Example complaints

“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.”

NHTSA complaint #10250128, filed 2008-11
