The 2006 Infiniti M35 has 5 recalls, the most serious being a Takata passenger-side frontal airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
This airbag defect is the subject of multiple recall filings covering the same underlying hazard, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles. The risk is highest in high-humidity regions, including Florida, Hawaii, and U.S. territories, though later filings expanded coverage more broadly.
On the mechanical side, the accelerator pedal position sensor can degrade over time and send an incorrect signal to the engine, causing it to drop into a reduced-power mode. In that state, throttle deposits can cause the engine to stall when slowing to a stop or sitting at idle, which raises the risk of a crash.
