, 15 miles“Brand new 2005 Infiniti g35x, 5 days old. Driving with my son and a passenger up a hill approx 60 MPH, entered turn saw a truck, went to apply breaks but they did not work. I turned the vehicle so as to not hit the truck direct and cause less damage. The driver of the other vehicle did not hear the breaks, my son nor his friend felt the vehicle try to stop. Result is $2500 in body damage to my car. The dealer states nothing is wrong and that it is my fault. Infiniti has opened a case but will not have an inspector available until october 24th. 6 weeks from incident.”
