EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

there is a horizontal band of blackness between the area illuminated by the low beam headlights and the highbeam headlights. this creates a blind spot and a serious potential hazard when driving at night. the high beam head lights appear to be aimed very high; they illuminate the mid and upper sections of trees very well but not the road in front of the vehicle. i returned the car to the dealer who indicated the headlights were properly aimed. furthermore the dealer indicated that the high beams cannot be aimed independent of the low beams. i was referred to infiniti's regional representative. this individual confirmed that there is no separate adjustment for high and low beams. he also indicated his belief that the dealer had properly evaluated my problem. (how he would know this escapes me) as a result i continue to have a vehicle with this hazardous defect putting my safety and that of others in jeopardy. *nm

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

dt: the contact states there was a problem with the headlights. the beam from the lights will show the road for no more than ten to fifteen feet in front of the vehicle. this is because of the computer leveling system positioning the light beam closer to the vehicle than necessary. he feels that under normal driving conditions braking distances would exceed the amount of lighted area. when he contacted the manufacturer, they said that the lights were designed to do this. *ak updated 11/29/2005 - *nm updated 01/11/06. *jb

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC

i just bought a brand new 2006 infiniti m35 on october of 2005 from miller ifiniti in the city of van nuys ca. i barely have 3 months with this car and the brakes are already squeaking. i called the service department and spoke to carl miller (manager of the service department) and advised in detail of the "squeaking problem of my vehicle" he literally told me "quote on quote" to get on the freeway and on the way out of the exit to brake really hard - that would supposedly fixed the problem. i said no, i told him that i was going to take my car in for him to check it, then he said, that it would not matter because, he would tell me the same thing once i got there (basically, send me back home). the brakes are squeaking really bad to be such a new car. i refuse to put myself or my family in danger following the procedures given from carl miller (service manager). i seriously think, there is something wrong with the brakes/discs of this models (i believe that this is a safety issue that should be resolved right away). according to carl miller this is normal protocol for such problems. i refuse to believe that infinti supposedly a luxury brand expects the customer to do this horrendous procedure due to their poorly made vehicles (poor engineering). if this problem is not resolved, i will never again buy from infiniti. in the future i look forward to lexus and acura real luxury vehicles. *jb

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

i was backing into my driveway, when i stepped on the brake the car accelerated and did not stop until it hit a concrete wall in my backyard, knocking it down. i contacted infiniti consumer affairs. i was advised not to move the car, a dealer technician would be sent to look at the car. finally, almost two months later, on 11/1 i had the car towed to a dealership and the technician looked at it on 11/2. all he did was drive the car, he did not do any diagnostic testing. i am still waiting for the results. i am very disappointed with inifiniti's customer service, it stinks. my insurance co., state farm, which i thought i could depend on to get things done, such as demanding more detailed testing, etc., did nothing. no one seems concerned with the fact that someone could be seriously injured or killed as a result of this problem. i am terrified of having to drive that car again. *nm

bought car in oct/2008. after first month noticed erratic steering problems. searched online and found several others who had same problem. car pulls to right or left very erratically even on smooth flat roads. took car to only infiniti dealership 3 times. they drove car and suggested i buy new tires before they would look at any steering issues. the tires that were on the car only had 3000 miles on them. replaced tires anyway with second set. car still had same problems. took car back to dealership, tech drove 6 miles and said nothing was wrong with the car. called infiniti consumer affairs to notify of the problem and poor service from infiniti dealership. consumer affairs spoke with dealership and both refused to fix the car. this car is under factory warranty with an extended warranty and was told that this steering is normal for the car and they were not going to fix it. i even gave them contact info for other dealers that have replaced parts on other cars for the same problem. this car is unsafe. dealer did not take time put on the rack to inspect or properly test drive. terrible dealership with terrible service!!

tramlining on infiniti m35x.

