2008 INFINITI FX35 Complaints

I HAVE RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE MARCH 2016 RECALL, NOTICE ON 10/3/2016. I HAVE CONTACTED THE 800 ~ ON THE LETTER AND ALSO MY CLOSEST INFINITY DEALERSHIP. BOTH HAVE SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE AIR BAGS AT THIS TIME. TWO PEOPLE IN MY AREA OF HOUSTON, TX HAVE DIED RECENTLY DUE TO THEIR AIR BAGS EXPLODING AND SHARP PIECES IT THEM ON THE HEAD, NECK & UPPER BODY. I USE THIS CAR EVERYDAY AND WANT IT FIXED NOW!! TRAFFIC IN HOUSTON IS DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT WANT TO DIE BECAUSE INFINITY WILL NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. I AM SURE THE DEALERSHIP HAS AIR BAGS. THEY REPAIR CARS DAMAGED IN WRECKS EVERYDAY AND REPLACE THEIR AIR BAGS. I THINK THIS IS TERRIBLE THAT PEOPLE ARE DYING AND INFINITY DOES NOTHING. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP ME. ALSO WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO A SALESPERSON. HE TRIED TO TALK ME INTO TRADING IN THIS CAR. I AM RETIRED AND THE CAR IS JUST ABOUT PAID FOR AND I HOPE TO KEEP IT FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. HELP!!!

IN FEB 2016 WHEN I SAW THE RECALL ON THE NEWS FOR AIRBAGS, I CALLED TO SEE IF THE INFINITI FX35 2008 WAS RECALLED. I WAS TOLD NO RECALL THE TRUCK IS FINE. NOW IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVE A LETTER FOR A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. DO YOU KNOW IF THE DRIVER AIRBAG IS BEING INVESTIGATED? I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW, BECAUSE MY MOM WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT, WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IN DEC. 2015. SHE HAD INJURY TO HER FACE, NECK AND MORE. WHAT MAKES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATE? IS IT NORMAL FOR THE DRIVER SEAT TO COME OFF THE TRACK? THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR UPDATED 12/04/17*BF *TR

TAKATA RECALL IS THERE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR SERVICE THAT THE MANUFACTURER MUST ADHERE TO?

VISIBILITY CHALLENGED AS A RESULT OF DASHBOARD BUBBLING. I JUST SAW THAT SOMEONE ELSE FILED A SIMILAR COMPLAINT.

ENTIRE DASHBOARD BUBBLED/BLISTERED ALL IN ONE DAY. CONTACTED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED. - THE PROBLEM IS THE REFLECTION FROM THE BLISTERING. *TR

RIGHT REAR BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED CAUSING THE LIQUID TO SPEW ALL OVER THE WHEEL CAUSING IT TO SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL; THE VEHICLE ALSO RUMBLED AND VIBRATED WHILE IN MOTION LIKE IT HAD A BAD FLAT TIRE.. ALSO, TIRE SENSOR ON THE SAME WHEEL HAD GONE BAD. THE LIGHT ON THE DASH FLASHES WHEN THE CAR STARTED AND STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME. IN DASH TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE SHOWS "**" RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL PRESSURE AMOUNT. *JS

I PURCHASED AN INFINITI FX35 FROM A LOCAL DEALER, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I NOTED SOME CONDENSATION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT, WHICH I QUICKLY POINTED OUT TO THE DEALER. I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL MY SALESMAN TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. HE WAS ALWAYS CONVENIENTLY UNAVAILABLE. I COULD NEVER GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR 45 DAYS, AT WHICH TIME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONDENSATION IS SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OR ROADWAY AHEAD OF YOU. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. MEANWHILE THEY HAVE PLACED A STATE INSPECTION STICKER ON THIS VEHICLE. OTHER INSPECTION STATIONS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PASS THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. THIS IS IN TOTAL VIOLATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL SAFETY LAWS AND LOCAL INSPECTION CRITERIA. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ELDERLY PARENT AND CANNOT TAKE HER TO ANY DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL EITHER WHEN IT IS DARK OR OVERCAST. THE DEALER KEEPS REPEATING 30 DAYS. IN ADDITION THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE DEVELOPED A FURTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT LEAVING ME WITH NO NIGHT TIME ILLUMINATION, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AT NIGHT. NO HIGH OR LOW BEAM ON ONE SIDE AND A DISPERSED AND DIFFUSED LIGHT ON THE LEFT. *JS

ON 01/24/08 I WAS DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED AND WENT TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL OF MY INFINITY FX35 2008 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE PEDAL GOT STUCK,OR IT GOT STUCK BTW THE MAT, AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE, AT MUCH FASTER SPEED, I HAD LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, IT WAS ONLY MATTER OF SECONDS THAT I CRASHED INTO FEW SAFETY POLES, SIGN, & GUARD RAIL, I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE ,THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANY OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIAN. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL MATS THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE & AFTER MARKET RUBBER MATS ON TOP OF THE FABRIC MATS. IT DID HAPPEN ONCE, FEW MONTHS AGO BUT I WAS ABLE HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND IT RELEASE THE PEDAL. I PULL OVER TO CHECK WHY THIS HAPPEN, AND CHECK THE MATS, I COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I ALSO KNOW THERE WAS RECALL ON THE TOYOTA ABOUT A SIMULATOR PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THAT MY INFINITY FX35 & THE TOYOTA MODEL ARE MADE IN JAPAN. *TR
