This is really a lot..I have owned 2 other Infinitis prior to this one (both G35s) and the speedo was only off by 1-2mph, not 5-6.
This is borderline fraud...since I'm being overcharged by 10% on milleage on my lease!
Anyone try taking up this issue with Infiniti Customer service?
CD inserts and ejects ok but won't play and gives "Check Disc" message.

I have had 2 g35s, both rwd, and now a awd fx35 (08), I loved the way the rwd handled, the awd doesnt have the same feel, but I do love not getting stuck in the snow on our skip trips to Vermont, so the awd is the way to go if your going to see much snow.
Just want to get this out there because this kind of service is not very common these days. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to be a repeat customer.
Luck for me its not the car, because I love it.

My speedometer is also off by 5mph. They put in a new one but said it was an issue they had no fix for at that time...
Any help is appreciated, thanks
I have a problem with my FX35 that i shipped from the states...I knew that the Nav system was a problem. Think its locked to US region...but there must be a way to unlock the system and make the Navigation open to all maps...the GPS must be the same all over the world...Hopefully someone could help me with this issue...it must be the same problem on all cars exported to Europe.
I was thinking to either unlock the DVD player...or make a regionfree copy of a europe map would solve it...but i dont know how to do it.
I would be so happy if someone out there can help...Greetings from Sweden//Arne Johansson
Any advice would be helpfull!
Thank you//Arne Json

My FX now has 22k miles on it, and by my calculation, the mileage on the speedo is now about 1800 miles over true mileage. At 20 cents/mile on the overage rate for leases, thats $360 worth of overcharging.
I have 2 years left on my lease yet..so still have time to rattle the cage at Infiniti more.
btw, for the numbers...when my Garmin 205 gps says 65, my fx speedo says 71.
I spoke with infiniti consumer affairs today who is supposed to call me by the end of the day tomorrow. They acted like they never heard of the issue, and I told them that Ive read blogs on line from several customers with the same exact problem. Again, they acted shocked.
I will let you know if they do anything for me. What they are doing is consumer fraud, which in my state carries treble and punitive damages. They know about the problem and continue to rip off customers, 20 cents at a time. I also invite other FX owners/leasers to reply to this if they have similar issues. If they refuse to do anything, I will probably start a separate forum for feedback. It seems to be a problem on the vehicles with the 20in tires, but it may be others.
Ill keep you posted.
As a matter of fact, I passed in front of a police car with scanner with my speed reading at 83 yet the police officer did not even budge.
Do you get any response from Infinity customer service from you last inquiry?
Also, how do you access all the nav options while driving? I only get 5 options. I can get to a gas station while driving but not a hospital. This can't be right, or if it is it's really not well thought through.
From InfinitiUSA.com 10/2/09:
Infiniti today announced pricing on the 2010 Infiniti FX, which is on sale now at Infiniti retailers nationwide.
The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP)* for the three available 2010 Infiniti FX models are:
FX35 RWD $42,400
FX35 AWD $43,850
FX50 AWD $58,400
For 2010, changes to FX include standard Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System on all models, the addition of a standard USB Connection Port for iPod and other compatible devices, the addition of a 2.0GB Music Box hard drive to the Bose Premium Audio system (on vehicles without navigation) and simplified exterior/interior color combinations. FX's available Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System has been enhanced for 2010 with the addition of an in-dash single disc DVD audio/video drive, streaming audio via Bluetooth, Zagat Restaurant Guide and XM NavWeather (along with the previously available XM NavTraffic).
Does anyone know the loyalty rebate (or any other rebates) for the 2010 or 2009 FX :confuse:
I am returning to dealer tomorrow for another try at it. (I live 150 miles from the dealer and difficult for service).
The service manager is getting short with me and said they never heard about this problem. Tommorrow I plan to share this thread to open their eyes. Next step I will contact company and I think we better initiate a class action suit or recall. When you consider the depreciation on these automobiles, 5% overage adds up. I am not sure of my rights in Colorado but I will contact our attorney general for advice. My worry is my warranty is up in three months.
I would still like a fix...anyone make any progress on this?
So, I am thinking about trying to find a dealership that will take my '06 MDX with 66K miles on it for an EVEN exchange with an Infiniti FX35 (AWD). I am thinking for this to happen the FX35 will probably be an '04 ... possibly with enough looking I can find a lower mileage older FX and it will be even.
My question: is this a crazy thing to do? it would be an inpractical thing to do for sure but I sometimes get tired of always doing the practical thing.
Any words of wisdom?
Just did a smog check - the car passed.
I have one more long-lasting problem with my car - high oil consumption. Infiniti refused to do anything about it because it was withing their "normal" parameters. No oil leaks though, and I've always wondered where does this oil go. So I wouldn't rule out that what I smell is burned oil.
So I have two ideas regarding the source of the fumes: PCV valve and an exhaust leak. Any ideas or comments?
I also have an '03 FX45, with about 95,000 miles. Overall it's been the most reliable vehicle that I've ever owned. However, about 6 months ago, the exhaust did get noticeably louder, and after the dealer diagnosed it, I did have it replaced. I live in Minnesota where they use lots of salt in the winter, so I wasn't surprised that the original muffler developed some rust. But I never did not have the unpleasant smell that you describe, so I don't have any advice to give you on that from my experiences. In my case the dealer went to Infiniti without any prodding by me, and Infiniti ended up absorbing more than half the cost of the new exhaust. After that the car sounded just like new.
On the oil consumption issue I do have to add oil periodically between changes. I haven't measured the rate that the engine burns oil, but I haven't noticed that it's gotten any worse since new. I would guess roughly a half-quart every 2000 miles. I've always used Mobil 1 5W-30, changed about every 5000 miles, so your mileage may vary.
Overall I've been very pleased with the vehicle, and the service from my dealer (Lupient Infiniti in Golden Valley, MN) has been top-notch.
The only positive is the company is recognizing the problem and may begin working towards a solution. I don't expect much though.
Infiniti dealers are not near me and I can not ship the car back to USA for the repalacement.
I will be glad to have someones please tell me what I can do.
1. As I learnt on-line, many cars have the problem which is from the manufacturer and replacing the dashboard may not be the final solution as the bubbles can come back later.
2. What can I use to cover the bubbles up?
OR
3. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION POSSIBLE PLEASE?
