Electrical System Problems of Infiniti FX35 - part 2

I own a 2005 Infiniti Fx35. Within this last year, I have had problem with all 4 locking mechanisms including the rear hatch of my vehicle. This first began with the rt rear passenger side and has now affected the remainder of the door locks. The failure is that when the door lock button fails to either lock and or unlock any of the doors. This is a constant problem. When the door lock button is depressed there is a locking sound heard, but the action doesn't take place. When disarming the alarm with the key fob, and entering my vehicle I find it does not open my driver door. I must use the key to unlock the door. When manually attempting to lock the vehicle from the interior the door actuators fail to lock, thus I must manually lock each door. Currently there is no recall by Infiniti for this type of problem. It will cost upward of 1,000 to fix. This has not been the only problem. 1 month ago, the warning light on the airbag restraint system turned on and has been flashing. I do not know if this I will affect the deployment of the airbags in case of an accident. Researching and speaking to mechanics, the faulty part may be the body control module. As this part controls the signals sent to all door lock actuators as well as the airbag restraint system. My vehicle being out of warranty, Infiniti will not fix this issue and instead intends to charge for repairs. This should not be charged by them and should be stated as a recall item of the bcm, since it is unlikely that all four locks would fail at the same time. My biggest safety concern is for the airbag system, as I do not know if its useless in case of an accident. As for the locks failing, it is a great safety issue, as anyone could be a victim of a carjacking, and automatic locks are essential for personal safety. I live near the border and events like this are far too common. I would expect a basic item on a luxury vehicle to perform to its standards, as I would expect this company to honor repairs.

My car started rather violently lurching when I accelerated. This was followed by an apparent electronics failure in the car. The speedometer stopped working. Turn signals stopped working. Brake light came on by itself. Air conditioning went off. Various icon lights that I did not recognize came on. When I stopped the car it would not turn off. After a while the ac came back on and I was able to turn off the car. When I came back to the car to drive again later, after a short period of time the incident started again. I called the dealer in san antonio, gunn Infiniti, and they could not help me on the phone. I called their road number and they arranged to have the car towed to san antonio. They have had the car for over a week and have not figured out what has caused an apparent defect in the car's computer affecting the electronic syster. At no time did I feel that I was in danger while driving, although without a functioning turn signal and speedometer I could not have driven for long. As of Monday, March 8 they still have the car and have not been able to determine the cause of the failure and have not given me an estimated time when they think they will have the car back to me.

2009 Fx35 Infiniti more than 80% of the time I experience electrical shocks after exiting my car touching the door to close it. I contacted an Infiniti to investigate and was told they found grounds o. K. And suggested before exiting the car I should touch the inside of the door frame to discharge any electrical current especially if I were to gas up the car. I contacted infinity USA to see if they had a solution to this problem and after checking with there technical staff they said there was nothing they could do except recommend I go to another Infiniti dealer and have them investigate the problem. The bottom line is nothing was found and there was nothing further the could do. I don't like being shocked touching the exterior of my car but even a greater concern is the potential for a fire or worse yet explosion gasing up. Just to expand a bit on the shoes I wear at the time of these shocks it doesn't seem to matter if the souls are leather or rubber, either way it happens. Please advise me.

All four door locks as well as the hatch lock ceased to work properly (I. E. Would not lock or unlock when the automatic lock button was pushed. ) told that it was an actuater problem, and that all would need to be replaced (at great expense). This is an obvious safety issue. First, with children in the car, doors could not be locked or unlocked quickly in the case of an emergency. Also, when driving alone, security of the car was likewise compromised. Also troubling was that the sound of doors locking would still be heard, but the doors were not actually locked--thus leading drivers to think their car was secure when in fact it was not. This is a prevalent problem with these SUV's and should be considered for a component recall.

My daughter drove home from college and attempted to open the driver door. It was locked and would not open from the inside or the outside. If face none of the doors would open from inside or outside. She rolled town the window and climbed out. We took the auto to the dealer and they said that they had seen this before. . I thought it was a factory defect but alas $ 2,600 dollars later we learned that we must pay for the defect. I contacted Infiniti several times and they refused to acknowledge that this was a problem. This could have been a very dangerous situation in case of an accident, etc because you could not exit the auto nor could anyone else open the doors.

I bought my car at 52,000 miles and had a minimal warranty still in place. I noticed that a few months after the purchase date my car locks started acting up. Unfortunately, by the time I brought it to the dealer the warranty was up. . . Stupid me! they wouldn't lock sometimes, or unlock when using the remote, or manually pressing the buttons not he doors. They would almost get stuck, because I could here a sound, but they weren't moving back and fourth. Several times I would load groceries into my trunk, and upon getting home the hatch would not reopen. It appears as if there is a short or glitch somewhere along the line, however several mechanics say it sounds like all of the actuators are going bad on me. Each door actuator is over $250 a piece, and the hatch is over $400. It is really a shame, because I love road trips, and I am always hesitant to use my trunk because there isn't any other way of opening the hatch. I'm really irate that upon investigating online I am one of the many people having this problem. . . . Why isn't this expensive problem being addressed? it isn't like we aren't paying top dollar for a luxury car! its a shame because otherwise I am happy with my car for the most part. My driver side window motor is lazy too, but I have had that happen in other cars too. . .

Electric door activators don't work in warm weather creating a safety issue on access to vehicle as only driver door has key unlock capability. 2004 Infiniti Fx35. This is intermittent on all doors and have replaced some actuators with problem persisting.

All doors will not lock or unlock. Nissan / Infiniti has known about this issue since 2005 there are hundreds if not thousands of vehicles affected. I'm tired of going round and round with them to fix this safety issue.

Started in 2008 for first time, but was intermittent. By summer of 2011 none of the doors/rear hatch unlock or lock automatically. Neither using the fob clicker, or pressing any of the interior lock/unlock buttons activates the locks. Since there is only one key hole, for entire vehicle, on driver's side, I am unable to access rear hatch area, and this is where I keep my dog as well as caged pet birds when transporting. To unlock hatch, I have to use key to unlock driver's side door, then reach my arm back to the rear passenger door and unlock manually. Then I can enter through rear passenger door (driver's side) and crawl over seats to climb into rear hatch area where I can finally take off protective cover for manual hatch release. I then have to exit vehicle through rear hatch to keep it from shutting closed due it's motorized closing system. I also transport children, and I am extremely worried about something going wrong if the driver's side door fails, or key breaks. Only way to enter vehicle is to smash through windows. Dealership and manufacture claim this is not their problem even though this issue is extremely common for the Infiniti Fx35.

Infinity Fx35 with unreliable power door locks mainly in warm weather. This seems to be a wide spread problem and is a safety concern.

Dashboard: over a 3 and a half year period of owning my vehicle, my dash has recently (and quickly) began to bubble. The dealership has told me that this is happening to all Infiniti fx vehicles with black interior. I never used cleaners with checmicals that could have caused the damage. It just happened. I also am out of warranty based on mileage not years. Driver side door actuator: my actuator has failed I do not know if that is common.

Consumer complaint concerning the 2004 Fx35 alarm system. The consumer was informed that the windows in her truck were rolled down. When the consumer went to the truck she noticed that the door lock was broken and the inside of the vehicle was ransacked. Several items in the vehicle was stolen. The vehicle has an electronic mechanism that when the door locks are tampered with allows the front windows to roll down automatically.
