| I too have had my center brake light to out intermittently in the past few months. i have not yet taken it in to be checked, but plan to do so in the next week. | |||

| Center brake light in the rear window fails to work at different times since 2009. this light is very expensive to replace/repair and is a very common problem on the 2003-2006 infiniti g35 sedan, i have replaced it two times in my 4 years of ownership! i have almost been rear ended on numerous occasions that i cannot seem to count on 2 hands. this part is a safety risk as it is out a majority of the time! i replace it once due to failure of passing a massachusetts inspection sticker test, and yet again it is out/working intermittently. | |||

| The third (high mount) brake light is inoperative on my 2005 infiniti g35 sedan. no individual event lead to this occurrence. without reading other owner's complaints online, i would not have checked mine. when checked, mine too was inoperative. after monitoring, this is not a sporadic issue, it is inoperative at all times. to date, i have not suffered any direct consequences, but i am now concerned i run a higher risk of being rear ended by another driver. even though this appears to effect a large majority of g35 owners, infiniti will not repair this issue because my car is out of warranty. repair cost is nearly $500.00, but infiniti has not updated the part, so i fear another failure would be imminent. however, for personal safety i have no choice. | |||

| Rear window brake light malfunction, this is a known and repeatable issue with many g35 sedans years 2003-2006. the rear window brake light stops working intermittently, or works in varying degrees of brightness, with no consistency, rhyme or reason. unable to get the light to remain on consistently, and given the feedback in online forums, etc - this is an apparent problem with the light installation, etc. | |||

| I have a 2005 infiniti g35 sedan with a rear window third brake started to not work correctly. the issue started sometime around 75,000 miles where the brake light would only be dim with two of the leds not working at all and sometimes the brake light would entirely not turn on. now at 98,000 miles, the issue is getting worse with the light not turning on 90% of the time. i have not tried to fix the problem myself due to the results others have been talking about on the www.g35driver.com forum. i was quoted a high price to replace the third brake light and it was with a part not identical to the original. there should be a recall on this issue due to the safety addition the light is made for. there are strict laws in california regarding the operation of the third brake light working and now hoping that i do not get pulled over due to this issue. | |||
