Four problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2005 Infiniti FX35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On Monday, June 20 as I was driving up the ramp to go to the gw bridge, there was a lot of traffic and we were in a slow motion. I was pressing the brakes to avoid hitting the other car but my car kept on rolling and therefore it hit the bumper of the Acura car in front of me. What I do not understand was the brakes were serviced 3 months before, but still it did not work and I was very sure that I was pressing the brakes and not the gas pedal but still it did not stop!.
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.
I have had consistent problems with Infiniti. My brakes constantly make a squealing noise at slow speeds. I've spent about $2,000 to try to correct the problem with numerous visits to the dealer, only to be told that this "happens with all the fx models". I've contacted Infiniti executive dept and they sent a technician to the dealership to take my braking system apart. I was told in the end that it was my driving habits and because I live near the beach, the salt water air interferes with the brakes. What!?!? Infiniti did nothing to try to research when I said other owners have this same problem, they basically left me hanging. I will never purchase another Nissan or Infiniti. I've been trying to get my local news station involved to get some media coverage on this, I know I'm not the only owner with this problem. I would like other people to speak up to Infiniti so they could possibly be overwhelmed with this issue and be forced to recall the vehicles until the problem is solved.
I purchase a 2005 Infiniti fx 35 in November 2005. After 1000 mile the brakes started squeaking when backing up (whether cold or hot). At approximately 5000 miles riverside Infiniti (purchase vehicle from) installed TSB upgraded brakes. The squeaking went away for about 1000 miles and it came back with a vengeance. The dealer did not and currently does not have an answer. I currently have 15k miles on the car and now I am receiving a groaning metal to metal sound when I apply brakes at very low speeds. I took the car Infiniti of escondido and they stated my tires are "cupping" and I did not have my wheels balanced during my last rotation and that is the reason why I am having metal to metal noise? please help in resolving this issue.
