FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ISSUE 1: THE GAS GAUGE IMPROPERLY REPRESENTS THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK AND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ARE CONSTANTLY PRESENT: 1) A FULL TANK IS NEVER SHOWN VIA THE GAUGE 2) THE GAS GAUGE SPORADICALLY JUMPS AROUND REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK 3) THE "EMPTY" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS AS MUCH AS 1/2 TANK OF GAS 4) THE FULL VOLUME OF THE TANK CANNOT BE FILLED BECAUSE THE FUELING PUMP IS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF BY THE TANK ISSUE 2: ALSO, THE CAR FAILS TO START. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV WITHOUT FULL IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. IT SEEMS AS IF GAS IS NOT BEING PROVIDED BY THE FUEL SYSTEM DURING THE IGNITION SEQUENCE. THE FUEL PRESSURE OF THE TANK SEEMS TO BE THE MALFUNCTIONING ISSUE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SOME TIME AGO, THE POWER LOCKS STOPPED LOCKING OR UNLOCKING. WHEN IT GETS HOT AND THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SUN FOR SOME TIME, THE DOORS DO NOT WANT TO OPEN. SOME TIMES IT COULD BE ALL THE DOORS OR JUST SOME. WE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE BACK SEATS TO UNLOCK THE DOORS BECAUSE THE LIFT GATE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT UNLOCKED. SOME TIMES WE NEED TO WAIT FOR A WHILE PRESSING THE REMOTE HOPING TO GET LUCKY AND ONE DOOR WILL UNLOCK. NOT EVEN THE KEY WORKS TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IT HAS GOT TO THE POINT THAT NOW WE NEED TO LEAVE ONE DOOR UNLOCKED SO THAT WE CAN ENTER THE CAR AND HOPE THAT THE ALARM WILL DETER ANY BODY OTHER THAN US TRYING TO GET IN. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SECURITY PROBLEM. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THEY SAY THAT THE DOOR ACTUATORS ARE THE CULPRITS TO THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE IS MANY NISSAN/INFINITY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL OF THE ACTUATORS GOING AT THE SAME TIME? HMMMM AND AT ABOUT $400 A POP PER DOOR? DOUBLE HMMMM!!! I JUST HOPE THAT NISSAN/INFINITY, DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIND OUT THE REAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. OTHER WISE, THE WILL BE LOOSING A LOT OF COSTUMERS. THANKS.. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN I20 DURING AFTERNOON ATLANTA TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED RIDING LIKE A TRUCK AND THEN LOST ALL POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE AND VDC LIGHTS CAME ON THEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO NAVIGATE 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER. THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THE CAR IS BADLY MISFIRING ON 3 CYLINDERS AND IN ORDER TO FULLY INVESTIGATE, THE ELECTRICAL GROUNDS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND MAYBE SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS IS A FIVE YEAR OLD, WELL MAINTAINED CAR, WITH ONLY 90K MILES. I WOULDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT RESULT IN HAVING TO NAVIGATE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. *TR

ENGINE
PURCHASED A NEW 2003 INFINITI FX35 WHICH CURRENTLY HAS 238,000 AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED WITH THE DEALER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. AT 234,634 AND FREQUENTLY THEREAFTER THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING WOULD JUST SUDDENLY OVERHEAT AND ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION CAUSING AUTOMOBILE TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND START TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS OR ROADS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY WHEN YOU DRIVING AT 65 MPH. VERY, VERY SCARY AND JUST BARELY AVOIDED SEVERAL REAR END COLLISION. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED AND WOULD LIKE FOR THIS COMPLAINT TO BE RECORDED AS WITH ALL THE OTHER LISTED FX35 COMPLAINTS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
