The list of things the ext warranty covers seems fairly extensive. I am by no means an expert, but I do not like unexpected expenses.
I *think* we would probably break even if at least one moderately priced thing went wrong. Something tells me if something like the nav or the bluetooth broke after the warranty expires it would be very costly to fix.
I am not sure if this is something I should get looked at, or if the circumstances are just right, (like if it can't read the lines on the road?) that the light turns on??
thanks,

Can any current owners tell me the "actual" mileage they are getting? I agree with crikey (post #3108). Owning a vehicle getting 18 mpg is a luxury. And quite possibly, extravagant, these days IMHO.
The second question is about the manual rear liftgate. I am amazed that this car does not have a remote/auto liftgate. I believe that the FX and Murano are the only crossover's that do not. This feature is very important to me as my mother is handicapped and believe me when I tell you that my hands are full when I get her to the car. I don't want to set everything down in the snow, rain or dirty parking lot and then have to pick it all up again. Is anyone aware of any type of a conversion kit? I have not been able to locate anything and neither has the dealer. I would be happy with a spring loaded latch release. Closing the hatch is not the issue - just getting it to open automatically.
I have my decision narrowed to the FX and the SRX. SRX has the remote tailgate and gets a little better mileage (judging by stickers only), but does not look nearly as good as the FX. If I could resolve the tailgate issue it would sure help me make a decision.
Any mpg info (FX35 and/or 45)and leads on liftgates would be greatly appreciated.
Now that my family status has change I am thinking about selling my FX35 AWD, Navigation, with back up camera so I can get a minivan (Honda Odyssey). Please don't get me wrong the Infinity FX35 is a great car, you get lots of attention and thrill when you drive it.
I have not heard of a retrofit for the rear liftgate.
The leather on the outer side bolsters of both of my front seats are badly wrinkled towards the seatbacks and have a far rougher feel than the rest of the seats. The dealer actually pointed this out to me at less than 1 year and about 6300 miles. He didn't care either. Obviously, this was an 2005 FX defect on perhaps a small number of cars.
If we all let the Corporate Offices of Nissan/Infiniti know of our dissatisfaction maybe they will do something for all of us who deserve better.
Thanks,

I got my 03 FX45 as a left over when the 04's came out. With a $7100 discount and 1.9% financing you can't beat the deal. I'll miss it sorely but I wanted an economy car and I don't need three cars. I traded it for an 07 Camry Hybrid
Any others have this problem, or any dealers have any suggestions on what may be causing this? My concerns are that this is very dangerous and after several attempts it has not been fixed. I'm worried that the problem is more then just the cruise control/lane departure system and could impact my safety features like the computer which controls the airbags. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for sharing this problem with all of us and I am sorry that this is happening to your car. Unfortunately, I do not use the lazer guided cruise control past 30 minutes to have any input in this matter, other than to say it works on my car for now. I hope the dealership can figure something out for you and perhaps you can share it with us. So please keep us updated on this. Thank you.
I have also had the LDW light stay on and not beep when veering out of the lane.. It has not done it in a few weeks, but it had been driving me crazy for a while.
Please keep us updated!

MPG wise, I put only premium in it and I do easily 20+ on highways (and I drive on the I-94/Eden) but horrible in city (average around 14). In my combined driving, I average 18-19...ok I guess. I LOVE THE car. My major feeling of loss is no MP3 playing. Anyone with good advice is that is most welcome including suggestions on external device such as iPod.
IMHO you may want to talk to West Chester as well, I felt much more at-ease with them.
If you do your homework and indicate to them that you know your stuff you will get a very fair deal. (about a month ago I got $42K for an 06 tech, touring, handsfree, roof rails, cargo mat, spashguards & all weather mats)

We're out of an 05 Avalon XLS and are considering the 06 FX35 AWD model with no options - has much more standard equipment than I ever dreamed.
Also looking at Odyssey EX w/leather/DVD (I'll wager few have cross-shopped these two!). Thought about Murano but didn't like its IIHS/NHTSB crash ratings.
Lexus/Mercedes/BMW do not interest us and if we can get within $500 of invoice, it might get the wife's okay. How likley is it to find a no-optioned FX 35? Most seem to have at least sunroof w/keyless options which to us (along with all the other significant options) are uneccessary and make the car less of a value - it's already at the top of our range without any options.
Any comments? I live in Montgomery County, Maryland near a Bethesda dealership but would travel to other dealerships (Ellicott city or White Marsh).

Deanie
