What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, she attempted to depress the brake pedal but her brakes failed as the check engine light illuminated. Due to the failure, the contact crashed into another vehicle in front of her. The air bags did not deploy upon impact.
The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver was transported to a hospital where injuries were reported. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and current mileage was 80,000.
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!
Driver Seat detached from floor causing great risk to operator, passengers and other vehicles or pedestrians. Seat frame broke previously and was reported to Jackie Cooper Infiniti. They requested I report it to corporate Infiniti which I did but any relief was denied.
The check engine light along with the slip and vdc light came on. This turns out to be a common problem with nissan and they recalled some cars for it. It's either the camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. This is a very serious situation. Im just glad I wasn't driving on the interstate when this happened.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 infiniti fx35. While the vehicle was stationary, the contact's wife noticed that the dashboard was sunken. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 infiniti fx35. The contact stated that there were bubbles in the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to jim lupient infiniti [phone], located at [address], golden valley, [ZIP]) where the technician stated that the dashboard needed to be replaced.
Melting dash-causing extreme glare. Had bubbled dash replaced 2011. Now it's melting when warm, after 7 years. Infiniti denies that there is any other issues. Simply, not true.
