2006 INFINITI M35 Complaints

THE BRACKET OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE. THE SEAT MOVES SUBSTANTIALLY WHEN BRAKING AND ACCELERATING. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS OVER $1K.

TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE PURCHASED AROUND 2009 IN FLORIDA. AIRBAG SAFETY INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING SOMETIME AROUND EARLY 2015. TOOK VEHICLE FOR SAFETY INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT UPON DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG, EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE IS LIKELY TO CAUSE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER FOR COVERAGE UNDER RECALL, NISSAN / INFINITI REFUSED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG UNDER RECALL, DESPITE POSSIBILITY THAT, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH INVOLVING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG, INFLATOR IS LIKELY TO RUPTURE WITH PEICES OF METAL PROJECTED INTO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WOULD LIKE THE MANUFACTURER TO COVER THIS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY VEHICLE UNDER RECALL # 15V226000, RECALL # 14V701000 OR ANY OTHER RELATED RECALLS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MARCH 1, 2015 DATE OF OCCURRENCE IS APPROXIMATE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT STAY ON THE ROAD, YOU HAVE TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, AND IT IS STILL BACK AND FOURTH. HAVE HAD NEW TIRES PUT OM AND ALIGNMENT DONE, DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IS WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 50MPH.

CAR STEERS VERY IRRATICALLY AT TIMES PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES. ALSO MAKES GROANING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL

I AM TRYING TO GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED USING THE RECALLED TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND I HAVE BEEN GIVEN CONFLICTING INFORMATION. WHEN I ENTER THE VIN OF MY VEHICLE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT DOES NOT RETURN A "HIT" FOR A RECALL. HOWEVER; ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I WAS ADVISED BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY APPLICABLE TO VEHICLES IN HIGH HUMIDITY AREAS AND THEY LISTED THE AFFECTED STATES AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. MARYLAND WAS NOT ON THAT LIST. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL GEOGRAPHIC AREAS BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN A DEFINITIVE ANSWER IF MY VEHICLE IS NOW PART OF THE RECALL. NISSAN CLAIMS IT CANNOT DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED USING TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEMS YET IT SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED. GIVEN THE HIGH DEGREE OF RISK OF DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS I MUST HAVE AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT IF TAKATA AIRBAGS/INFLATORS ARE IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED NISSAN IF THEY CAN INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO MAKE THIS DETERMINATION BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED UNLESS AND UNTIL I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS POSITION IS THAT AN AIRBAG DEFECT COULD BE FATAL. I AM COUNTING ON YOUR AGENCY TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR
