REPLACE STEERING SHAFT ON THE EX35,FX35, SUV'S BUILT FROM OCT 31, 2007 TO APRIL 16, 2008. EXTRA PLAY IN THE STEERING MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. WWW.EDMUNDS.COM

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE GEARS STALL ON THE 2ND GEAR AND POWER CUTS OFF FROM THE ENGINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON HIGHWAYS. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED WITH NO ENGINE RESPONSE. DID THIS 2 MORE TIMES AND ENGINE RESTORED POWER. ENGINE STALLING IS COMMON WITH DAILY DRIVING AND CUTS OFF WHEN IN 2ND GEAR. INFINITI DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO REFLASH THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 INFINTI FX35. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, IT VIBRATED AND THE STEERING MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

I HAVE MY CAR WASH THAT DAY, AND WHEN I WAS CLEANING INSIDE A NOTICE SOMETHING STICKY ON MY DASHBOARD. ..AND IT IS MELTING DOWN FRONT OF MY EYE'S AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ...I AM AFRAID TO CALL THE COMPANY BECAUSE I HAVE NO MORE GUARANTEE IN THE CAR... *TR

THIS VEHICLE RANDOMLY AND SUDDENLY HAS ENGINE FAILURE. THIS ALONE SHOULD REALLY NOT BE MUCH OF AN ISSUE EXCEPT THIS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING AND BRAKES AS SOON AS THE ENGINE QUITS. I HAVE HAD 3 NEAR MISSES WITH ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO COMPUTER CODES LEFT BEHIND TO DETECT WHY THE STALLS ARE OCCURRING. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS SAVED ME IS THAT THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED AGAIN IN NEUTRAL WHICH RESTORES STEERING AND BREAKING POWER. IT IS A SCARY AND UNSAFE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME AND NO BODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND A CURE. *TR

MY INFINITI FX 35 WAS PARKED ON A SUMMER DAY AND I TOOK THE SUN SHADES OUT OF THE WINDOW (THE ONES THAT KEEP THE CAR COOL) AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FORKED OFF AND CRACKED THE WINDOW AND TINY SHARDS OF GLASS WENT EVERYWHERE. *TR

2009 FX35 INFINITI MORE THAN 80% OF THE TIME I EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL SHOCKS AFTER EXITING MY CAR TOUCHING THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. I CONTACTED AN INFINITI TO INVESTIGATE AND WAS TOLD THEY FOUND GROUNDS O.K. AND SUGGESTED BEFORE EXITING THE CAR I SHOULD TOUCH THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR FRAME TO DISCHARGE ANY ELECTRICAL CURRENT ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GAS UP THE CAR. I CONTACTED INFINITY USA TO SEE IF THEY HAD A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND AFTER CHECKING WITH THERE TECHNICAL STAFF THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT RECOMMEND I GO TO ANOTHER INFINITI DEALER AND HAVE THEM INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THE BOTTOM LINE IS NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THE COULD DO.I DON'T LIKE BEING SHOCKED TOUCHING THE EXTERIOR OF MY CAR BUT EVEN A GREATER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE OR WORSE YET EXPLOSION GASING UP. JUST TO EXPAND A BIT ON THE SHOES I WEAR AT THE TIME OF THESE SHOCKS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE SOULS ARE LEATHER OR RUBBER, EITHER WAY IT HAPPENS. PLEASE ADVISE ME. *TR

MY CAR STARTED RATHER VIOLENTLY LURCHING WHEN I ACCELERATED. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY AN APPARENT ELECTRONICS FAILURE IN THE CAR. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BY ITSELF. AIR CONDITIONING WENT OFF. VARIOUS ICON LIGHTS THAT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE CAME ON. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. AFTER A WHILE THE AC CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR. WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE CAR TO DRIVE AGAIN LATER, AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE INCIDENT STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO, GUNN INFINITI, AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME ON THE PHONE. I CALLED THEIR ROAD NUMBER AND THEY ARRANGED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO SAN ANTONIO. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A WEEK AND HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT HAS CAUSED AN APPARENT DEFECT IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER AFFECTING THE ELECTRONIC SYSTER. AT NO TIME DID I FEEL THAT I WAS IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING, ALTHOUGH WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING TURN SIGNAL AND SPEEDOMETER I COULD NOT HAVE DRIVEN FOR LONG. AS OF MONDAY, MARCH 8 THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND HAVE NOT GIVEN ME AN ESTIMATED TIME WHEN THEY THINK THEY WILL HAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME. *TR
