2008 Infiniti FX35 — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 42 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Air bags (restraint system)19 (45.2%)Official recall records for this system: 17, covering model years 2003–2008.
• Electrical system3 (7.1%)
• Equipment & accessories2 (4.8%)
• Seats2 (4.8%)
• Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)2 (4.8%)
• Driver-assistance systems1 (2.4%)

Other / uncategorized: 6 classifications (14.3%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (890 records, model years 2003–2012) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and body & structure.
• Manufacturer communications (902 records, model years 2003–2012) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.
• Investigations (17 records, model years 2003–2009) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system) and steering.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
