| 2003 | SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST | THE SEATS ON THIS AND TWO OTHER FX35'S WE OWN FROM INFINITI "ROCK" BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING. THE SEAT POSITION IS NOT STABLE. THIS IS ALSO WIDELY REPORTED WITH THE G35 AND INFINITI CANNOT FIX IT. I BELIEVE IT TO BE CRITICALLY DANGEROUS. THE SWAY BACK TO FRONT IS SUDDEN AND SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO JAR THE DRIVER CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. MY SEAT LITERALLY ROCKS ABOUT 1/3" BACK AND FORTH LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT DOES EXACTLY THE SAME THING. IN THE SNOW I CAN IMAGINE THE SUDDEN SWAY TO BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT A DRIVER MAY LOSE CONTROL. I ALSO WONDER ABOUT CRASH DURABILITY. AS YOU KNOW ANY INCREASED TOLERANCE WOULD ALLOW AN IMPACT TO CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO THE SEAT FRAME OF THE DRIVER, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE SEAT TO DISLODGE. *LA |
| 2004 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | 3 DOORS ON MY 2004 FX35 WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE-THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. FIRST WEEK IN SEPT I TRIED TO OPEN BACK DOOR TO RETRIEVE MY BOOKS, ETC AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I LEANED IN FROM DRIVER SIDE AND NOTICED DOOR WAS UNLOCKED SO I TRIED TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE-IT WOULD NOT OPEN,. MY AUTO HAS ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK TO DEALER AND HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. HE KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND SAID IT TOOK THEM ALL DAY TO OPEN THE 2 BACK DOORS. HE SAID ALL FOR ON MY ACCULATOS(SOMETHING LIKE THAT) FAILED AND THEY REPLACED THEM AT CHARGE OR OVER $ 2000.00. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN THE AUTO IF THE DOORS CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED? I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MFG AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY OVER $ 2000.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT CAUSE. RARELY AS ANYONE EVER RODE IN MY BACK SEATS AS USUALLY I AM A LONE RIDER OR DRIVER IN THE INFINITI. *TR |
