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.

I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI M35X. I'VE HAD IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT, I HAVE NOTICED SUDDEN JERKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE "ALL OVER THE ROAD" I'VE BROUGHT IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED/LOOKED AT, THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, I MOST CERTAINLY CAN TELL SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG! IT'S DANGEROUS, THE WAY THE VEHICLE PULLS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, IN AND OUT OF LANES. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MANY OF WHICH ARE BLAMING A FAULTY STEERING RACK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW WITH THE INFINITI M35. I HAVE HAD ALIGNMENTS AND BRAND NEW TIRES. NEITHER OF THESE ARE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANYONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AFTER LOTS OF RESEARCH, I THINK IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SOMEONE LOOK INTO A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THE STEERING RACK OF THE INFINITI M35 MODELS 2006-2009, AS THESE ARE THE YEARS WHICH LOOK TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

I BOUGHT A USED M35X AND THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASES HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING TRACKING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR TRACKS TO THE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND PULLS YOU OUT OF THE LANE. TO COUNTER YOU NEED TO DRAMATICALLY PULL THE WHEEL BACK TO COUNTER. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH THE CAR DESIGN OR SET-UP. I HAVE NEW TIRES AND ALIGNMENT AND THIS STILL DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE FULLY.

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.

1.WENT IN FOR BRAKE WORK AND AFTERWARDS, THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING STARTED TO MAKE NOISES. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND WAS INSTRUCTED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD. 2. BAD FRONT WHEEL BEARING, SEEMS TO OCCUR QUITE OFTEN ON INFINITI M SERIES MODELS. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT THE BEARING COULD LOCK UP AND EITHER THROW THE VEHICLE OFF PATH FROM THE DIRECTION BEING TRAVELED AND POTENTIALLY OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE. 3. THE PART WAS REPLACED, BUT I DO BELIEVE THIS IS WAY PREMATURE FOR WHEEL BEARINGS TO BE GOING OUT. BRAKES, I UNDERSTAND, BUT NOT WHEEL BEARINGS.

I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI M35 ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH 49,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY WANDER AND PULL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. DURING CASUAL DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES PULL SO ABRUPTLY THAT IT CAUSES ME TO LEAVE THE LANE. I FEAR THAT ONE DAY THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE PULLING OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PROPER ORDER. AS AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC, I FEEL I AM QUALIFIED TO SAY THAT THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS, AND INFINITI SHOULD OFFER SOME SORT OF RECALL.
