2006 INFINITI M35 Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Infiniti M35. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle quickly decelerated, and the contact was able to pull the vehicle off to the shoulder of the highway. The contact made several attempts to restart the vehicle with several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed back to the residence. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

DRIVING ON MY CITY ROAD AT 45 MPH MY INFINITI M35 INSTANTLY WENT FROM NORMAL RPMS TO 0, BRAKES LOCKING AND STEERING AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A COMPANY PARKING LOT TO TURN MY INFINITI OFF AFTER GETTING IT IMMEDIATELY IN PARK. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR AND ALMOST FIVE DAYS OF TRYING AND HAVING IT TOWED HOME, I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET MY CAR TO RESTART. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM SLIP, BRAKE, SERVICE ENGINNE, THE BATTERY, ETC CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THE CAR WILL TRY TO CRANK BUT WON'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE KEY FOB BATTERIES, PUT NEW OIL, ALL NEW GAS, 2 NEW BATTERIES, MULTIPLE JUMPS, CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND STILL NOTHING. THE BRAKES ARE STILL HARD TO PRESS ON AND LOCKED SINCE THE IDLING AND THEY WON'T EVEN HARDLY MOVE AS I TRY STARTING THE IGNITION....

MY PCM(POWER/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, MORE THAN $700) HAS A PROBLEM, IT SHUT DOWN THE FAN RANDOMLY. THE ENGINE BECOMES TOO HOT TO DRIVE. I PARKED IT AROUND 4 HOURS TO COOL DOWN. AC IS ALSO NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF THE PCM. IT BLOWS HOT AIR INSIDE THE CAR. THERE IS NEWS ABOUT THE PCM RECALL, BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE SYSTEM. WHY?

CRUSING AT ABOUT 75MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY , MY CARS RPM BOUNCED UP THEN DROPPED DOWN TO 0 , THE CAR BECAME STIFF AND TURNED OFF. I HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTIL ABOUT 30 MINS LATER , I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING. I LATER FIND OUT IT WAS AN ERROR IN THE ECM AND IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, SO I CALLED A FAMILY MEMBER TO GIVE ME A JUMP. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM PICKING THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD STILL BE ON BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I HAD IT TOWED TO AAA CAR CARE CENTER, WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT I MAY NEED TO HAVE THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS REPLACED. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND READING COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS AND FORUM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI M35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER.

IT'S SIMPLE MY FANS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL WHEN I TURN MY A.C. ON MY CAR RUNS HOT WHEN I CUT IT OF THE TEMPERATURE COMES DOWN AS I DRIVE BUT TODAY MY CAR WENT SO HOT THAT MY CAR TURNED OFF AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING MY FANS TO NOT WORK PLEASE HELP I CAN'T GET TO WORK AT ALL.

TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE FUEL GUAGE SHOWED IT STILL HAD HALF A TANK, SO I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED IT UP ON WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR I SEEN THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ITS NOT WORKING, ANOTHER THING IS WHERE IT SHOWS WHAT GEAR YOUR ON IT SEEMS TO BE BROKEN LIKE THE LITTLE SCREEN IS BROKEN FROM IN SIDE ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN ILL POST SOME PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I MEAN. ALSO THE (AFS) ON THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT DOES NOT WORK THE BEAM STAY'S ALL THE WAY DOWN POINTING THE GROUND NOT STARIGHT AHEAD SO I COULD SEE CLEARLY WHATS IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS OCCURED ON THE LEFT SIDE HEAD LIGHT THE RIGHT SIDE ITS WORKING FINE. ON THE FIRST PICTURE YOU COULD SEE THE FUEL GAUGE POSITION...

TAKATA RECALL, MY WIFE CALLED THE NUMBER AND TALKED TO SOMEONE AT INFINITI. BUT OUR CAR SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC,,,BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE NARROWLY ESCAPED THREE/FOUR DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. AND AS WE WERE SEARCHING FOR THE PROBLEM, WE NOTICED A RECALL FOR THAT ALSO. SHE ASKED ABOUT A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL CAN BE FIXED. BUT TO NO AVAIL. IM NOT SURE OF WHAT TO DO, ITS A VERY BAD SITUATION WHEN YOUR CAR JUST SHUTS OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND YOU BEGAN A SLOW COAST IN MOVING TRAFFIC. AND I FEEL WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MISS WORK, KIDS MISS PRACTICE, AND JUST SIT HOME UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. WE HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE , AND TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS ONE,,, THE RECALL SAYS " DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT"......AND IT ALSO SHIFTS DOWN,, IM NOT SURE HOW THE INFINITI LOANER...

I BROUGHT MY CAR INSIDE TO VACUME IT OUT ON A COLD DAY .I CLOSED ALL THE DOORS AND BOTH PASSENGER SIDE DOORS NEVER OPENED AGAIN.THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED ACTUATORS FOR AROUND $1,500.00 PLUS THE COST OF NEW DOOR PANELS BECAUSE THEY CANT GET THE DOORS OPEN.I WENT THROUGH THIS LAST WINTER WITH THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR.

ON MARCH 9TH, 2015 MY 2006 INFINITI M35 STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND BATTERY AND COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER. INITIALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ECM (BRAIN) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, AFTER A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM ME TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, THE NISSAN FACTORY AGREED TO COVER THE ECM REPLACEMENT (~$2200). ON APRIL 9TH, 2015 THEY INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS "FIXED AND READY" HOWEVER WHEN DRIVING HOME IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY (WHILE GOING ~70MPH WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME) AND AGAIN, IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND PAID FOR AN ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC ($420) AT WHICH TIME THEY DISCOVERED "MELTED AND SHORTING" WIRES BETWEEN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT (PDU) AND THE FUSE BOX... ON APRIL...

THESE DEFECTIVE PARKS KEEPS MAKING THE IDLE JUMP AND SOMETIMES STALL. I KEEP REPLACING THEM TO SEE IF THEY ARE BAD BUT WILL NOT CLEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR
