| I have a '04 FX-35 AWD, 20" , 35,000 miles... when I accelerate to 2500 rpm... there seems to be a noise other than the engine and exhaust... I went to dealer and they told me that the car was fine... but I still hear the extra noise as I hit the gas... sounds like the wheels arent receiving all the power or something...cant figure it out... notice noise only as I am accelerating as the car shifts gears at around 2500 rpm... | |
| Oh boy,after looking at this vehicle in consumer reports and falling in love with its performance and space age looks we purchased it new in 04. No major problems other than constantly needing rear brakes. 4 years and 60,000 miles later here we go. In march all the warning lights come on in the dash caused by a left rear wheel sensor.We fix it at a charge of about $250.00. In june the exhaust cracks and breaks off near the rear axle. Dealer wants to charge me$ 500.00 to which to which I argue them down to half of that but they eventually fix it free of charge after I continually tell them this is a $40,000.00 vehicle and pipes shouldn't be falling off.They also put new brake pads again. After new exhaust is put on we hear loud humming going down the road.Turns out all 4 WHEEL BEARINGS are shot and need replaced. Thank God only had 65,000 miles as drive line warranty runs out at 70,000. Dealer absorbed all the cost for that job and we got the vehicle back. Heading out one sunday morning we notice grinding noise from the rear. Turns out one of the new brake pad lost its padding. I had to spend Sunday afternoon putting new pads on. Called the dealer monday and as usual had to wait about 3 weeks to get a service appointment. My wife says she can't get in the drivers door because it won't unlock with the key fob and the 2 outside mirrors won't go up or down. Dealer takes the vehicle and puts new pads on again and turns the rotor and proceedes to tell me that it will be $1200.00 to fix the door and mirrors to which I tell him forget it. I'd like a call from consumer reports about now to survey this vehicle. 60000 miles...on a $40,000.00 vehicle....these kind of problems....come on. | |

I also have an 04 FX35, now with 75,000 miles. I've had to replace one front wheel bearing, and give it an occasional brake job (these are known for bad brakes-look at the black marks in Consumer Reports!). Routine maintenance is always done on time, Aside from that, NO PROBLEMS at all, it runs great, performs great, rides like its on rails, and is fantastic in the winters. I've considered trading in for a new one. The new 09s have a beautifully updated interior. The exterior however, I was not so thrilled about, certainly not enough to warrant the price tag. I'll stick with my 2004! |

I just purchased a 2003 FX35 (sport, with bose option), and I'm trying to setup the satellite radio. I'm a current XM subscriber - does anyone know where to find the ID number on the car that I need to send XM to transfer my service? Also, if there are instructions on how to setup the service? I found the free shop manual online, but it doesn't seem to cover any of this - and I didn't see anything obvious in the audio menus of the radio... Thanks in advance! Andy. |

Andy, I assume you've confirmed that your 03 already has the satellite radio hardware installed. For both XM and Sirius, you tune the radio to channel 0 or 1 (I forget which but its one or the other) and it will tell you the code for the radio. Then you can call or go on-line to XM and they will walk you through the rest of the set-up.

Replying to: fxmercguy (Aug 11, 2008 8:05 am) Since then, I've figured out that indeed I do not have the factory tuner (bummer!) -- but the car is pre-wired for an installation. If anyone out there has a good recommendation for where to buy a receiver/antenna, or they are willing to sell me theirs -- please let me know. The dealer has them, but they are considerably more expensive than I want to spend. For anyone out there wondering - it is pretty easy to get to the XM module, you just need to pull the spare tire out, and a couple of panels. Thanks, Andy |

| Im having problems checking my oil. I can never pull out the dipstick correctly and for some reason i could never get an accurate reading i take it to the dealer and and the say it has the correct amount of oil cause everytime i check it it seems to need oil... some body please help! My car has about 80000 miles and it gets its oil change every 3 to 4 thousand miles could it be its burning that much oil? | |
| 2005 fx35 61k with dash defects, looks like bubbles, According to dealerships this seems to happen after the 60k mile warranty. I have 61k miles and infiniti will not replace. It's not covered under my extended warranty, but when you pay $47000 for this kind of vehicle,you shouldn't have to worry about cheap craftmanship. There are numerous known cases dealing / same issue. There should be a recall /I'm reporting to BBB. contact me info on this issues. I want to start a petition asking them to do what is right, I really love my fx, but this just lowers my experience with inifniti and will not purchase another vehicle from them. I hope many fill follow . | |
