#3347 of 3371 Re: Incorrect Speedometer/Odometer [cassy1028] by wolfie1 Aug 18, 2009 (8:07 am)
Replying to: cassy1028 (Aug 10, 2009 9:11 am) I brought up the issue of my fast speedo the last time I was in for service. There comment simply was "we won't do anything because your GPS is aftermarket". In other words, they didn't even acknowledge an issue.   My FX now has 22k miles on it, and by my calculation, the mileage on the speedo is now about 1800 miles over true mileage. At 20 cents/mile on the overage rate for leases, thats $360 worth of overcharging.   I have 2 years left on my lease yet..so still have time to rattle the cage at Infiniti more.   btw, for the numbers...when my Garmin 205 gps says 65, my fx speedo says 71.

Replying to: wolfie1 (Aug 18, 2009 8:07 am) I've noticed some error on my FX45 (compared to what my Garmin indicates) but not to that extent, maybe 3 mph tops which is pretty normal. What tire size (diameter) are you running? Mine are 265/50-20's which have a 30.5" diameter.

Replying to: wolfie1 (Aug 18, 2009 8:07 am) I am trying to turn in my lease (and get a new 09) with their pull ahead program because Im way over milage because of the inaccurate odometer. Last August when I reported the problem, my dealer told me that a GPS is the most accurate measure of speed and milage because it is triangulated by satelite. They also acknowledged the spedometer issue and said that Infiniti knew about it but had no fix for it. My garmin 350 reads 5mph slower exactly, and is off 3.2% - over 4% on milage, depending on the kind of driving I do.   I spoke with infiniti consumer affairs today who is supposed to call me by the end of the day tomorrow. They acted like they never heard of the issue, and I told them that Ive read blogs on line from several customers with the same exact problem. Again, they acted shocked.   I will let you know if they do anything for me. What they are doing is consumer fraud, which in my state carries treble and punitive damages. They know about the problem and continue to rip off customers, 20 cents at a time. I also invite other FX owners/leasers to reply to this if they have similar issues. If they refuse to do anything, I will probably start a separate forum for feedback. It seems to be a problem on the vehicles with the 20in tires, but it may be others.   Ill keep you posted.

Replying to: JBaumgart (Aug 18, 2009 12:47 pm) Read my last post. I have the same tires. Set your trip odometer and your garmin and see if its inaccurate. Do this on a longer trip because its usually off by a few tenths of a mile per mile, which adds up. It also fluctuates depending on the type of driving you do.

Replying to: cassy1028 (Aug 19, 2009 8:01 am) I to have the 20's on my 08 FX35. I am taking a trip this weekend...I will reset the trip odometer on both my GARMIN gps and the fx and see what the difference is over 500+ miles.
#3352 of 3371 FX 45 has bad wheel bearings by kgoeller Aug 25, 2009 (5:51 am)
FYI: I am on my third (3) yes ! 3rd wheel bearing replacement. Only one more to go.Infinity has not recalled anything yet, but I urge those owners who think you are getting excessive tire noise to check the wheel bearings. Nissan has re-called a wheel bearing issue in the Nissan Altima last year. each one is about $1,000
#3353 of 3371 Re: Incorrect Speedometer/Odometer [cassy1028] by bongeez Sep 26, 2009 (6:53 pm)
Replying to: cassy1028 (Aug 19, 2009 7:54 am) I currently have the same issue with my 07 Fx35. My wife is always telling me to slow down due to the wrong speedometer reading. It has a 10mph discrepancy.   As a matter of fact, I passed in front of a police car with scanner with my speed reading at 83 yet the police officer did not even budge.   Do you get any response from Infinity customer service from you last inquiry?
#3354 of 3371 Re: fx dash defects...don"t purchase an infiniti [tjernigan] by jpjacobs77 Sep 28, 2009 (4:53 pm)
Replying to: tjernigan (Sep 27, 2008 6:24 am) I see this post was about a year ago, but I am curious to hear the outcome of your inquiry with Infiniti. My husband has a 2005 FX45 that just surpassed the 60K mile mark and had started with the bubbling on the dash. It is spreading rapidly and we fear that Infiniti will say it is out of warranty. It looks terrible and is very disappointing for an automobile that he bought brand new and paid so much for to have such a problem. If you have had any success in disputing I would like to hear about it. Replies to this message: manifoso (Oct 05, 2009 10:21 am) nolic (Oct 09, 2009 11:16 am)
#3355 of 3371 music box question by squishles10 Oct 02, 2009 (8:57 am)
We just got our fx last week and can't seem to get the music box to work. Does it not read mp3 cds? And it doesn't read off the CF card? If that's the case, it's pretty worthless.   Also, how do you access all the nav options while driving? I only get 5 options. I can get to a gas station while driving but not a hospital. This can't be right, or if it is it's really not well thought through.

It seems that the 2010 FX35's are on sale now at Infiniti dealerships. I've included an update for 2010 model below (as of 10/2/09). Does anyone have a link to a "build your own" website for the 2010 model?   From InfinitiUSA.com 10/2/09:   Infiniti today announced pricing on the 2010 Infiniti FX, which is on sale now at Infiniti retailers nationwide.   The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP)* for the three available 2010 Infiniti FX models are:   FX35 RWD $42,400 FX35 AWD $43,850 FX50 AWD $58,400   For 2010, changes to FX include standard Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System on all models, the addition of a standard USB Connection Port for iPod and other compatible devices, the addition of a 2.0GB Music Box hard drive to the Bose Premium Audio system (on vehicles without navigation) and simplified exterior/interior color combinations. FX's available Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System has been enhanced for 2010 with the addition of an in-dash single disc DVD audio/video drive, streaming audio via Bluetooth, Zagat Restaurant Guide and XM NavWeather (along with the previously available XM NavTraffic).
