A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 infiniti fx 3.5. 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. A witness informed the contact that the brake lights were on but noticed that her vehicle was not coming to a stop.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 infinity fx35. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH in inclement weather, the vehicle lost control and crashed into a rail. 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.
My 2007 infinity fx-35 steering wheel is stuck in the locked position. Many attempts to get it to unlock has failed. Therefore, I had it towed to the infinity dealership in montgomery, alabama for repairs. I disagree with having to pay over $400 to have what appears to be a factory defect with the ignition switch and steering wheel locking systems. It is my understanding that this is an on-going problem with other infinity fx-35 owners.
Vehicle was driving at 55-60MPH, immediately lost all power and rough engine shake on the highway. Managed to pull off to the side. Opened the hood to find the catalytic converters both smoking and glowing red from excess fuel being dumped into them due to a very common and well known bad grounding issue. Worried they would cause a fire I evacuated my family and call a tow truck.
