Hi guys. I just got a 2003 FX35 on 18" rims. I'm looking to upgrade to the OEM 20" rims and wheels. I know many of you are adding after market rims and may have the OEM 20"s available for sell. Let me know. I am interested

What is this Warning Sound by fvj48

I have a new '06FX45. 180 miles as of this morning. Driving into work I got a warning sound similar to what the old '03FX45 had when a tire was low. It lasted approximately 2 to 3 minutes and then stopped. No tires are low. I called the dealer and they couldn't explain it. Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone tell me what it might be?

06 FX35 Intelligent Cruise Control Failures by jimity

I purchased an FX35 about 3 months ago - my first Infiniti purchase. It has had a very dangerous problem of the intelligent cruise control failing, and the dealer has not been able to correct it with repeated attempts. I'm looking for others who may have had a similar problem. The Cruise control will work fine for almost 30 minutes, then it starts seeing cars which really are not there and goes into a panic and tries to stop the car on the freeway (cars have to change lanes to avoid hitting me). Sometimes it just doesn't see cars which are there and attempts to run into them until I manually slow the car down. I've documented this on video on numerous occasions and provided the video to the dealer to help in fixing it. The last repair attempt took 3 days, and even though the dealer put 168 miles on the car, it is still failing. Yesterday it started failing and now it knocks out the Lane Departure Warning System when it goes haywire - the Lane Departure light stays on and the system no longer beeps if I change lanes without a signal.
 
Any others have this problem, or any dealers have any suggestions on what may be causing this? My concerns are that this is very dangerous and after several attempts it has not been fixed. I'm worried that the problem is more then just the cruise control/lane departure system and could impact my safety features like the computer which controls the airbags. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim,
 
Thanks for sharing this problem with all of us and I am sorry that this is happening to your car. Unfortunately, I do not use the lazer guided cruise control past 30 minutes to have any input in this matter, other than to say it works on my car for now. I hope the dealership can figure something out for you and perhaps you can share it with us. So please keep us updated on this. Thank you.

I have an '04 FX35 RWD with tech pkg. While I have not had laser cruise control problems to the extent that you have, I have experienced sporadic problems. My unit will sometimes apply the brakes when there is no car in front of me. Although there is no set pattern, it has happened on the same location of a particular highway several times, which makes me think it may be picking up a stray signal of some sort. At other times it just seems to be a random event. Occasionally the unit will get tricked by upcoming overpasses (or signs?), but this has not been a real problem. The unit has never failed to recognize a car in front of me and maintain the correct distance. I have noticed that once the unit has acquired a vehicle target ahead and drops speed to maintain distance then you cannot lower the speed set point and have the car slow. The vehicle just keeps tracking the car ahead at its speed and maintains distance even though the set point may be 5 mph lower. Not sure this helps, but good luck with your problem.

I had experienced a bit of this, but to me it seemed that it was picking up the cars *next* to me out of it's periphery vision.
 
I have also had the LDW light stay on and not beep when veering out of the lane.. It has not done it in a few weeks, but it had been driving me crazy for a while.
 
Please keep us updated!

Towing with FX35 by subysti

I'm looking at purchasing an 03 FX35 for the purpose of towing 2 snowmobiles. I've heard people say that the Fx's are not very good for towing. What are your experiences with this. I'm also looking at RX300 which I'm told are a little better for towing. Any info would be great. thanks

What are you comparing to, AWD RX300 or RX330 to a FX35 AWD? Or are you comparing 2WD on both models? If it is a 2WD and if I remember it correctly, the RX300 is a front wheel drive similiar to a Toyota Highlander, then it can't be better than a RWD on the FX35. I believe they have the same towing capacity, 3500-lb.
