Replying to: sfcharlie (Jun 08, 2006 6:52 am) Not even remotely problematic. I own one of the first M45 Sport's off the line, and as I've found with my 2003 G35 Coupe, the car has been flawless. When I visit the dealership I find that the service department has the look of the old Maytag repairman's shop. While the facility is pristine and state of the art, there aren't many cars in there. Infiniti's excellent scores, especially long-term reliability scores, are reflected in my locality. For those of you making a purchasing choice and concerned about reliability, look at not only the initial quality studies, but also the 3 and 5 year studies. In the long-term studies, Infiniti has actually moved ahead of Lexus. Further, if you were to throw out the numbers from the QX56, the only Infiniti manufactured in the states, the numbers would be even better. You mentioned that you've read the entire "problems" section of this forum Charlie. Consider that there are well over 6,000 posts on the M35/M45 thread and yet only in the 300 range on the problems thread. Many of the 300+, mine included, remark on the high reliability, not problems. As I've opined, if you consider the paucity and types of complaints regarding the M, a realist would have to come to the conclusion that Infiniti did a magnificent job on this car considering that it is a completely new model (yes I know the Fuga was out a year). |

Replying to: purplem46 (Jun 09, 2006 10:55 am) I like to run my tires a little on the firm side but still within manufacturer's specs to extend tire life ... our asphalt gets up to 170F in the summer! At ~ $400 a pop, squeezing another few thousand miles out of them can make the difference between having to replace them before the end of the lease and getting to lease end with the tires still functional.

Replying to: sfcharlie (Jun 08, 2006 6:52 am) Charlie ... I took delivery of my M35 Sport on April 6, 2005 and it has been utterly flawless. I broke my cardinal rule of never buying a first model year but I liked the car so much and had had such a great experience w/ my earlier Q45 ... well, I took the gamble and it paid off. Bart

Replying to: blov8r (Jun 09, 2006 1:10 pm) At the risk of being preached to about safety and liability I ask ..... Is it possible to disable the parking brake / DVD playback feature? Anyone that has the Tech package would know that the only way to play a DVD (and watch video opposed to just hearing the audio) is if the parking brake is pressed in. Even the slightest press of the brake allows the video to be seen on the dash monitor. The car can be in drive and video plays if parking brake is just touched. If it is possible to "fix" this, what pointers should I tell my local car audio shop when trying to solve my "problem"?

I have had my m35x for 2 months now with zero problems. Getting 17 mpg in town and 24 mpg on the road using mid-range gas. I got the ivory pearl with wheat interior which i really like doesnt show the dirt the darker color cars do i get many compliments on it. Their is not a New car out there that is not going to have some problem from time to time, Infiniti gave us a 4yr 60000 mi warrenty (better than most) to take care of those problems. I have owned many cars and this is the best.

Replying to: orlandom35 (Jun 10, 2006 3:27 am) My local car audio shop added a toggle switch to "trick" the DVD player into thinking the emergency brake is engaged. Two issues now, when the toggle switch is engaged the emergency brake light stays lit (small price to pay while DVD is playing) AND, as soon as the car gets in motion the navigation system takes over the monitor. So, bypassing the emergency brake is not enough to allow the DVD player to display video while the emergency brake is NOT engaged and the car is in motion. Has anybody had any success out there with this? |

I notice in the lower left corner of the screen, when a CD is playing, the "Audio Text" box (which, I believe, if selected and then "Enter" is pressed, should lead to display of Artist and Song title), but neither I nor the Senior Service Tech could figure out how to select that "Audio Text" box.
