What owners wrote
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.
The brightness/intensity of the LED brake lights (and turn signals) on new infinity l45 vehicles is extremely high and is nearly blinding when following behind in another vehicle. They must be out of specification range.
Normal use of power door locks later the function becomes unreliable. Cannot effectively lock or unlock doors. Had one door lock repaired and immediately after that another lock has malfunctioned.
Front passenger door lock and rear driver's side door lock do not close and / or open when either door lock switch in car is pressed or door lock on remote is pressed. Am told it can be an actuator. Called the dealer to get repaired and told it is not a recall and want to charge hundreds of dollars, yet just from using search engine online there are hundreds of other customers experiencing the same issues on nissan maximas, altimas, muranos, infinity fx45, fx35, amongst many other "nissan" vehicles.
Driver side seat track loose and moves when braking or accelerating. Very unstable and has a hard click. Back door cannot be locked via the buttons and must be locked then unlocked manually.
3 of my vehicles doors do not unlock or lock using the key fob or the unlock/lock button on the door. This can be dangerous if you need to lock or unlock the doors in a hurry. It is a known issue in many infiniti fx35/45 of this generation.
