2006 INFINITI FX35. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MUFFLER AND HEAT SHIELD COVERING CATALYTIC CONVERTER CORROSION AND RUST. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE MUFFLER RUSTING AND THE HEAT SHIELD FALLING OFF, WAS DUE TO MOISTURE AND ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS. THE CONSUMER STATED A FEW WEEKS AGO, HIS WIFE FOUND PIECE OF METAL UNDER THE VEHICLE, IN THEIR DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS BADLY RUSTED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THE PART CAME FROM THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND NOT HAVING THE PART COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND CREATE HEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED, SO THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER HAD TO PURCHASE THE WHOLE PIECE, WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. HE WAS INFORMED THE OTHER PARTS WOULD EVENTUALLY FALL OFF AS WELL. INFINITI AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ONLY, AND THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTS. THE REPAIR WAS $200 AND THE PARTS WERE $2,000. UPDATED 08/15/13 UPDATED 08/21/13

THE DRIVER SEAT POWER FUNCTION FAILED, RESULTING IN THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE SEAT ADEQUATELY TO REACH GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. UPON INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, THEY INDICATED THAT THE PLASTIC GEAR TRACK WAS FAULTY. THE FIX FOR THIS ISSUE COSTS $1200-1300 SINCE THEY MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT POWER COMPONENT INSTEAD. *TR

THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WOULD SEEM TO HAVE THE WOBBLY SOUND AND FEEL AFTER GOING 15 MILES AN HOUR. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME RECALL OF 11/14/2003 AND NOW HAPPENING TO MY 2006 FX35 INFINITI SUV WHERE THE SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC FOUNDATION COMPONENT:DISC;CALIPER. THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED, THIS COULD RESULT IN ONE OR BOTH OF THE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS LOOSENING. IF THIS OCCURS, IT WOULD ALLOW THE CALIPER TO ROTATE OR SEPARATE FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKET. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE TO FAIL, REDUCING THE VEHICLE'S ABILITY TO STOP, IT COULD ALSO DAMAGE THE WHEEL, CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. EITHER ONE OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL STARTS TO MALFUNCTION. IT FIRST WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF RANDOMLY. FROM THERE IT GETS WORSE, REACTIVATING THE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSES THE CAR TO SOMETIMES "SEE" CARS THAT ARE NOT THERE AND APPLIES BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY, OR EVEN WORSE (AND MORE OFTEN) DOES NOT "SEE" CARS THAT ARE THERE AND CONTINUES TO DRIVE ON A COLLISION COURSE, UNTIL I'M JUST FEET FROM THE CARS BUMPER AND HIT THE BRAKES. IF I DO NOT TAKE ACTION THE CAR WILL CRASH INTO OTHERS. I TRIED TO GET THIS REPAIRED, BUT INFINITI HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT IT AND I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET IT REPAIRED AGAIN ON MY 3 MONTH OLD 2006 INFINITI FX 35. THIS HAS BEEN FILMED ON VIDEO TAPE AND HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE INJURIES OR DEATH - A COPY OF THE DVD CAN BE SENT IF REQUESTED. *JB
