• Recall 2020003 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag inflator. The passenger-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2017023 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2006194 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of cmvss 108 - headlamp vertical gradient. Correction: dealers will install new compliant headlamp assemblies.

• Recall 2006377 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of cmvss 108 - lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. The stop, tail, and turn signal lamp function may be too dim when viewed at certain angles. Reduced visibility increases the risk of the vehicle being involved in a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the rear combination lamps.

• Recall 2005376 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the fuel filler hose may crack from exposure to ozone. This could cause fuel leakage from the hose while refuelling and the malfunction indicator light (mil) to illuminate as a result of the onboard diagnostic system detecting a leak in the evaporative emission control system. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: dealers will replace the fuel filler hose.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

• Air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20150224

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe14-016 in june 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in florida or puerto rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of pe14-016, odi determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at odis insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included florida, puerto rico, hawaii, and the u.S. Virgin islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to takata for testing.Takatas initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from florida.Accordingly odi requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the gulf states and other coastal areas.Takatas testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During pe14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during pe14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically california and north carolina.Accordingly, odi requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.Odis investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

I changed the camshaft sensor because it gave me an error code since my car was taking too long to turn over. Than the slip and vfc off light came on and my car would jerk and the brake light would come on and it would just stop completely. Than i changed a coil and the oil. Now the oil is completely empty within 2 weeks. And i'm constantly putting gas and it's like the gage doesn't work. Because sometimes it's completely full and the gage will read half tank. Now it's giving me another code and saying there is a misfire. If i turn the ac on the shaking is worse and it smells horrible.

Dashboard / panel is melting and bubbling

Dashboard / panel is melting and bubbling

Rear passenger door lock actuator problem. We had been having issues with the door not being able to open. There were times that we had our 7 months old daughter on that side and we couldn't open the door. We can hear it clicks but not opening. This is a safety hazard especially if all doors can't be open because of the faulty actuators!

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. While driving, the vehicle would not properly accelerate and the rpms and speedometer increased although the accelerator pedal was not pressed. During the failure, the vds and slip warning sensors displayed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 161,000.

There is a recall not isted on this site to do with the melting/bubbling dashboard. There could be a health hazard with the adhesive and infiniti closed the recall and it is not for the life of the vehicle

I opened the sunroof while driving about 60-70 mph on the highway and the glass of the sunroof completely flew off the car and went up in the air about 30-40 feet. The break or separation of the glass from the roof was clean so there was no damage to the sunroof mount/bracket which still operates like it should without the glass. This is vary dangerous as it could kill someone driving behind me. My insurance company said that the sunroof glass should not break apart from the mount of any vehicle, that i should contact the manufacture. I called infiniti consumer affairs and they do not want to do anything for me.

The airbag was recalled on may 23, 2016 due to the takata defective airbags. Till today infiniti has failed to provide a replacement for the defective airbag citing no available parts. Their advice is only not to sit in the seat where the defective airbag is present which is not an acceptable solution. I am not sure how much longer i need to wait or if they are just playing the waiting game for my car to be retired before they need to do work on it.

I noticed the locks on both back seat doors, passenger front seat and back door were not locking/unlocking using the remote. The only way to lock and unlock all doors (excluding the driver's side door) is manually. Intermittently, the rear gate does not unlock. Apparently this is a common problem with that make, model and model year. Is the dealer responsible for this repair since it's under 500 miles and it started happening after purchase, if not before.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. The contact stated that there was severe bubbling on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to glendale infiniti (812 s brand blvd, glendale, ca) where it was confirmed that the dashboard was bubbling; however, the technician refused to repair the vehicle because the contact did not have the extended warranty notice. The contact was referred to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that since the vehicle was out of warranty, the contact would be responsible for the repair cost. The failure mileage was not provided.

Takata recall. I received a notice from infinity about recall 16v-349 in august or september of 2016. I called my local dealer and they said they were expecting the new airbags by the end of the month so i set an appointment, because they did not receive the air bags i have made new appointments each month since september through january of this year but they still don't have the parts. They called other dealers but they only had parts for 2007 and later, not 2005. It appears that my local dealer has made every effort, and it's the corporate office of infinity that doesn't send the dealer the parts to complete the recall. Can you help my dealer get the parts needed to complete the recall?

