Description of the problem | Vehicle's steering wheel jerks out of no where. It also sways back and fourth while braking at times. The vehicle vibrates/shakes at speeds over 70mph. The infiniti dealership (plano, tx) stated the problems were due to a warped rotor, which is another issue with infiniti vehicles, so i resurfaced the rotors and within 6mths (under or around 5,000 miles) had to replace them. After i replaced the rotors crest infiniti stated the problem was then the tires so i replaced the tires and the problem continued. Afterwards they said it was the rims, i had the rims inspected and any defective rim either replaced or repaired. Within two month i replaced all four rims and tires. None of these solutions fixed the vibrating or jerky steering so i had alignments and road force balances performed on the car. Car still vibrates at speeds of 70mph or higher, far worse at speeds of 75-80mph or higher. This is a well known safety hazard with the 2006 m35/m45 infiniti!! The vehicle also has problems starting. I replaced the battery two months ago and it continues to struggle to start if it does start. The vehicle doesn't even have 35,000 miles on it and none of the safety hazards have been fixed! |
