2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS TURNED TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND THE RIGHT BACK SIDE OF THE SEAT WAS TWISTED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED TWO DAYS AFTER I FILED MY COMPLAINT WITH NHSTA, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE. LUCKILY I HAD JUST SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. IF I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCUREED I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE SEAT FRAME SUDDENLY BROKE THIS WOULD HAVE PUT ME INTO A BAD POSITION IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED FURTHER INJURY. I PURCHASED A NEW SEAT FRAME WITH MOTORS FOR MY CAR FROM THE INFINITI DEALER AND HAD THE SEAT REPAIRED BY THE VALLEY UPHOLSTERY SHOP. SEE ATTACHED PARTS AND REPAIR RECEIPTS. UPDATED 11/01/18*JB

EVER SINCE THE PURCHASE OF 00THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SEAT SLIDES FORWARD 3 TO 4 INCHES WHEN BRAKING WHEN TRAVELING FORWARD, EVERY TIME. THIS HAS CAUSED THE DRIVER'S FEET TO SLIP OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, RELEASING THE BRAKE AND ALMOST COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR OBJECTS AHEAD.

TOOK CAR INTO INFINITI DEALER FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY DAMAGED AND CRACKED DASH BOARD.THEIR WERE NO VISIBLE CRACKS BEFORE UNTIL I GOT MY CAR BACK.SHOWED TO SERVICE MANGER AND HE SAID THAT DASH HAD CRACKS IN IT ALREADY, WHICH I KNOW ISN'T TRUE.ANY HELP OB THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, SO I CALLED A FAMILY MEMBER TO GIVE ME A JUMP. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM PICKING THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD STILL BE ON BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I HAD IT TOWED TO AAA CAR CARE CENTER, WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT I MAY NEED TO HAVE THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS REPLACED. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND READING COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS AND FORUM POSTS FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I DECIDED NOT TO PAY THE $751. I READ MANY POSTS FROM OTHER INFINITI OWNERS WHOSE CAR WOULD CUT OFF WHILE BEING OPERATED, WHO PAID TONS OF MONEY TO GET THEIR SENSORS REPLACED, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM RETURN. I DROVE MY CAR HOME FROM AAA BUT NOT WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT. VERY DANGEROUS. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO ZONE TO CHECK THE BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED DUE TO THE RECENT (TAKATA) AIRBAG RECALL. WHILE THERE, I HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR. THEY FOUND A BUNCH OF CODES, BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY CAR. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE ENGINE IS GOING TO STALL ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I'M DRIVING AT 60 MPH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG INFINITI OWNERS.

DRIVER SEAT LEANING TOWARD THE DOOR AND LOOSE. WELD BROKE FROM FRAME. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE BOLT UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT THAT SECURES THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR SNAPPED SO THAT NOW MY SEAT IS NO LONGER SECURELY BOLTED DOWN. THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED.

AS I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ADJUSTED MY DRIVER'S SEAT UPWARDS, I HEARD SOMETHING POP AND IT SUNK DOWN COMPLETELY. FROM THAT MOMENT ON I HAD TO RAISE MYSELF UP TO BE ABLE TO LOOK OVER THE DASHBOARD. MY SIGHT IS DEFINITELY IMPAIRED AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. I ALSO FOUND THAT THIS IS A REAL HAZARD IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE CHAIR IS NOW DETACHED. THE ESTIMATE TO FIX THIS IS AROUND $1100. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND DANGEROUS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE DANGER WHEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL. TO DATE, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE FROM INFINITI ANY CONTACT REGARDING REPAIR FOR MY VEHICLE. INITIAL NOTIFICATION WAS THE LATTER PART OF 2016 OR EARLY 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST AND STATED THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED BY AN UNKNOWN DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO INCIDENT OCCURRED. WE WERE WITHOUT OUR VEHICLE FOR THE DAY IT WAS BEING REPAIRED.
