I recently bought a used 03 infiniti g35 coupe, the first problem that I found is that when refueling the car shuts the gas pump nozzle off about every 20-30 and happens every time I refuel regardless of what gas station I go to. The second problem is the brakes it's happened to me twice in the last month, both times were driving slow around 5-10mph in the morning when it's cold regardless if I let my car warm up for a few minutes or start up and go.

Third brake LED lamp stops working and randomly comes back on. This also happens in almost every other g35 sedan I have seen to date.

My third brake light went out so I went to the dealer to purchase a replacement LED lamp. The price of the lamp was $185.00! The parts department said they are very difficult to replace as you have to remove both the trunk lining and rear seat to replace the LED lamp. The labor to replace the lamp is $200.00! I have since noticed that about one half of the infiniti g35 and g37 models I see on the road have their high mount third brake light inoperative. This is with out a doubt due to the extremely high cost and difficulty to replace what should be a simple replacement lamp.

Coming to a stop on an interstate exit ramp, the car slowed to about 25mph with normal braking at which time the brake stopped slowing the car. I pressed the petal on to the floor and the antilock brake mechanism stopped the car in about 150 feet. Just before stopping, the car lurched forwards a few times. I had not been repeatedly braking on the interstate: a cause of brake fluid boiling which has been offered as an explanation of this failure in other incidents with this and the 350z.

I had come to a complete stop at a crosswalk. My foot was firmly on the brake and the automatic transmission in drive. Suddenly the car jumped forward in small increments with a sound indicating that the ant-lock brakes were releasing and applying the brakes in rapid succession. I stood on the brakes and the car stopped only to repeat the problem once more while I was standing on the brakes. In all the car moved forward about a foot. There was a pedestrian in the crosswalk directly in front of my car at the time and a second round of this problem would have caused the car to hit the pedestrian.

Center mount/third brake light is completely out despite the attempts made to fix the LED's. Also had somehow caused my regular brake lights to go completely out. That seems to be repaired (faulty relay switch?), but since this was a safety issue I had asked infiniti to "goodwill" the repair cost ($221), but it was denied.

Consumer has experienced car a few events since early '10 of vehicle being reluctant to stop, even when brakes were applied down to the floor. The last event occurred today (9/18/11). Today's event was more scary than the previous events, in that the car accelerated far ahead of our destination and could have possibly hit another driver, if a driver had been present. The brakes are functioning properly and are not worn. At this point, I am gravely concerned about this malfunction, and it feels like I am at great risk of having an unavoidable accident.

The 3rd brake light on my 2003 infiniti g35 does not illuminate when pressing down the brake pedal. After reading many post this is a ongoing problem with these cars forcing safety issues as well as inspection problems. Measures needs to be enforced for a solution.
