2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

WELD BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT THAT NOW ALLOWS THE SEAT TO LIFT UP. THIS HAPPENED IN 2015. THE SEAT WILL ALSO NO LONGER MOVE FORWARD.(2020) THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT GEAR WHICH MEANS THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT CONTAINS THE RAIL TRACK. MY WIFE IS MUCH SHORTER THAN I AM AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

MY PCM(POWER/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, MORE THAN $700) HAS A PROBLEM, IT SHUT DOWN THE FAN RANDOMLY. THE ENGINE BECOMES TOO HOT TO DRIVE. I PARKED IT AROUND 4 HOURS TO COOL DOWN. AC IS ALSO NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF THE PCM. IT BLOWS HOT AIR INSIDE THE CAR. THERE IS NEWS ABOUT THE PCM RECALL, BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE SYSTEM. WHY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,695.

CRUSING AT ABOUT 75MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY , MY CARS RPM BOUNCED UP THEN DROPPED DOWN TO 0 , THE CAR BECAME STIFF AND TURNED OFF. I HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTIL ABOUT 30 MINS LATER , I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING. I LATER FIND OUT IT WAS AN ERROR IN THE ECM AND IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THE DRIVER SEAT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST COLLAPSED; FEELING LIKE THE ENTIRE SEAT BROKE/FELL APART. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND LUCKILY NO OTHER CAR WAS COMING MY WAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING BUT HAVING TO SIT UPWARDS ALL THE WAY HOME LOSING SEVERAL INCHES OF VIEWING (BARELY LOOKING AT/OVER THE STEERING WHEEL). I GOT HOME TO CHECK OUT SEAT AND DETERMINED THE SEAT COLLAPSED TO THE FLOOR AND CAN'T BE RAISED; THE SEAT IS UNEVEN TOO. YOU CAN NOW PUSH THE BACK OF THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT UPWARDS AT LEAST 10 INCHES OFF THE GROUND. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND DETERMINED THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH INFINITI DRIVER SEATS WHERE THE BACK BAR WELD BREAKS PREVENTING THE SEAT FROM BEING RAISED AND NOW REMAINS UNEVEN. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS A POSSIBLE REAR END COLLISION/IMPACT WILL CAUSE CATASTROPHIC INJURIES (POSSIBLY DEATH) SINCE YOU WILL BE FORCED UPWARDS INTO THE SEAT BEAT AREA; NOT HOW THE SEAT AND SEAT BELT WERE DESIGNED TO RESTRAIN THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH A SEAT IN MY LIFETIME. I AM SHOCKED THIS ISSUE IS RECURRING WITH INFINITI, YET NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I AM OFFICIALLY REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND I DID TAKE TO THE INFINITI DEALER WHO DIDN'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH FIXING THE ISSUE, ONLY TO ORDER NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE SEAT. I DECLINED THE $2,122.43 REPAIR FOR THIS BROKEN SEAT WELD. IF NHTSA THINKS THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE; SINCE NO RECALL, I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND ADVISE MY PERSONAL ATTORNEYS OF SUCH SO IN THE EVENT ANY BODILY INJURY OCCURS, I WILL HAVE RECOURSE.

THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE OFF AND FELL TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE BROKEN SEAT WELD MAKES THE SEAT LIFT OUT OF THE CAR.

THE POWER STEERING RACK AND BUSHINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON MY VEHICLE WHEN I TURN CORNERS OR BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACES IT CAUSES LEAKING AND LOUD NOISE

TAKATA RECALL. INFINITI IS NOT WORKING WITH US IN GETTING THE RECALL WORK DONE. I LIVE OVER 400 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND INFINITI IS HAVING US PAY TO EITHER, GET A RENTAL CAR OR PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM. OF WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD EITHER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT UNTIL THE RECALL IS DONE.
