2009 Infiniti FX35 recalls

Recall 15V-054: Steering

Reported Feb 2, 2015 · 16,973 vehicles affected · Nissan North America, Inc.

Problem: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008 Infiniti EX35 vehicles equipped with the power tilt/telescope option included in the premium package, manufactured June 29, 2007, to April 25, 2008, 2009 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 vehicles manufactured October 31, 2007, to April 16, 2008, and 2009 Nissan GT-R vehicles manufactured March 14, 2007, to April 25, 2008. The steering column outer tube may not be round, resulting in extra stress being applied to the upper steering bearing. This stress may cause the bearing retainer to fracture, creating extra play in the steering wheel or a possible loss of steering.

Risk: Extra play in the steering wheel or a loss of steering may increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering shaft on the Infiniti EX35, FX35, and FX45 vehicles, and will replace the steering column assembly on the Nissan GT-R vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2015. Infiniti owners may contact customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan owners may contact the GT-R hotline at 1-866-668-1487.

Air Bags · reported Sep 20, 2021

The air bag light started blinking. I took to Nissan thr6 ran diagnostic on it $152 and said the passenger sensor was bad. It would cost $8000 to replace it because the whole seat would need replaced.

Unknown or Other · reported Jul 9, 2021

The car stalls. The power steering no longer works when the car stalls. I have been in traffic, multiple times, when the car stalled. It creates an unsafe situation because the traffic behind me has to apply the brakes or swerve around me. Long ago took the car to infiniti and they did a $300+ 3 point fuel injection clean, etc. They could not duplicate the problem and there was no code, so they said they couldn't help but the 3 point service might resolve the problem.

Suspension · reported Jul 5, 2021

This Item is called the rear cross member that attach's the rear shocks, drive axle and brakes. The sway bar on the driver side has already dislodged from the vehicle therefore when you apply the brakes, the rear axle seems to be shifting because the sway bar is used to supply a stationary support to the rear drive shaft. I discovered this when braking I noticed that the vehicle dived to the right as if the rear axle had shifted. This vehicle is not safe to drive now.

In november of 2019, while driving my son to school. The passenger door locks wouldn't allow the door to open. He had to climb over my seat in order to exit the vehicle.

All 3 body shops I've contacted had no idea how to fix the problem or how to get the door open without doing major damage to the vehicle. I ha e filed a complaint with infiniti customer relations, they told me that since the car is out of warranty they will not help w any repair…
