I am the owner of a 2010 FX35 that started having problems in 2023 with just cutting off in the middle of driving. I took the vehicle to the dealership last year in which they told me the car required an update and the reprogrammed ECM and bumped up RPMS. I started having the issue again and was almost in an accident as the car cut off in traffic as was driving and lost the ability to steer the car. I took the car back to the dealership complaining of the same issue. I was told that Infiniti was aware of the problem and had issued a TSB but not a recall to repair this problem. This is a safety hazard that should be investigated and a recall should be issued to repair ASAP.

My vehicle gas fuel door opens electronically/automatically. Once motor is turned off, then you can push the door open and proceed to unscrew the gas cap and fuel the car. I recently found out that this simple process malfunctioned and I had to pay Infiniti to unlock the door, so I can fuel my car! To my "Disappointment" I was advised by Infiniti, that a little, tiny part {actuators that power mechanical devices (windows, sunroofs, seats, etc.)} is what's needed to resolve this issue, only it will cost me, out of pocket approximately $800, because the extended warranty, which I had at the time {car shield} does not cover it; even though, that may present a safety hazard for me should someone decides to put sugar, water or other substance into my gas tank, because I am now exposed and unprotected! Having a premium car with all the wonderful features, never bought me to focus upon a fuel door release, but now, I realized that Infiniti did not install and inside option to open the gas fuel door, in case of an emergency like this! In contacting Infiniti, I asked why didn't they install the same inside release for the fuel door, as with most cars and their feedback was "my car was built without an installed backup {inside fuel door release capability} and that's just the way it was built!" No further explanation, accommodations, customer satisfaction, discounts; just no more conversation from Infiniti! To date, I feel very unprotected, hoping that no one will mess with my car and push the fuel door open for malicious reasons. I've already spent over $100 with Infiniti to get the fuel release door opened, but paying another $800 is too steep, when Infiniti should have provided this extra safety for my vehicle. Why was this model chosen to be left without additional protection and backup to protect our fuel door access? I hope you will create a "RECALL" on this fuel door power actuators for at least this 2010 FX35 model, because it does in fact present a safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2010 Infiniti FX35. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, an abnormal banging sound was coming from the vehicle without warning. The contact was unaware of what caused the banging noise. The contact slammed on her brakes and the vehicle independently veered to the left. The contact notified the independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and discovered that the left torque arm had corroded and detached from the subframe. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000. The consumer stated the vehicle was repaired.
