general problems of the 2009 Infiniti FX35

Three problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2009 Infiniti FX35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2021

The car stalls. The power steering no longer works when the car stalls. I have been in traffic, multiple times, when the car stalled. It creates an unsafe situation because the traffic behind me has to apply the brakes or swerve around me. Long ago took the car to Infiniti and they did a $300+ 3 point fuel injection clean, etc. They could not duplicate the problem and there was no code, so they said they couldn't help but the 3 point service might resolve the problem. They also told me I needed some updates, 3 I thing at $165 each!? when I asked if that would resolve the problem, they couldn't say. I see this issue on Infiniti forums but no recall. This problem does not produce a code and no warning signs/lights. I really like the car but these issues don't make it fun or safe to drive. I'm hopeful to get this problem resolved. Thank you.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2019

I was driving my car on the expressway today and my sunroof exploded. I did not experience any falling debris or other issue that would cause this to happen - the roof simply exploded. Glass went everywhere. The sound of the explosion sounded like a gunshot and I immediately pulled to the side of the highway to determine what had occurred. There was no visible damage to tires or the body so I slowly began driving on the shoulder to reach a exit near by. As I began moving I could hear the infiltration of air overhead and opened the inside door panel of the sunroof, the entire window was missing and the frame for the sunroof was mangled. The highway is 65 mph and at that rate of speed, an unexpected explosion on the car could have led to a significant accident. Furthermore, anyone in the back would have at a minimum been covered with glass. I have contacted my insurance company and am in the process of having my car towed to a facility to have it repaired. I will be able to provide photos and insurance evidence of the event if needed.

Dashboard very shiny, sticky to touch, feels like its melting, in other words like a chewed up gum.
