  • VIN: JN1AJ0HRXBM
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: My drivers side door lock actuator does not allow the drivers door to be opened if its below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. We just got a bomb cyclone bringing snow and for the second winter in a row (new actuator installed last winter for same complaint) my actuator has failed. I di not know what is going on with infiniti’s parts but every person i know who has newer infiniti has to get their actuator changed every year because the car locks them inside. If there were to be a crash or a fire or some type of emergency, I…along with every infiniti owner would have to attempt to escape their car through another door or risk death.

  • Date Of Incident: 2021-10-26
  • Date Complaint: 2022-05-23
  • VIN: Jn1aj0hrxbm
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: The door lock actuators fail to work for the doors both inside and outside if the temperature gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. (Also within this weather, my outer door handle which is physically attached to said actuator) has broken off. I've repaired one actuator with an aftermarket one but the drivers door actuator is only made by Infiniti. The cost of the part alone is $800 the labor is another $300. The risk is that in the case of a crash, engine fire, and/or severe mechanical failure, I will be unable to exit my vehicle and will subsequently die should such an situation occur. I've spoken to several mechanics that tell me it's quite common with Nissans and infiniti's. I've seen on dozens of forums that they believe there should be a recall on this since it's been happening for 20+years and isn't covered under warranty due to being a wear and tear part.

Latest negative Infiniti Ex35 car reviews

  1. Jalon Weber 2025-03-18

    Vehicle year: 2008

    Wanted a sports car but needed more function. I'm happy to report that I found the EX to be almost as fun to drive as the G37, with a much smoother ride and a semi-useful back seat. It's also much more refined than the Acura RDX and considerably less expensive than the BMW X3.

  2. Tommie Abernathy 2025-03-06

    Vehicle year: 2010

    Although the 4 Year lease is coming to an end, I am confident in my decision to return the vehicle. While the 4WD system can be intrusive, I have found that turning off VCD in snowy conditions is a simple solution. The snow switch, although located on the lower dash, is still a useful feature. Additionally, the engine is powerful and the vehicle is comfortable. However, I do believe that the transmission could shift more smoothly and the MPG could be improved. Overall, while the price may have been high, I am confident in my decision to lease this vehicle and have enjoyed my time with it.

  3. Murray Glover 2025-02-08

    Vehicle year: 2008

    Although the car has some positive features such as the styling, engine power and cool features like the rear facing camera, it has not met my expectations. The battery died and the seat warmers did not work, and even after being 'fixed', the heat was so low that I could often not even tell the warmers were on. Additionally, the storage space is limited and the gas mileage is worse than expected. Infiniti's customer service was not satisfactory as they were more focused on selling me another car than solving my issues. Overall, I believe that this car does not meet the standards that I had hoped for.

  4. Kennith Fay 2024-11-01

    Vehicle year: 2010

    Hey there! I noticed that the car's radiator system seems to be a bit weak. I'm not quite sure what the engineers were thinking when they attached the AC hoses to the radiator, as it seems to cause some issues. Unfortunately, fixing the problem requires draining all the coolant. Let me know if you need any help with that!

  5. Geoffrey Ledner 2024-08-12

    Vehicle year: 2009

    The high-pitch noise every time the car starts and accelerates is the biggest complaint I have for this car. According to online forums, this is a pretty common problem. Unfortunately, Infiniti hasn't fixed it yet and not one of the service mechanics have heard it. I like to drive without the radio, but that's not a possibility because of the noise. I am considering trading in this car for the 2009 Buick Enclave.

Latest positive Infiniti Ex35 car reviews

  1. Aron Reichel 2025-03-27

    Vehicle year: 2008

    After being in a serious accident where my G35 sedan was totaled by a FT-150 Ford diesel truck, I knew I needed a car that would provide me with the same level of safety and reliability. I test drove several luxury brands such as BMW and Mercedes, as well as the new 09 Nissan Maxima, but none of them met my expectations. I decided to return to Infiniti, where I knew I would find the quality and dependability I was looking for. The EX model caught my eye, with its comfortable seats, smooth ride, and quiet cabin. I was impressed with the advanced features, such as the excellent visibility when reversing and the convenient iPod capability. I am thrilled with my decision to purchase a fully loaded Infiniti EX, and I feel confident that I made the right choice. The G35 proved to be incredibly sturdy and protected me and my 2 1/2 year old during the accident, and I know that I can rely on Infiniti to provide me with the same level of safety and security in the future.

  2. Julio Beahan 2025-03-15

    Vehicle year: 2009

    I am extremely satisfied with my ex-35. It boasts impressive speed, a great design, safe handling, and excellent torque. While the rear seating arrangement does have limited leg room, this is a minor issue that can be easily addressed by Infiniti. Overall, the car's reliability is truly impressive.

  3. Brice Kerluke 2025-03-11

    Vehicle year: 2009

    These were quite expensive, as are all Infinitis by Nissan Motor Corp. However, even after 12 years, the paint still looks good and we only had to make one major repair - the plastic radiator exploded at around 100K. My wife used it as her daily driver and with 150K on it, the engine is still as powerful as ever! Although the ride is a bit hard, these cars were like rocket ships! It was the fastest 0-60 MPH car we've ever owned. This car has been sold.

  4. Damon Pfannerstill 2025-03-01

    Vehicle year: 2008

    I bought my 2008 ex35 journey full option 2.5 years ago and I absolutely love it! The car is now 12.5 years old, but it still looks and drives amazing. It has never disappointed me and I still feel like I'm driving a brand new car today. The timeless design is stunning and it's hard to believe that it's so old. I have had zero maintenance problems and it's been absolutely reliable. With 210k kms on the dash, it still drives like it came out of the showroom yesterday. It's a beautiful, powerful, and elegant machine that is also safe and quiet. I am so happy to have this car, it's perfect!

  5. Emil Altenwerth 2025-02-26

    I need to update my previous review, titled 'hugely flawed'. My wife's EX recently went in for a service and attention to the gearbox. Despite mentioning the problem to the service department on two occasions, she was dismissed with 'it's the car, it's normal', which unfortunately is a common reaction towards women in the automotive industry. However, this time the service representative I dealt with was much more positive and said, 'Sounds like it needs the software upgrade'. They performed the upgrade and, to our delight, the car now has tons more response. It feels like her 2008 EX again - quick and ultra-responsive with no silly down changes. It's a shame the dealer didn't offer this solution the first time around; perhaps it wasn't available. We are very happy with the outcome.
