| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | 2006 INFINITI FX35. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MUFFLER AND HEAT SHIELD COVERING CATALYTIC CONVERTER CORROSION AND RUST. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE MUFFLER RUSTING AND THE HEAT SHIELD FALLING OFF, WAS DUE TO MOISTURE AND ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS. THE CONSUMER STATED A FEW WEEKS AGO, HIS WIFE FOUND PIECE OF METAL UNDER THE VEHICLE, IN THEIR DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS BADLY RUSTED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THE PART CAME FROM THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND NOT HAVING THE PART COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND CREATE HEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED, SO THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER HAD TO PURCHASE THE WHOLE PIECE, WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. HE WAS INFORMED THE OTHER PARTS WOULD EVENTUALLY FALL OFF AS WELL. INFINITI AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ONLY, AND THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTS. THE REPAIR WAS $200 AND THE PARTS WERE $2,000. UPDATED 08/15/13 UPDATED 08/21/13 |
| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WOULD SEEM TO HAVE THE WOBBLY SOUND AND FEEL AFTER GOING 15 MILES AN HOUR. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME RECALL OF 11/14/2003 AND NOW HAPPENING TO MY 2006 FX35 INFINITI SUV WHERE THE SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC FOUNDATION COMPONENT:DISC;CALIPER. THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED, THIS COULD RESULT IN ONE OR BOTH OF THE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS LOOSENING. IF THIS OCCURS, IT WOULD ALLOW THE CALIPER TO ROTATE OR SEPARATE FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKET. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE TO FAIL, REDUCING THE VEHICLE'S ABILITY TO STOP, IT COULD ALSO DAMAGE THE WHEEL, CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. EITHER ONE OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR |
