#1 of 4 09 FX35 Transmission by rwjs60 Jul 13, 2009 (6:22 pm)
My experience with the FX35 7 speed transmission. I just came back from a 3,500 miles trip with most of the driving on 2 lane state highways. The car was very comfortable while at cruising speed. I set the cruise control at a little over 80 and the ride was very smooth.   A few time I had to disengage cruise and slow down because of slower moving trucks. Trying to pass was an adventure. Many time I stepped on the gas paddle to pass the engine rev for a long second before the transmission got into lower gear and the car surge forward. Never felt comfortable and confident enough. A few time I had to return to behind the truck because I was not sure if I would make to pass.   I had the dealer looked at the issue before and was told nothing wrong with it. I am going to make another appointment and raise the issue again. I really don't want to have to use the manual mode all the time.   Anyone else here had similar experience?

Replying to: rwjs60 (Jul 13, 2009 6:22 pm) Since no one responded I must be the only one.   Anyway, after my appointment with the dealer on 7-16 and was told that there was nothing wrong, I did some more research and found out from another forum that Infiniti had indeed issued a Technical Service Bulletin concern the issue. The issue was transmission downshifting problem from 4 to 3. I made another trip to the dealer and informed them of the bulletin from Infiniti. They got the bulletin off the internet and did the procedure. I think it was a computer software update. Now they car is running like a dream.   The bulletin is ITB09-032. It affects all 2009 models with the 7 speed automatic transmission. Replies to this message: tidester (Aug 01, 2009 8:29 pm)

#4 of 4 Should I buy a 2007 FX35 to replace a 2004 SRX? by msfur Oct 24, 2009 (4:24 pm)
I have a 2004 Cadillac SRX I love but it has not been reliable. I am now looking at the FX35, but fear it won't have the comfort I am used to/looking for. I do like the look of the car, and want something very reliable, so, any ideas/suggestions?
