2006 Infiniti M35 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VEER TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

MY FIRST PROBLEM IS THE BRAKE PEDAL BROKE FOR NO REASON. THE DEALER INFORMED ME A NEW ONE WOULD BE AT A COST TO ME AT OVER 350.00$. MY SECOND PROBLEM IS A SEAT WELD BROKE, I HAVE NOT GONE IN FOR THAT PROBLEM YET BUT I'M SURE IT WILL BE AT A COST TIME AS WELL. *TR

THE SEAT DETACHED FROM THE TRACK AND SLID DANGEROUSLY WHILE DRIVING. THE PLASTIC NEAR THE FLOORBOARD HAS COLLAPSED AND MAKES CLICKING SOUNDS WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING, CAUSING IT TO CRACK AND BE STICKY TO THE TOUCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT WAS THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

IN MARCH OF 2014, WHILE DRIVING OVER 200 MILES TO A CONFERENCE, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY 2006 INFINITI M35 WAS PULLING ME TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. HITTING A BUMP OR A POTHOLE WOULD MAKE IT VERY EASY TO LOSE CONTROL. BEING THAT I WAS IN A DIFFERENT CITY, I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIANS TO ASSIST ME IN DETERMINING THE EXACT CAUSE. THIS LED ME TO PURCHASE A WHOLE NEW SET OF TIRES AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PULLING WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. I ALSO CHANGED OUT MY STRUTS BECAUSE I ALSO HAD THE BOUNCING ACTION GOING ON, BUT TO NO AVAIL, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG. COULD YOU ALL LOOK INTO ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT HAS TO COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE? *TR

THE UNDER BODY OR FRAME NEAR THE REAR IS RUSTED AWAY SO THE CAR SEEMS TO LOSE TRACTION WHEN I DRIVE OVER SMALL BUMP OR CRACKS IN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS PART OF THE BODY.. *TR

UNDER MODERATE BRAKING THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE LOOSE AND SLID FORWARD A FEW INCHES WHICH AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY BRAKE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE WELDS ON THE SEAT ASSEMBLY FOR WHICH NO RECALL HAS EVER BEEN ISSUED, DESPITE A SIZEABLE NUMBER OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. TO REPLACE THE BROKEN SEAT ASSEMBLY IS ROUGHLY $1300 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SEAT DOESN'T STAY IN PLACE AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR END OF THE PROCEEDING VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,140.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY VEHICLE IS MELTING. THERE IS A GLARE THAT BLINDS ME AND THE DASH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL MELTS SO BAD AND GETS SO HOT IT BURNS MY FINGERS WHILE DRIVING. I TRY TO AVOID TOUCHING IT BUT I FORGET SOMETIMES. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO AVOID GETTING BURNED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING ONTO RAMP TO GET ON HIGHWAY AND SEAT BRACKET BROKE AND SUNK ME BACK. LOST CONTROL MOMENTARILY. *TR

MY 2006 INFINITI M35X DRIVES REAL JERKY DARTING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT CONSTANTLY WHENEVER THE ROAD IS THE LEAST BIT UNEVEN. I REALLY LIKE MY CAR BUT THE WORSE THE DARTING GETS I AM BECOMING MORE CONCERNED FOR MY PASSENGERS SAFETY AS WELL AS MY OWN. AFTER READING SOME OF THESE REVIEWS I DON'T THINK A NEWER VERSION WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. *TR

2006 M35 INFINITI M35. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS, THE SAME PART WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR RANGED FROM 1,000-1,300 EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *JB

SEAT FRAME FAILED, CAUSING SEAT TO FALL DOWN AND TO THE LEFT. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BECAUSE MULTIPLE ONLINE COMMENTS INDICATE THAT INFINITI DOES NOT RECOGNIZE SEAT FAILURE AS A SAFETY HAZARD DESPITE CLEAR PATTERN OF FAILURES IN 2006 M35S AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