The dashboard has become very shiny. The glare has on multiple occasions made it very difficult to see out the windshield. I have noticed the dash has also become very soft and almost gummy when the temperature warms up. I was driving facing the sun and i could not see the road for a number of seconds. This has happened multiple times.

Nhtsa recall number: 16v-349 recall date: may 23, 2016 manufacturer recall number: r1618 summary: continued exposure to areas with high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front passenger air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally. Safety risk: if the passenger air bag inflator ruptures, it may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. I am still waiting to complete this recall but there are still no parts - 10 weeks into the recall process.

I'm having problems with the air bag in the drivers side , it happen after to i stop to put gasoline

On monday, june 20 as i was driving up the ramp to go to the gw bridge, there was a lot of traffic and we were in a slow motion. I was pressing the brakes to avoid hitting the other car but my car kept on rolling and therefore it hit the bumper of the acura car in front of me. What i do not understand was the brakes were serviced 3 months before, but still it did not work and i was very sure that i was pressing the brakes and not the gas pedal but still it did not stop!

I currently own an 2005 infiniti fx35. On july 22, 2015 i was leaving the red light my vehicle was hesitate about pulling off. I almost got reared ended. I saw that my a/t (auto transmission) light was on. I found the nearest part stores. They said it was the valve body in the transmission. They next day i took it to the transmission shop. The cost was estimated at $3500. My car only has about 131000. I maintain service on my vehicle. I have done research online and there are numerous of infiniti owners that's having the same problem. The forum is overflowing with this same problem.I know my car is 10 years old but this seems to a recurring problem for the fx35 no matter the year. Infiniti cars are expensive to be made so cheaply. A person could be very easily rear ended due to the car starting off in high gear. This issue need to be bought to someone attention. I think the problem is being overlooked. What more can an owner do the timeline is flooded with complaints. Auto transmission should definitely be added to the recall list. They need to be held responsible. Feeling rip off.

I recently found out about a recall on my vehicle it has since than been over a month and yet my dealership has not notified me to fix the issue at the moment i am not allowed to ride anyone in my passenger seat which is a huge inconvenient for me and my family.

I have not experienced any problems with the airbag and my vin has not been specifically identified for the takata recall. That though is the issue. In view of the inifinti recall of similar model cars in high humidity states, and nhtsa's call for a full recall of the takata airbags, as well as toyota, gm & honda's recent expansion of the recall, i do not understand why infiniti has not taken similar additional action. I live in virginia - an area of high humidity for at least 3 months per year. A recent death occurred to a virginia resident related to the airbags. I drive to florida several times a year spending as many as 4-6 weeks there annually. It seems quite reckless for the company not to be acting on this recall. As it stands i have been reluctant to drive the vehicle for my safety and that of my passengers, especially since toyota is advising consumers to have the airbag disabled and post warning not to sit in the passenger side. While i could do a similar thing until infiniti wakes up and acts, i cannot see why i should have to absorb the cost for it. Please help if you can. I appreciate the opportunity to vent regarding this issue. Updated 07-16-15 *bf

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. While driving 20 mph and approximately 200 feet from the driveway, the driver and passenger side air bags deployed without warning. The vehicle crashed into a utility pole. The contact sustained head and upper body injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle restarted and was towed to an independent facility. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

My dashboard started to bubble 2 summers ago and i immediately contacted infinity. They told me that the company sent me a notice that this was an issue in specific models and would replace the dashboard. I did not receive any notice and when i called in 2014 the time allowed had expired. Infinity would not replace my dashboard. Now the dashboard is completely covered with bumps from faulty materials (glue, leather, etc.). The value of my vehicle is at least $1000-1500 less due to this flaw. I would like to file a complaint against infinity for using inferior materials and not standing by their product.

The dashboard has bubbled and is very hot to the touch. I have been trying for years to get this replaced. I want to start a class action suit. I see many cars with the same issue.

Inoperative fuel sensor , indicates half a tank when it is full, it then slowly rises to full and then back down to empty, causing the low fuel light to come on. At times it indicates a full tank when it is not .I have contacted infiniti about this issue because i have ran out of fuel, this is a safety issue. I was told that the recalls are set according to the vin. At the moment there aren't any recalls for this vehicles fuel sensor, but there is a recall for the exact problem on the infiniti qx model. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, she heard a loud banging as the vehicle refused to accelerate over 45 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where the technician stated that the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic where the contact was then informed that the radiator was leaking antifreeze into the transmission and had caused the transmission to fail. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 89,500.

