1 Equipment problem of the 2010 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 05/24/2024

I am the owner of a 2010 Fx35 that started having problems in 2023 with just cutting off in the middle of driving. I took the vehicle to the dealership last year in which they told me the car required an update and the reprogrammed ecm and bumped up rpms. I started having the issue again and was almost in an accident as the car cut off in traffic as was driving and lost the ability to steer the car. I took the car back to the dealership complaining of the same issue. I was told that Infiniti was aware of the problem and had issued a TSB but not a recall to repair this problem. This is a safety hazard that should be investigated and a recall should be issued to repair ASAP.

6 Equipment problem of the 2011 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 08/02/2021

The dashboard on this vehicle seem to be failing in such a way that it has become extremely shiny & sticky and causes major visibility issues. Nothing that we have used to clean the dash works to remove the shininess. This has gotten so bad that the glare caused makes it very difficult to see out of the windshield.

7 Equipment problem of the 2011 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 05/17/2021

All lugs on the right rear wheel have snapped off. At first it was one which was repaired. Then three at once broke off and caused damage. After it was repaired again the fifth and final one broke off.

8 Equipment problem of the 2009 Infiniti FX35

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.

10 Equipment problem of the 2005 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 05/04/2019

Rear passenger door lock actuator problem. We had been having issues with the door not being able to open. There were times that we had our 7 months old daughter on that side and we couldn't open the door. We can hear it clicks but not opening. This is a safety hazard especially if all doors can't be open because of the faulty actuators!.

11 Equipment problem of the 2009 Infiniti FX35

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.

12 Equipment problem of the 2004 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 10/31/2018

The dash board is melting showing bubbling (ie:popcorn like boils) over entire dash board. I am not the original owner, however, several reports of this same concern as a recall issue.

14 Equipment problem of the 2012 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 06/18/2017

While driving in the middle lane on a five lane freeway, a piece of debris (about 1x2 ft) was bouncing from lane to lane. It bounced into my lane and went under my 2012 infinite Fx35. I heard a loud bang and my airbags ejected open. My whole front windshield blew white, leaving me unable to see the road. Essentially, I was driving blindly at highway speed on the freeway with moving cars all around me. It's a wonder I didn't slam on my brakes, swerve or plow into the cars that I was behind, in front of, or to the side of me on the freeway. To think about the catastrophic consequences! whited out front window, large impeding airbag in my face, but miraculously, I managed to safely maneuver across two lanes of traffic! the last lane turned out to be the exit off the freeway, where there was a gas station. When we stopped there, my three passengers and I got out of the car and immediately walked around it, looking to see what damage was visible on my Infiniti. It looked perfect: no signs of external damage whatsoever. No collision. No damage. A defective and hypersensitive sensor is something that needs to be looked into. Was this an isolated incident? or is this something that should be considered an Infiniti recall? the events in my case happened so quickly that had we had an accident, I would never have known what had come first, the accident, or the airbag. My auto insurance company was shocked that this occurred when there was absolutely no damage to the outside of my Infiniti. The interior however, was another thing altogether � the airbags, the dashboard, the computer system, the seat belts, etc. , it was unbelievable. They decided to do a thorough investigation. Their conclusion? my Infiniti deemed "totaled" was zero my fault.

15 Equipment problem of the 2008 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 06/05/2017

I'm one of many experiencing the bubbling/sticky dashboard problem that has become sononomous w/ Infiniti/Nissan autos from 04-2010. The sticky/bubbling area has become a safety hazard from glare & distraction that could result in injury/death to others. There was an 8 yr warranty extension from date of manufacturing but some of us purchased vehicle outside of that timeline & have been turned away by corporate during many attempts @ getting resolution. The part itself is very expensive along w/ labor. There have been numerous times where the bubbling/stickiness has caused a distraction & I'm asking that Infiniti/Nissan do the right thing & include an unlimited recall to fix this issue that has become a major concern.

