| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| When driving on freeway the car pulls to right or left hard for no reason, this is not a out of alignment issue, car just had a 4 wheel alignment. this is very dangerous at high speeds. i think it is a steering rack issue and needs to be addressed with nissan before someone gets killed by loosing control of car. | |||

| 2007 infiniti m35x aburptly pulls left and right over small and large bumps on the road. it appears that the steering rack is defective. because of this, there was a lot of going in and out of my lane numerous times; which almost caused like 3 accidents. | |||

| I have a 2007 infiniti m35x which has a terrible problem with the steering when i am driving over a rutted or bumpy road. the steering will pull hard to one side or the other and one time almost took me off the road. the dealer says it's the tires, which are goodyear rsa original equipment on the car. however, i have driven their other cars with the same tires without any problems at all. i've owned many cars, including infinitis, without this problem and fear this is a very dangerous car as is. *tr | |||

| In november 2007 i purchased a new 2007 infiniti m35. since that time, whenever i drive over rough surfaces, the car jerks to the left and right, requiring a very firm grip on the steering wheel at all times. the local infiniti service consultant said this was a common problem for this type vehicle. after some research, i discovered there are other 2007 m35 owners with the same problem. they define their problem as | |||

| 1 - problem has occurred since i purchased the car new in feb 2007.1 - when i drive on roads with truck ruts the car pulls one side or another, often forcing me into the other traffic lane (if i do not catch it soon enough). 3 - no recall to fix this problem to date. i do not have an alignment problem nor a tire problem. *tr | |||

| Car has very irregular steering especially on grooved pavement. pulls sharply in either direction from time to time. i believe this is called tramlining. i had a 2006infiniti m35x sedan which had this problem and i now have a 2007 model of the same car and the problem is even worse. my wife refuses to drive the car thinking it is unsafe. i have new tires on the car. *tr | |||

| I own a 2007 infiniti m35x and it pulls or it has tramlining issues. the car pulls wildly to the right or left indiscriminate on various roads. the car feels like it is going to loose control and go into the ditch or one coming traffic! something is wrong with the tires, steering rack or both. recall is in order. *tr | |||

| On mildly rutted highway surfaces, such as i-5 and i405, vehicle jerks to the left and right, requiring aggressive steering wheel management to keep the car in the proper lane of travel. on heavily worn surfaces, like i-90 in spokane, the car will jerk hard enough to the left and right to swerve into the next lane on either side. dealer says this is a common complaint on m35x (all wheel drive) only. was advised by infiniti dealer to increase tire air pressure to 37psi front and 33psi rear. this helped but not substationally this is a dangerous vehicle! no accident, yet! there needs to be a design change before i get killed of kill someone else. *tr | |||