SEAT MOORINGS UNEXPECTEDLY GAVE WAY DURING BRAKING. *TT

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, ACCELERATION OF MOVING CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, PERHAPS LEADING TO MAJOR FAILURE IN ACCIDENT, OR WITH HARD BRAKING. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP/ BRAKING MY DRIVER SEAT SLIDES TO THE FRONT AND THEN SLIDES BACK. MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE PEDAL AND GOOD THING NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME. THIS IS A REAL HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP. THE SEAT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO SLIDE OFF TRACK. PLEASE SOMEBODY LOOK INTO THIS THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE ADDRESSED. INFINITI OWNER *TR

VEHICLE STARTED SHIFTING TO RIGHT OF THE ROAD. PAID FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. PURCHASED SET OF NEW TIRES AT AROUND 115000 MILES.

THE PART CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED FROM INFINITI AND APPROXIMATE COST IS AROUND $1450.00 PLUS $500-$700 TO INSTALL!! *TR

EXPERIENCED ISSUE WITH DRIVER'S SEAT LEANING TOWARDS CENTER CONSOLE. NOT SURE WHEN THE SEAT BEGAN LEANING; HOWEVER, AFTER I SAW THE ISSUE - A FEW DAYS LATER THE SEAT BEGAN TO BLOCK THE CENTER CONSOLE FROM OPENING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT TRACK WAS BROKEN AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ABOUT $1400. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS ONE OTHER CAR THAT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY SEAT MAKES POPPING NOISES WHEN I ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT CLOSER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHIFTS FORWARD WHEN BRAKING. I ALSO NOTICE FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT THAT THE PLASTIC THAT PROTECTS THE SEAT HARDWARE IS PUSHING INWARD TOWARD THE CARPET ON THE SEAT. *TR

RECALL WORK DONE ON 01/08/2014 AT INTERNATION INFINITI WAUKESHA, WI DEALERSHIP. 01/09/14 FAINT BURNING SMELL NOTICED, AGAIN ON 01/11/2014 FAINT BURNING SMELL NOTCIED. THEN ON 01/14/2014 LOTS OF DASHLIGHTS LIKE ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, VDC, SLIP, BRAKE LIGHTS ALL FLASHING ON/OFF WHILE SPEEDOMETER FLIPPING UP & DOWN FROM SPEED CAR GOING TO ZERO, NOTHING IN BETWEEN. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP 01/15/2014 WITH APPT MADE ON 01/14/2014 AND THEY LOOKED AT CAR FOR 4 HOURS AND COULD NOT DEFINITELY SAY EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG BUT SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED AT COST OF $2200.00, WITHOUT PROOF THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY THE PROBLEM & THAT THEY DIDN'T CAUSE THIS PROBLEM SINCE I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THEY WORKED ON IT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT (30-35 MPH) YOU WOULD HEAR A LOUD "CLUNK", AND THE ENGINE WOULD STOP. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND NO BRAKES. WE EXPERIENCED THIS INFINITY DEFECT 7-8 TIMES OVER A 90 DAY PERIOD. FIRST INCIDENT 9-14-13. NOTE- RECEIVED RECALL LETTER (13V-430) FROM INFINITY 11-04-13. MADE SERVICE APT WITH NALLEY INFINITY, MARIETTA, GA. TO PERFORM WORK RELATED TO RECALL LETTER. I WAS REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS MADE ON 9-14-13. HOWEVER, ON 12-26-13 WHILE DRIVING IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND REPEATED ITSELF 3-4 TIMES THAT EVENING BEFORE I COULD REACH THE INFINITY OF ORANGE PK. FLA. ON 12-27-13. INFINITY OF ORANGE PK. MADE THE REPAIRS... THE COST TO ME FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $561. THIS ITEMIZED BILL WAS SENT TO INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN FRANKLIN, TN, AND THEY REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT. STATING THAT THEY COULD ONLY REIMBURSE FOR ONE OCCURRENCE. THIS INIFINITY INCIDENT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, FREIGHTING AND SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE ARE FORTUNATE... THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT IT HAS DESTROYED OUR CONFIDENCE IN THE INFINITY AUTO, INFINITY SERVICE AND ALL INFINITY PRODUCTS. *TR

NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE, BUT IT WAS LEANING INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE AND I FELT I WAS NOT CENTERED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AFTER NOTICING THIS, I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO DAYCARE WHEN THE SEAT SUPPORT ON THE LEFT SIDE BROKE WITH A LOUD BANG AND THE SEAT COLLAPSED TO THE FLOOR. I SWERVED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS COMING AT THE TIME. THE SEAT NO LONGER GOES UP AND DOWN AND CAN BE LIFTED UP AND DOWN BY HAND. I CONTACTED INFINITI USA. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHARGED $110 TO TELL ME THE SEAT TRACK WOULD NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1450. I AGAIN CONTACTED INFINITI USA AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD NOT BE OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

I OWN AN 2006 INFINITI M35X AWD ...GREAT CAR BUT HAVE EXPERIENCED TREMLING AND HARD PULLING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN SURFACES OR MAKING TURNS .. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO UNEXPECTEDLY...NOW I ALWAYS HAVE TO DRIVE EXPECTING IT TO HAPPEN .... NOT MY BEST COMFORT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A POP AND FELT THE SEAT GIVE OUT AND START TO FALL DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT GET THE SEAT TO GO BACK TO THE CORRECT POSITION. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN AND COULD SEE THE PART STICKING UP FROM WHERE THE BOTTOM SEAT CONNECTS TO THE REAR BACK PART OF THE SEAT. I ALMOST HAD ME CRASH INTO THE CONSTRUCTION BARRELS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LUCKY IT WAS A SUNDAY AND NO ONE WAS WORKING. *TR

STEERING TRAMLINES ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT CAUSING UNPREDICTABLE VEHICLE HANDLING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY.

I GOT IN THE CAR THIS MORNING AND MY SUNROOF WAS FINE. I PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND THAT WAS WHEN I HEARD THIS CRACKING SOUND. I GOT TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS LESS THAN 1/2 MILE AWAY, I PARKED THE CAR GOT OUT AND TOOK MY DAUGHTER INTO SCHOOL. THERE WAS NOTHING ON ABOVE MY CAR, I PARKED IN AN OPEN AREA. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR IT SOUNDED AS IF GLASS POPPED FROM SOMEWHERE. I GOT OUT LOOKED AT THE ROOF AND MY SUNROOF HAS A CRACK ALONG THE FRONT AND THERE IS A HOLE THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TOOK THEIR FIST FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND PUNCHED IT TOWARDS THE SKY. I DROVE BACK HOME TRYING TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANY INDICATION OF HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE I WAS JUST IN THE CAR LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO AND MY CAR WAS FINE. I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH EXPLODING SUNROOFS AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR NISSAN AND INFINITI AS WELL AS OTHER MAKES AND MODES. MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY CALLED MANHATTAN INFINITI AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF BULLETIN ABOUT IT AND THEY WOULD KNOW IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE. THEY WENT ON TO SAY THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THIS WOULDN'T BE COVERED. MY ISSUE IS THAT THIS ISN'T A WARRANTY COMPLAINT THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING DEFECTIVE WITH THE SUNROOF AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT DEALER SHOULD COVER THIS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO SOMEONE ELSE WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFAULT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF I HAD TH

