#96 of 188 Re: M35 tracking on highway [obab905] by barryend Jan 25, 2008 (5:05 am)
Replying to: obab905 (Jan 25, 2008 3:54 am) 2006 M35X 2 yrs. old 28,000 mi. When I first complained a year ago the dealer said that is because the car is designed for great handling. The problem got worse and it became hard to control car. Pepe was glad to replace the steering rack by 27,000 mi. Immediate steering improvement. Goodyear RS-A's are also considered to cause the problem. I just put on Continental Conti Extremes from Mavistire on line price. 135.00 ea. Softer dampened ride. More cleat for snow. Driving to VT tonight. Let's see the difference. Many boards have postings about this problem. RECALL!

Replying to: wise_henry (Dec 26, 2007 8:10 am) RECALL! The dealer replaced my steering rack. That's the cure. New tires afterward helped the ride. I got Conti Extreme from mavistire. On line oder and install at their store. Tire Rack has same price $135 each. Steering rack replacement included alignment under warranty.

Replying to: barryend (Jan 25, 2008 5:16 am) Thanx for the info. My car goes to Pepe on Monday... now I have some backup goin in... The service manager told me over the phone that there are no "Known issues" with this particular problem...evidently he was not the service writer that logged you in..... It's ashame, the car is great but this gives me a bad feeling about this car. My wife has an 07 G35x which she loves and she won't let me drive... she won't drive my car because of the tracking problem. I've always had Nissans/Infiniti's and never experienced a problem like this one. I should have done my homework better on this car before the purchase.   I hope this can be resolved.

Replying to: obab905 (Jan 25, 2008 8:48 am) I had a G35X loaner for 3-days. Incredible.   Ryan (?) was my service rep. The new guy there.   Pepe only makes money on warranty work.   Best results if you go there and they test drive.   Potential recall IMHO.

#101 of 188 Steering wheel shake and rough ride- 2006 M35 by arnold14 Jan 30, 2008 (12:04 pm)
I just bought a 2006 M35 with 63,000 miles and the steering wheel shakes when braking at over 60mph. Does anyone else have this problem? I have an extended warranty to 100,000 miles so I might have to use it.   Also,the ride is rough for a luxury car because of the 18" wheels and low profile tires. Has anyone tried putting 15" or 16" wheels and higher profile tires on the M35 to give it a softer ride over the bumps?

Replying to: arnold14 (Jan 30, 2008 12:04 pm) Does your warranty cover brake parts like rotors? M35X rides rough. What tires do your have? OEM Goodyears RS-A's were rougher than the Conti Extremes I just put on at 28,000 mi. Only selling M35X's in NY. Only M45s are rear wheel. See reviews on tirerack.com

Replying to: arnold14 (Jan 30, 2008 12:04 pm) I put some 17" snow tires on mine...it's a combination of the softer tread compound and the taller tire, and yes, it rides better. In fact, it handles almost as well as the Goodyears do.
#104 of 188 Tire Update 06 M35X by bobicg Feb 11, 2008 (2:55 pm)
I have now 8,000 miles on a set of Michelin Primacy XMV4 tires. Great in snow and rain, no flat spots, quiet and handle well in moderately aggressive driving. I drive 20K miles per year throughout the upper mid-west these are MUCH better than the Goodyears.
