#88 of 97 Re: Purchase of FX35 w/80K miles [godivagirl] by fxmercguy Aug 17, 2009 (9:43 am)
Replying to: godivagirl (Aug 14, 2009 6:36 pm) I bought my 04 FX35 used with 54,000 miles and now have about 86,000 miles on it. It still runs like the day I bought it, its an exceptional vehicle. Change the fluids, rotate the tires, and there hasn't been much else. Except, the only know issue with these has always been the brakes. Brake fade and rotor warpage - Consumer Reports had the one black mark next to brakes.   That said, there can always be some brown stuff if it wasn't maintained as it should have been. But I don't think you can go wrong... Replies to this message: godivagirl (Aug 17, 2009 6:43 pm)

Replying to: fxmercguy (Aug 17, 2009 9:43 am) Thanks FXMercguy, I appreciate your help and input. The seller has placed new tires on "her" and brakes front and back..he did mention there had been some rotor warpage and such...every car has its weak points. I just would hate to buy this car, be paying on it and fixing it all at the same time..That would by sucky!

Replying to: aq684c (Aug 23, 2009 7:03 am) just do whatever the manual and dealer says should be done. I think at 68000km, there is not much other than an oil change and tire rotation. Maybe change out some other fluids too.   If its the bulbs, lights are never covered under warranty by any car manufacturer. They are 'consumables' just like brakes and tires. If its a wiring issue or something otherwise faulty, they may be covered.   In over 3 years of ownership, my cumulative/average mileage is about 29km/gal (18miles/gallon) no matter what kind of driving I seem to do, highway, city, combined, etc... I don't think this vehicle will get much better than that.
#92 of 97 Maintenance order ignored -- sexism?? by driveshesaid Aug 24, 2009 (10:26 am)
Infiniti of Chantilly (VA) dealership (30 miles from my home) got me to buy by offering to keep my car there for free when traveling out of nearby airport. Great deal. So when I needed regular maintenance (oil change, tire rotation) just before a vacation, I called to schedule an appointment and let them know they had 2 weeks to do it. Problem was, when I returned, no maintenance had been done. When we dropped it off, my husband had asked them to check a mirror adjustment issue and tire pressure -- so that's all they did. Ignored my maintenance order from a few days earlier, and only listened to his additional request. To top it off, I bought the car myself, not with my husband. That's how they treat women customers??.
#93 of 97 Bumper Damage by sgillmore Sep 23, 2009 (2:11 pm)
Hello,   I've got a new FX 35 (about 6 months old). Just the other day I noticed that on the rear bumper, below the painted portion, so the black matte plastic area (if you have an infiniti like this you'll know what I'm taking about) there is a small sort of ding/gouge. It looks like someone probably hit this area with a sharp license plate hook or hanger of something of that sort.   Anyway, this is a big unusual. Does anyone know of anyway to repair this type of damage. If it was painted, it could be sanded down and fixed, but since its' on this sort of 'black plastic' area, I'm not sure how to address it.   Any ideas?
#94 of 97 Passenger Side Mirror Movement on Reverse by sgillmore Sep 23, 2009 (2:48 pm)
Hi,   Got a question. I noticed on my new FX 35 2009 that when I reverse the driver side mirror auto adjusts down to look at the curb, but the passenger side does not move. Is that how it's supposed to work? That seems odd to me as you're always against a curb on the passenger side, not the driver side, not sure why you would even need the driver side mirror to move at all.
#95 of 97 2006 FX 35 by wileyeam Nov 08, 2009 (1:53 pm)
I am entertaining purchasing a 2006 FX35 WITH 75K MILES. What should I be concerned about as far as this vehicle? Repair/Maintanence Cost? Mileage? Most importantly common defects on this vehicle? Should I purchase and extended warranty on it as well? Replies to this message: tidester (Nov 08, 2009 2:35 pm) kingandy (Nov 08, 2009 3:02 pm)

Replying to: wileyeam (Nov 08, 2009 1:53 pm) I've been really happy with my '03 at 80k - very strong mechanically and performs great. Although I've had to replace a door lock motor ($260+ for parts) and the hatch lift struts ($83/piece)... it's easy to work on, but parts do seem expensive. It gets about 18MPG avg, decent for a SUV. Warranty probably wouldn't cover the minor stuff, and I don't worry about it mechanically - the drive train is incredible.
