1 Seats problem of the 2006 Infiniti M45

Failure Date: 12/12/2017

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.

3 Seats problem of the 2006 Infiniti M45

Failure Date: 10/13/2016

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.

4 Seats problem of the 2006 Infiniti M45

Failure Date: 09/05/2016

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 .

5 Seats problem of the 2007 Infiniti M45

Failure Date: 01/16/2015

The seat started to slide forward upon breaking and slide backwards upon acceleration, this causes extra force to be applied to pedals because I am being slid into the pedals or away from the pedals.

The driver's side seat track assembly broke, causing the seat to lean towards the center console. The break occurred at the welded steel.

16 Seats problem of the 2003 Infiniti M45

Failure Date: 11/03/2003

Purchased new inf. M45 when car reached about 24000 miles. I took it in to be serviced. Infiniti service was unable to reproduce problem. Would call on several occasions informing dealership that their product was defective. I finally got tons of problems (perforated leather seats had mesh coming, cd changer jammed, ac compressor busted, belts on the motor had to be replaced, glove box had to be readjusted, hood had to be readjusted to stop the squeeking when closing the doors, front window guides and stabilizer-inner door had to be replaced to stop all the squealing when letting the windows up/down) and schedule another visit to see if the engine/exhaust problem could be repaired. The dealership had my car for 3 weeks. . . And cleaned out the combustion chamber at their cost and the day I got it back, it was still smoking out the pipes. The dealership says they know nothing else to do but to replace the motor if it's consuming oil. I found these other complaints which already state that Infiniti knows about this oil consumption problem and appears to be giving me the run around. If the motor is replaced with another Nissan v8, the same problem is likely to reoccur. Their product is defective.
