2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

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

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

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
