2007 INFINITI M35 Problems

Failure of Occupant Detection Sensor. Air bag light keeps blinking.

There are cracks all along the airbags in the front of the vehicle just like the previous recalled Infiniti models

I am filing a complaint regarding a safety-related failure of the driver’s seat bracket in my vehicle. The bracket has broken, causing the driver’s seat to rock back and forth while the vehicle is in motion. I took the vehicle to an authorized dealer for inspection, and they confirmed that the seat bracket has failed. I was also informed that the replacement part is no longer in production and is unavailable. This condition poses a significant safety risk. A loose or unstable driver’s seat can impair vehicle control, increase driver distraction, and reduce the effectiveness of seatbelt and airbag systems in the event of a crash. As a result, this defect substantially increases the likelihood of an accident and the risk of serious injury. I am aware that there have been numerous similar complaints regarding this issue, yet no recall has been issued. Given the safety implications and apparent frequency of this defect, I believe this matter warrants further investigation and corrective action.

I was driving home recently and the back of my seat near the base gave out on me, the lower back/bottom raising motor was working but the seat was not going up. Upon inspection I found that the welds on the seat bracket had broken, going online and searching found me countless forums of seat brackets breaking during driving. Two main issues with this 1. I almost lost control due to the sudden drop 2. If I was to get into a collision the seat is not secure whatsoever. This is not an uncommon issue and I am astonished no recall has been given Sources of similarity [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THIS CAR HAS AN UNDRIVABLE ISSUE OF TRAMLINING. IT IS SO HARD TO STEAR WHEN THERE ARE GROOVES OR ROAD IMPERFECTIONS...UNLIKE ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. AN INFINITI MECHANIC TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THE STEERING RACK. I CAN CHANGE THE STRUTS/SHOCKS AND PUT NEW TIRES AND THAT WILL NOT HELP...I HAVE BEEN TOLD. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR. IT IS SO JITTERY TO STEAR, I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT. UPDATE: I SPENT $450 AT THE INFINITI DEALER TO TRY AND FIX THE STEERING. RESET A SENSOR AND ALIGNMENT. NOTHING CHANGED. CONSTANT TRAMLINING. I AM TOLD THAT A REDESIGNED STEERING COLUMN WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE CAR WILL NOT STAY STRAIGHT ON A SMOOTH STRAIGHT ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS IN CORNERING.

WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE MY CAR SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AND IWOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE SLIP INDICATOR/VOC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL I WAS ABLE TO DO WAS MAKE IT TO THE EXIT WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR WAS THE CAUSE. I TESTED BOTH AND BOTH WERE GOOD. I WAS BEEN TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM AND HAD BEEN AT A LOSS UNTIL I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE DISCOVERING THAT SEVERAL 07 INFINITY MODELS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SIMILAR ISSUE AS MINE.

I AM GETTING A CODE OF P1772 LOW COAST SOLENOID VALVE WITHIN THE TRANSMIT ION. WHEN THIS DOES THIS THE ENGINE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD, AND WILL JUST COAST AND WE HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HAS IT PROCEDURE TO DIAGNOSE IT. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT THE TIME. FAULTY CENSOR WITHIN THE VALVE BODY. INFINITY PART NUMBER: 3175017X4E

2007 INFINITI M35. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DASHBOARD EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT- MELTS/ STICKY, EMITS A CHEMICAL ODOR AND DISPLAYS CRACKS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. UPDATED 06/19/2017*JS

THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND PROFESSIONALLY DETAILED...I NOTIFIED INFINITI ABOUT MY DASHBOARD CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES AND GOT NOWHERE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. NOW, MANY MORE CRACKS HAVE OCCURRED AND THE DASHBOARD NOW IS ALSO SOFTENING TO THE POINT THAT I GET GLARE IN MY WINDSHIELD AND THE DASH IS SO SOFT THAT IT IS VERY TACKY AND IF ACCIDENTALLY IS HIT WITH A FINGERNAIL, THE SURFACE COMES RIGHT OFF LIKE PUTTY.

2007 INFINITI M35X, HAS A TRAMLINING ISSUE WITH THE STEERING RACK SYSTEM. TODAY WHILE DRIVING IT FORCED ME OUT OF MY LANE AND I NEARLY STRUCK THE ADJACENT VEHICLE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRES ARE DISINTEGRATING AFTER 28K MILES. THEY ARE WARRANTIED FOR 45K. I DO NOT DRIVE ON GRAVEL NOR DO I DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. *TR

Electrical fault in a sensor that I believe causes the engine to shut down. This issue was reported to Infiniti but not corrected; although, Nissan issued a voluntary recall citing a sensor failure that can lead to engine shutdown.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A NORMAL CITY STREET IN REGULAR TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD, POWERED BY THE SEAT CONTROL. I REACHED DOWN TO PUSH THE LEVER/SEAT CONTROL BACK, BUT THE SEAT MOTOR WOULD NOT STOP; IT PUSHED THE SEAT FULLY FORWARD. I STOPPED THE CAR TO MOVE IT BACK AND WAS UNABLE TO. THE OTHER SEAT FUNCTIONS WORKED: UP, DOWN, TILT, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST THREE TIMES THE SEAT MOTOR HAS STARTED WORKING AGAIN OF ITS OWN ACCORD. THIS TIME IT IS STILL STUCK FORWARD.

