2008 Infiniti M35 complaints

SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH INFINITI M35X (JUST ALL WHEEL DRIVES) WITH TRAMLINING. CAR DANGEROUSLY JERKS AS TIRES TRACK INTO HWY GROOVES AND PAVEMENT GROOVES. THE PROBLEM GENERALLY GOES AWAY IF THE GOODYEAR RSA TIRES ARE REPLACED WITH CERTAIN OTHER BRAND TIRES. INFINITI IGNORES ALL REQUESTS TO REPAIR OR ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. IN SOME CASES, LIKE MINE, THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED BUT THAT ONLY SOLVED PART OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS OCCURS EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR

DEFECT IN THE SEAT HEATERS - INFINITI REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM, STATES IT'S NORMAL, ALTHOUGH WHEN THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, THE NOISE WASN'T PRESENT. IN SITTING IN OTHER CARS, SAME MODEL, SAME YEAR, THIS NOISE ISN'T PRESENT. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2008 INFINITY M35X LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. ON OUR FIRST FREEWAY DRIVE HERE IN THE SEATTLE, WA METRO AREA WE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK IN A VERY UNSAFE WAY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS VIOLENT JERK IS SO SEVERE THAT IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING COMPLETE ATTENTION WHEN ENTERING A SECTION OF TRUCK RUTTING THE CARE WILL LEAVE THE LANE AND SNAP INTO THE NEXT LANE. WITHIN WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE INFINITY OF KIRKLAND DEALERSHIP WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED IT. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE PROBLEM AND MENTIONED THAT OTHER OWNERS HAD BROUGHT THIS MODEL IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THAT WHEN THEY BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY STATED IT WAS A REGIONAL ROAD CONDITION ISSUE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A REPAIR OR ALTERATION. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT A RENTAL VW RABBIT DID NOT SHOW SIMILAR SIGNS OF A JERKING MOTION WHEN TRAVELING THE SAME ROADS. THE DEALERSHIP UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT OTHER MODELS IN THE INFINITY LINE DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WENT ON TO SAY THAT SOME OF THE OTHER OWNERS HAD FILLED COMPLAINTS WITH THE FTC AND DID IN FACT FINALLY GET A SOME RESOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WE HAVE RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC. IN JUST THOSE CASES WHERE COMPLAINTS WERE FILED, THE MANUFACTURER REPLACED THE BRAND OF TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE AND FOR THE MOST PART REPAIRED THE ISSUE. THIS "REPAIR" WAS ONLY DONE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WAS FORCED TO DO

THE STEERING ON THE CAR PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN STOPPING DEPENDING ON THE ROAD PITCH. I TOOK THE CAR INTO INFINITY FOR SERVICE. THE SERVICE MAN SAID NOTHINGS WRONG ALL INFINITI'S DO THAT. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN EASILY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR PULLS INTO THE OTHER LANE. THIS SEEMS TO ME LIKE SOME SORT OF DEFECT IN THE STEERING OR BRAKING OF THE CAR. *TR

2008 INFINITI M35 SPORT HAS A SEVERE TRAMLINING PROBLEM. DRIVING THE CAR ABOVE 60 MPH THE STEERING BECOMES VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE CAR LIKES TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT AND RARELY WANTS TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SOMETIMES THE CAR ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE OTHER LANE. CAR WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT FOR MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE IS AT SLOWER SPEEDS (I.E. COMING TO A STOP) VEHICLES PULLS VERY HARD AS THOUGH IT HAS HIT A LARGE POTHOLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

BRAND NEW 2008 INFINITI M35 SPORT HAS A SEVERE TRAMLINING PROBLEM. DRIVING THE CAR ABOVE 60 MPH THE STEERING BECOMES VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE CAR LIKES TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT AND RARELY WANTS TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SOMETIMES THE CAR ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE OTHER LANE. CAR WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT FOR MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. INFINITI DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. *TR

MY CAR, A 2008 INFINITI M35X, EXHIBITED EXTREME TRAMLINING (POOR ROAD TRACKING) ON INITIAL DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD WANDER ALL OVER A LANE WHEN RIDING ON A RESURFACED TAR LINE OR SIMILAR. IT WAS MORE SEVERE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. COMPLAINT TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN AN IMMEDIATE TIRE REPLACEMENT, FROM GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TO MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 WHICH RESULTED IN SOMEWHAT BETTER ROAD RESPONSE, BUT STILL QUITE SEVERE AND NOTICEABLE EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE FROM ANY CAR, LET ALONE ONE THAT COSTS MORE THAN $50,000. CHECKING VARIOUS FORUMS, I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM. MANY CLAIM THAT CHANGING OUT THE STEERING RACK SOLVES THE PROBLEM. IT'S CLEARLY DANGEROUS AS IT STANDS AND NISSAN/INFINITI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT IT. *TR

THE AUTOMOBILE TRAMLINES CONSISTENTLY AND, UNDER SOME CONDITIONS, THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. *TR

STEERING MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE. STEERING WHEEL TRAMLNES AND WANDERS. UNSAFE LANE CHANGE. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL "TRAMLINES" AND TURNS UNCONTROLLABLY. AT LOW SPEEDS , AND BEFORE THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, THE STEERING WHEEL MAY COME TO REST AT A 30 DEGREE ANGLE. *TR
