I purchased an infinity m35 pulls to the right and the dealership is not able to fix it. I am concerned about my safety the dealership fixed the alignment, rotated the tires, they tell me it's fixed, but after each service for this problem, the problem is unchanged. There needs to be a recall to fix this problem as apparently this is a known problem at infinity and many people have complained on google. Please take action as I am concerned for my family's safety.
2006 Infiniti M35 steering complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 53 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I own a 2006 infiniti m35x and this car suffers terribly from erratic handling, often referred to as tramlining. This car is almost uncontrollable on rutted or crowned roads at any speed and requires constant corrective steering to avoid having this car 'dart' into the oncoming traffic or off the highway completely. My wife will not drive this car because of this defect. This problem has been reported numerous times for this model year and later, yet no recall or advisory has been posted. This design flaw will kill, and probably has killed, someone if it is not corrected. Dealers frequently attribute this to tire type/brand, tire wear, or alignment but the comments of others posting make it clear that these are not solutions. The problem persists after these steps are taken. The steering rack design is flawed and only after this is replaced does this problem go away.
Normal driving on highway the car suddenly pulled to the left moving in to the oncoming traffic lane then pulled side to side. Aggressive counter steering and slowing down was required to get the car to straighten out. Dry road 65 MPH this is apparently a recurring problem with m35's. Fortunately the oncoming lane was clear or there would have been a head on. This is a serious defect which should be forced to be corrected by infiniti. Had a previous experience like this and replaced the tires and got an alignment. This did not help it is a steering system problem. This is a serious recurring steering control problem that is well documented by owners on blogs and owner sites like http://forums.nicoclub.com please note that there are a relatively few number of m35x models on the road so high accident rates are not going to be apparent. This should be a recalled item now.
Tramlining on infiniti m35x.
My 2006 infiniti m35 will not steer straight while driving. Depending on the road it will at time almost force me into another lane. This is a know issue on all m35 cars, and a very dangerous one at that.
Bought car in oct/2008. After first month noticed erratic steering problems. Searched online and found several others who had same problem. Car pulls to right or left very erratically even on smooth flat roads. Took car to only infiniti dealership 3 times. They drove car and suggested I buy new tires before they would look at any steering issues. The tires that were on the car only had 3000 miles on them. Replaced tires anyway with second set. Car still had same problems. Took car back to dealership, tech drove 6 miles and said nothing was wrong with the car. Called infiniti consumer affairs to notify of the problem and poor service from infiniti dealership. Consumer affairs spoke with dealership and both refused to fix the car. This car is under factory warranty with an extended warranty and was told that this steering is normal for the car and they were not going to fix it. I even gave them contact info for other dealers that have replaced parts on other cars for the same problem. This car is unsafe. Dealer did not take time put on the rack to inspect or properly test drive. Terrible dealership with terrible service!!
Car makes loud noises on slow right turns. Sounds as if the metal is grinding under the body of the car.
This car will follow every dip or rut in the road and will pull the wheel hard to right and left main it dangerous to drive if both hands are tightly gripping the wheel. New tires help the problem for a while but then it started back up after the tires get worn in again.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 infiniti m35. While driving approximately 55 MPH on uneven road surfaces, the vehicle unexpectedly pulled to the left without assistance. The vehicle turned in the opposite direction of the intended steering. The vehicle has not been diagnosed for the malfunction. The contact is in the process of taking the vehicle to the dealer for repair. The failure and current mileages were 28,000.
2006 infiniti mx35 steering problems. Consumer states that other owners have the same steering problems. *nj the dealer stated that all aspects of the steering system tested normally.
Vehicle experiences severe "tramlining" or pulling of the steering wheel to the left or right under braking or on uneven road surfaces. I have almost ended up in the next lane and must apply active pressure to keep the steering centered.
The car steering is unstable and can't go straight on the uneven pavement. It goes to right or left by itself. The alignment doesn't fix the problem. The new set of tire doesn't fix the problem. Totally, the driving feeling is unsafe.
Steering difficult to control. Dealer installed new steering rack.. Seems to have cured problem.
