Tonight I wanted to see if the same thing happens and on WOT, the brake light came on and stayed on for 3 seconds and went away. I was able to replicate it twice where only the brake light came on for 3 seconds and went away as I hit the 3rd gear. This time the SLIP and VDC lights did not come on at all, only the brake light and that was only for 3 seconds.

I really dont know wtf is going on.

I think you really need to check this out with the dealer, the VDC saves my A$$ many ‎times and I don’t want to wonder what would have happened if it was switched off hehe ‎‎:P

Safety is your first priority, i advice you to check it out and make sure it perfectly ‎functional.‎

Okay, This is starting to P!$$ me off.

This happened for the third time and the car is back at the service department. They have supposedly done everything and the problem has re-occurred everytime. I sent a nasty-gram to NNA and InfinitiUSA to see if this will help resolve my problem. I am also thinking of exercising the Lemon Law into this one. I haven't had the car for a year yet and it has been in service for a total of three months. I am tired of driving a watered down AWD G. Do any of you guys have any advice or experience with Really, resolving this issue? This is becoming a real inconvience for me. What else should I do?

Help!!!

Same thing happened to me.

Just driving down the highway as usual, not doing anything out of the usual. Then all the sudden VDC off, ABS, AWD, and slip all come on.

Turned off the car. they are still on. This was yesterday. they are also still on this morning on the way to work. Im guessing its some issue with a sensor or something that triggered all this at once. Car drives fine.

Checked out my brake fluid levels and its close to maximum. This is an 05 G35x with 30,000 miles on it.

Is this kinda stuff covered under standard warranty? What else can i do here (not a car genius) before i bring it into the dealership and drop my shorts....

This happened to me for the third time and it hasn't been a year yet. Infiniti service have my car and I also filed a complaint with Infiniti and NNA about the issues that I am having. Lemon Law is very posssible. in the near future for this G. I have had enough with driving the loaners around. It has been three months of driving the dealerships cars and making payments on mine which is in service.

i called a few infiniti dealers and they said they hear it twice a week and that its almost definately the brakes (pads, rotors (hopefully not rotors)...

The first time around they replaced the Rotors and Pads, front and rear. Before they even changed the pads I was not experiencing any Brake fade or any shuddering. After I recieved the car back I still didn't experience any brake problems, and the same thing happened two more times. What else could it be?? They tell me every time that they did everything that they possibly could do with the help of outside service tech specialists. What gives???

I did some donuts right before I got new tires and the lights came on, as well as a warning on my nav to check the VDC. Turned the car off and on and it was fine.

I understand that your problem is fixed but mine isn't. My car is at the dealership and they have been doing what ever it is to resolve my issues, but they have failed to do so. This is my third time taking it there. I also have a Lemon Law advantage according to my state. I am thinking of seriously following up with that depending on what ever the outcome is going to be this last time. I will be discussing this with an Infiniti SR specialist tomorrow.

Maybe you should ask them to switch out your brake switch too...

It could solve all your problems. I was skeptical at first but it works.

And trust me, i bag on my G35 all the time, I am quite unimpressed with the stupid little problems i get with this dumb car. I had less issues in my 300C than this thing.

Well same happends to me today after a steering wheel replacement. Just SLIP and VDC OFF. I drove to my work. I start the car again and is gone. That's normal after a wheel replacement. Considering that the car was without battery for an hour.
