My wife and i purchased a 2008 infiniti m35x which is still under a warranty from infiniti and was inspected prior to us taking ownership. i drove the car and after two days i noticed the car pulling hard when changing lanes on the highway. it did it multiple times during a 30 minute trip. i again drove the car today and noticed the issue again. i have owned over ten cars in my life and none have had this steering / lane shifting issue like this. i have also had cars with tires with extreme wear and cars in desperate need of an alignment and still i never experiences pulling in the steering wheel like this. my wife also had a passenger drove the vehicle and both noticed it on a separate occasion. i have two children and am now concerned for their safety. please look into this matter along with any other complaints associated with steering issues with infiniti model m35, m35x, m45 and m45x from 2006 to 2010. it is my understanding that many complaints have been submitted with little to no effort to informed concerned drivers/owners of any progress or lack there of for possible recall for or around this extremely dangerous steering issue. *tr

I purchased my vehicle in october 2009 certified pre-owned from infiniti southwest in houston, tx with 13k on it already. this past year i cant take it anymore. the problem is getting worse and worse since the very beginning when i purchased the vehicle. any groove on the road or minor indentation causes my steering wheel to lose control. even when i switch lanes, just driving over the little bump reflector cause me tramling. it literally looks like there is a drunk driver on the road when people see me driving. it occurs any time i drive it. i've gotten new tires (which they always try to blame first), almost 3 alignments, and warranty checks and they say they cant find the problem and blame it on the road. why are there people on every online infiniti m forum complaining to each other about their vehicle and this problem. there is something wrong (defective steering rack) and something needs to get done!! *tr

My wife and i purchased a 2008 infinity m35x less than a year ago. on our first freeway drive here in the seattle, wa metro area we noticed that the car would violently jerk in a very unsafe way to the left or right. this violent jerk is so severe that if you are not paying complete attention when entering a section of truck rutting the care will leave the lane and snap into the next lane. within weeks of purchasing the vehicle i took it back to the infinity of kirkland dealership where we had purchased it. they understood the problem and mentioned that other owners had brought this model in for the same problem. the dealership mentioned that when they brought it to the attention of the manufacturer that they stated it was a regional road condition issue and they would not be responsible for a repair or alteration. i told the dealership that a rental vw rabbit did not show similar signs of a jerking motion when traveling the same roads. the dealership understood and agreed that other models in the infinity line don't have this issue. the dealership went on to say that some of the other owners had filled complaints with the ftc and did in fact finally get a some resolution from the manufacturer. we have recently filed a complaint with the ftc. in just those cases where complaints were filed, the manufacturer replaced the brand of tires that were installed in the vehicle and for the most part repaired the issue. this "repair" was only done when the manufacturer was forced to do so. this seems not only unfair to all the other owners but irresponsible of the manufacturer. my wife and i believe this to be extremely unsafe and are surprised that this condition has not already hit the news cause accidents and potential deaths. please help us remedy this situation. *tr

My car, a 2008 infiniti m35x, exhibited extreme tramlining (poor road tracking) on initial drive. the car would wander all over a lane when riding on a resurfaced tar line or similar. it was more severe at higher speeds. complaint to the dealer resulted in an immediate tire replacement, from goodyear eagle rs-a to michelin primacy mxv4 which resulted in somewhat better road response, but still quite severe and noticeable even at low speeds. this is not acceptable performance from any car, let alone one that costs more than $50,000. checking various forums, i see that many people have complained about this very problem. many claim that changing out the steering rack solves the problem. it's clearly dangerous as it stands and nissan/infiniti should issue a recall to correct it. *tr

2008 m35 base front end alignment. when driving on uneven roads the front end of the car jumps, rattles and slips. it happens constantly and consistently on uneven or freeways with the grooves (california) at 55 plus miles per hour. the steering is so harsh that the car has to slow down or move to more even road. the road does not have to be that uneven for the problem to occur. new tires and front end alignment only partially fix the problem. but the issue is still evident. on rainy days the problem is worse. *tr
