AFTER WAITING TEN MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES BEFORE REACHING HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

PURCHASED A NEW 2003 INFINITI FX35 WHICH CURRENTLY HAS 238,000 AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED WITH THE DEALER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED AND WOULD LIKE FOR THIS COMPLAINT TO BE RECORDED AS WITH ALL THE OTHER LISTED FX35 COMPLAINTS. *TR
