2007 Infiniti FX35: complaints, problems and recalls

THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER IN MY 2007 INFINITI FX35 DO NOT TELL SPEED AND MILEAGE CORRECTLY. THE SPEEDOMETER ERROR IS A FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE FASTER YOU ARE DRIVING THE LARGER THE ERROR. AT 75 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READS ABOUT 82 MPH. *TR

INFINITI HAS A RECALL FOR THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER READS 3 TO 5 MILES PER/HR MORE THAN WHAT THE SUV IS REALLY GOING. THE ODOMETER READS 3% TO 4% MORE MILES DRIVEN THAN IT SHOULD BE. I BROUGHT THE SUV IN FOR THE RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER WERE CORRECTED. BUT NOW THE CRUSE CONTROL IS READING 3 MILES PER/HR FASTER THAN WHAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS REGISTERING. INFINITI TOLD ME THIS WAS IN RANGE. THIS IS CRAP!
