Seat Broken problems of the 2007 Infiniti M35

I was driving on freeway and drivers seat bracket broke and threw me forward and almost caused severe accident--- took to dealer who said this happens a lot in these cars and they wanted 1500$ to fix-- I cant afford-- I checked and there have been over a hundred such reports-- some involving injury-- should these seat brackets not be recalled??? only 75k on odometer.

While driving on a parkway in rush hour traffic the drivers seat suddenly dropped, making it difficult to see over the steering wheel. I am 6 ft. 1 in. Tall. It is my opinion someone 5 ft. 8 in. Tall would not be able to see over the dashboard. I took the vehicle to the Infiniti dealer who diagnosed the problem as a broken lower seat track weld which had to be replaced at the vehicle owners cost of $1,519. It appears that there has been approximately 25 previous reports of this type of problem and perhaps many others that have not been reported. It seems that this is a safety issue and should warrant a manufacturers recall.

At approximately 100k miles the driver's seat broke and leans into and binds with the console. There was nothing but normal use and judging from other online complaints this is apparently a common problem. The driver's seat is no longer stable or safe because it can be easily moved around by hand. This should be a safety recall issue. This is a problem whether stationary or in motion.

While driving my 2007 Infiniti M35x, the driver's side seat back broke loose on the door side of the seat. Afterward, it moved around and I considered it unsafe to drive, not knowing how severe the problem would become. Apparently, this is a fairly common problem as I have seen multiple complaints online on both the 2007 and 2006 models of this car. It is on the customer to pay to fix this problem as the car was out of warranty coverage. The net charge to fix my problem was $1,310. 05. This is a real safety issue and could have caused a calamity if the incident had occurred at speed on the highway, a real possibility as I am in sales and use the car for my job.

Since purchase the seat has always moved slightly forward during braking but now it leans towards the center consule and looking on-line it appears that it is common for a weld to break in the seat causing the lean and discomfort.

Driver's seat collapsed and came off tracks. Seat is no longer attached to the floor. Defective welds (as stated by Infiniti certified dealer service center) holding seat assembly determined to be cause. Infiniti diagnosis; seat track broken. Requiring replacement of front adjuster assembly; part # 87450-eh00a. Cost of part $835. 15. Labor to install; $399. 36. This is a Nissan/Infiniti problem reported previously to NHTSA on numerous occasions. Dealer service department stats that weld failure causes seat to collapse. Problem is longstanding, well documented, and known to Infiniti. In spite of this, no remediation, other than repair at owner's expense, has been offered by Infiniti. This weld failure is a serious safety related matter that is not the result of abuse, maintenance neglect, or overstress to seat or seat assembly.

Manufacturer should be encouraged to stand behind their product and their product safety and carry out this repair without cost to owners. This is a very disappointing experience coming from a company that has an outstanding record of reliability.

The drivers seat base broke loose from the metal lever that adjusts the height off the floor and the seat track is resting on the floor . The seat cannot be adjusted level and the car cannot be driven with the broken seat position. Dealer said repair is not covered under recall and will be owners responsibility.

2006 and 2007 Infiniti M35's have well documented problems with the seat track breaking. It actually starts off by the seat sliding back and forth during braking and accelerating. It then gets progressively worse as time goes on till the seat rail itself breaks. At that point the seat moves and leans into the center console. I had a 2006 Infiniti M35 with this problem and I now have a 2007 Infiniti M35 with it. The dealer cost to fix is $1200. 00. Infiniti owners are not having this fixed due to the cost and are driving a vehicle that should be considered a safety hazard. Infiniti will not fix this if its out of warranty. This should be considered a recall. I only hope that this small complaint will be the one that makes something happen. Thank you.
