#118 of 125 2009 Infiniti M35 deals by kaushik91

Jan 11, 2011 (2:17 pm)

I am in the market looking for either 2009 or 2010 Infiniti black M35 with either tan or stone interior. It is hard to find car with my specification close to where I live. An infiniti dealer close to my house has a 2009 M35 with ~23K miles on it and is asking ~32K. The interior is tan and exterior is sandstone...though the exterior color do not appeal me....but this seems to be a good deal...any thoughts on this?
 
I have been able to locate 2009/2010 black M35 with either tan or stone interior, but they are all out of state....and I am little hesitant buying over the phone without actually seeing the car....
 
What would you guys do in this situation.....wait for the right car or just grab the 2009 M35 available at the local dealer.....
 
Thanks

#120 of 125 The Infiniti 7 AT in 2009+ Ms by almatti

I am curious of the Posters from 2008 who were contemplating getting the 2009 M {the X version came with the 5 AT}, how they like the 7 AT. I have a 2010 G37X with the 7AT. I find that it lumbers in a high gear - way too frequently and easily particularly on local suburban road (25-40 MPH); Lags on the downshift and it is very evident when Braking then stepping on the Throttle. Had the TSB IT-075 applied in February - no help in this regard. The terrible Coasting to Stop jerkiness improved, but nothing else. Checking other forums, I find that there are many sim ilar complaints about the 7AT, and there are others that like it alot. I compare this car's performance to my 07 G35X with a 5AT - Best car I ever owned in 40 years..
 
I am curious to hear from M owners b/c the other forums also show unhappiness from 2010/11 M35s or M45s with the 7AT. In fact, I'm in negotiations with Infiniti's Customer Service Division to Take the Car Back w/ o further costs to me....On a lease with 25 months to go. They are listening and have acknowledged that there are complaints similar to mine. The car has been checked out - there is nothing mechanically wrong nor electronically wrong. In the words of the Service Manager: "It is performing as it is designed to perform".... "Some people love it, Some people Hate it"... A "fix" is NOT forthcoming at this time...He did indicate that the Tranny runs with hestitation / lagging due to too many gears and was done to impriove the gas mileage over the entire fleet. I did NOT notice this during my fast test drive last June...If I had, I Would NOT have taken this car.

Hello,
 
I know this is a few years late but my folks are having the same issue with their 2010 M35 and aren't getting anywhere with the dealership or Inifinit (Nissan) since it never happens while the dealership has the car. They have a monitoring device installed now but they are scared to drive the car since it might stall and lose power on the highway....any response would be greatly appreciated.

Neither the dealer I bought the M35X from nor Infiniti corporate ever addressed the issue. I tried both avenues in person (with the dealer) and in writing. So I got rid of the car and bought another brand. I had never owned an Infiniti before and will never again. The solution I offered them was, IMHO, reasonable in view of the fact that they knew what he problem was and couldn't fix it. I asked them to replace the car in-kind and keep me as a customer. They chose instead to hassle me and essentially suggest there was no problem. I didn't trust the car and got rid of it almost two years ago.
  
I believe when you buy an Acura you're not buying a Honda. Likewise when you buy a Lexus, I don't think you're buying a Toyota. But when you buy an Infiniti I think you're buying a Nissan. Good luck with your parent's car.

Thank you for your response, what a total pain this has been for you and for my folks. I have owned a few Infinitis in the past without any issues and this has been a bit of a nightmare for them.
 
Good Luck

I purhased my M35X new 3 years ago and after 34K miles, I have not experienced any transmission or hesitations issues. In fact, the car has been flawless. My only issue, and it's one I knew about when I purchased my M, is the gas MPG is not very good. I have owned a Lexus GS and an Acura TL Sport and the M has been the most fun to drive.
