Recently, my M45 has developed a bad smell when ever I use the A/C. If I turn the A/C on, there will be some smell (When the A/C is on, the smell is not strong, but, if I pay attention, I know it is there). But, when the A/C is turned off, immediately, there will be strong smells, like almost bad food / fungi smell and it will last for the rest of the trip, but, it becomes minimum the next day. I replace the in-cabin filter every year, so I know it is not that. I have read that this could be caused by the evaporator and is a known problem (for any car with A/C, not M specific). So, I am just checking if any other M or Infiniti owners had this problem? And if this will be covered under warranty? If not, what did you do to fix this and how much it costs?

I have a 2007 Infiniti M35x with 26,000 miles and it has been having some steering issues since I bought it. The steering feels precise when turning left. It snaps back correctly when straightening the car, and seems to have the right tension. However when turning right, the steering does not feel precise, seems to be have less "tension" (feels loose). The difference can be felt at slower speeds. I got four new Michelin Primacy tires just recently, so tires are not the issue. And this issue has been there since I got the car at 20,000 miles (when it had the older tires). Has anyone seen issues like this with their M35? I went to the dealership and went for a test drive with the service tech. He says he can't feel the issue and says there is probably no issue since there are no noises from the steering. Not sure what to do here and this is frustrating. It takes a while to get a feel for the car and only then you can detect the issue. The car is not fun to drive when the steering is not precise. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks. |

Replying to: fiddler2500 (May 04, 2009 2:10 pm) I assume you have checked tire pressure and alignment. Rotated tires and wheels are true? Do you drive on highly crowned roads? Try a flat lot like a mall lot after hours. Write Consumer Reports. Their glowing review encouraged me to lease mine. This steering problem has been widely remarked on this and other forums.

Replying to: barryend (May 04, 2009 6:34 pm) I will write to Consumer report too. They should not be recommending this car so highly.
