| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND WE REALIZED THE + BATTERY CABLE WAS NOT MAKING GOOD CONTACT WITH THE BATTERY. WE HAVE NEVER MESSED WITH THE BATTERY. SINCE THEN THE HORN WILL NOT WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS THE IPDM (INDEPENDENT P? DISBURSEMENT MODULE) AND IT COSTS $775 FOR THE PART. WHEN A CAR IS COMING INTO MY LANE, OR BACKING FROM PARKING SPACE TOWARDS ME, I HAVE NO WAY TO WARN THEM AND PROTECT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A REPLACEMENT PART CHEAPER AND CAME UPON MANY BLOGS OF OWNERS OF 2004 FX35 WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2008 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I PURCHASED AN INFINITI FX35 FROM A LOCAL DEALER, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I NOTED SOME CONDENSATION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT, WHICH I QUICKLY POINTED OUT TO THE DEALER. I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL MY SALESMAN TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. HE WAS ALWAYS CONVENIENTLY UNAVAILABLE. I COULD NEVER GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR 45 DAYS, AT WHICH TIME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONDENSATION IS SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OR ROADWAY AHEAD OF YOU. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. MEANWHILE THEY HAVE PLACED A STATE INSPECTION STICKER ON THIS VEHICLE. OTHER INSPECTION STATIONS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PASS THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. THIS IS IN TOTAL VIOLATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL SAFETY LAWS AND LOCAL INSPECTION CRITERIA. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ELDERLY PARENT AND CANNOT TAKE HER TO ANY DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL EITHER WHEN IT IS DARK OR OVERCAST. THE DEALER KEEPS REPEATING 30 DAYS. IN ADDITION THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE DEVELOPED A FURTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT LEAVING ME WITH NO NIGHT TIME ILLUMINATION, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AT NIGHT. NO HIGH OR LOW BEAM ON ONE SIDE AND A DISPERSED AND DIFFUSED LIGHT ON THE LEFT. *JS |
