PLEASE INVESTIGATE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON SEATS SEATS JAM AND CAN BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION

DRIVER SIDE LEATHER SEAT IS TOTALLY CRACKED. DEALER SAID THAT HE'S NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND NO OTHER CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, I'VE CHECKED INFINITI FORUMS FOR SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS AND GENERAL HELP. I HAVE NOTICED THIS REPORTED A LOT BUT NOTHING IS EVER DONE. NOW I CAN SEE COMPLAINTS HERE WHEN I WENT TO LOOK FOR MY AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. MY CAR IS ON THE AIRBAG LIST, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THESE SEATS ARE AN ISSUE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN HANDLED. THE DEALER WAS NOT TRUTHFUL AND IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME NOW. NONE OF THE OTHER SEATS IN THIS CAR, OR MY OTHER TWO CARS HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

THE FRONT SIDE RAILS OF THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE HAVE CORRODED (RUSTED) FROM THE INSIDE AND HAVE PERFORATED THE EXTERIOR OF THE MEMBERS EXPOSING THEM TO FURTHER DAMAGE. IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE RISK OF THE MEMBERS COLLAPSING AND POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE IS SEVERELY DETERIORATING. 99% OF THE DASHBOARD IS HAS BEGAN TO MELT AND DEVELOPED MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE AIR BUBBLES. WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUTSIDE THE BUBBLES CREATE A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING DRIVING DISTRACTION. FROM RESEARCHING THIS MATTER, THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMER WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.*DT*JB *TR

ALWAYS SLIP VDS ON

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF MUSKOGEE LOCATED AT 841 N MAIN ST, MUSKOGEE, OK 74401, (888) 532-5718) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS TAKEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

THE FUEL GUAGE GIVES A FAULTY READING. I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK, AND THE GUAGE WILL READ BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND EMPTY, EVEN PROMPTING THE RED 'LOW FUEL' INDICATOR LIGHTT TO ILLUMINATE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS ALWAYS WRONG. SINCE I FIRST HAD IT, THE BEHAVIOR OF THIS COMPONENT HAS NEVER SHOWN FULL, AND SHOWS EMPTY FAR TOO EARLY, OFTEN 6-8 GALLONS BEFORE THE TANK IS OUT. I LOOKED UP MY RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS, WHICH THIS CAR HAS, AND I NOTICED A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE. I SEARCHED INFINITI FORUMS AND FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WITH RECOMMENDED FIXES. I CLEANED THE PARTS, AND IT IMPROVED, BUT NOW THE GAUGE IS OFF AGAIN, AND THIS ISN'T SAFE, SINCE I CANNOT TRUST WHEN I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. I ALSO WONDER ABOUT MY ODOMETER AND WHAT ITS READING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE INDICATORS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI FX35. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V349000 (AIR BAGS).

CERRITOS AUTO SQUARE (18827 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 924-1661) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WELL I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE RECALL SINCE MAY 24, 2016. WHEN I CONTACTED INFINITY THEY TELL ME NO. PLEASE HELP. RIGHT NOW IT FLASHING

2004 FX35- BLACK SMOKE COMES FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY. I HAVE SHOWN THE DEALERSHIP VIDEO OF THIS AND YET THEY STILL ARE RELUCTANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY GAS MILEAGE IS FAR LESS THAT THE EPA ESTIMATES. THE TRANSFER CASE HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN ONE YEAR. *NM

I HAVE HAD MY FX 35 FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND FOR THE MOST PART HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH IT. EXCEPT, WHEN IT COMES TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. BASED ON THE RESEARCH I DONE, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE BRAKES PRODUCE A PIERCING SQUEAL AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THEY ARE LIGHTLY APPLIED. I'VE SPENT CLOSE TO $1,000 IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITHOUT SUCCESS. I'VE HAD BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED WITH FACTORY-BRAND PARTS AND THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAY "IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF THEM" AND THAT "THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO". HOW CAN THIS NOT BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL? THIS IS PRECISELY WHY I CHOSE TO SPEND MY $50,000 FOR MY LATEST CAR PURCHASE AT A MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER! AFTER SPENDING OVER $40,000 ON A "LUXURY" BRAND AUTOMOBILE, I EXPECTED MORE... A LOT MORE. INFINITI PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI FX35. WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY WOULD NOT ENGAGE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE PREVIOUS REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID HAD CREATED A BUBBLE IN THE LINE AND WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERS WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY COMPUTER AND WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FOURTH TIME AFTER THE COMPUTER WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

I STARTED MY CAR UP ON THE MORNING OF 6/1/12 AND I NOTICE IT WAS SHAKING. I DROVE IT AROUND THE CORNER AND SHAKING GOT WORST AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PARKED THE CAR. CALLED INFINITY DISCUSSED PROBLEM AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THE SAMEDAY. TODAY I GET A CALL FROM THE SERVICES DEPT AND I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MISS FIRE AND OIL BUILD UP, AND IT WAS UNREPAIRABLE. AND I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES. IN 2011 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MY CAR WAS REPORTED THAT IS WAS MY COOLING SYSTEM. IT WAS REPAIRED. NOTHING WAS REPORTED THAT IS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. I FAXED THE SERVICES DEPT RECORDS FROM SEARS OF OIL CHANGES. I WENT TO SEVERAL OTHER PLACES SINCE 2004. BUT I HAVE NO RECORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI FX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING ABNORMALLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE OIL WIRES THAT CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE HAD BURNED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76000.

MY DAUGHTER DROVE HOME FROM COLLEGE AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. IT WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. IF FACE NONE OF THE DOORS WOULD OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. SHE ROLLED TOWN THE WINDOW AND CLIMBED OUT. WE TOOK THE AUTO TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE.. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT BUT ALAS $ 2,600 DOLLARS LATER WE LEARNED THAT WE MUST PAY FOR THE DEFECT. I CONTACTED INFINITI SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, ETC BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT EXIT THE AUTO NOR COULD ANYONE ELSE OPEN THE DOORS. *TR

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ARE SHOT AFTER ONLY 40000 MILES. MAJOR HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI FX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE OPERATED DUE TO CORRODED REAR CONTROL ARMS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

HAD CAR CHECKED BY MECHANIC WHO SAID WHEN CHECKING UNDER THE CAR, HE FOUND IT RUSTED TO THE POINT WHICH IT COULD BECOME UNSAFE. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR RECALLS. FOUND RECALLS FOR NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND INFINITI I30. NOT THE FX. HOWEVER THERE WERE MANY FORUMS OF OTHER FX35 OWNERS WHO ALSO CLAIMED THEIR CARS HAD RUSTED UNDER THE CAR. MY CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR. IT IS IN NEW ENGLAND, BUT MY DRIVEWAY IS HOT TOPPED AND ALWAYS CLEANED TO THE BARE PAVEMENT. I DO NOT USE ROCK SALT. I ALSO LIVE AND WORK IN MY HOME, SO I AM NOT ON THE ROAD A LOT. I AM PASSED THE TIME ON THE WARRANTY, BUT MY MILEAGE IS LOW. SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT INFINITI, BUT SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE IT FIXED UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL. NISSAN HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CARS, AND STANDS TO REASON THAT IT COULD ALSO APPLY TO THIS MODEL. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE? THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR. THANK YOU. *TR
