THE COMPLETE CONSOLE LIGHTING HAS GONE OUT IN MY CAR. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE OFF. NOT ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING DAYLIGHT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER. VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE.

VEHICLE MOMENTARILY LOST POWER AND DASH INSTRUMENT LIGHTS WENT ON (SLIP, VDC OFF, SERVICE ENGINE SOON). THE IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE) WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER IN DECEMBER 2011 FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR.

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!

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. *TR

THE REAR SHELF BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS AN LED LIGHT THAT SHOULD LAST A QUITE A BIT LONGER IF NOT LIFETIME. OBVIOUSLY, THE CAR WAS DESIGNED SO THIS PART DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED. TO REPLACE THIS LIGHT, THE ENTIRE BACK SEAT AND REAR SHELF TRIM AND BACK SIDE TRIM MUST BE REMOVED. THE LIGHT ITSELF COSTS $150.00 …

THE REAR SHELF BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS AN LED LIGHT THAT SHOULD LAST A QUITE A BIT LONGER IF NOT LIFETIME. OBVIOUSLY, THE CAR WAS DESIGNED SO THIS PART DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED. TO REPLACE THIS LIGHT, THE ENTIRE BACK SEAT AND REAR SHELF TRIM AND BACK SIDE TRIM MUST BE REMOVED. THE LIGHT ITSELF COSTS $150.00 AND THE DEALER CHARGES $500.00 TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS 2003 G35S WITH THE NON FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT, MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CLEARLY A PRODUCT DEFECT. *TR

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. *TR

THE 3RD LOCATION BRAKE LIGHT IN THE REAR DECK AREA QUIT WORKING, AND THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO GET TO IT AND REPAIR IT. IT IS A LED UNIT, AND IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS DESIGNED AND INSTALLED TO NEVER FAIL, BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO. *JS

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S).

Dec 12, 2002
CERTAIN SEDANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEADLAMPS, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A MEANS TO ADJUST THE HEADLAMPS. TAMPERPROOF CAPS TO PREVENT HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADLAMPS ARE THEN INSTALLED. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE MISSING THE TAMPERPROOF CAPS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE MISSING TAMPERPROOF CAPS ON THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
Sep 12, 2002
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FUEL HOSE CONNECTION FOR THE OUTLET OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ATTACHED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AND COULD COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE.

IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTERNAL IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, PROPERLY ATTACH THE FUEL HOSE TO THE FUEL PUMP. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN OCTOBER 7, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
