Vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 and M45 vehicles manufactured April 4, 2004, through October 5, 2010. Over time, the accelerator pedal sensor signal may deteriorate resulting in the output of an incorrect signal causing the engine to go into fail-safe (limp home) mode.

In this fail-safe mode, throttle valve deposits may cause the engine to stall when the vehicle is coming to a stop or at idle, increasing the risk of a crash.

In owners’ own words

Steering mileage not reported 5 mo in service
THE STEERING WHEEL "TRAMLINES" AND TURNS UNCONTROLLABLY. AT LOW SPEEDS , AND BEFORE THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, THE STEERING WHEEL MAY COME TO REST AT A 30 DEGREE ANGLE. *TR
Steering mileage not reported 6 mo in service
STEERING MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE. STEERING WHEEL TRAMLNES AND WANDERS. UNSAFE LANE CHANGE. *TR
Steering 3,800 mi 8 mo in service
THE AUTOMOBILE TRAMLINES CONSISTENTLY AND, UNDER SOME CONDITIONS, THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. *TR
Air bags mileage not reported 2.4 yr in service
SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH INFINITI M35X (JUST ALL WHEEL DRIVES) WITH TRAMLINING. CAR DANGEROUSLY JERKS AS TIRES TRACK INTO HWY GROOVES AND PAVEMENT GROOVES. THE PROBLEM GENERALLY GOES AWAY IF THE GOODYEAR RSA TIRES ARE REPLACED WITH CERTAIN OTHER BRAND TIRES. INFINITI IGNORES ALL REQUESTS TO REPAIR OR ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. IN SOME CASES, LIKE MINE, THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED BUT THAT ONLY SOLVED PART OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS OCCURS EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR
