STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS THAT ARE CROWNING RIGHT THE STEERING PULLS RIGHT... THE SAME TO THE LEFT. THE BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT WHEN IT HITS AN UNEVEN ROAD THE CAR SEEMS TO PULL VERY SHARPLY RIGHT OF LEFT, UNCONTROLLABLY. LUCKILY ENOUGH I HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND KNOW THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH OTHER CARS I DRIVE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
1.WENT IN FOR BRAKE WORK AND AFTERWARDS, THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING STARTED TO MAKE NOISES. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND WAS INSTRUCTED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD. 2. BAD FRONT WHEEL BEARING, SEEMS TO OCCUR QUITE OFTEN ON INFINITI M SERIES MODELS. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT THE BEARING COULD LOCK UP AND EITHER THROW THE VEHICLE OFF PATH FROM THE DIRECTION BEING TRAVELED AND POTENTIALLY OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE. 3. THE PART WAS REPLACED, BUT I DO BELIEVE THIS IS WAY PREMATURE FOR WHEEL BEARINGS TO BE GOING OUT. BRAKES, I UNDERSTAND, BUT NOT WHEEL BEARINGS. *TR

TIRES
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.

STEERING
2007 INFINITI M35X - HAS A MAJOR STEERING PROBLEM! WENT TO A NISSAN DEALER HAD 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES, AND PROBLEM STILL EXIST. STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SLAMS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE STEERING FOR YOU. THIS HAPPENS AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, AND ON THE SMALLEST DIP IN THE ROAD. VERY DIFFERENT FROM TRAMLINING. ANY SLIGHT DIP IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SLAM LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE A FORD ESCORT THAT HANDLES THE ROAD BETTER THAN THIS INFINITI, AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A LUXURY VEHICLE. PLEASE ACT ON THESE COMPLAINTS. MOST AMERICAN'S ARE NOT RICH TO JUST SWITCH VEHICLES. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE CAR PULLS TO RIGHT OR LEFT HARD FOR NO REASON, THIS IS NOT A OUT OF ALIGNMENT ISSUE, CAR JUST HAD A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. I THINK IT IS A STEERING RACK ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH NISSAN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BY LOOSING CONTROL OF CAR.

WHEELS, STEERING

SEATS
THE ISSUE IS WITHIN MY 2006 INFINITI M35X DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A RIGHT TURN AFTER SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I DID, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WENT LEFT AND BACK AND I WAS THROWN AGAINST THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THERE HAS BEEN MOVEMENT IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN BRAKING. IT WOULD MOVE A COUPLE OF INCHES FORWARD INSTEAD OF STAYING IN PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ESTIMATED THAT IT IS GOING TO COST $900 TO REPLACE THE SLIDE LIFT ASSEMBLY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI M35 ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH 109,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY WANDER AND PULL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. DURING CASUAL DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES PULL SO ABRUPTLY THAT IT CAUSES ME TO LEAVE THE LANE. I FEAR THAT ONE DAY THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE PULLING OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PROPER ORDER.THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR 50,000 MILES AGO. *TR