DRIVING NORTH ON I95 NEAR FAYETTEVILLE, CRUISING AT 75 MPH, HAD TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY TO GET INTO LEFT LANE AHEAD OF OTHER TRAFFIC, AND MAKE ROOM FOR ON-RAMP CAR ENTERING HIGHWAY. WHEN I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR, MY CAR ENGINE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. I WAS ABLE TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, WHO DELIVERED ME TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP MANAGER INFORMED ME OF THE FAILURE AS DETERMINED BY THE ELECTRONIC ANALYSIS. SINCE HE HAD TO ORDER PARTS, HE HAD TO TAKE ME AND MY FAMILY TO A CAR RENTAL COMPANY. AFTER ABOUT 5 DAYS, THE CAR WAS READY FOR PICKUP. THE REPAIR COST WAS $939.42, THE RENTAL COST WAS $174.18, AND I DROVE ABOUT 210 EXTRA MILES MAKING GAS COST ABOUT $30. AT THE TIME, I ASSUMED THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL BUT ISOLATED PRODUCT FAILURE. NOW, I SEE NHTSA RECALL 13V-430 AND BELIEVE THAT MY SITUATION WAS DUE TO THIS FAULTY PART. I WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT, AND ALSO A REVIEW OF MY CAR'S SYSTEM AS REPAIRED TO REPLACE PARTS FURTHER AS NECESSARY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASH BOARD CRACKED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS VERY CONCERNED SINCE HE BELIEVED IT WOULD AFFECT THE AIR BAGS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000. ...UPDATED 01/14/14 *BF

MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM WORK AND INFORMED ME THAT HER SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK A LOOK AT THE SEAT, AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS TO WORK A DEAL OUT WITH HE DEALER, I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ONCE AGAIN THE DEALER REFUSED TO HELP. *TR

MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY PULLS LEFT AND RIGHT AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH THE SLIGHTEST ROAD IMPERFECTION. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE THE VEHICLE ALIGNED, TIRES REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND AND AIRED UP TO THE PROPER PRESSURE. IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, BUT WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND INFINIT WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE AND THEN THE CHAIR LEANED TO THE RIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEN SHORTLY AFTERWARDS COLLAPSED AND FOUND MYSELF VERY LOW. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. IT SEEMED THAT THE ASSEMBLY UNDERNEATH THE CHAIR HAD COLLAPSED. TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE, I HAD TO USE SEVERAL PILLOWS TO SIT ON TO REACH A HEIGHT FOR NORMAL DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SEAT ASSEMBLY HAS COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT I NEED A NEW CHAIR WITH THE ASSEMBLY. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE INFINITY CARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAPHAZARD AND I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ON A CITY STREET NOT DRIVING FAST AND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER AND INSPECT THE ISSUE. IF I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON A FREEWAY AND THE SEAT SUDDENLY LEANS TO THE RIGHT AND THEN COLLAPSES, THAT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN A SAFETY HAPHAZARD. *TR

