This car has an undrivable issue of tramlining. It is so hard to stear when there are grooves or road imperfections...unlike any other vehicle I have ever driven. An infiniti mechanic told me the problem is a defect in design of the steering rack. I can change the struts/shocks and put new tires and that will not help...I have been told. Please fix this problem so I can safely drive my car. It is so jittery to stear, I will not let my wife drive it. Update: I spent $450 at the infiniti dealer to try and fix the steering. Reset a sensor and alignment. Nothing changed. Constant tramlining. I am told that a redesigned steering column would fix the issue. Again, this is dangerous. The car will not stay straight on a smooth straight road. Very dangerous in cornering.

I have a 2007 infiniti m35x and have noticed a pronounced problem that I recently learned is termed "tramlining". I have noticed the problem mostly at highway speeds on the interstate. When I change lanes, as the car moves to the center of the lane that I am coming from there is a very distinct pull on the steering wheel and feel as though the car is coming out of a rut. As the car completes the maneuver to the adjacent lane it literally swerves abruptly into the rut in the new lane, which again pulls the steering wheel and is very distinct. This problem is an annoyance during dry and clear weather conditions; however, in degraded weather snow, ice, or even wet pavements it is downright scary and in my opinion presents a significant safety hazard. From what I have read this is not unique. I was researching new tires (suspecting this could be the cause, along with a good alignment). In the course of my research I found others with the same complaint. By the way, my tires are not in need of replacement as yet and the alignment was performed approximately 6 months ago. I would hope that with the problems toyota went through recently that someone looks into this problem before someone is injured or worse.
Apparently the term is called tramlining. Car all of sudden wants to change lanes for no reason. I've changed tires, had an alignment, nothing works. Very dangerous.
2007 infiniti m35x, I has a tramlining issue with the steering system.this is a severe safety issue and I'm concerned for the safety of my family. This needs to be corrected before someone is killed.
2007 infiniti m35x, has a tramlining issue with the steering rack system. Today while driving it forced me out of my lane and I nearly struck the adjacent vehicle. This is a severe safety issue and I'm concerned for the safety of my children. This needs to be corrected before someone is killed.
Vehicle steering especially hard to control on highway/interstate. Changed oem tires at 22,800 miles and helped somewhat. Have 20,000 miles on new tires and problem has resurfaced. Vehicle's steering wheel will abruptly jerk left or right depending on road surface and cause auto to leave the lane its traveling in. Had dealership align but does not help. Almost caused auto to leave interstate on 3/1/13 at 70 MPH. Very serious issue; afraid to drive.
Steering wheel tramlnes and wanders. Unsafe lane changing. Before the car comes to a full stop, the steering wheel may come to rest at a 30 degree angle.
Steering locked up, all of a sudden with very limited steering capability, car could only make a 10 deg turn to either side. Sharper turns required backing up and trying again.
When driving on roads that are crowning right the steering pulls right... The same to the left. The bigger issue is that when it hits an uneven road the car seems to pull very sharply right of left, uncontrollably. Luckily enough I have enough experience to regain control and know that this does not happen with other cars I drive.