16 Equipment problem of the 2007 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 05/01/2017

Dashboard is melting. Concerned about dangerous chemicals. The dashboard is a known problem to Infiniti and warranty was extended without our knowledge or notification but has expired. I think a formal recall is warranted for safety from fumes of melted plastic.

17 Equipment problem of the 2008 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 04/01/2017

The dashboard of the vechile is melting and is starting to do so at a rapid pace.

18 Equipment problem of the 2012 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 12/09/2016

Purchase the vehicle late February 2016 and I began having engine problems in June 2016. The car has acceleration problems as well as stalls periodically. The car has been in the shop 3 times for repair as of date and is scheduled for 4th repair on December 19, 2016. I drive the vehicle as less as possible out fear for my family and I safety.

Melting dashboard makes reflection on the front windshield.

20 Equipment problem of the 2006 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 09/01/2016

I received a letter in the mail from Infiniti indicating an important safety recall of the passenger side airbag. The letter indicated I would receive a second notice soon. I waited two weeks and did not receive an additional notice. I called the main national consumer affairs department and a case was opened. I have since called five additional times and received no call back. Nothing has been done to correct this important recall. My case number 23964340. This has happened in the past regarding the bubbling of my dashboard. This also was a recall and when I finally called because I did not receive a notice of this problem, I was told that recall had expired so I no longer could take advantage of it. I continue to get the runaround every single time I call or email. I can never get answers or anything fixed. This is incredibly frustrating especially when the letter indicated that passengers should not ride in the passenger seat because of this recall and danger. Again I have not heard anything from Infiniti as promised or when I have called. The last time I spoke with a representative was on September 8. Please help. Thank you.

21 Equipment problem of the 2006 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

Dashboard has bubbles all over it producing a terrible glare when driving in the daylight or at nighttime creating a driving hazard. Infinity has admitted it is a defect but refuses to repair it.

22 Equipment problem of the 2009 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 07/09/2016

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

23 Equipment problem of the 2007 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

The entire dash of my vehicle is covered with bubbles because of an inferior product in production. These become worse every summer because of the heat and the dash becomes a gooey mess. How can I be sure that the airbag will deploy or deploy correctly when this mess is all over it? I was never made aware of any recall, but when contacting the company was told it was past deadline and they would do nothing. I want to be sure that if the airbag is needed, that it will work correctly.

24 Equipment problem of the 2007 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Bubbling dashboard.

25 Equipment problem of the 2006 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 03/01/2016

My 2006 fx 35 dashboard has bubbled. It is so ugly that we had to buy a covering to cover it up. I am very disappointed that this is happening to a car that we spent a lot of $ on and is supposed to be a "luxury" car -- my husband goggled and found there was a recall in 2015 on 2006 infinity fx 35 and also found that Infiniti admitted to using a poor material on their dashboards which was the reason they are all completely falling apart and bubbling up. Tony johns called immediately to see how we could go about getting the vehicle fixed and was advised the recall expired in 2015 -- and that a letter was never sent to me, it went to the original owner (we bought it in 2015) and there was nothing they would do for us. This is the worst customer service we have ever received -- Infiniti should take pride in their vehicles and should own their mistake and pay for all customers who have been affected -- they then asked him which Infiniti dealer he went to for servicing to which he replied I have gone to the one in annapolis, maryland. To replace this dashboard, it will cost around $1,500 or more -- I will never purchase another Infiniti again if Infiniti doesn't do the right thing and help out their customers -- inadequate notifications were sent out and were never followed up on, I was never advised anything of this by my local dealer, and now I am being left to pick up the pieces financially. I am disgusted by the poor customer service we have received and the unwillingness to help us as I am not a "valuable enough customer" since I don't utilize the dealership for my services -- if Infiniti doesn't do the right thing and pay for the dashboard that was destroyed by their poor materials that they used, not because of the fault of its drivers, sincerely, phyllis johns.

