Does anyone know what it take to get the battery compartment cover off the vehicle? Not the door, but the compartment itself. It is almost impossible to check water in the battery through the door opening.

I also had vibration while braking esp. at from highway speeds, the rotors are not under warranty but there is a tsb from infiniti that will pay for the rotors to be cut and to replace the front brake pads. I had that done just last week and its much better.

All I can say is I have a 2004 FX35 AWD with Sport Package and other than a rattle in my sun roof which was quickly fixed by tightening some screws, I have had ZERO problems. Of course, I only have 15,000 miles on it since I only use on the weekends but still, pretty good, no? Jon.

Do you know where to find that TSB for rotor repairs? I called Inifiniti dealer and they said, since the car has over 12K miles, rotors and brakes are considered a "normal wear" item and are not covered under basic warranty. The cost to replace rotors with brake pads would be $558. To cut rotors and replace pads something like $350.
I would greatly appreciate if you could let me know where to find that TSB. Thanks.

Not sure where you live, but my Houston Infiniti dealer wanted $200 to replace my back pads (55K on the pads) including turning the rotors. I had an independent mechanic (tire store) I trust do it, and they only charged $99 and used Infiniti pads from my dealer. For generic things like brake pad/rotor replacement, I think you can use non-Infiniti mechanics without risk and save some money.

Paint surface on FX35

I just brought home my first FX35...Autumn Copper! I have previously owned Lexus vehicles and notice a difference in the "feel" of the painted surface of the FX35. When compared to a Lexus, it seemed "grainy" and not as smooth. Has anyone else made this observation or does my vehicle have a poorer paint job?

My 2005 FX 35 has 24,000 miles and has the same symptoms. I also call the Consumer line and filed a complain, (I'm still waiting on a reply at the 28 hour mark. They said 24, not me). The dealership in Fairfield California couldn't care less. I'm curious, were your issues resolved, or did you just sell the Infiniti? I'm more than mad.
Thanks for your time,
Kevin

replying to dafreerider (Oct 31, 2007 12:52 pm)...
I also live in the Houston area. My situation is very similar, I'm also at ~ 55K and need rear pads. What tire store did you use - was it Just Brakes? I checked out NTB and they want just as much as the dealer.
Also, what tires are you running on? I've not had the best of luck. I'm still running on the Bridgestone Potenza RE92. Within about a 9 month period, I had to replace 3 tires (mostly the result of road hazard, not necessarily wear). At nearly $250 a pop, I was not a happy camper. Right now I am in need of two.

Not sure who you are asking this of. I got over 50K miles on the OEM Bridgestones. I think they were the RE92 model. Right now I have over 10K on Bridgestone Duelers, and they look like new. They are cheaper than the OEM equivalent, but have a better tread life rating. As to brakes, I live in the Brazosport area. I got my brakes done at Brazosport Tire for half what SW Infiniti wanted. I am sure you could find a reliable mechanic to do it for less than SWI in Houston. Brake pad replacement is not rocket science.