MY DRIVE SHAFT BROKE WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 65MPH. THE DRIVE SHAFT THEN BANG A MASSIVE DENT IN THE ENGINE. 1200$ I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALIVE TO REPORT THIS

THIS CAR SHOULD BE CALLED, IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE ENGINE JUST STOPS. I WAS DRIVING ALONG, WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR JUST DIED, WHEN I STOPPED, I COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT DIDN'T HAVE GAS OR THE BATTERY DIED. A LIGHT SAYING VDC (SLIPPED) TURNED ON AS WELL AS THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON. I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT STARTED. THE ENGINE STOPPED WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN SO I STARTED TO PULL OVER AND THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED ON LINE AND THE INFINITI G35 WAS RECALLED FOR THIS REASON AND SINCE MY CAR IS AN M35 THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE RECALL. HERE IS THE INFO ON THE G35 RECALL AND SEE MY BILL ATTACHED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENGINE STALLING ON INFINITI G35 THE CRANKSHAFT ANGLE SENSOR OR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN FAIL AND CAUSE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, AN ENGINE THAT CUTS OUT, AND OTHER DRIVABILITY PROBLEMS. THIS WILL CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. CERTAIN MODELS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A RECALL TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS.

I HAVE A 2007 INFINITI M35X AND HAVE NOTICED A PRONOUNCED PROBLEM THAT I RECENTLY LEARNED IS TERMED "TRAMLINING". I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I CHANGE LANES, AS THE CAR MOVES TO THE CENTER OF THE LANE THAT I AM COMING FROM THERE IS A VERY DISTINCT PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND FEEL AS THOUGH THE CAR IS COMING OUT OF A RUT. AS THE CAR COMPLETES THE MANEUVER TO THE ADJACENT LANE IT LITERALLY SWERVES ABRUPTLY INTO THE RUT IN THE NEW LANE, WHICH AGAIN PULLS THE STEERING WHEEL AND IS VERY DISTINCT. THIS PROBLEM IS AN ANNOYANCE DURING DRY AND CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS; HOWEVER, IN DEGRADED WEATHER SNOW, ICE, OR EVEN WET PAVEMENTS IT IS DOWNRIGHT SCARY AND IN MY OPINION PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS NOT UNIQUE. I WAS RESEARCHING NEW TIRES (SUSPECTING THIS COULD BE THE CAUSE, ALONG WITH A GOOD ALIGNMENT). IN THE COURSE OF MY RESEARCH I FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. BY THE WAY, MY TIRES ARE NOT IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AS YET AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO. I WOULD HOPE THAT WITH THE PROBLEMS TOYOTA WENT THROUGH RECENTLY THAT SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

TIRES DO NOT MAINTAIN PRESSURE. AIR NEEDS TO BE ADDED EVERY WEEK OR MORE. ALL FOUR WHEELS SHOW EXCESSIVE CORROSION. I REQUESTED INFINITI OF AMERICA TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT THEY DISMISSED THE CLAIM. VEHICLE IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE CORROSION WARRANTY. THEIR POSITION IS THAT THE WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED. SAFETY CONCERN IS THE TIRES ARE ALWAYS UNDER OR OVER INFLATED UNDER INFLATED. DEALER AND MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI M35X - MODEL YEAR 2007. *TR

I HAVE A VERY STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD THAT IS AFFECTING THE VISIBILITY AND GLARE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI M35. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THROUGH A SNOW STORM THE REAR DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO KEEP PULLING OFF THE ROAD TO CLEAR THE REAR WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER , WHO STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,200, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800. *AK

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRESPOND TO AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. WHEN CAR IS EMPTY FUEL GAUGE CONTINUES TO SHOW 1/4 TANK LEADING TO DANGEROUS STALLS IN TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2003-2004 M45 VEHICLES FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INSERTED A VALVE COVER IN THE FUEL TANK TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,480 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,580.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE NATIONAL REDWOOD PARK I-101 SOUTH BOUND JUST 100 MILE SOUTH OF EUREKA, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND CAME WITH LOUD NOISE, THEN JUST BIG WHITE SMOKE EVERYWHERE, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE BUT FINALLY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, ASKED MY WIFE & MY KID GO OUT IMMEDIATELY FOR THE POTENTIAL FIRE, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS EVERYWHERE. AFTER TOOK LONG TIME AND LONG NEGOTIATION TO TOW MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER ABOUT 100 MILE AWAY, THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE: THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSE DETACHED FROM THE COOLER DUE TO INADEQUATE CLAMPING, ALLOWING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK. WHICH IS EXACTLY THE SAME RECALL FILED RECENTLY AS "2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER RECALLED FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK". I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALER AND HAVE BOTH RECORDS FOR THAT. *TR

DURING THE TOWN DRIVING CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER. ALL THE LIGHT ON DASH BOARD INCLUDING "MIL" LIGHT CAME ON. AS A RESULT I HAD TO GET EMERGENCY REPAIRS COSTING $ 600. I ALSO TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE TO REPROGRAM THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR COST ME OVER $120.00. TWO WEEKS LATER I GET NOTICE FROM INFINITY THAT THIS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WILL COME UP WITH SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. TO THIS DATE I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FOR EITHER REIMBURSEMENT OR A FIX.. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE THE ROAD PROPERLY. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI M35. WHEN THE CONTACT PUSHED THE ON/OFF BUTTON UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, IT WENT IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR KNEE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ONCE IT HIT A PILLAR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 3,196. UPDATED 03-07-08 *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AFTER THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE, BUT NO ONE CAME OUT, SINCE IT WAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER HIS WIFE PARKED THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THE RADIO WAS STILL ON, SO SHE ASSUMED THE IGNITION WAS ON AS WELL. SHE OPENED THE DOOR, AND REACHED FOR THE IGNITION BUTTON WHILE STILL STANDING ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HOPING TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. THE ENGINE STARTED, EVEN THOUGHT THE CONSUMERS FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 WEEKS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.
