STEERING

on mildly rutted highway surfaces, such as i-5 and i405, vehicle jerks to the left and right, requiring aggressive steering wheel management to keep the car in the proper lane of travel. on heavily worn surfaces, like i-90 in spokane, the car will jerk hard enough to the left and right to swerve into the next lane on either side. dealer says this is a common complaint on m35x (all wheel drive) only. was advised by infiniti dealer to increase tire air pressure to 37psi front and 33psi rear. this helped but not substationally this is a dangerous vehicle! no accident, yet! there needs to be a design change before i get killed of kill someone else.

STEERING

when driving on freeway the car pulls to right or left hard for no reason, this is not a out of alignment issue, car just had a 4 wheel alignment. this is very dangerous at high speeds. i think it is a steering rack issue and needs to be addressed with nissan before someone gets killed by loosing control of car.

STEERING

2007 infiniti m35x - has a major steering problem! went to a nissan dealer had 4 wheel alignment, balanced and rotated tires, and problem still exist. steering wheel violently slams from left to right under normal operating conditions. it's like someone else is trying to take over the steering for you. this happens at very low speeds, and on the smallest dip in the road. very different from tramlining. any slight dip in the road causes the steering wheel to slam left and right. i have a ford escort that handles the road better than this infiniti, and this is unacceptable for a luxury vehicle. please act on these complaints. most american's are not rich to just switch vehicles.

TIRES

i have a 2007 infiniti m35x and have noticed a pronounced problem that i recently learned is termed "tramlining". i have noticed the problem mostly at highway speeds on the interstate. when i change lanes, as the car moves to the center of the lane that i am coming from there is a very distinct pull on the steering wheel and feel as though the car is coming out of a rut. as the car completes the maneuver to the adjacent lane it literally swerves abruptly into the rut in the new lane, which again pulls the steering wheel and is very distinct. this problem is an annoyance during dry and clear weather conditions; however, in degraded weather snow, ice, or even wet pavements it is downright scary and in my opinion presents a significant safety hazard. from what i have read this is not unique. i was researching new tires (suspecting this could be the cause, along with a good alignment). in the course of my research i found others with the same complaint. by the way, my tires are not in need of replacement as yet and the alignment was performed approximately 6 months ago. i would hope that with the problems toyota went through recently that someone looks into this problem before someone is injured or worse.

SEATS

2006 and 2007 infiniti m35's have well documented problems with the seat track breaking. it actually starts off by the seat sliding back and forth during braking and accelerating. it then gets progressively worse as time goes on till the seat rail itself breaks. at that point the seat moves and leans into the center console. i had a 2006 infiniti m35 with this problem and i now have a 2007 infiniti m35 with it. the dealer cost to fix is $1200.00. infiniti owners are not having this fixed due to the cost and are driving a vehicle that should be considered a safety hazard. infiniti will not fix this if its out of warranty. this should be considered a recall. i only hope that this small complaint will be the one that makes something happen. thank you. *js

SEATS

front driver seat tilts towards center console. the seat rubs against the console when the seat is adjusted upon entry and remains tilted at an angle causing back pain on extended drives. my mechanic and an infiniti dealer have both said i need to replace the seat assembly for a total cost of $1200. the dealer service representative acknowledges that this problem has been seen before with these cars, but infiniti was not doing anything for their customers regarding about this common problem. in my nearly 40 years of driving, the vast majority of it on much cheaper and less luxurious cars, i have never had a seat assembly bend or break. this is a defect in this car. this problem and infiniti's lack of support will deleteriously affect my decision to purchase an infiniti in the future.

SEATS

while braking i feel the seat slids forward. then when accelerated the seat slids back. i contacted the dealer, they are aware of the issue, but will not repair it because it is out of warranty. this is a safety issue, as it could cause the driver to engage the brake or gas peddle greater than anticipated due to the movement of the seat.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

in late 2012, i noticed hairline cracks beginning to form in various areas of my vehicle's leather dashboard. in approximately may-june of 2013, i notified infiniti corporate customer service of this event. i was advised to bring the vehicle to my infiniti dealer so they could create an incident report and gather photos. then a review committee would decide whether infiniti would replace the dash or provide some compensation toward replacement. in september, 2013, i received a letter stating that since the auto was out of the new warranty period, that infiniti would not take any action, nor responsibility for this defect. since this time, the problem has further deteriorated and i have read of numerous other consumer complaints. contrary to the reasoning for disallowing a remedy for the dash, in 2013 also, i received an unsolicited letter extending the vehicle warranty for potential peeling or cracking in the wood door trim of my vehicle.
