2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

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

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

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

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