Wheel bearings on both front wheels failed. Noise does not appear at speeds under 25 mph but builds gradually from there. Sounds exhibited are intermittent metal on metal squealing and a deep thumping sound, similar to a severely out of balanced tire. At highway speeds, noise will consume cabin. Infiniti has acknowledged this issue by increasing their standard coverage from 50k to 70k miles. However, it should be escalated to a recall due to the high frequency of failures. A quick search on google of fx35 wheel bearing failure yields more results than a few isolated incidents. *tr

1. Having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2. Nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. It's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. Remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. The drive "thinks" the door is locked, when in reality it's an "open door" for carjacking or robbery. This failure is an intermitance of operation. Sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. In addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. 3. In emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. Since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar. In emergencies every second counts. The locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. Some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers) will forgo getting them fixed, putting their family members at risk with the above mishap examples. This shouldn't be, nissan should recall them. It's only a matter of time till someone gets robbed, hurt or killed from a malfunctioning door lock.

The underneath of the car is completely rusted. Specifically the exhaust system and all of the underneath cover. There was a recall on or about 2009, it was supposedly replaced but the underneath is complete rotted. Pieces have become loose and fallen off.

The dashboard of my 2005 fx35 suv melted from the radiation internally. Was there a recall that i had missed?

At 4:30 pm parked car at walmart, got out and tried to lock doors but they wouldn't lock. I locked driver door with key but wouldn't unlock with remote. All of the doors are acting like this. It's a shame that the u.S allows nissan vehicles in this country,but when hundreds of infiniti fx 35 owners complain about this problem they like toyota initially did,ignore this safety issue! Is someone going to have to be pulled out their unlock car and raped or killed for nissan to recall these cars? *tr

How many letters and complaints across north america must there be before a recall on defective door lock actuators becomes a reality? At first the locks only failed on very warm / hot days and mostly just the front passenger side and the problem spread to the drivers door the one of the back doors and to the other back door. Infiniti !!! Listen up !!! You made a bad door lock actuator design and it is way past time to admit it and start replacing tens and tens of thousands of nice folks door locks. Just google it for a few and will find out what we are talking about. I am glad i don't have kids in the back seat. I cannot open the car door for my date. I have to hold the remote button until the windows roll down so i can reach inside and unlock my doors. I have to lock them all by hand then set the alarm. I have owned six infiniti's. I will not own a 7th if you don't fix my locks on your dime. *tr

I own an infiniti fx 35, 2005. My front passenger door and hatch door locks have failed ( the actuators). I called my local dealership, expressed my concern as it is a safety issue, esp since there is no key hole entry for either the passenger side or the hatch door. They did not feel this is an issue that infiniti should be responsible for. I brought my car in to the local dealership to have examined, and fixed (because again, this is a safety issue)....They told me that all my locks are failing (actuators) and it will cost $1700.00 to fix. I can get this fixed by my local mechanic for a lot less, but i will have to buy after market products. However, i absolutely can not have all my locks fail on my car. My car only has one key access, the driver side. Which i understand is for most cars that are newer, but i also understand that most cars locks do not fail. And all cars have a key hole in there hatch. This is a safety issue in every way, and infiniti absolutely should take responsibility. Also, i have tried contacting a manger at infiniti usa with no luck. *tr

Some time ago, the power locks stopped locking or unlocking. When it gets hot and the vehicle is in the sun for some time, the doors do not want to open. Some times it could be all the doors or just some. We had to climb over the back seats to unlock the doors because the lift gate is the only one that got unlocked. Some times we need to wait for a while pressing the remote hoping to get lucky and one door will unlock. Not even the key works to open the driver side door. It has got to the point that now we need to leave one door unlocked so that we can enter the car and hope that the alarm will deter any body other than us trying to get in. This has become a serious security problem. Searching the internet, they say that the door actuators are the culprits to this issue, but there is many nissan/infinity owners having the same problem. All of the actuators going at the same time? Hmmmm and at about $400 a pop per door? Double hmmmm!!! I just hope that nissan/infinity, do the right thing and find out the real solution to this problem. Other wise, the will be loosing a lot of costumers. Thanks.. *tr

The air bag warning light came on. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the driver's side air bag control module had failed and it would be $900 to replace it. My husband's volkswagen gli was recalled for the exact same problem, and was fixed for free. Why not the infinity? Was told none of the air bags would work without replacing the driver's side module. Still driving without air bags... *tr

