2 Body problem of the 2009 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 11/15/2019

In November of 2019, while driving my son to school. The passenger door locks wouldn't allow the door to open. He had to climb over my seat in order to exit the vehicle. The door has not opened since. I've called several Infiniti dealers since last Nov and they all have referred me to a body shop to fix the problem. All 3 body shops I've contacted had no idea how to fix the problem or how to get the door open without doing major damage to the vehicle. I ha e filed a complaint with Infiniti customer relations, they told me that since the car is out of warranty they will not help w any repair cost. I have also spoken with a design engineer from Nissan about this issue. He confirmed that this is a major safety hazzard that needs addressed immediately. Upon research in the Infiniti forums and other websites I notice that I am not the only one with this issue. Several people have experienced the same issue. Today I was finally able to contact a head tech at louisville Infiniti. He said the only way to open this door is to take a let bar and destroy the inside of the door in order to break the latch. This will break the window as possibly damage the internal frame structure. There is also no guarantee of the fix nor could he estimate the cost of getting the door to even open.

Failure Date: 02/05/2018

I opened the sunroof while driving about 60-70 mph on the highway and the glass of the sunroof completely flew off the car and went up in the air about 30-40 feet. The break or separation of the glass from the roof was clean so there was no damage to the sunroof mount/bracket which still operates like it should without the glass. This is vary dangerous as it could kill someone driving behind me. My insurance company said that the sunroof glass should not break apart from the mount of any vehicle, that I should contact the manufacture. I called Infiniti consumer affairs and they do not want to do anything for me.

When second rear door broke off. . I knew something wasnt right. I call Infiniti. . They replied stating that there wasno recall. The driver side handle then broke off 2 years ago. . Then finally front passenger last month. I cant believe it. When you spend money on an "luxury" vehicle, all four of the door ahndles should not be coming off.

31 Body problem of the 2005 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 06/06/2008

Ok this complaint is about the melting dashboard on mi vehicle is not only dangerous to drive when the sun is in front of you because of the glare but cosmetically looks disgusting, every time someone gets in my car asks me if my car has some kind of deceased or they even mention chickenpox as a joke. I contacted Infiniti about the issue end they told me that I just missed the recall and they couldn't do anything about it. Well the problem is still there and is a factory defect that not only me but thousands has the same problem. I ask you for your help to see if this problem could be resolved. I heard that Mazda has recall all their defective dashboard and I think that every other company such as luxury Infiniti should stand behind their product. I am a family man with two kids 12 and 7 and I would hate to think that something can happened while driving with this dashboard that maximizes the glare due to its condition. I took a few pictures to show you the glare and the defect. Also this happened in new york where I reside and every summer it gets worst and worst.
