2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO KEEP DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN 2 COLLISIONS. FORTUNATELY I HAD A SECURED SEAT BELT FASTENED.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED FIRST RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016. CONTACTED INFINITI DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO (210)824-1272 AND WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD NOT COME IN UNTIL OCTOBER 2016. MY NAME AND VIN WERE PLACED ON A "LIST". CALLED SAME DEALER OCT 2016, NO PARTS YET. CALLED DEALER AGAIN APRIL 15, 2017 STILL NO PARTS AND TOLD I WILL BE CALLED WHEN PARTS COME IN (SPOKE WITH "MIKE"). CALLED DEALER AGAIN JUNE 7, 2017 AND SPOKE WITH JORGE - TOLD THAT AIRBAGS CAME IN BUT DEALERSHIP HAS TO WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT DASHES DUE TO THEM "BREAKING" WHEN REMOVED TO REPLACE AIR BAG. JORGE HAD NO IDEA IF OR WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PARTS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AGAIN SEPT. 2017 AND SAME SONG & DANCE. NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO WITH THIS CAR NOW? WORTHLESS TO TRADE IN DUE TO RECALL (SEEMS IMMORAL TOO) AND A DANGER TO MY FAMILY????

MY CAR VIBRATES WHEN I'M DRIVING EVEN AT 40MPH, IT STARTED WITH ONLY THE STEERING SHAKING, NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE MY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS AT RISK. IT IS AT THE POINT WHERE DRIVING OVER THE SMALLEST CRACK OR DENT A THE PHYSICALLY SWAY OR MAKE MY CAR BEER OFF COURSE.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT SLIDES FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AND BACKWARD WHEN ACCELERATING. THE SEAT WILL ALSO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND AT ANY SPEED.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LAST WEEK, I FELT THE NEED TO ADJUST MY SEAT A LITTLE BIT. I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT UP AND I HEAD A POP SOUND AND I IMMEDIATELY SUNK INTO THE SEAT AND UNABLE TO SEE THE HOOD OF THE CAR BUT THE DASH. I MANAGED TO FIND THE NEAREST EXIT AND REALIZED THE MOTOR TO LIFT THE SEAT WAS ONLY LIFTING ONE SIDE OF THE SEAT. I COULD LIFT IT WITH MY HAND BUT FALLS ON THE FLOOR WHEN I LET IT GO. LUCKY NO CAR WAS IN FRONT OR CLOSELY BEHIND ME. I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AND I HAVE AN INVOICE FOR OVER $1000. THAT IS NOT FAIR.

TYPICAL NISSAN FRONT AXLE FAILURE. APPARENTLY IT'S VERY COMMON. IT STARTED AS A SMALL NOISE AND NOW THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FRONT AXLE IS DESTROYED. IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND INFINITI CARS WITH 4WD. SADLY THERE IS NO RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE ON 7/8/17 AT THE INFINITI DEALERS IN MARIETTA, GEORGIA. AS A RESULT MY DASHBOARD WAS DAMAGED ON THE PASSANGER SIDE NEAR THE THE BUNT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT THERE BEFORE THE WORK WAS DONE. I WAS SO UPSET ABOUT THIS! I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT DAMAGE WOULD OCCUR DUE TO THE REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE FOR THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. GOT MY CAR AND A BOLT WAS LEFT LYING ON THE FLOOR. I DID MAKE THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WELLS WALKER AND HE SAID THEY USED ANOTHER BOLT THEY COULDN'T FIND THAT ONE BUT IT WAS RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR?! THE DASHBOARD HAD SOME CRACKS BUT NOTHING LIKE WHAT THE PIECED TOGETHER AND GAVE ME MY CAR BACK. THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT FROM REPLACING THE AIRBAG. WHY IS IT GOING YO COST ME?? I DID NOT BREAK MY DASHBOARD. HELP. WHAT CAN I DO?