26 Equipment problem of the 2004 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 01/05/2016

The dashboard melts, cause by extreme heat in the summer, it would seem like the dashboard was made from cheap material that can only withstand very low temperature. My dashboard has bubble all over and looks awful. How can such global respectable company allow this to happen. I spoke to several people who own this car and they have the same complain. I can barely touch or put anything on my dashboard especially in the summer when the temperature is hot.

27 Equipment problem of the 2008 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 01/01/2016

The Infiniti's first generation Fx35 are know to have melting dash because Infiniti used inferior materials. Its melting and poses a safety hazard while driving. Infiniti, Nissan has acknowledged there was a problem, but did not do a proper recall such as Toyota for their same issue with their melting dashes.

28 Equipment problem of the 2005 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 12/18/2015

Takata recall my dashboard has bubbled and it is very hot when you touch it. I called them (infinity ) they told me they can not do any thing for me . I need your help I want my car to get fixed.

29 Equipment problem of the 2005 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 07/22/2015

I currently own an 2005 Infiniti Fx35. On July 22, 2015 I was leaving the red light my vehicle was hesitate about pulling off. I almost got reared ended. I saw that my a/t (auto transmission) light was on. I found the nearest part stores. They said it was the valve body in the transmission. They next day I took it to the transmission shop. The cost was estimated at $3500. My car only has about 131000. I maintain service on my vehicle. I have done research online and there are numerous of Infiniti owners that's having the same problem. The forum is overflowing with this same problem. I know my car is 10 years old but this seems to a recurring problem for the Fx35 no matter the year. Infiniti cars are expensive to be made so cheaply. A person could be very easily rear ended due to the car starting off in high gear. This issue need to be bought to someone attention. I think the problem is being overlooked. What more can an owner do the timeline is flooded with complaints. Auto transmission should definitely be added to the recall list. They need to be held responsible. Feeling rip off.

30 Equipment problem of the 2006 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 06/30/2015

The dashboard of the vehicle has started to melt/bubble up. This has resulted in a very shiny/sticky dash which on sunny days reflects light back up onto the inside of the windshield creating a very distracting/obstructing glare making it difficult to see the road. Infinity extended their warranty from 2010 up to 2014 to replace the dashboard but will now do nothing to correct this safety hazard even though it did not appear on my car till this year.

31 Equipment problem of the 2004 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 04/23/2015

Had car checked by mechanic who said when checking under the car, he found it rusted to the point which it could become unsafe. I checked online for recalls. Found recalls for Nissan pathfinders and Infiniti i30. Not the fx. However there were many forums of other Fx35 owners who also claimed their cars had rusted under the car. My car has very low mileage for the year. It is in new england, but my driveway is hot topped and always cleaned to the bare pavement. I do not use rock salt. I also live and work in my home, so I am not on the road a lot. I am passed the time on the warranty, but my mileage is low. Spoke to someone at Infiniti, but she didnt believe I would be eligible to have it fixed unless there was a recall. Nissan had this problem with other cars, and stands to reason that it could also apply to this model. Could you please investigate? this is a very expensive car. Thank you.

32 Equipment problem of the 2006 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 01/25/2015

The dash is bubbling. Called infinity. They had a recall before I bought the vehicle for a replacement dash but will not cover it now.

33 Equipment problem of the 2004 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

The dashboard on this vehicle is severely deteriorating. 99% of the dashboard is has began to melt and developed medium to large size air bubbles. When it is sunny outside the bubbles create a glare on the windshield causing driving distraction. From researching this matter, there are many customer who are having the same issue.

34 Equipment problem of the 2007 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 12/01/2014

I recently bought a 2007 Infiniti Fx35 and the dashboard is completely melted away. It's sticky and there are cracks from the driver side to the passenger side. This is dangerous as it can cause the airbag to deploy! the previous owner has a dashboard cover on it which I can't remove and take pictures of because it's stuck by the melting material.

35 Equipment problem of the 2008 Infiniti FX35

Failure Date: 08/15/2014
