Description of the problem | The 3rd brake light (the one in the back windshield) comes on and off intermittently. It will go out while im braking or sometimes its really dim. I don't know what the issue is. I am constantly paranoid about the brake lights since that is the only one i can actually see while driving. I catch myself braking if i pass a sign so i can see the reflection to verify that the other brake lights are working. It is a safety issue and it worries me. I don't have $$ to repair something that sometimes works and no one seems to know what the issue is. If it works sometimes, its not a fuse and i don't think its electrical b/c there is no pattern/rhythm to when the brake light may go out. With electric, it's either connected or its not. It doesn't come on from time to time. If this is a known error, according to several websites, then infiniti should recall the brake light and fix it. Infiniti is a luxury vehicle and having an intermittent brake light is not something that an owner should have to contend with. That is not a maintenance or mechanical repair. It sounds like a faulty system. *js |
