2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD AND BACK UNDER BRAKING AND BACK UNDER ACCELERATION. WHILE BRAKING IT WILL PUSH THE DRIVER CLOSER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND COULD CAUSE HARM TO ONES SELF WITH THE SEAT BELT. *TR

INFINITI M35 TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE WHEN CAR REACHED NORMAL RUNNING TEMP. ONLY OPTION SUGGESTED BY INFINITI DEALERSHIP WAS TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION.

ON NOVEMBER 09, 2011 WE WERE INVOLVED IN A FOUR VEHICLE CRASH. WE WERE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN A VEHICLE DRIVING AT LEAST AT 70 MPH STRUCK US FROM BEHIND, CAUSING OUR VEHICLE TO IMPACT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE FRONT. MY VEHICLE WAS A DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE DEPLOYED WITH THE IMPACTS. DUE TO AIRBAG FAILURE MY HUSBAND AND I RECEIVED SEVERE INJURIES. *TR

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! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HINGE SEPARATED FROM THE SOCKET AND THE UPPER PART OF THE SEAT FELL BACK AND COULD NOT BE RECLINED FORWARD. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

HI, I BOUGHT NOT TO LONG AGO THIS VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. HOWEVER RECENTLY THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BROKE, THERE IS A LITTLE ARM THAT ATTACHES TO THE BAR AT THE BACK THAT IS NOT ATTACHED. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SEAT SUDDENLY DROPPED AND I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF REPORTS LIKE THIS ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF RECALL. INFINITI IS A REPUTABLE CAR BUT THIS WORKMANSHIP IS TERRIBLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.I ONLY WEIGHT 170LBS SO I AM SURE THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. *TT

MY 06 INFINITI M35X LIKES TO WANDER OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES WHICH REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTIONS TO KEEP THE CAR ON ITS TRUE PATH. PURCHASED VEHICLE USED WITH NEW TIRES, PASSED INSPECTION BUT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. *TT

THE DRIVERS SEAT BASE BROKE LOOSE FROM THE METAL LEVER THAT ADJUSTS THE HEIGHT OFF THE FLOOR AND THE SEAT TILTED SHARPLY LEFT. THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED LEVEL AND THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN WITH THE BROKEN SEAT POSITION. THIS OCCURRED TWICE ALREADY IN THIS VEHICLE. INFINITI REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY REMEDY OTHER THAN REPLACING THE SEAT AT HUGE EXPENSE TO ME. AN EXAMINATION OF THE SEAT SHOWS NO ABUSE OR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE CONNECTION IS MADE WITH A WEAK WELD THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND NORMAL USE. ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN TO REQUIRE INFINITI TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

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. *TR

**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. *TR
