Nine problems related to seats have been reported for the 2006 Infiniti M45. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When stationary at a parking spot, I got into my car, and the car seat made a cracking noise as it went straight to the ground. While driving I applied pressure to the breaks and my car seat came off the bracket causing me to be distracted about what happened. This is very dangerous and can be the result of an accident. I have researched online and there are plenty of other people experiencing the same issue.
Faulty fuel system component with prior dealer warranty, check engine light noted it is bad fuel evaporator. In motion indicator light went on. Driver seat loose, piece in slower structure needed to be welded because seat had play and went back and forth. In motion.
Both front seats would be sliding from seat tracks as if they were loose when the car would be getting to a stop. The driver's seat started leaning to the center of vehicle after a while, rubbing the center console. Eventually the driver seat came out of the track because the track broke when adjusting the seat.
I currently own a 2006 Infiniti M45. I have a safety issue which involves a broken driver side seat lift bracket. I wasn't doing anything abnormal, but when I sat down in my vehicle I heard a "pop" and notice the seat now had a slight lean towards the center console. This is a huge concern, and after doing extensive research online, I have found that it is a manufacture defect rather than normal part wear. I'm real frustrated that I have spent this much money on a luxury vehicle (my third Infiniti), and a safety concern like this (which should be a recall) isn't addressed by Infiniti, but rather the cost be covered out of the customers pocket. I spoke with my local dealer about it, and was given a substantial estimate to examine it, and 6-7 x's larger amount to repair it. This is truly frustrating and the fact that I have been told that it is "my problem" is really steering me away from purchasing another Infiniti vehicle .
The contact owns a 2006 Infiniti M45. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the front driver's seat dropped down. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the seat welding needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
The driver's side seat track assembly broke, causing the seat to lean towards the center console. The break occurred at the welded steel. I researched this problem on different forums, and there are numerous accounts of the same issue. I feel that this flaw is unsafe and costly to the consumers. This defect should be recalled at the manufacturers expense.
As reported by others, this vehicle's driver's seat is unstable and moves forward upon braking.
I noticed for a couple of weeks my seat would rock back and forth when I accelerated. Yesterday when I sat down in my car, I heard a loud clunk and it was my driver's seat which apparently broke off the mechanism that holds it. I researched and saw many users are reporting the same issue. Now I have a broken driver's seat in my car.
