When driving on roads that are crowning right the steering pulls right. . . The same to the left. The bigger issue is that when it hits an uneven road the car seems to pull very sharply right of left, uncontrollably. Luckily enough I have enough experience to regain control and know that this does not happen with other cars I drive.

47 Steering problem of the 2007 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 12/18/2010

2007 Infiniti M35x - has a major steering problem! went to a Nissan dealer had 4 wheel alignment, balanced and rotated tires, and problem still exist. Steering wheel violently slams from left to right under normal operating conditions. It's like someone else is trying to take over the steering for you. This happens at very low speeds, and on the smallest dip in the road. Very different from tramlining. Any slight dip in the road causes the steering wheel to slam left and right. I have a Ford escort that handles the road better than this Infiniti, and this is unacceptable for a luxury vehicle. Please act on these complaints. Most american's are not rich to just switch vehicles.

2006 Infiniti M35x is very difficult to keep in lane at highway speeds. Car wants to pull left or right and requires heavy steering effort to correct and maintain position in lane.

58 Steering problem of the 2009 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 02/15/2010

2009 Infiniti M35x will make a "hard turn" on slightly uneven roads and cause the vehicle to go quickly to the left or right. . Severe hazard and from what I reviewed there are several complaints already about the issue. This is an accident waiting to happen that will ultimately be blamed on the government for having uneven roads because the M35x will go with the road. It is also somewhat difficult to recover to a normal steering after your car is being taken over by the road. . . This happens extremely fast and is an accident waiting to happen with serious injuries. I'm a local police officer and seriously suggest that this issue be addressed before it becomes bigger than what it is.

61 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 01/10/2010

2006 Infiniti M35 sport. Tramlining issue. Car pulls to left when driving. I get wheel alignments performed, and seems to help for about 1000 miles, then the car does the tramlining issue again.

62 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

Vehicle tracks sporadically to both left and right sides when driving on highway. Feels like driving on train tracks and constantly jumping track. Creates a very dangerous situation because car pulls fiercely in either direction at will.

63 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

2006 Infiniti M35 x loss of control of steering. Car would pull both left and right while driving at highway speeds. Had to pull car off the highway and steering issues persisted. Learned of other reports on Infiniti M35x steering by researching on internet. Referred to issue as tramlining. This problem should be addressed by Infiniti as loss of steering could result in death or other serious injury.

64 Steering problem of the 2008 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 10/21/2009

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!!.

65 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 09/01/2009

I purchased an infinity M35 pulls to the right and the dealership is not able to fix it. I am concerned about my safety the dealership fixed the alignment, rotated the tires, they tell me it's fixed, but after each service for this problem, the problem is unchanged. There needs to be a recall to fix this problem as apparently this is a known problem at infinity and many people have complained on google. Please take action as I am concerned for my family's safety.

66 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 08/18/2009

I own a 2006 Infiniti M35x and this car suffers terribly from erratic handling, often referred to as tramlining. This car is almost uncontrollable on rutted or crowned roads at any speed and requires constant corrective steering to avoid having this car 'dart' into the oncoming traffic or off the highway completely. My wife will not drive this car because of this defect. This problem has been reported numerous times for this model year and later, yet no recall or advisory has been posted. This design flaw will kill, and probably has killed, someone if it is not corrected. Dealers frequently attribute this to tire type/brand, tire wear, or alignment but the comments of others posting make it clear that these are not solutions. The problem persists after these steps are taken. The steering rack design is flawed and only after this is replaced does this problem go away.

67 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 07/15/2009

Normal driving on highway the car suddenly pulled to the left moving in to the oncoming traffic lane then pulled side to side. Aggressive counter steering and slowing down was required to get the car to straighten out. Dry road 65 mph this is apparently a recurring problem with M35's. Fortunately the oncoming lane was clear or there would have been a head on. This is a serious defect which should be forced to be corrected by Infiniti. Had a previous experience like this and replaced the tires and got an alignment. This did not help it is a steering system problem. . Read more...

68 Steering problem of the 2007 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 06/10/2009

Steering and front suspension wanders suddenly and almost uncontrollably when vehicle transitions from a smooth to semi-rough road surface at 50-65 miles per hour.

69 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 05/05/2009

My 2006 Infiniti M35 will not steer straight while driving. Depending on the road it will at time almost force me into another lane. This is a know issue on all M35 cars, and a very dangerous one at that.

70 Steering problem of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Failure Date: 03/20/2009

Car drives fine until there is any kind of small bumps, indentations, potholes, etc on the road. Once it hits an area that is not 100% flat the steering goes crazy. Even when changing lanes and you drive over one of the reflectors on the road to mark traffic lanes the car will move severely one direction and force you to make a hard and fast correction to avoid hitting something or someone. I have almost hit curbs, center dividers, other cars, and concrete construction walls on multiple occasions. While this problem happens in a significant way at higher speeds, it happens even more so at lower speeds.
