AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST FOR AIRBAG DEFECT BUT NOT ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT. YOU STATE THAT REPLACEMENT IS CENTERED IN REGIONS WITH WARM TEMPERATURE THAT CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING THAT IN ITSELF DOESN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE THE MAIN REASON FOR THE RECALL IS BECAUSE PIECES OF METAL FRAGMENTS ARE DEPLOYED WHEN THE AIRBAG MISFIRES AND PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE THOSE SHARP FRAGMENTS ARE DEPLOYED OUTWARD IN A HIGH RATE OF SPEED SO WHAT'S GOING ON YOUR SUPPOSE TO LOOKOUT FOR ARE SAFETY BUT IT SEEMS FROM YOUR ACTION SO FAR THAT YOU CARE MORE FOR THESE COMPANIES THAT KEEP USING CHEAP PARTS SACRIFICING SAFETY ???????????? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE TWO YEARS MY DASHBOARD STARTED FOAMING WITH AIR BUBBLES,AT THE BEGINNING IT WAS SMALL FEW AIR BUBBLES BUT NOW IT IS SPREADING ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF DEFECT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHETHER IT IS HEALTHY TO DRIVE THIS KIND OF CAR. CONTACTED INFINITY AND BBB WITH NEGATIVE RESPONSE. THE RESPONSE WAS SINCE IT IS OVER 8 YEARS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IF IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A DEFECT WHY THE COMPANY GETS AWAY WITH SUCH AN ANSWER. IN ADDITION TO THIS DEFECT MY FOUR DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING ESPECIALLY IN HOT CLIMATE.COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THE DEALER THEY WANTED A $2000 CHARGE. I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT WEAR AND TEAR , IT IS ABOUT DEFECT. ALL I WAS ASKING THEM WAS TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. I DROVE TOYOTA CAMRY FOR 13 YEARS ,NEVER SAW THIS KIND OF DEFECT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED (2003 FX 35) IN 2010 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT SEEMS TO BE SOME VERY COMMON COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE . DEFECTS THAT THE LOCAL DEALERS (MCALLEN , TEXAS) HAVE REFUSED TO ADDRESS. 1) CRACKED DASH. SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE DASHES. 2) FAULTY CAR LOCK ACTUATORS. THIS SEEMS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THE PROBLEMS CAN BE SO PREVALENT (CHECK THE WEB) , BUT YET NISSAN FAILS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DASH NOT BEING A HAZARD , HOWEVER, THE LOCKS CAN BE. I CANT EVEN OPEN MY HATCH, AND THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LUXURY VEHICLE? *TR

IN THE SUMMER OR FALL OF 2012, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE OF THE HORN, WASN'T WORKING NOR WAS MY REMOTE FOE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. A FEW DAYS LATER I SEEN A CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE AIR VENT. NOW THE CRACKS HAVE SPREADED TO OTHER AREAS OF MY DASHBOARD. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS IN THE PAST ABOUT REPAIRING/OR REPLACE DASHBOARD. *TR

AIR BAGS
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
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

ENGINE
THIS VEHICLE RANDOMLY AND SUDDENLY HAS ENGINE FAILURE. THIS ALONE SHOULD REALLY NOT BE MUCH OF AN ISSUE EXCEPT THIS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING AND BRAKES AS SOON AS THE ENGINE QUITS. I HAVE HAD 3 NEAR MISSES WITH ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO COMPUTER CODES LEFT BEHIND TO DETECT WHY THE STALLS ARE OCCURRING. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS SAVED ME IS THAT THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED AGAIN IN NEUTRAL WHICH RESTORES STEERING AND BREAKING POWER. IT IS A SCARY AND UNSAFE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME AND NO BODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND A CURE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL INDICATOR DID NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK AND WOULD FLUCTUATE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, SO I NEVER REALLY KNEW HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. I COULDN'T US THE THE FUEL ECONOMY/MILES TO EMPTY CALCULATOR BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO BE BASING MILES TO EMPTY ON WHAT IT WAS REGISTERING, NOT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL ACTUALLY PRESENT. IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN FIXED ITSELF, AND NOW THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE READ - WHY NO RECALL???? *TR

STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD HAS EXTENSIVE BUBBLING. THE BUBBLING STARTED ABOUT 4 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING, WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT PROBLEM BECAUSE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEN SEVERAL YEARS LATER WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY MENTIONED THAT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD BEEN ISSUED. DILEMMA THE CAR WAS NOW OUTSIDE THIS PERIOD AS WELL AND WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. TRIED TO WORK WITH NISSAN/INFINITI TO NO AVAIL. NOTICED IN PAPER AN ARTICLE DATED 5/24/2014 THAT JURY ORDERS NISSAN TO PAY DAMAGES FOR FAULTY DASHBOARD ON INFINITI'S 2003-2008 MODEL FX35. CALLED NISSAN/INFINITI ABOUT THE DASHBOARD AGAIN. STILL NOTHING. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DASHBOARD BUBBLING PROBLEM IS DUE TO INFERIOR GLUE. PLEASE NOTE AS INCIDENT DATE IS REQUIRED I PICKED A DATE NOT NECESSARILY THE FIRST DATE WE NOTICED THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 INFINITY FX-35 STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. MANY ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO UNLOCK HAS FAILED. THEREFORE, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE INFINITY DEALERSHIP IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA FOR REPAIRS. I DISAGREE WITH HAVING TO PAY OVER $400 TO HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKING SYSTEMS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH OTHER INFINITY FX-35 OWNERS. *TR
