| 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 | |||

| 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 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. | |||

| 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 headlight housing that separates the low beam from the high beam is currently cracked, have seen 20 other cars with the same problem on the 03-05 coupe's it is a quality problem and needs to be resolved by dealer weather within or out of the warranty, nothing has been done to fix this matter the dealerships that i have went to and i even called the corporate of infiniti on this matter and they do not want to fess up on their poor quality headlights. i would like to see all of our lights get replaced with the new projector lights since they are obviously a better quality then the non projector lights that the 03-05 coupes came with. *jb | |||
