ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD, IT FEELS LIKE I AM GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY AND IT'S SCARY. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN CHANGING GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, ITS UNDER 100K MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M WAITING ON A RESPONSE.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. WE HAD THE DEALERSHIP DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND CAME BACK THAT THE OCCUPANT CONTROL SENSOR UNIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BAD AND THEY WANT 6400.00 TO FIX IT!! IRONICALLY, OTHER 2007-2008 INFINITY EX35 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, EXCEPT MINE DUE TO MY VIN! WHY WERE 200,00+ OTHER CARS FROM SAME YEAR AND MODEL RECALLED BUT NOT MINE? EVEN IF NEW PART WAS USED, IT STILL HAS THE SAME ERROR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOTALLY UNRESPONSIBLE OF THESE AUTO MANUFACTURERS TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS!

ENGINE
THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY STALLS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES, INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOTS, BRAKING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY OFF RAMPS AS WELL AS BRAKING ON A LEFT TURN THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO PROBLEMS THAT PRECIPITATED A RECALL OF OTHER INIFINITI MODELS, SAME MODEL YEAR, HOWEVER THE EX35 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR FIXING THE BELOW RECALL NOTICE. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERR1501 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER15V-054 HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING SOMETHING ELSE IN THE STEERING NEED TO BE FIXED BEFORE APPLYING THE FIX AND REFUSING TO DO THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THE PART WAS DAMAGED, BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY STEERING COLUMN COMPONENT.

AIR BAGS
THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR DOES NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION PROPERLY. EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, USING THE SEAT BELT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT OCCASIONALLY IS ILLUMINATED (INDICATING AIR BAG IS OFF). THIS APPEARS TO OCCUR RANDOMLY. I CANNOT FIND A PATTERN ON WHAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. WE FIRST NOTICED IT MORE THAN 2 YEARS AGO, BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL NOW, WITH ANOTHER RECALL ON OUR QX60.
