| My 2007 infiniti m45 suddenly lost all electrical power throughout the vehicle resulting in the engine stalling which potentially could have resulted in a crash. the vehicle was immediately towed to passport infiniti of alexandria for diagnosis and repair. the diagnostic test revealed a failed intelligent power distribution module, ipdm which after in-depth research, has proven to be faulty in multiple nissan & infiniti vehicles ranging from years 2004 - 2006. there are current manufacture recalls on several nissan vehicles to replace faulty ipdm's and it is my belief that the m45 is affected likewise. currently, the vehicle is completely out of commission and slightly outside of any manufacture warranty coverage as it is a 2007 with approximately 80,000 miles. i have contacted infiniti consumer affairs in attempt to gain their acknowledgement and acceptance of full responsibility to cover repair cost without any success. i was informed by a case worker that there is no reported evidence of ipdm failure in the 2007 infiniti m45 and as a consumer i have to absorb all cost to get the vehicle repaired and returned back to full operational status. the preliminary dealer assessment suggests replacing the ipdm at a very expensive $1300.00 price tag with a 12 month or 12k warranty. according to the dealer service manager, the cost could be more depending on possible other identified electrical issues that my have triggered the ipdm failure. | |||

| The driver side front seat mechanisim has failed in my vehicle. this vehicle is equiped with six-way power adjustable seats. as i was driving the vehicle, the seat suddenly drop to the lowest position on the floor and will no longer raise or lower. as well, the seat now seats not to be properly anchored to the floor of the car. the right side of the seat belt is attached to the bottom of the seat rail and when i stop or put any tension on the seatbelt, i can feel the seat moving about. i am afraid to allow my son or my wifde to drive this vehicle as it seems that the seat will not stay anchored to the floor in the event of an accident. | |||

| I purchased a 2007 infiniti m45 sport and feel that i have an incredibly dangerous safety issue due to the steering and/or wheels and tires. the problem, known as tramlining, is that on slightly uneven or lightly damaged roads the car's steering decides to aggressively follow a path that it chooses itself and if the driver has the slightest lapse in attention, the car will abruptly veer completely into a different lane or off the road. white-knuckled driving has become all too familiar to me as a result. my vehicle has not been altered in any way. i have discussed this issue with many other owners who share the same complaint. thank you for your time. *tr | |||
