Which Infiniti FX35 years should you avoid?

Going by 448 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Infiniti FX35 years to avoid are 2004.

  • 2004120 complaints, 2.4× a typical FX35 year, most often about the door locks and latches.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
