14 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2011

I own a 2006 Infiniti G35 and just learned that my center high mount stop light works intermittently. I have begun to research this and discovered that the problem is very common among cars similar to mine. I know the third brake light was working recently and I have seen it illuminate recently but not always. This concerns me for the safety and repair problems, and for the fact that it seems to be a widespread problem with these cars. I think there should be a factory recall issued for this safety equipment.

Common complaint on internet forums and commonly seen on road. Expensive to repair and required for inspection and safety which is why it's a frequently complained about issue.
