| 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 | |||

| While driving our 2004 infinity g35 on the fwy going about 40 mph (the ground was wet) we felt the track control started to shift side to side, a truck cut in fron us us, which made my husband put on brakes, as he putted on brakes, the driver side front brake locked, which caused for the card to turn sideways and hit the center divider full speed. the brakes after they locked, never stopped the car, the only thing that stopped us was the center divider. the airbags never pop, as we hit the wall going 40 miles per hours. i have taken the car to the dealer recently and had the brakes changed (2 times in 11 months) and the last tme i tood the car i informed the dealer that the brakes felt hard, and they were hard to stop they stated that the brakes will get better with use, and that's how it usually felt after the brakes were changed. the car did not drive the same, the traction was not working, the brakes locked and to top it all the bags did not deployed after impact.*ak | |||

| We have had on going brake problems with this vehicle. it started immediately. grinding noise in rear brakes. we had to replace after just one month. since then we have replaced the front brakes and rotors twice and rear brakes one other time. this is ridiculous when you consider this car is only barely three years old and has just 29,000 miles on it. *tr | |||

| Front brakes and rotors needed replacement at 24,744 miles and again at 44,875. when i called the dealer the first time replacement was needed, they quoted me almost $600 to do the job. they did not inform me that in late 2003 nissan acknowledged a brake defect and extended the warranty to cover replacement of brakes and rotors under 36,00 miles. i found out recently that i should not have had to pay for the first replacement. the dealer refuses to reimburse my expenses since i had the work done at my local garege for a lower price than they quoted me. *jb | |||

| I leased a 2004 infiniti g-35 coupe and after approximately 36,000 miles, the car started smelling hot and would violently vibrate when driving. the closest infiniti dealer is approximately 40 miles away so i took the car to goodyear and they installed new brake pads on the front tires. less than 30 days later, the problems still persisted and i took the car back to goodyear and they installed new rotors and brake pads on the rear wheels. this did not fix the problems and 30 days later, i took the car back to goodyear and both the front and rear brake pads were totally worn down. they said i had a problem with the brake system, possibly the calipers, and suggested i take the car to the infiniti dealer. i took the car to crest infiniti in plano, texas and they said the brake fluid had been contaminated. they sent a sample to a testing lab but no test was done because the alleged contaminant was so small it could not be measured. crest infinity refused to repair the brakes under warranty. i immediately too the car to grubbs infiniti in euless, texas and they also decided to test the brake fluid. after three weeks the test revealed no contaminate in the brake fluid but grubbs said that since the brakes had been worked on by goodyear, the warranty was voided. i have checked the internet and found hundreds of complaints about brakes on the infiniti g-35. class action lawsuit's have been filed in both california and florida. i found many postings with the exact same problems that i am experiencing. infiniti refuses to admit that a problem exists and refuses to repair vehicles, including mine, under warranty. the problem has nothing to do with brake pads. there is a problem in the braking system that causes the brakes to be applied when driving the car resulting in excessive heat and excessive wear. this is a serious problem and infiniti is ducking the issue and refusing to issue a recall to repair this serious defect under warranty. *nm | |||

| The foot brake depresses lower than the accelerator thus causing the motor to accelerate when applying the break. when breaking in an emergency, the side of my shoe caught the accelerator causing the motor to rev up and pushed our car into the vehicle infront of us. fortunately, we were going slow enough by this time and only the front bumper was damaged. no injuries incurred. *tr | |||

| My 2004 g35x sedan has 28k miles on it and i'm on my 3rd set of brakes. (90% of my driving is highway with little braking). the dealer advised me infinity knows about the problem and extended the warranty to 36k miles and that's all they would do. after just 100 miles of driving with new pads the wheels are blackened with brake dust. my last set of front pads lasted only 10k miles. *jb | |||

| I own a 2004 infiniti g35 coupe 6mt with a problem with a front wheel rotor. one of the eight rotor surfaces is not with-in spec as with the other seven surfaces, and needs to be replaced as per infiniti techs.i have the model that utilizes brembo brakes and the tech and infiniti usa said that there was a recall for the non-brembo brakes and that the repair was my responsibility since it was a wear and tear situation.as i mentioned before. all but one rotor surface, and all brake pads were up to spec. my question is this. is there any addendum to include the brembo brake system to the recall and if not is there anything you could suggest that i could do? thank you for your time. *ak sincerely, dr. leslie klein | |||
