Consumer Description

HMSL (THIRD BRAKE LIGHT) IS COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. ONE LED HAD BEEN OUT FOR TWO YEARS, THEN THE ENTIRE UNIT FAILED. INFINITI DEALERS SELL THE REPLACEMENT UNIT FOR OVER $200, PLUS THAT SUM IN LABOR FOR THE DEALER. THIS IS A COMMON UNIT FAILURE IN THE G35 MODELS, ACCORDING TO INTERNET SEARCHES AND OBSERVATION OF NUMEROUS VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS REMAINED UNADDRESSED FOR YEARS. *TR
