“Vehicle started shifting to right of the road. Paid for wheel alignment. Purchased set of new tires at around 115000 miles. Now at 130,000 miles dealer tells me that my rack and pinion is leaking and could result in sudden inoperable vehicle. The part can only be purchased from Infiniti and approximate cost is around $1450.00 plus $500-$700 to install!!”
NHTSA complaint #10567994, filed 2014-03, 115,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11021649, filed 2017-09, 143,000 miles“My 2006 Infiniti m35x drives real jerky darting to the left and right constantly whenever the road is the least bit uneven. I really like my car but the worse the darting gets I am becoming more concerned for my passengers safety as well as my own. After reading some of these reviews I don't think a newer version would be a good idea.”
NHTSA complaint #10593792, filed 2014-05, 89,000 miles“My vehicle constantly pulls left and right at high speeds with the slightest road imperfection. There is something wrong with the design of the vehicle. I have the vehicle aligned, tires replaced with a different brand and aired up to the proper pressure. It is not a problem with the tires, but with the vehicle itself. It is very dangerous and infinit won't do anything to help.”
NHTSA complaint #10550479, filed 2013-11, 118,500 miles“I bought a used m35x and the car since I purchases has a problem with the steering tracking when on the highway. The car tracks to the bumps in the road and pulls you out of the lane. To counter you need to dramatically pull the wheel back to counter. Something isn't right with the car design or set-up. I have new tires and alignment and this still didn't correct the issue fully.”