AT 4:30 PM PARKED CAR AT WALMART, GOT OUT AND TRIED TO LOCK DOORS BUT THEY WOULDN'T LOCK. I LOCKED DRIVER DOOR WITH KEY BUT WOULDN'T UNLOCK WITH REMOTE. ALL OF THE DOORS ARE ACTING LIKE THIS. IT'S A SHAME THAT THE U.S ALLOWS NISSAN VEHICLES IN THIS COUNTRY,BUT WHEN HUNDREDS OF INFINITI FX 35 OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY LIKE TOYOTA INITIALLY DID,IGNORE THIS SAFETY ISSUE! IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO BE PULLED OUT THEIR UNLOCK CAR AND RAPED OR KILLED FOR NISSAN TO RECALL THESE CARS? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTED IN 2008 FOR FIRST TIME, BUT WAS INTERMITTENT. BY SUMMER OF 2011 NONE OF THE DOORS/REAR HATCH UNLOCK OR LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. NEITHER USING THE FOB CLICKER, OR PRESSING ANY OF THE INTERIOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS ACTIVATES THE LOCKS. SINCE THERE IS ONLY ONE KEY HOLE, FOR ENTIRE VEHICLE, ON DRIVER'S SIDE, I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS REAR HATCH AREA, AND THIS IS WHERE I KEEP MY DOG AS WELL AS CAGED PET BIRDS WHEN TRANSPORTING. TO UNLOCK HATCH, I HAVE TO USE KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THEN REACH MY ARM BACK TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND UNLOCK MANUALLY. THEN I CAN ENTER THROUGH REAR PASSENGER DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) AND CRAWL OVER SEATS TO CLIMB INTO REAR HATCH AREA WHERE I CAN FINALLY TAKE OFF PROTECTIVE COVER FOR MANUAL HATCH RELEASE. I THEN HAVE TO EXIT VEHICLE THROUGH REAR HATCH TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING CLOSED DUE IT'S MOTORIZED CLOSING SYSTEM. I ALSO TRANSPORT CHILDREN, AND I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING GOING WRONG IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILS, OR KEY BREAKS. ONLY WAY TO ENTER VEHICLE IS TO SMASH THROUGH WINDOWS. DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURE CLAIM THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY COMMON FOR THE INFINITI FX35. *TR

ENGINE
I STARTED MY CAR UP ON THE MORNING OF 6/1/12 AND I NOTICE IT WAS SHAKING. I DROVE IT AROUND THE CORNER AND SHAKING GOT WORST AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PARKED THE CAR. CALLED INFINITY DISCUSSED PROBLEM AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THE SAMEDAY. TODAY I GET A CALL FROM THE SERVICES DEPT AND I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MISS FIRE AND OIL BUILD UP, AND IT WAS UNREPAIRABLE. AND I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES. IN 2011 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MY CAR WAS REPORTED THAT IS WAS MY COOLING SYSTEM. IT WAS REPAIRED. NOTHING WAS REPORTED THAT IS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. I FAXED THE SERVICES DEPT RECORDS FROM SEARS OF OIL CHANGES. I WENT TO SEVERAL OTHER PLACES SINCE 2004. BUT I HAVE NO RECORD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I BOUGHT MY CAR AT 52,000 MILES AND HAD A MINIMAL WARRANTY STILL IN PLACE. I NOTICED THAT A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE MY CAR LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. UNFORTUNATELY, BY THE TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THE WARRANTY WAS UP...STUPID ME! THEY WOULDN'T LOCK SOMETIMES, OR UNLOCK WHEN USING THE REMOTE, OR MANUALLY PRESSING THE BUTTONS NOT HE DOORS. THEY WOULD ALMOST GET STUCK, BECAUSE I COULD HERE A SOUND, BUT THEY WEREN'T MOVING BACK AND FOURTH. SEVERAL TIMES I WOULD LOAD GROCERIES INTO MY TRUNK, AND UPON GETTING HOME THE HATCH WOULD NOT REOPEN. IT APPEARS AS IF THERE IS A SHORT OR GLITCH SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, HOWEVER SEVERAL MECHANICS SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF THE ACTUATORS ARE GOING BAD ON ME. EACH DOOR ACTUATOR IS OVER $250 A PIECE, AND THE HATCH IS OVER $400. IT IS REALLY A SHAME, BECAUSE I LOVE ROAD TRIPS, AND I AM ALWAYS HESITANT TO USE MY TRUNK BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER WAY OF OPENING THE HATCH. I'M REALLY IRATE THAT UPON INVESTIGATING ONLINE I AM ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM....WHY ISN'T THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM BEING ADDRESSED? IT ISN'T LIKE WE AREN'T PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR A LUXURY CAR! ITS A SHAME BECAUSE OTHERWISE I AM HAPPY WITH MY CAR FOR THE MOST PART. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR IS LAZY TOO, BUT I HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN IN OTHER CARS TOO... *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY CAR QUIT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS POSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS THEY COULD OPEN THEIR DOOR. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN ALL THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN IN A PARKING LOT. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM CAUSED BY POOR QUALITY PARTS AND/OR WORKMANSHIP AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
