On march 9th, 2015 my 2006 infiniti m35 stalled while I was driving it and wouldn't start again. I checked the fuses and battery and couldn't find any issues so I had it towed to the local infiniti dealer. Initially the dealer told me that the ECM (brain) needed to be replaced and, after a fair amount of pressure from me to stand behind their product, the nissan factory agreed to cover the ECM replacement (~$2200). On april 9th, 2015 they informed me my car was "fixed and ready" however when driving home it stalled on the freeway (while going ~70mph with my kids in the car with me) and again, it wouldn't start. I had it towed back to the dealer and paid for an advanced diagnostic ($420) at which time they discovered "melted and shorting" wires between the power distribution unit (pdu) and the fuse box... On april 22nd, 2015 they replaced these wires (they never actually diagnosed the cause of the melted shorting wires) and they again told me my car was "fixed and ready"... Yet again, while driving home the car stalled on the freeway and wouldn't start. I had it towed back to the dealer again and they called in an advanced factory technician who determined that the main wiring harness and another wiring harness needed to be replaced and they're quoting me an outrageous amount for the repair ($8400). The car currently shows a ~$10.5k value on kelley blue book...

These defective parks keeps making the idle jump and sometimes stall. I keep replacing them to see if they are bad but will not clear the check engine light.
I purchased the 2006 infiniti m35 from approval one, laplace, la on 3/16/2012 . I was not shown a carfax report. It was financed by asi federal credit union for $16,000. The car would stop in the middle of traffic. I received a recall notice on the car sensor and brought the car in per letter. I was then told that the camshaft sensor was the problem and not related to the recall. The transmission began to have problems shifting gears and I brought the car into ray brant infiniti and was told a part on the transmission was the problem. That would cost me $2,300.00. I decided to trade in the car on 8/2/2014 and was given a carfax report showing structural damage, airbag deployed, and the car had been in an accident. I was told by several dealers that no one would take the car relating to the damage. I reported to asi federal credit union. As a result, I have a car not fitted to be on the highway transporting my family in and am responsible for paying $16,000.00 this car should not be on the highway.

When driving and coming to a stop at (30-35 MPH) you would hear a loud "clunk", and the engine would stop. You have no control of the steering and no brakes. We experienced this infinity defect 7-8 times over a 90 day period. First incident 9-14-13. Note- received recall letter (13v‑430) from infinity 11-04-13. Made service apt with nalley infinity, marietta, ga. To perform work related to recall letter. I was reimbursed for repairs made on 9-14-13. However, on 12-26-13 while driving in jacksonville, fla. The same problem occurred, and repeated itself 3-4 times that evening before I could reach the infinity of orange pk. Fla. On 12-27-13. Infinity of orange pk. Made the repairs... The cost to me for this repair was $561. This itemized bill was sent to infinity consumer affairs in franklin, tn, and they refused reimbursement. Stating that they could only reimburse for one occurrence. This inifinity incident was very dangerous, freighting and scary when it happens. We are fortunate... There was no accident, but it has destroyed our confidence in the infinity auto, infinity service and all infinity products.

While driving on a freeway at low rate of speed (rush hour) I have experienced engine stall condition. All warning lights went on,including brake indicator. I was able to shift gear into park position and shut the vehicle down. After a couple minutes, I restarted the engine and drived home. That was one scary moment.
I was driving my 2006 infiniti m35x home sunday night and it began to stall on me while driving. The car wouldn't accelerate and the brakes locked on me. I was on the freeway going about 70mph when this happened. The steering wheel wouldn't turn anymore and I began to panic as another speedy vehicle would potentially rear end me and maybe even kill me. I put my emergency lights on and called for help. My fuel gauge read about a half tank full of gasoline. I had a friend bring me gas to see if that was why this car wouldn't start anymore and unfortunately it was the problem. The fuel gauge was not working properly and I could of got myself killed in a big accident that way. Idk what to do! The warranty is not valid anymore and I do not have money to fix this issue. Please help!
Took car to infiniti of santa monica, ca for routine 30,000 mile service. They returned car to me with a ticking/ knocking noise coming from engine. They told me it was from the fuel injector cleaner they added to my car. Took car back to them 3 times in one day and finally refused to leave until they repaired it. They say I need a new engine due to a manufacture defect. I never heard the knock in 30,000 miles, I never heard the knock until I drove out of infiniti of santa monica, ca. Car only has 30,000 miles on it.
