“My 1997 Infiniti QX4 started to have a side to side wobble. It got worse over time. Now I can barely drive on the freeway. At speeds of about 50-65 it wobbles to the point that it is very dangerous. I bought an Infiniti for the safety and I do not feel safe in it anymore. I have replaced shocks, tires, have done tire balancing, wheel alignment. None have done anything to remotely fix the problem. I can not afford to fix this problem. A recall is needed for the pathfinder and QX4.”
