NHTSA defect investigations
Federal safety investigators have looked into a possible defect involving the 2007 Infiniti M35:
Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited.

Takata recall. I was involved in a accident on 9/10/2016. The air bag exploded and as a result I have broken ribs and caused a anjorysm and fluid in the lungs. Car was totaled. The accident was on I 30 in fort worth texas
I have contacted the Nissan consumers and filed a report approximately 2-months ago and was given an incident number. I had complained about several cracks on my dashboard in my 2007 Infiniti M35. My vehicle of low mileage and well maintained and kept in the garage. I have never utilized any other products on the dashboards. I have been reviewing several postings by other consumers that have been dealing with the same issue and the dealership refuses to install a new dashboard due to the age of the vehicle. This is a malfunction of production on Nissan Infiniti part and all those consumers affected should get a free dashboard replacement for the defective of part when car was made into production. To-date there's a recall on the airbag which no part still has come or delivered yet to the dealership. …

I am filing a complaint regarding a safety-related failure of the driver's seat bracket in my vehicle. The bracket has broken, causing the driver's seat to rock back and forth while the vehicle is in motion. I took the vehicle to an authorized dealer for inspection, and they confirmed that the seat bracket has failed. I was also informed that the replacement part is no longer in production and is unavailable. This condition poses a significant safety risk. A loose or unstable driver's seat can impair vehicle control, increase driver distraction, and reduce the effectiveness of seatbelt and airbag systems in the event of a crash. As a result, this defect substantially increases the likelihood of an accident and the risk of serious injury. I am aware that there have been numerous similar complaints regarding this issue, yet no recall has been issued. …
I was driving home recently and the back of my seat near the base gave out on me, the lower back/bottom raising motor was working but the seat was not going up. Upon inspection I found that the welds on the seat bracket had broken, going online and searching found me countless forums of seat brackets breaking during driving. Two main issues with this 1. I almost lost control due to the sudden drop 2. If I was to get into a collision the seat is not secure whatsoever. This is not an uncommon issue and I am astonished no recall has been given Sources of similarity [redacted]
Steering all 26 →
I have a 2007 Infiniti m35x and have noticed a pronounced problem that I recently learned is termed "tramlining". I have noticed the problem mostly at highway speeds on the interstate. When I change lanes, as the car moves to the center of the lane that I am coming from there is a very distinct pull on the steering wheel and feel as though the car is coming out of a rut. As the car completes the maneuver to the adjacent lane it literally swerves abruptly into the rut in the new lane, which again pulls the steering wheel and is very distinct. This problem is an annoyance during dry and clear weather conditions; however, in degraded weather snow, ice, or even wet pavements it is downright scary and in my opinion presents a significant safety hazard. From what I have read this is not unique. I was researching new tires (suspecting this could be the cause, along with a good alignment). …
This car has an undrivable issue of tramlining. It is so hard to stear when there are grooves or road imperfections...unlike any other vehicle I have ever driven. An Infiniti mechanic told me the problem is a defect in design of the steering rack. I can change the struts/shocks and put new tires and that will not help...I have been told. Please fix this problem so I can safely drive my car. It is so jittery to stear, I will not let my wife drive it. Update: I spent $450 at the Infiniti dealer to try and fix the steering. Reset a sensor and alignment. Nothing changed. Constant tramlining. I am told that a redesigned steering column would fix the issue. Again, this is dangerous. The car will not stay straight on a smooth straight road. Very dangerous in cornering.
