2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

2006 INFINITI M35 STEERING ISSUE. I REPLACED THE TIRES HAD A ALIGNMENT AND THE CAR STILL HAS A TREMBLING ISSUE. *TR

A VARIOUS TIMES AND UNDER VARYING CONDITIONS MY VEHICLE WILL DART TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. QUICK STEERING CORRECTION HAS BEEN REQUIRED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM DEPARTING THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS NEARLY LEAD TO A COLLISION. *TR

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. *TR

2006 INFINITI M35X IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR WANTS TO PULL LEFT OR RIGHT AND REQUIRES HEAVY STEERING EFFORT TO CORRECT AND MAINTAIN POSITION IN LANE. SO SEVERE THAT HANDS ARE SORE AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECKED. NEITHER HAD ANY IMPACT ON ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE AN '06 INFINITI M35X. THE STEERING BUCKED AND ROLLED AND GENERALLY MOVED ERRATICALLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS PRETTY REGULAR. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED-REDUCED THE ACTION-BUT NOT COMPLETELY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG W/THE STEERING OF THIS MACHINE. *TR

2006 INFINITI M35X. STEERING PULLS LEFT AND/OR RIGHT FOR NO APPARENT REASON ON GOOD ROADS AND BAD. DEALER SAYS, 'IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.' NEW TIRES. NO DIFFERENCE. NEW ALIGNMENT. NO DIFFERENCE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 INFINITI M35 SPORT WITH 43,000 MILES THAT IS EXHIBITING ERRATIC AND 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 AND ~2/3 TREAD DEPTH LEFT). I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS CALLED "TRAMLINING". PLEASE HELP LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TAKES SOMEONE'S LIFE.

I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI M35 ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH 49,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY WANDER AND PULL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. DURING CASUAL DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES PULL SO ABRUPTLY THAT IT CAUSES ME TO LEAVE THE LANE. I FEAR THAT ONE DAY THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE PULLING OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PROPER ORDER. AS AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC, I FEEL I AM QUALIFIED TO SAY THAT THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS, AND INFINITI SHOULD OFFER SOME SORT OF RECALL. *TR

MY 2006 INFINTII M35 FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS LOCKED SHUT, CANT GET IT OPEN. INFINITI SAYS ITS AN ACTUATOR AND IT'LL COST ANYWHERE FROM 500 TO 600....FROM WHAT IM LEARNING, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUES THAT INFINITI MUST RECALL! *TR

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. *TR
