TRUNK, PASSENGER DOOR, AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR DO NOT LOCK UNLOCK WHEN USING REMOTE AND CONTROLS ON DRIVERS DOOR 1. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. *TR

I DO SEE MULTIPLE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE FIND MY ISSUES HERE.......ISSUE 1: THE GAS GAUGE IMPROPERLY REPRESENTS THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK AND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ARE CONSTANTLY PRESENT: 1) A FULL TANK IS NEVER SHOWN VIA THE GAUGE 2) THE GAS GAUGE SPORADICALLY JUMPS AROUND REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK 3) THE "EMPTY" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS AS MUCH AS 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AS THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD SON IN MY VEHICLE A LOT AND WHAT IF MY CAR WOULD STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY?? IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I AM ABLE TO KEEP CALCULATIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF MILES PER GALLON MY CAR USUALLY GETS. I WAS GOING 30 MPH AND TURNED FROM A LIGHT AND DIDN'T REALIZE MY GAS WAS AS LOW AS IT WAS AND MY CAR STALLED OUT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ISSUE:2 THE LOCKS FAIL TO REACT TO THE LOCK UNLOCK FUNCTION AND THE BEEP SOUND DOESN'T GO OFF. *TR

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. *TR

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... *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY CAR QUIT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS POSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS THEY COULD OPEN THEIR DOOR. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN ALL THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN IN A PARKING LOT. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM CAUSED BY POOR QUALITY PARTS AND/OR WORKMANSHIP AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

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

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.