THE CAR LOSES CONTROL AND STEERING SHAKES VIOLENT (TRAMMELING) BUMP STEER. *JS

AFTER PARKING MY CAR (2006 INFINITI M35X) I WENT TO UNBUCKLE MY SEAT BELT AND TO OPEN THE DOOR, MY SEAT RECLINED WITHOUT PRESSING IT TO AND THE REAR OF MY DRIVER SEAT FELL BACK TO THE FLOOR BOARD. I DON'T WHY IT FELL FOR I ONLY WEIGHT 172 LBS EXACTLY. SO I'M NOT THE HEAVIEST. I WOULD OF BEEN SCARED IF IT FELL WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD OF REACTED TO THE FAILURE OF MY SEAT CAN CLEARLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT FROM THAT. AN I RESEARCH AND SEE THAT IT JUST HAPPENS AND NO REASON EXCEPT OF YEA SEATING ON YOUR SEAT OVER AND OVER, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO DO WHAT IT DID. THEN THE DEALERSHIP WANNA OVER CHARGE YOU UP TO $1500 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPEN. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT THINK THAT. IT SHOULD BE AN RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE A LOT PEOPLE DON'T LOOK INTO RECALLS, I'M NOW POSTING AFTER TALKING TO SOMEONE AND SAYING IT HAPPEN TO THEIR FRIEND AND SAY THAT IT ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, SO IT CAN BE WAY MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEAT FAILURES THAT MAY LEAD TO INJURIES AND MAYBE DEATHS BECAUSE LUCKILY MY SEAT FELL WHEN I PARK. WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT SAFETY FEATURES THIS CAR "HAVE" GET SUBTRACTED BY THE SEAT COLLAPSING OUT OF NO WHERE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND IN A POSTED 25 MPH SPEED ZONE THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WITHOUT WARNING COLLAPSED FALLING TO THE FLOORBOARD. FORTUNATELY I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED DUE TO BEING IN A HIGH PEDESTRIAN AREA. I GOT MY CAR STOPPED, EXITED THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY COULD SEE THAT THE SEAT HAD COLLAPSED AND FALLEN ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE INIFINITI DEALERSHIP THAT WAS LESS THAN TWO MILES AWAY. THE SERVICE TECH ADVISED HE FELT THE SEAT HAD FELL OF THE RAILS. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A CAR, AFTER OPENING THE NEXT MORNING THE SERVICE TECH CALLED ME AND ADVISED THE SEAT FRAME, MOUNTING HARDWARE HAD BROKE. I WAS ADVISED MY EX-WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PARTS AND OR REPAIRS. THE COST WOULD BE $1325.00 TO FIX, I FOLLOWED UP WITH SEVERAL OTHER CAR DEALERSHIPS INCLUDING 2 OUT OF TOWN INFINITI DEALERSHIPS. I WAS ADVISED BY WELL QUALIFIED SERVICE GM'S THAT A SEVEN YEAR OLD CAR OF ANY TYPE SHOULD NEVER HAVE THIS TYPE ISSUE AND ESPECIALLY A INFINITI MAKE TYPE CAR. ONE INFINITI MANAGER AT A OUT OF TOWN LOCATION DID ADVISE AFTER CHECKING SERVICE DATA THAT MY MAKE AND MODEL HAS A HISTORY OF THESE TYPE ISSUES. HE AND OTHER SERVICE TECHS STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW INFINITI WAS AVOIDING A NHTSA RECALL, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT AND COULD AND SHOULD HAVE CAUSED NUMEROUS WRECKS. MY DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, EVEN AFTER TALKING TO THE SERVICE GM THEY ONLY DISCOUNTED $300.00 LEAVING MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE PAID $1,025.00 I WO

VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND UNDER BRAKING. JUST LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS NEW TIRES, BALANCING, ALIGNMENTS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE ERRATIC STEERING RETURNS. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN YOUR LANE. ALSO UNDER HEAVY BRAKING THE CAR WILL PULL LEFT OR RIGHT. NEW BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON ALL FOUR CORNERS WHICH ONLY GIVES TEMPORARY RELIEF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT LOW RATE OF SPEED (RUSH HOUR) I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGINE STALL CONDITION. ALL WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON,INCLUDING BRAKE INDICATOR. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT GEAR INTO PARK POSITION AND SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DRIVED HOME. THAT WAS ONE SCARY MOMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI M35X. I'VE HAD IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT, I HAVE NOTICED SUDDEN JERKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE "ALL OVER THE ROAD" I'VE BROUGHT IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED/LOOKED AT, THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, I MOST CERTAINLY CAN TELL SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG! IT'S DANGEROUS, THE WAY THE VEHICLE PULLS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, IN AND OUT OF LANES. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MANY OF WHICH ARE BLAMING A FAULTY STEERING RACK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW WITH THE INFINITI M35. I HAVE HAD ALIGNMENTS AND BRAND NEW TIRES. NEITHER OF THESE ARE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANYONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AFTER LOTS OF RESEARCH, I THINK IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SOMEONE LOOK INTO A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THE STEERING RACK OF THE INFINITI M35 MODELS 2006-2009, AS THESE ARE THE YEARS WHICH LOOK TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LEFT SIDE SUPPORT UNDER MY DRIVER SEAT BROKE. I BEGAN TO FALL BACKWARDS BUT WAS ABLE TO CATCH MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AT SUCH A SLOW SPEED. TWO DAYS LATER, I TOOK MY CAR INTO MY DEALERSHIP EXPECTING THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR THIS GIANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH NO CHARGE TO ME. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW SEAT AND THE COST WOULD BE $1400. I RESPONDED BY SAYING IT SHOULD BE FREE TO FIX, BUT I WOULD PAY UP TO $500 IF THEY WERE TO FIX IT AND OFFER ME A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. THEY REFUSED AND WE ARE NOW AT A STALEMATE. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED M35X AND THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASES HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING TRACKING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR TRACKS TO THE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND PULLS YOU OUT OF THE LANE. TO COUNTER YOU NEED TO DRAMATICALLY PULL THE WHEEL BACK TO COUNTER. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH THE CAR DESIGN OR SET-UP. I HAVE NEW TIRES AND ALIGNMENT AND THIS STILL DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE FULLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FELT THE REAR OF DRIVER SEAT SLIDE INTO CENTER CONSOLE. ATTEMPTED TO READJUST SEAT AT WHICH TIME IT KEPT SLIDING TO CONSOLE. WHEN CHECKING FOR PROBLEM, ENTIRE REAR OF SEAT WAS LIFTED AND THE POWER SEAT UP/DOWN NOT FUNCTIONING. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILURE - DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH 205LB DRIVER, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME FAILED AND FELL APPROX. 1/2 INCH IN LEFT REAR OF SEAT. UPON INSPECTION, APPLYING MINIMAL SIDE PRESSURE TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK IN THE DIRECTION OF THE PASSENGER WILL LIFT LEFT REAR OF SEAT APPROX. 2 INCHES AND FLEX THE SEAT LATERALLY. APPLYING PRESSURE THE REAR OF THE HEADREST TOWARD THE FRONT OF VEHICLE WILL RAISE ENTIRE SEAT APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES AT THE REAR. A FRONTAL ACCIDENT WILL CAUSE THE WEIGHT OF THE SEAT TO BE TRANSMITTED INTO THE BODY OF THE DRIVER AND INCREASE SEAT BELT LOADS AS WELL AS NULLIFY HEAD RESTRAINT PROTECTIONS. IN THE WORST CASE, THE FRONT SEAT BOLTS MAY ALSO FAIL DUE TO THIS KNOW NISSAN SEAT FRAME WELD PROBLEM RESULTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHING FROM THE VEHICLE. UPON CONSULTATION WITH AN INFINITY DEALERSHIP OVER THE TELEPHONE, THE SERVICE REP. IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILURE IN A SEAT FRAME WELD. THE REPLACEMENT PART # 87450EH00A COSTS $759.99 AND LABOR $212.50. THE REP. INDICATED MULTIPLE INFINITY'S HAD BEEN REPAIRED WITH THIS PROBLEM. INFINITY PARTS DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THIS WAS A KNOWN FAILURE IN A SEAT WELD AND THEY KEEP THE PART REGULARLY STOCKED FOR REPAIR. ALSO SEE PE08065 THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO HAS SIMILAR FAILURES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 INFINITI M35X HOME SUNDAY NIGHT AND IT BEGAN TO STALL ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED ON ME. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN ANYMORE AND I BEGAN TO PANIC AS ANOTHER SPEEDY VEHICLE WOULD POTENTIALLY REAR END ME AND MAYBE EVEN KILL ME. I PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND CALLED FOR HELP. MY FUEL GAUGE READ ABOUT A HALF TANK FULL OF GASOLINE. I HAD A FRIEND BRING ME GAS TO SEE IF THAT WAS WHY THIS CAR WOULDN'T START ANYMORE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND I COULD OF GOT MYSELF KILLED IN A BIG ACCIDENT THAT WAY. IDK WHAT TO DO! THE WARRANTY IS NOT VALID ANYMORE AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR
