The 2007 Infiniti M35 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The airbag inflator issue is a well-known defect affecting a wide range of vehicles across multiple model lines and years. When the inflator ruptures during deployment, it does not simply inflate the airbag as designed; it breaks apart and flings metal shards toward anyone seated in the front passenger seat, with potentially fatal results. This is the same class of defect found across many makes and models over the past decade, and it represents the most urgent issue on this vehicle.
On the mechanical side, the accelerator pedal position sensor can degrade over time and begin sending incorrect signals to the engine. When that happens, the engine drops into a reduced-power fail-safe mode, and throttle valve deposits can cause it to stall when the car slows to a stop or sits at idle. An unexpected stall in traffic, particularly during a turn or when crossing an intersection, raises the risk of a collision.
