Hi i have got a 2006 Infinity m35x 117.000 miles on it , im a second owner and not sure when the last time trans fluid was changed . The car shifts smooth up and down no problem , but when switching from D to R i feel car jerk a little and pool , you can also see car lift up on neutral and lower down when in gear, it gets little annoying inside since you can really feel it yank you back or forward. Im not sure if it is normal to those cars or its my trans... or brakes are nod good. One more thing i cant figure out is the mirrors turning when in reverse , both of them go way too far down and start skipping gears and clicking loudly and when set back to drive dont come back all the way , any way around it? Thank you.

I need to replace my low beam ballast and possibly the bulb. Is it all accessible thru the fender well or is it in another location? Thanks for info

The problem is probably a faulty fuel gauge, many people got suckered into replacing the sending unit which was really never the issue.
 
The NHTSA is currently investigating Infiniti regarding this specific problem. I believe that if Infiniti doesn't recall the instrument cluster very, very soon they will loose control on containing the bad press and their reputation.
 
I suggest everyone affected by this should go to NHTSA Web-site and file a complaint.

#1354 of 1362 No radio after a new battery?? by jeffry

AAA just replaced the battery on my 2006 M35(w/ nav system) & now the radio doesn't work. I push the "Radio" button & nothing happens, CD works fine & apparently everything else though seat memory needs resetting. At 1st FM stations would work but none of other the radio/SAT functions. I suspected that I might have to redo my presets but it appears that the whole radio function is out. Any bright ideas?? I don't see anything in my manual or in these posts re the issue. Thanks.

If the radio does not work with the new battery ,put the old battery back in.

That makes absolutely no sense. The main reason batteries are replaced is because they no longer work. They're dead. They can't make the car start. Putting the old battery back in would cause EVERYTHING not to work, including the radio.

Think about it, would you really then care about the radio ! Seriously, Good Luck. I have had good luck , so far with my M45 but they certainly have a lot of electronics with difficult issues by history.

#1358 of 1362 2006 M35x 88k Still going Strong by armen6

My 2006 M35x is an amazing car. After years of torturous highway and hilly LA stop and go traffic, the M just keeps going and going. What's better is the minimum amount of maintenance I've done to it over the years. I had a dealer 30k done and regular oil changes, brakes, tires and filters. That's about it. Now, as its getting into its mid/later life I want to make sure it performs well through the later years. I have noticed a little bit of lagging throttle response off the line, but nothing major considering its mileage/age. Are there any suggestions on performance tweaks that might help besides a tune-up? Not sure if it needs that but will check with dealer.