Reported in: CARPENTERSVILLE IL || Crash: N || VIN #: JNKAY01FX6M

STEERING

normal driving on highway the car suddenly pulled to the left moving in to the oncoming traffic lane then pulled side to side. aggressive counter steering and slowing down was required to get the car to straighten out. dry road 65 mph this is apparently a recurring problem with m35's. fortunately the oncoming lane was clear or there would have been a head on. this is a serious defect which should be forced to be corrected by infiniti. had a previous experience like this and replaced the tires and got an alignment. this did not help it is a steering system problem. this is a serious recurring steering control problem that is well documented by owners on blogs and owner sites like http://forums.nicoclub.com please note that there are a relatively few number of m35x models on the road so high accident rates are not going to be apparent. this should be a recalled item now.

STEERING

i own a 2006 infiniti m35x and this car suffers terribly from erratic handling, often referred to as tramlining. this car is almost uncontrollable on rutted or crowned roads at any speed and requires constant corrective steering to avoid having this car 'dart' into the oncoming traffic or off the highway completely. my wife will not drive this car because of this defect. this problem has been reported numerous times for this model year and later, yet no recall or advisory has been posted. this design flaw will kill, and probably has killed, someone if it is not corrected. dealers frequently attribute this to tire type/brand, tire wear, or alignment but the comments of others posting make it clear that these are not solutions. the problem persists after these steps are taken. the steering rack design is flawed and only after this is replaced does this problem go away.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE

the navigation (map) screen turns off when a phone call is placed or received. infiniti went to great lengths to create a system that allows for both hands free navigation and phone use. however some ridiculous reason they opted to replace the map screen with a screen that tells you your on the phone. this requires one to get lost if following the navigation or pull off to the side of the road until your off the phone. as far as i know this problem still exists in the 2009 model as well.

i own a 2006 infiniti m35-s which suffers from tramlining. the car is very difficult to control on rutted or crowned roads, and when approaching at stoplight at speeds as low as 10mph, the car will yank itself into the next lane over, requiring me to counter steer it. my dealer claims this is normal for a car of this type, but i also own a g35 of the same year which doesn't have this issue. this problem has been reported numerous times for this model year and later, yet no recall or advisory has been posted.

STEERING

my 2006 infiniti m35x will unexpectedly wonder across lanes. sometimes it goes straight then suddenly it will veer right or left. i have taken it to the dealer and verified the alignment was correct. dealer told me try new tires, which i did. nothing corrects the issue. i have found many many discussions on this issue and it appears a faulty rack and pinion but the company will not replace it unless you still have warranty left. this is a major safety issue and almost resulted in an accident many times. my wife now refuses to drive the car as it pulled her off the road.

EQUIPMENT

on july, 22, 2009, my 2006 infiniti m35x accelerated out of control. i had parked the car and it took off , went through a metal fence, through some bushes and pulled a pole from the ground. the pole lodged at the bottom of the car and stopped the car which had not responded to the brakes. i was close to a brick building and would have been seriously injured or killed (according to the police) if the car had kept on going. a policemen who came to my rescue was convinced that i had accelerated instead of braking and wrote that in his police report. with what is happening with toyota, i feel vindicated because others have had the same reaction from the police.when their cars have gone out of control. i notified infiniti of the accident and they were willing to send someone to look at the car, but they insisted on the police report. of course, the report put all the responsibility with me and i didn't fight it until i started hearing from victims of the toyota debacle. it never came to pass, as someone was willing to buy my damaged car and i was happy to get rid of it, as i never would have felt comfortable driving it again.several months later, i started to hear about toyota's problems and it struck a chord. i think the infinitis need to check their cars and it remains to be seen if this problem has happened to other infiniti drivers. other people who had driven my car were not comfortable with it, their criticism being that it was too peppy and hard to control. i did not repair the car, but used the insurance and the sale amount toward buying a new car.

STEERING

when making right turns the steering vibrates and loud noise. the issue is the steering rack on awd models. infiniti canada did not want to replace it since my vehicle is out of warranty by 5000km. i have a big concern that at some point the steering rack might fail and lead to a crash. this issue should definitely be covered by infiniti. there are numerous reports of this problem, and infiniti even has a technical bulletin regarding this problem, and an updated part that is supposed to fix the issue. the price of the part alone is 1000$, and i think that infiniti should cover the costs, because it is a factory warranty.

