Seats Problems of Infiniti M35 - part 2

Seat frame failed, causing seat to fall down and to the left. Dealer and manufacturer have not been notifed because multiple online comments indicate that Infiniti does not recognize seat failure as a safety hazard despite clear pattern of failures in 2006 M35s at relatively low mileage.

Seat moorings unexpectedly gave way during braking.

While hard braking felt the seat slide forward. Then when accelerated the seat slid back. I spoke with the dealer they know of the issue with the model but stated I have to have it repaired at my cost since the car is out of warranty.

When driving and coming to a stop/ braking my driver seat slides to the front and then slides back. My foot slipped off the pedal and good thing nobody was in front of me at the time. This is a real hazard when driving and coming to a stop. The seat feels like its going to slide off track. Please somebody look into this there are too many complaints for this not to be addressed. Infiniti owner.

The contact owns a 2006 Infiniti M35. The contact stated that when applying the brakes, the driver's seat would erroneously move forward. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 109,000.

When the vehicle is moving, acceleration of moving causes the seat to move backwards and forwards. This can be dangerous, perhaps leading to major failure in accident, or with hard braking.

Experienced issue with driver's seat leaning towards center console. Not sure when the seat began leaning; however, after I saw the issue - a few days later the seat began to block the center console from opening. I took the car to the dealer. I was informed that the seat track was broken and the cost to repair was about $1400. I was also told that there was one other car that was recently brought in for the same issue. My seat makes popping noises when I attempt to move it closer to the steering wheel and shifts forward when braking. I also notice from the back of the seat that the plastic that protects the seat hardware is pushing inward toward the carpet on the seat.

While driving on the highway I heard a pop and felt the seat give out and start to fall down. I pulled over and could not get the seat to go back to the correct position. Upon inspection I noticed that the seat frame is broken and could see the part sticking up from where the bottom seat connects to the rear back part of the seat. I almost had me crash into the construction barrels on the side of the road lucky it was a Sunday and no one was working.

When I started my car, the seat did not move, so I tried to adjust the seat with the controls on the side, it did not work for that function. As I was making a left turn the driver seat leaned to the right, as I straighten out the turn, the seat came back to normal position, with a small bump. When I got back home I looked at the left side of the seat, and saw a piece metal [ broken, jagged edge ] sticking up.

Driver seat collapse & dropped (pancaked) suddenly & dramatically dwhile driving. Scary experience.

The contact owns a 2007 Infiniti M35. The contact stated that while attempting to adjust the front driver seat, the lever failed and the seat did not move. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the seat weld fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

I was driving my vehicle and all of a sudden I heard a noise and then the chair leaned to the right while I was driving and then shortly afterwards collapsed and found myself very low. I quickly pulled over to see what happened. It seemed that the assembly underneath the chair had collapsed. To continue to drive, I had to use several pillows to sit on to reach a height for normal driving. When I took it to the shop, the mechanic told me the seat assembly has completely malfunctioned and that I need a new chair with the assembly. He also told me that he heard about this problem in the infinity cars. I believe this is a safety haphazard and I was lucky that I was on a city street not driving fast and was able to quickly pull over and inspect the issue. If I was driving 60 miles an hour on a freeway and the seat suddenly leans to the right and then collapses, that could have potentially been a safety haphazard.

I purchased a 2007 M35x sedan . I discovered today June 8 2013, that I have an issue with my drivers' seat. It leans inward toward the center console, and apparently this is a reoccurring issue with this year and model. It is a safety issue, and I am requesting feedback from NHTSA. Gov on this particular problem. I would like to know if there is a recall for this year and model, or what if anything is being done to resolve the issue.

While driving home from work and in a posted 25 mph speed zone the drivers side seat without warning collapsed falling to the floorboard. Fortunately I was traveling at a low speed due to being in a high pedestrian area. I got my car stopped, exited the car and immediately could see that the seat had collapsed and fallen onto the floorboard. I immediately called the inifiniti dealership that was less than two miles away. The service tech advised he felt the seat had fell of the rails. I was provided with a car, after opening the next morning the service tech called me and advised the seat frame, mounting hardware had broke. I was advised my ex-warranty did not cover the parts and or repairs. The cost would be $1325. 00 to fix, I followed up with several other car dealerships including 2 out of town Infiniti dealerships. I was advised by well qualified service gm's that a seven year old car of any type should never have this type issue and especially a Infiniti make type car. One Infiniti manager at a out of town location did advise after checking service data that my make and model has a history of these type issues. He and other service techs stated they did not know how Infiniti was avoiding a NHTSA recall, especially since it was a safety issue with the drivers side seat and could and should have caused numerous wrecks. My dealership was aware of the issue, even after talking to the service gm they only discounted $300. 00 leaving my out of pocket expense paid $1,025. 00 I work with several judges and attorney's, some who are very knowledgeable in the field of vehicle safety, recalls and car maker obligations. I am proceeding with official complaints to the Infiniti corp, bbb, NHTSA. I have learned Infiniti could and should have did the repairs. This was my first and last Infiniti make vehicle, very poor product support. My weight is 185 so this is absolutely no issue.

After parking my car (2006 Infiniti M35x) I went to unbuckle my seat belt and to open the door, my seat reclined without pressing it to and the the rear of my driver seat fell back to the floor board. I don't why it fell for I only weight 172 lbs exactly. So I'm not the heaviest. I would of been scared if it fell while I was driving because I don't know how I would of reacted to the failure of my seat can clearly lead to an accident from that. An I research and see that it just happens and no reason except of yea seating on your seat over and over, but I don't think that's enough to do what it did. Then the dealership wanna over charge you up to $1500 to fix something that should of never happen. I'm not the only person that think that. It should be an recall on this because a lot people don't look into recalls, I'm now posting after talking to someone and saying it happen to their friend and say that it online other people had the same problem, so it can be way more complaints about seat failures that may lead to injuries and maybe deaths because luckily my seat fell when I park. With all these different safety features this car "have" get subtracted by the seat collapsing out of no where.

Drivers side seat leans to right. Unable to raise the seat. Seat bottom is resting on the track. Also, seat memory position intermittently fails to return to setting.

Front driver seat tilts towards center console. The seat rubs against the console when the seat is adjusted upon entry and remains tilted at an angle causing back pain on extended drives. My mechanic and an Infiniti dealer have both said I need to replace the seat assembly for a total cost of $1200. The dealer service representative acknowledges that this problem has been seen before with these cars, but Infiniti was not doing anything for their customers regarding about this common problem. In my nearly 40 years of driving, the vast majority of it on much cheaper and less luxurious cars, I have never had a seat assembly bend or break. This is a defect in this car. This problem and Infiniti's lack of support will deleteriously affect my decision to purchase an Infiniti in the future.

The issue is wihin my 2006 Infiniti M35x driver's side seat. I was in the process of making a right turn after sitting at a traffic light. When I did, the driver's side seat went left and back and I was thrown against the driver's door. There has been movement in my driver's seat when braking. It would move a couple of inches forward instead of staying in place. The dealership has estimated that it is going to cost $900 to replace the slide lift assembly.

I was driving my 2006 Infiniti M35 on the hiway at about 55-60 miles an hour when all of a sudden the drivers seat fell back off of its frame almost cuasing me to lose control of the car which could have been a serious accident. I took the car to the dealer and they explained to me that the seats are welded to the frame not bolted and the weld broke lose. They said because my car was out of warranty that the factory would not cover the cost and therefore it would cost me 1100. 00 dollars to repare it. I contacted there consumer affairs division to ask them for assistance and they refuse to offer any help, showing no concern for the fact that I could have been kill due to a design failure on that seat.
