While driving the car will not stay on the road, you have to keep both hands on the wheel, and it is still back and fourth. Have had new tires put om and alignment done, did not help the problem. This happens at all speeds but is worse on the highway over 50mph.

In march of 2014, while driving over 200 miles to a conference, I began to notice that my 2006 infiniti m35 was pulling me to the left and to the right. Hitting a bump or a pothole would make it very easy to lose control. Being that I was in a different city, I was not familiar with local automotive technicians to assist me in determining the exact cause. This LED me to purchase a whole new set of tires and a front end alignment. However, months later, the problem still exists. I am afraid that this pulling will have the potential to cause a very bad accident. I also changed out my struts because I also had the bouncing action going on, but to no avail, the problem still exists. There is definitely something seriously wrong. Could you all look into addressing this issue before it has to cost someone their life?

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.

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!!

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.