STEERING

i own a 2006 infiniti m35 x (44,000 miles) that is exhibiting very alarming steering characteristics. at highway speeds, braking to a stop, or riding over uneven roads the steering will pull very hard to the left or right (inconsistently) to the point where i must actively and constantly work to keep it centered (tire pressure is at spec). i have been to the dealerabout the issue but the say that they don't see a problem. it has been exhibiting this issue since i purchased the car. it is not just a one time thing but everytime drive the car.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

i have a 2006 infiniti m35 with 42k miles. while driving, the engine stopped responding to the accelerator. i pushed the accelerator to the floor and tried pumping the pedal and nothing. the engine sat at an idle and would not respond. as i approached a stop light with stopped traffic and began to apply the brakes, the car began to accelerate by itself. let me be clear that i was applying the brakes and felt the brakes beginning to slow the vehicle when the engine began to race. i was able to overcome the engine trying to accelerate and bring the car to a stop without impacting other traffic. but, i was sitting parked at the stop light with the brake mashed to the floor while the engine tachometer continued to register 2500 rpms. i managed to make it to the nearby dealership where i bought the vehicle. along the way, the engine rpms continued to jump erratically causing sudden uncontrolled acceleration. the dealership performed diagnostics on the car and determined that the throttle position sensor had failed and was sending erroneous data to the car?s computer. in my view, this vehicle has fundamental engineering and design flaws that present a risk to the larger public when a sensor failure can cause sudden uncontrolled acceleration. moreover, when applying the brakes does not override the programming logic and stop the engine from racing, there is obviously a greater opportunity for improved safety logic. while, i managed to safely navigate the resulting hazards this time, next time i may not be so lucky.

STEERING

car drives fine until there is any kind of small bumps, indentations, potholes, etc on the road. once it hits an area that is not 100% flat the steering goes crazy. even when changing lanes and you drive over one of the reflectors on the road to mark traffic lanes the car will move severely one direction and force you to make a hard and fast correction to avoid hitting something or someone. i have almost hit curbs, center dividers, other cars, and concrete construction walls on multiple occasions. while this problem happens in a significant way at higher speeds, it happens even more so at lower speeds.

1.went in for brake work and afterwards, the front wheel bearing started to make noises. took back to dealer and was instructed that the front wheel bearing was bad. 2. bad front wheel bearing, seems to occur quite often on infiniti m series models. the consequence is that the bearing could lock up and either throw the vehicle off path from the direction being traveled and potentially overheat and catch fire. 3. the part was replaced, but i do believe this is way premature for wheel bearings to be going out. brakes, i understand, but not wheel bearings.

STEERING

**steering issue.****when coming to stops doing local driving, vehicle front end steers to either side of road, but more so to the right. it often feels as thou front steering system is loose. when driving at highway speeds it is even worst, car wants to pull to left or right aggressively and requires constant correction of direction of steering as im driving. living in nyc where road quality isn't exactly peachy, this is dangerous issue. i've changed tires and got an alignment, however the issue still remains. reported it to the dealership, but was not given any resolution to the issue. the new tires and alignment did not correct the issue. there needs to be a proper investigation into this matter and a recall done. especially if it turns out that so many people are reporting the issue. such a large number of customers cant be doing something wrong and have the same issue.

my infiniti m35x accelerated unexpectedly during parking causing me to crash into a building and resulting in $10k worth of vehicular damage. the impact jarred me such that i temporarily became disoriented and was unsure of "what just happened." a second incident of such nature occurred when the car unexpectedly accelerated, almost causing the vehicle to careen over a railing at a local shopping center. in the former instance there was no property or physical damage. the vehicle often surges without pressure to the gas pedal or when pressing the brake.

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!

SEATS

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. enclosed are similar m35 and murano seat failures. odi id number : 10243332 odi id number : 10452830 odi id number : 10466301 odi id number : 10480060 odi id number : 10434271 odi id number : 10432735 odi id number : 10424657 odi id number : 10402453 odi id number : 10382566 odi id number : 10296221 odi id number : 10480152 odi id number : 10479311 odi id number : 10477742 odi id number : 10475191 odi id number : 10475187 odi id number : 10475041 odi id number : 10473627 ..and atleast 50 additional odi's for 2006 nissan murano are available.

STEERING

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.

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.