Vehicle : 2005 infiniti fx 35 37,000 miles issues with the door locks on the vehicle. According to the dealership all 5 actuators have failed at one time and this has rendered the vehicle at times with no entry access> this poses a hazard in the event of emergency personnel needing access to remove occupants from vehicle. A lesser danger is the inability to insure doors are in the locked or open position. The quote for repair on this was $2800.00 this is an unaffordable amount.. The dealer refused to help, infiniti us customer service refused to help. *tr

The door lock actuators are failing in a "lazy" manner in my 2005 inifiniti fx35. It started with the passenger side lock and now includes the rear hatch. When unlocking or locking the doors either with the fob or with the switch on the driver side door, these doors intermittently will not lock or unlock. The frequency at which it does not work is increasing with time. The danger is that i have to manually check if the door are locked. Even when they are locking i can never be sure if they are locked because i never know when they will stop working again. This is a common problem described on nissan and infiniti forums, which indicates a design issue either in the electrical system or the actuator itself. The cost of replacing all actuators is around $2000, which many owners have had to do. *tr

I have a 2005 infiniti fx 35. It only has 62,000 miles on it and every one of the door lock actuators have failed. I feel its a safety issue, because you cannot get in the vehicle from the outside except for the drivers side door with the key. The other doors do not have a key to gain access so you have to go through the inside of the vehicle to manually unlock it. Each door has to be manually unlocked or unlocked from the inside. I had to replace each door actuator which range from $270 dollars to over $300 not including labor. It seems that there is some type of defect going on with these actuators for them all to go bad. Infiniti's response was that it's fairly common with those models. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the air bag warning indicator began to illuminate continuously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the front driver's side air bag module would need to be replaced. The contact was uncertain of the type of repair performed on the vehicle. One year later, the failure recurred. The vehicle had not been repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,606.

I have a 2005 infiniti fx35. The automatic door locks on all four doors have failed to function properly. I have contacted the dealer, and even the manufacturer, and neither offered to make things right. Instead, they both said i was responsible to pay for the repairs for their obviously malfunctioning equipment. This simply is not equitable. *tr

2005 fx 35 driver seat track failure - driver seat does not move on track. 1100.00 - 1400.00 to replace entire track. Infinity only replaced the entire track - there is an option to replace the plastic gear head which is bad at a cost for part of 65.00. Infinity is not replacing the broken part forcing you to buy the entire track. The seat does not move causing back pain and improper position making the driving of the car dangerous with pedal and leg issue to use properly. *tr

I own a 2005 infiniti fx35. Within this last year, i have had problem with all 4 locking mechanisms including the rear hatch of my vehicle. This first began with the rt rear passenger side and has now affected the remainder of the door locks. The failure is that when the door lock button fails to either lock and or unlock any of the doors. This is a constant problem. When the door lock button is depressed there is a locking sound heard, but the action doesn't take place. When disarming the alarm with the key fob, and entering my vehicle i find it does not open my driver door. I must use the key to unlock the door. When manually attempting to lock the vehicle from the interior the door actuators fail to lock, thus i must manually lock each door. Currently there is no recall by infiniti for this type of problem. It will cost upward of 1,000 to fix. This has not been the only problem. 1 month ago, the warning light on the airbag restraint system turned on and has been flashing. I do not know if this i will affect the deployment of the airbags in case of an accident. Researching and speaking to mechanics, the faulty part may be the body control module. As this part controls the signals sent to all door lock actuators as well as the airbag restraint system. My vehicle being out of warranty, infiniti will not fix this issue and instead intends to charge for repairs. This should not be charged by them and should be stated as a recall item of the bcm, since it is unlikely that all four locks would fail at the same time. My biggest safety concern is for the airbag system, as i do not know if its useless in case of an accident. As for the locks failing, it is a great safety issue, as anyone could be a victim of a carjacking, and automatic locks are essential for personal safety. I live near the border and events like this are far too common. I would expect a basic item on a luxury vehicle to perform to its standards, as i would expect this company to honor repairs. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. The contact stated that the front passenger, driver side passenger and rear hatch door locks failed.

The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

I have had consistent problems with infiniti. My brakes constantly make a squealing noise at slow speeds. I've spent about $2,000 to try to correct the problem with numerous visits to the dealer, only to be told that this "happens with all the fx models". I've contacted infiniti executive dept and they sent a technician to the dealership to take my braking system apart. I was told in the end that it was my driving habits and because i live near the beach, the salt water air interferes with the brakes. What!?!? Infiniti did nothing to try to research when i said other owners have this same problem, they basically left me hanging. I will never purchase another nissan or infiniti. I've been trying to get my local news station involved to get some media coverage on this, i know i'm not the only owner with this problem. I would like other people to speak up to infiniti so they could possibly be overwhelmed with this issue and be forced to recall the vehicles until the problem is solved. *tt

The dashboard has extensive bubbling. The bubbling started about 4 years after purchasing, was told by dealership that nothing could be done about problem because car was out of warranty. Then several years later when we took the car to the dealership they mentioned that an extended warranty had been issued. Dilemma the car was now outside this period as well and we never received notice of extended warranty. Tried to work with nissan/infiniti to no avail. Noticed in paper an article dated 5/24/2014 that jury orders nissan to pay damages for faulty dashboard on infiniti's 2003-2008 model fx35. Called nissan/infiniti about the dashboard again. Still nothing. Please note that the dashboard bubbling problem is due to inferior glue. Please note as incident date is required i picked a date not necessarily the first date we noticed the problem. *tr

2005 fx 35- i was t-boned, proceeding to stop and had no brakes at all. Car has been checked and found no damage to brakes/lines everything checked out fine. I could not stop the vehicle and went through an intersection. I finally stopped the vehicle by hitting the side of a tree. Prior to that i turned key off and placed into park, i couldn't take my eyes off road i was approaching another major intersection. I did not want to hit anyone or be hit again. I am concerned, i have 2 children and even after vehicle is fixed, will my brakes fail again. I did slam on my brakes after being hit, they went down to floor, i kept trying and trying....No brakes. I have read that some of the 2003 have had break failure. Please help. *tr

Ok this complaint is about the melting dashboard on mi vehicle is not only dangerous to drive when the sun is in front of you because of the glare but cosmetically looks disgusting, every time someone gets in my car asks me if my car has some kind of deceased or they even mention chickenpox as a joke. I contacted infiniti about the issue end they told me that i just missed the recall and they couldn't do anything about it. Well the problem is still there and is a factory defect that not only me but thousands has the same problem. I ask you for your help to see if this problem could be resolved. I heard that mazda has recall all their defective dashboard and i think that every other company such as luxury infiniti should stand behind their product. I am a family man with two kids 12 and 7 and i would hate to think that something can happened while driving with this dashboard that maximizes the glare due to its condition. I took a few pictures to show you the glare and the defect. Also this happened in new york where i reside and every summer it gets worst and worst.

Vehicle began to exhibit white smoke on start up through exhaust. Brought vehicle in for service, was informed that a cleaner and some parts were required but vehicle was ok to drive. Upon waiting for parts, experienced more smoke and then engine noise. Immediately stopped vehicle, checked oil and found oil level too low to continue. Returned vehicle to dealer, waited and was informed that after 40k miles, vehicle required new engine. We have been waiting three weeks for infiniti to warranty the engine.

I own a 2005 awd infiniti fx35. I was driving on the highway to work and i heard a loud noise indicating that the car was kicking up something underneath it. I did not see anything in the road but it became apparent later that i must have driven over some small debris in the road. I was close to the exit i take for work and i proceeded to drive off the highway. As i exited the highway i noticed that my car was leaking some liquid. The smell of the liquid appeared to be gasoline. I watched my gas gauge go from almost full to 3/4 full at a more rapid pace than normal. I brought the car immediately to the nearest infiniti dealer and when they put the car up on the lift they confirmed that there was a significant puncture in the gas tank on the driver side of the undercarriage of the vehicle. I have been told by infiniti that i need to have my gas tank replaced. I have done a bit of research and determined that earlier this year there had been an nhtsa campaign id number 06v003000 relating to the 2005 nissan murano fuel system, gasoline storage: tank assembly. The nissan murano is the equivalent nissan vehicle to the infiniti fx35. It appears to me that the campaign identified above describes the situation i encountered with my vehicle. I provided this information to the dealer who contacted infiniti and i am continuing to follow up with inifniti consumer affairs to attempt to have infiniti address this issue but i have had no luck so far. *jb

