2008 INFINITI M35 Problems

MY 2008 INFINITI M35X WHILE I AM DRIVING ON HIGH WAY WILL UNEXPECTEDLY WONDER LEFT OR RIGHT ESPECIALLY IF I AM CHANGING LINES WHEEL I HAVE TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL CAR OTHERWISE I COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT . IF I AM DRIVING IN CITY, SOMETIMES IT GOES STRAIGHT THEN SUDDENLY IT WILL VEER RIGHT OR LEFT . THIS IS HAPPENING SINCE I GOT CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC AND VERIFIED THE ALIGNMENT WAS CORRECT. I TRY NEW TIRES, MECHANIC REPLACED INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD NOTHING CORRECTS THE ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND MANY MANY DISCUSSIONS ON THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS A FAULTY RACK AND PINION BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNLESS YOU STILL HAVE WARRANTY LEFT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT MANY TIMES.

MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE STEERING RACK IS LEAKING. THE CAR HAS 88K AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER. THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD FAIL THIS EARLY.

The contact owned a 2008 Infiniti M35. The contact stated that while driving approximately 27 MPH, another vehicle making a left turn from the opposite direction failed to yield and crashed into the front driver's side of the vehicle by the front tire location. The contact stated that the under-hood components were pushed to the right side of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact did not recall whether warning lights were illuminated. The contact noticed that there was a significant amount of steam coming from under the hood, and the contact turned off the engine. A police report was filed. The contact was transported to the Emergency Room by the daughter's boyfriend. The contact sustained severe, persistent pain from the left hip through the buttock and the knee. The left big toe and three little toes were weak and numb. The contact underwent nerve testing and X-rays and was diagnosed with nerve damage. The contact sustained a swollen left hand, traumatic pain on the back shoulder, left wrist, and hand nerve damage, significant hip pain, three bulges on the disc, large bruises on the kneecap, inner thigh, and chin. The contact sustained a bruised and swollen left hand, unstable and wobbly left leg, and midback. The contact sustained other severe injuries that aggravated the contact's underlying medical condition. The vehicle was towed and totaled by the other vehicle insurance company. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

TRAVELING AN TIRE SENSOR CAME ON INDICATING LOW AIR PRESSURE. PULL TO THE EMERGENCY LANE ON BRIDGE ON I-55 IN LOUISIANA TO FIND NOTHING WRONG. WHILE ON THE SHOULDER ANOTHER CAR PASSED WITH ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGING MY CAR. I SEE A RECALL FOR THE SENSOR YET THE STATE OF LOUISIANA IS NOT IDENTIFIED FOR THE RECALL.

I ALSO SEE MANY COMMENTS OF THE HEADLIGHTS NOT BE SET CORRECTLY AND I STRUGGLE WITH THE LOW BEAM VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

2008 M35 BASE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROADS THE FRONT END OF THE CAR JUMPS, RATTLES AND SLIPS. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY ON UNEVEN OR FREEWAYS WITH THE GROOVES (CALIFORNIA) AT 55 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING IS SO HARSH THAT THE CAR HAS TO SLOW DOWN OR MOVE TO MORE EVEN ROAD. THE ROAD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT UNEVEN FOR THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR. NEW TIRES AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT ONLY PARTIALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL EVIDENT. ON RAINY DAYS THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2008 INFINITI M35X WHICH IS STILL UNDER A WARRANTY FROM INFINITI AND WAS INSPECTED PRIOR TO US TAKING OWNERSHIP. I DROVE THE CAR AND AFTER TWO DAYS I NOTICED THE CAR PULLING HARD WHEN CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DID IT MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A 30 MINUTE TRIP. I AGAIN DROVE THE CAR TODAY AND NOTICED THE ISSUE AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED OVER TEN CARS IN MY LIFE AND NONE HAVE HAD THIS STEERING / LANE SHIFTING ISSUE LIKE THIS. I HAVE ALSO HAD CARS WITH TIRES WITH EXTREME WEAR AND CARS IN DESPERATE NEED OF AN ALIGNMENT AND STILL I NEVER EXPERIENCES PULLING IN THE STEERING WHEEL LIKE THIS. MY WIFE ALSO HAD A PASSENGER DROVE THE VEHICLE AND BOTH NOTICED IT ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND AM NOW CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER ALONG WITH ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH STEERING ISSUES WITH INFINITI MODEL M35, M35X, M45 AND M45X FROM 2006 TO 2010. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED WITH LITTLE TO NO EFFORT TO INFORMED CONCERNED DRIVERS/OWNERS OF ANY PROGRESS OR LACK THERE OF FOR POSSIBLE RECALL FOR OR AROUND THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STEERING ISSUE. *TR

DURING THE DAY (IN BRIGHT SUNSHINE), I CAN HARDLY SEE THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE REFLECTION FROM THE DASHBOARD....TRUST ME, IT'S THAT BAD.

AND, THAT'S ONLY THE ONES WHO HAVE COMPLAINED. I CAN IMAGINE THAT THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME COMPLAIN PLEASE HELP.

MAKING RIGHT TURN TO PARK THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE THROUGHOUT THE TURNING PROCESS. AS THE TURN WAS COMPLETED, VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD QUICKLY AND COLLIDED WITH A TREE. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IT HAPPENED THIRD TIME. FIRST TWO TIMES, THE CAR ACCELERATED WHEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, BUT I COULD CONTROL IT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR CHECK UP AND INSPECTION. AFTER CHECKING THE CAR, DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEM AND DID NOT TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION EXCEPT FOR ADJUSTING THE IDLE TIME.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MAY 2008. *TR

DEFECT IN THE SEAT HEATERS - INFINITI REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM, STATES IT'S NORMAL, ALTHOUGH WHEN THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, THE NOISE WASN'T PRESENT. IN SITTING IN OTHER CARS, SAME MODEL, SAME YEAR, THIS NOISE ISN'T PRESENT. *TR

DASHBOARD IS SHINY, STICKY & GUMMY IN A NUMBER OF AREAS. THE VEHICLE IS ONE OWNER (OWNED BY A RETIRED PERSON), HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT & DOES NOT SIT OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED & THE DASH HAS NEVER HAD ANY SUBSTANCES (I.E., PROTECTANTS) APPLIED. THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTED THE DASH & STATED THAT THE MATERIAL WAS BREAKING DOWN & THE DASH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. A CASE WAS INITIATED WITH INFINITI USA THAT RESULTED IN THE MANUFACTURER DECLINING TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE VEHICLE NO LONGER BEING WITHIN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD. THE REPAIR HAS NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED DUE TO THE HIGH COST INVOLVED. *TR

THE PASSENGER DASHBOARD ON MY INFINITI IS CRACKING AND INFINITI WILL NOT WARRANTY PART. THE CRACK IS OCCURRING OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF MY FAMILY. RESOLUTION HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AND I FEEL THAT INFINITI HAS SOLD ME AN INFERIOR PRODUCE EVEN IF OUT OF WARRANTY. THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE IS 2008, AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE THESE KINDS OF DETERIORATION OF MATERIALS. THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

2008 INFINITI M35 SPORT HAS A SEVERE TRAMLINING PROBLEM. DRIVING THE CAR ABOVE 60 MPH THE STEERING BECOMES VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE CAR LIKES TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT AND RARELY WANTS TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SOMETIMES THE CAR ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE OTHER LANE. CAR WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT FOR MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE IS AT SLOWER SPEEDS (I.E. COMING TO A STOP) VEHICLES PULLS VERY HARD AS THOUGH IT HAS HIT A LARGE POTHOLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR
