2005 INFINITI FX35 Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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 TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SLIP WARNING LAMP AND THE VOC WARNING LAMP FLASHED RANDOMLY. THE FAILURE PROGRESSED IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD EACH TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V701000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO SUPPLY THE PART FOR MONTHS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT WOULD BE SCHEDULED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ALL OF MY DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK. I HAVE SHORT ARMS AND CAN'T UNLOCK MY DOORS. FIRST IT ONLY DID EVERY NOW AND THE. THEN ONE DOOR STOP WORKING NOW ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK. *TR

CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, PROBABLY LEAKS/CRACKS IN THE SEALS. *TR

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

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

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
