What owners say
My vehicle constantly pulls left and right at high speeds with the slightest road imperfection. There is something wrong with the design of the vehicle. I have the vehicle aligned, tires replaced with a different brand and aired up to the proper pressure. It is not a problem with the tires, but with the vehicle itself. It is very dangerous and infinit won't do anything to help.
Vehicle will lunge from left to right at highway speeds and under braking. Just like many other complaints new tires, balancing, alignments will fix the problem for a short amount of time before erratic steering returns. It requires constant correction to keep the vehicle in your lane. Also under heavy braking the car will pull left or right. New brake pads have been installed on all four corners which only gives temporary relief.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 infiniti m35. The contact stated that the vehicle would abnormally pull to the left or the right, depending on the leveling of the road. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and a front end alignment was performed however, did not correct the failure. The dealer advised the contact that they did not locate any problems with the front end of the vehicle or the steering column. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 75,600 and the current mileage was 76,400.
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.
My 06 infiniti m35x likes to wander over uneven road surfaces which requires constant corrections to keep the car on its true path. Purchased vehicle used with new tires, passed inspection but seems there is a problem with the steering system in the vehicle.
**steering issue.****when coming to stops doing local driving, vehicle front end steers to either side of road, but more so to the right. It often feels as thou front steering system is loose. When driving at highway speeds it is even worst, car wants to pull to left or right aggressively and requires constant correction of direction of steering as im driving. Living in nyc where road quality isn't exactly peachy, this is dangerous issue. I've changed tires and got an alignment, however the issue still remains. Reported it to the dealership, but was not given any resolution to the issue. The new tires and alignment did not correct the issue. There needs to be a proper investigation into this matter and a recall done. Especially if it turns out that so many people are reporting the issue. Such a large number of customers cant be doing something wrong and have the same issue.
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.
When driving on freeway the car pulls to right or left hard for no reason, this is not a out of alignment issue, car just had a 4 wheel alignment. This is very dangerous at high speeds. I think it is a steering rack issue and needs to be addressed with nissan before someone gets killed by loosing control of car.
Vehicle suddenly pulls left and right while driving...not braking.