I am a cautious driver, not a rabbit start-and-stop kind of driver. I accelerate slowly and decelerate slowly, and hardly ever revved up my engine. I have been driving since 1963, and was never involved in any serious accident, i.E causing injury to myself or others. I took delivery of the 2005 infiniti fx 35, vin: jnras08w95x 205810 on dec. 21, 2004. Since then, i have had a major problem with my 2005 infiniti fx 35 twice, that was unexplainable sudden acceleration, without my foot touching the gas pedal, once when the vehicle was still new (under 1000 miles), and once at 21,384 miles, on may 28, 2005. I was with my wife (only passenger) both times when this happened. Fortunately, both times, the car was at very low speed (about 10 mph), and without any car in front or behind us. It was a terrifying experience to try to keep the car under control, so in both times, i had to (1) put on the brake to control the car from surging ahead. (2) put the car into neutral, with the engine still revving. (3) shut off the engine. (4) started the engine again and continued to drive. I was very scared both times. I made sure, both times, that the gas pedal was not caught by a rug or similar external reason. The first time after this happened, i brought the car to the dealer, atlantic infiniti in jacksonville, fl 32225, and they said they could not find anything wrong with the car. Note: i also do not use the cruise control, as it was suddenly decelerating the car without encountering any car or other object in front of it. This happened a couple of times before 5000 miles, so i do not use the cruise control at all. In summary, there seems to be some hidden problem with my 2005 infiniti fx 35 with uncontrolled acceleration and deceleration, most likely a defect in the computer chip controlling acceleration and deceleration. *nm

I purchased a 2005 infiniti fx35, on october 2004 from miller infiniti in the city of van nuys, ca and ever since the brakes on this vehicle have been squeaking, 3 months after i bought this vehicle, i called miller infiniti (somebody in the service department) was aware of such issue for this vehicle, and he's only suggestion was "quote on quote" to drive the vehicle really fast in reverse than brake really fast - and that was supposedly the solution to the problem. I took his advice and still no results until this day my brakes are still squeaking, i called miller infiniti today and spoke to carl (service manager) his suggestion was to get on the freeway and on the way out of the exit brake really fast - supposely the solution to my problem. He mentioned that infiniti are high performance vehicles and this is normal. I abundantly disagree, i think that when you drive a brand new luxury vehicle like infiniti you should not have this type of problems and expect the customer to drive like a maniac just to have a normal driving experience (without the squeaking of brakes on a vehicle that has less than 10k miles) and brake like maniac in the middle of the street. I think there is something seriously wrong with the brakes of this vehicle. I told carl if he could check my vehicle, he said that if i were to bring the car in, he would tell me the same thing (basically, just send me back home). Suggested to additionally, suggested to brake like such a maniac once a day, everyday... I mean, what kind of advice is this coming from a manager standpoint. If this problem does not get resolved, i will never again buy from infiniti. This is such a poorly made vechicle (poor engineering).I truly beleive this is a safety hazard and of all this models should be re-called. I think lexus and acura are looking pretty good right now.

Consumer complaint regarding false advertisement. Consumer was told infinity gets 17 mpg and only gets 8 mpg. *ts *jb

I made the mistake of buying a 2005 infiniti fx35 believing i was getting a luxury brand. Almost immediately, i started hearing this pig squealing noise from the brakes whenever i am backing up. I reported this to the dealer who told me to drive it around some more just for the brakes to "settle down". Well, it never got better! After more complaints, i had someone at the dealership tell me that this noise "was normal" for infinitis! Unbelievable! Over the past 3 years, i have reported this noise at every service i have taken the car in for. Infiniti (at their own expense) have replaced my pads and rotors once. I still have the noise. The dealer is now telling me that there is nothing else they can do for me as they have performed everything recommended by infiniti! My car still makes horrible noises every time i back up. To add to my woes, my brakes also make a horrible grinding noise going forward for about the first 5 minutes after getting into a cold car. Guess what? The dealership is again telling me that i am on the latest brake pads recommended by infiniti so once again, there is nothing they can do for me! This is ridiculous! From talking to mechanics and reps at the dealership, it is obvious that i am not the only one having these problems and infiniti does not seem to care about us! With several reports of poor dealership dealings, i am convinced that the "infiniti experience" is no better than what you can expect from buying a nissan! Needless to say, i will not be buying any more infinitis in the future and would not recommend them to anyone! *tr
