POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE
CHANGED 1 ENGINE COIL AND ALL 6 PLUGS, RAN GOOD FOR 2 DAYS. THEN STARTED RUNNING ROUGH, HESITATES AND CUTS OFF. THEN CHANGED ALL 6 COILS, RAN GOOD 2 DAYS THEN STARTED WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. INTERNET RESEARCH SAYS POSSIBLE ECM, IPDM OR ECU RELAY CAUSING THE COILS TO OVER HEAT AND BURN UP. NO RECALLS ON 2007 FX35 BUT OTHER MODELS HAVE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. INFINITI SHOULD STEP UP AND RECALL THE 2007 FX35 MODEL AS WELL.

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.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE "VDC OFF" "SLIP" ERROR LIGHT COMES ON AS SOON AS STEERING COLUMN IS MOVED, THUS TRACTION CONTROL IS SHUT OFF FOR USE IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE GET SQUIRRELLY ON WET PAVEMENT. IF I RAISE THE STEERING COLUMN ALL THE WAY UP AND IN, IT IS OK. ONCE YOU TRY TO ADJUST THE STEERING COLUMN THE ERROR LIGHT COMES ON. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR THE NEXT 5,000 MILES (9 MONTHS) WITHOUT ADJUSTING THE WHEEL, IE. TURNED OFF MEMORY SELF-ADJUSTING FEATURE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A LOOSE OR BROKEN WIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN FROM ALL THE AUTOMATIC MOVING UP AND OUT OF THE WAY WHEN CAR IS SHUT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THEN ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THE SEAT QUIT RETRACTING EVERY TIME. IT STILL DOES AUTOMATICALLY RETRACT AND MOVES FORWARD FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT NOT OFTEN ANYMORE. NOW 5,000 MILES LATER, AFTER TRYING TO ADJUST WHEEL, THE "VDC OFF, SLIP" LIGHT STAY ON ALWAYS. IT WON'T GO OUT NO MATTER WHAT POSITION THE STEERING COLUMN IS IN. ALSO, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT LIGHT IS NOW ALWAYS FLASHING. THIS MEANS THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS OR SEAT BELT TENSIONERS WILL NOT WORK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO MELT/BUBBLE UP. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A VERY SHINY/STICKY DASH WHICH ON SUNNY DAYS REFLECTS LIGHT BACK UP ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CREATING A VERY DISTRACTING/OBSTRUCTING GLARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. INFINITY EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY FROM 2010 UP TO 2014 TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD BUT WILL NOW DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT APPEAR ON MY CAR TILL THIS YEAR.

AIR BAGS
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

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF MY FX35 ALL CAME OFF..WHEN TRYING TO OPEN DOOR. INITIALLY OCCURRED WITH ONE OF THE REAR DOORS. THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS TOO ROUGH WITH IT..SO DIDNT MAKE MUCH OF IT. WHEN SECOND REAR DOOR BROKE OFF..I KNEW SOMETHING WASNT RIGHT. I CALL INFINITI..THEY REPLIED STATING THAT THERE WASNO RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE HANDLE THEN BROKE OFF 2 YEARS AGO..THEN FINALLY FRONT PASSENGER LAST MONTH. I CANT BELIEVE IT. WHEN YOU SPEND MONEY ON AN "LUXURY" VEHICLE, ALL FOUR OF THE DOOR AHNDLES SHOULD NOT BE COMING OFF.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON SATURDAY, MAY 30, 2015, I EXPERIENCED THREE ANOMALIES WITH MY FX35, DURING TWO CYCLES (ENGINE OFF). THE WEATHER WAS FAIR, WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGH SEVENTIES. AT ABOUT 10AM, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN THE GARAGE, IT HAD AN UNUSUALLY HIGH RPM WHICH I NOTICED AS IT WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE SO I COULD PULL OUT. I ALWAYS BACK MY VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE, SO IT LUNGED FORWARD WITH A STRONG JERK. ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD, I HEADED TO COSTCO IN STERLING VA AND HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS FOR THE TIME BEING. AFTER SHOPPING AT COSTCO, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 11:15AM AND HEADED HOME ON ROUTE 7 IN STERLING VIRGINIA. WHILE APPROACHING THE RED TRAFFIC LIGHT IN FRONT OF THE NOVA CAMPUS, I APPLIED THE BRAKE. THERE WERE AUTOS IN ALL FOUR LANES, SEVERAL DEEP, IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I WAS PERHAPS 10 CAR LENGTHS AWAY AND DECELERATING, THE VEHICLE ENGINE BEGAN TO INCREASE IN RPM. I HAD TO USE MY LEFT FOOT AND RIGHT FOOT TO APPLY MAXIMUM PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EVEN THEN, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BEGINNING TO SLOW DOWN. WITH LESS THAN 3 CAR LENGTHS LEFT TO GO, I HAD THE GOOD SENSE TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL. AT THAT POINT THE TACHOMETER RACED TO 9,000 WHILE THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP, WITH ABOUT 5 FEET TO GO BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT. I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE STILL IN NEUTRAL, AND THIS STOPPED THE ENGINE RACING. I THOUGHT TO PROCEED HOME ANYWAY. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED SLOWLY WITH THE VEHICLE DOWN A BUSY ROUTE 7 TOWARD MCLEAN. A MILE AND A HALF LATER, WHILE COMING INTO ANOTHER INTERSECTION, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME UNINTENDED VEHICLE ACCELERATION. AGAIN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO AVOID THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN ACCIDENT. AGAIN, I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN NEUTRAL, AND THIS STOPPED THE ENGINE RACING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS
MY 2006 INFINITI DASHBOARD STARTED TO DEVELOP BUBBLES APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO. THEY HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT INFINITI EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 8 YEARS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THEM OR THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IN ESSENCE THEY WERE HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY OFFERED A NO CHARGE FIX. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT COULD AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SINCE THAT IS THE AREA INVOLVED. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 6 MONTHS AGO AND SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED I AM NOW LEFT TO PAY FOR THE FIX ON MY OWN. INFINITI USA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ARE UNWILLING TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF THE REPAIR.
