When stationary at a parking spot, I got into my car, and the car seat made a cracking noise as it went straight to the ground. While driving I applied pressure to the breaks and my car seat came off the bracket causing me to be distracted about what happened. This is very dangerous and can be the result of an accident. I have researched online and there are plenty of other people experiencing the same issue.

Both front seats would be sliding from seat tracks as if they were loose when the car would be getting to a stop. The driver's seat started leaning to the center of vehicle after a while, rubbing the center console. Eventually the driver seat came out of the track because the track broke when adjusting the seat.

I currently own a 2006 infiniti m45. I have a safety issue which involves a broken driver side seat lift bracket. I wasn't doing anything abnormal, but when I sat down in my vehicle I heard a "pop" and notice the seat now had a slight lean towards the center console. This is a huge concern, and after doing extensive research online, I have found that it is a manufacture defect rather than normal part wear. I'm real frustrated that I have spent this much money on a luxury vehicle (my third infiniti), and a safety concern like this (which should be a recall) isn't addressed by infiniti, but rather the cost be covered out of the customers pocket. I spoke with my local dealer about it, and was given a substantial estimate to examine it, and 6-7 x's larger amount to repair it. This is truly frustrating and the fact that I have been told that it is "my problem" is really steering me away from purchasing another infiniti vehicle .

While driving at normal highway speed, my drivers seat suddenly collapsed onto the floor on the left side of the seat. After regaining control of the car, I pulled over to find that the seat bracket had broken. The seat is completely detached from the frame and now moves freely up and down. I took the car to the dealership and without even looking at it, they said that I would need a new drivers seat at a cost of $2000.00. The technician then stated that this was a common problem on 2006-07 infinities. I started researching this online and found that there are thousands of complaints and serious safety issues involving broken seat brackets in these vehicles. Infinity accepts no responsibility for this problem and refuses to even attempt to correct the problem.

The driver's side seat track assembly broke, causing the seat to lean towards the center console. The break occurred at the welded steel. I researched this problem on different forums, and there are numerous accounts of the same issue. I feel that this flaw is unsafe and costly to the consumers. This defect should be recalled at the manufacturers expense.
