I was entering onto the highway and my entire defrost / AC / radio cluster failed. The AC came on full blast, replacing the defrost!!! I had to pull over and park the car due to the safety factor of not being able to run my defrost. The issue is the AC, defrost, and radio stack controls stop working. There is no way to get them to work once the problem occurs. There has been a recall on this for g35''s built in 2002 for the 2003 model year. My g35 was built in 2002 but when I called infiniti they said my ''engine is the wrong model'' infiniti needs to fix this thru recall as this is a major safety issue concerning the defrost. I can only imagine if my 17 year old daughter had been driving and the defrost went out. I could have been a very rich man at the expense of my daughters life. I have read where thousands of g35 owners are having the same issue. I don''t think any daughters life is worth the price to fix this already well documented issue. Infiniti needs to step to the plate. They already know of the issue but have turned a blind eye. I envision infiniti getting blasted by law suits because this will kill someone. When that happens, infiniti will not have a leg to stand on. The issue is too well documented for infiniti to say they didn't know.

Im currently having trouble with my center console losing power to my AC and radio. The problems range from center console display shortages, AC blasting at full strength and being unable to change the setting, to the radio intermittently putting out sound. This problem has LED to safety issues with the car in that the inability to control the AC results in fogged over windshields leading to poor visibility. I've read online that this problem affects many owners of the same car. It was such a problem that infiniti recalled the '03 g35 sedan for the exact same problems. It is embarrassing that inifiniti does not stand by their product across the board. If they acknowledged that it was a problem in the sedan why are they not responsible for fixing the same problem in the two door model. Would like to know how this problem may be remedied.

Led third brake light fails to light. Apparently this is a very common issue with the 2003- 2004 g35 and is caused by a faulty chip. An aftermarket company is repairing the brake light boards as infiniti is charging over $400 for the repair and denies it is a problem. Here is a link to about 50 people so far that have reported this issue. Http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sedan-v35-2003-06/356572-group-effort-push-3rd-brake-light-recall-read-if-yours-out.html.

The third brake light on the rear window deck fails to work intermittently creating a situation where vehicles following may not realize that our vehicle is braking. This creates a concern for my safety as well as my childrens safety. This is a very frequent problem with infiniti vehicles of this make but infiniti will not acknowledge the problem.

Third brake light out or intermittent.

Filed Apr 7, 2011 · Lights · 00

My g35 and many other g35 owners all seem to have problems with our rear high mount brake light (third brake light inside the back windshield). If that many people are having problems with it, there should be a recall to fix this issue. I've heard even replacement bulbs go out very quickly, similar to the power window motors that always fail even after replacement. This could be very dangerous, especially if the owner of the car is not aware his light went out. Also more costly than it should be.

3rd brake light was out causing failed state inspection. Once I researched the problem, it was learned that many similar vehicles had the same issue. I was not aware of the issue since the light is behind the rear glass of the vehicle, so I do not know how long I was driving around without a rear brake light causing a safety hazard.

Third brake light intermittently works, no prior accidents, tried changing the bulb, checking fuse/wiring, problem still exists.

Third brake light in my 2003 infiniti g35 is no good . Im scared I can get into a accident because of it, I feel nissan/infiniti should recall this problem. I am a member of a online infiniti forum and several people have the same problem with this same car model and year.

Third brake light is out and will not work on this vehicle. The old part is still available.

The third brake light on my car works intermittently. This is the brake light that resides on the rear accessory package on the inside of the cars along with the speakers. The lights are not replaceable in this unit because they are LED and have notice many other g35 with the same problem and its an outrageous 125 dollar replacement for something that should last indefinitely since they are leds.

The third brake light (in the rear window) of the 2003 g35 sedan went out recently. At first, only half of the six were out, but then all of them went out. I've repaired it by ordering replacement leds for the light and installing those on the board.

This is in regards to an ongoing problem with infiniti g35 coupe's and sedans. Many g35 owners all over the country including my hometown arizona, have had many problems with their third brake light (in the rear view window) not displaying when the brake is engaged. There have been many complaints to the manufacture but nothing has been done. I figured this is a step for not just other owners to realize the problem but to have it announced nation wide so we are not at fault for the faulty product. We don't want to be pulled over for not having a non working third brake like or even cause a crash due to someone not seeing a brake light in the center. As a owner of infiniti g35 coupe there has been many components that need addressing to but there is only so much that the owners are able to do. I write you this in order to have another word that is higher up the just an average joe owner complaining about there product. This is a faulty part that us as owners should not be a fault for in any means. I hope that this helps in the sense of getting the issue resolved and having the roads safe knowing there is a third brake light engaging and lighting up for other drivers to see. Thanks

2003 infiniti g35 coupe third brake light failure - replaced twice and still failing within a year. $235 replacement part plus labor is bleeding me dry for a part I need to stay legal and safe. Infiniti does not care that they have manufactured a defective part made with leds which should last significantly longer than halogen bulbs but does not.

2003 infiniti g35 coupe 3rd brake light is out (inside glass). This is a common issue with the g35. It needs to be brought to nissan of america's attention. This could possibly cause an accident. I have seen that 28 people have filed a complaint to you on my car forum. But I feel that this issue needs to be addressed asap. If it were just one car with the issue then I would gladly pay for it, but since this is a common issue, nissan of america needs to fix this as it was a production issue.

My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan has a malfunctioning 3rd brake light. The light has stopped working on my car a few months ago. When I informed the dealership, I was told that they could fix it for a fee. I have spoken with many owners of this car on forums and in person, and many complain of the same problem. The 3rd brake light works intermittently or not at all. I think this is a manufacturer defect but infiniti does not agree. My model does not have a spoiler. This is a safety issue and many owners I spoke with feel this is not something that they should pay for.

My 2003 infiniti g35 sedan's brake back light does not work so I am always so paranoid that someone will rear-end me (that happened once) because they could not see my third brake light. This is a major safety concern and infiniti fails to recognize that this is a faulty problem on their side.

I own a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan and the rear (third) brake light, which is LED has an intermittent flicker to the point that it does not even function at times. I can only notice this at night time (when the reflection of the rear window is more visible) so I can only assume that it does it all the time.

2003 infiniti g35 sedan rear "3rd" brake light in rear window inop multiple times. Repeat problem known of multiple similar infiniti g35 sedans. Has happened twice to one mentioned above. Resulting in non-proper brake lighting.

High mount "third" brake light on infiniti g35 (03 to ?) seem to be going out frequently resulting in very very costly repairs considering its only a light. The design requires removal of the seat costing $500+. A simple, safely related problem should not be so difficult to address and infiniti should be responsible for the poor design of a safety related system and pay for the repairs.

2003 g35 sedan central console A/C, selected lights, and audio controls stopped working suddenly. Cannot control heat/defrost/air conditioning. Caused windows to fog up quickly impairing visual field while driving on highway. This is very hazardous because of its unexpected and unpredictable onset.

2003 g35 sedan, 3rd brake light does not work, it's been off when it was under warranty. It was not fixed. I see many other g35's on the road without their 3rd brake light, I think it's very much a safety problem. There's also no way to know if your 3rd brake light is out or not, unless you have someone following you or looking at you.
