New Car Assessment Program
The 2007INFINITIM35 carries 173 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 8 crashes, 0 fires, 9 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 M35 is air bags with 45 filings, followed by seats (39) and steering (26). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 5 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 7 investigation files overlapping the 2007 M35. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I was driving home recently and the back of my seat near the base gave out on me, the lower back/bottom raising motor was working but the seat was not going up. Upon inspection I found that the welds on the seat bracket had broken, going online and searching found me countless forums of seat brackets breaking during driving. Two main issues with this 1. I almost lost control due to the sudden drop 2. If I was to get into a collision the seat is not secure whatsoever. This is not an uncommon issue and I am astonished no recall has been given Sources of similarity [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Electrical fault in a sensor that I believe causes the engine to shut down. This issue was reported to Infiniti but not corrected; although, Nissan issued a voluntary recall citing a sensor failure that can lead to engine shutdown.

Failure of Occupant Detection Sensor. Air bag light keeps blinking.
WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE MY CAR SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AND IWOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE SLIP INDICATOR/VOC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL I WAS ABLE TO DO WAS MAKE IT TO THE EXIT WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR WAS THE CAUSE. I TESTED BOTH AND BOTH WERE GOOD. I WAS BEEN TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM AND HAD BEEN AT A LOSS UNTIL I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE DISCOVERING THAT SEVERAL 07 INFINITY MODELS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SIMILAR ISSUE AS MINE.
There are cracks all along the airbags in the front of the vehicle just like the previous recalled Infiniti models
On 7/13/21 afternoon, I parked my car in a parking garage of Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, IN. Around 6 pm, as I was backing out of my parking spot on reverse gear and turning the steering wheel, the car seemed sluggish. So, I pressed the accelerator -- lightly, I believe . All of a sudden, the car just took off, moving backward very fast in a semicircle. It first hit the back of a parked car with its front right side and then a concrete wall with its back with tremendous force. I was alone in the car. I called my wife. She came from our home and called 911. The university police and medic arrived promptly, as did two of our friends. One friend drove my wife and me to IU Health Hospital emergency in Lafayette, IN, and the other friend waited at the accident spot for AAA to come. Apparently, AAA came a little later and towed the car to Nissan of Lafayette body shop. Based on the x-rays and CT scans done at the emergency, the attending physician's assistant tol
I have a 2007 Infiniti M35S that has been garaged kept since purchase. My dashboard has started to crack and exude a shiny, sticky, messy substance. I do not know whether this substance is toxic to the touch or my respiratory system. I have never used any type of cleaner or solvents on my dashboard, only a microfiber towel and water. I'm not sure how to answer how my safety or the safety of others is at risk since I don't know what the particular substance is. Secondly does the fragile state of the dashboard put me and my passengers at greater risk of injury with the discharge of an airbag. I have read several complaints where other Infiniti owners are experiencing the same issue with Infiniti vehicles circa 2006 - 2008. Infiniti should do the right thing and fix this problem!!
THE LEFT FRONT DRIVER SEAT BEGAN MOVING SLIGHTLY FWD/BACK WHEN BRAKING AND ACCELERATING AT @ 75K MILES. THEN THAT ASSEMBLY JUST BROKE (SEAT SETTLED) AS I GOT IN THE CAR ONE DAY AND I CAN NO LONGER MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH OR UP/DOWN AT ALL. SO RAIL BROKE AND THEN THE SEAT MOTOR DIED. I HAVE READ OF SO MANY OF THESE STORIES WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCH, I FOUND THEY ONLY USED THIS ASSY FROM 5/2006 TO 9/2007. I HAVE TO BELIEVE NISSAN/INFINITI KNEW THEY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS DESIGN. *TR

I HAVE A VERY STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD THAT IS AFFECTING THE VISIBILITY AND GLARE WHILE DRIVING. *TR
I HAVE NOTICED MY DASH IS MELTING TERRIBLY BAD ITS NOW HAS SOFT SPOTS AND IS NOW SUPER STICKY FROM MELTING AND CRACKING AND CHIPING OFF IN SOME AREAS WHERE IT HAS MELTED AND THEN CRACKED AS IT HARDENED BACK. IF I TRY TO CLEAN IT WITH CLEANER MADE FOR DASHES THE COLOR JUST SMEARS AND THE DASH MATERIAL ITS SELF SMEARS AND ANY KIND OF CAR CLOTH JUST LEAVES PATCHES OF STUFF FROM THE DASH BEING STICKY AND MELTED. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM I AM FINDING ALL OVER THE WEB. WHY ARE OUR DASHES NOT BEING FIXED? THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES IF I WAS TO GET INTO A WRECK AND THE DASH JUST CRUMBLES OR SQUISHES BECAUSE ITS MELTED.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A NORMAL CITY STREET IN REGULAR TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD, POWERED BY THE SEAT CONTROL. I REACHED DOWN TO PUSH THE LEVER/SEAT CONTROL BACK, BUT THE SEAT MOTOR WOULD NOT STOP; IT PUSHED THE SEAT FULLY FORWARD. I STOPPED THE CAR TO MOVE IT BACK AND WAS UNABLE TO. THE OTHER SEAT FUNCTIONS WORKED: UP, DOWN, TILT, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST THREE TIMES THE SEAT MOTOR HAS STARTED WORKING AGAIN OF ITS OWN ACCORD. THIS TIME IT IS STILL STUCK FORWARD.
