The 2013 Infiniti M35 has 3 recalls, all affecting the hybrid model, with the most serious being a driveshaft that can fatigue and break, cutting drive power or disabling the parking brake and allowing the vehicle to roll away.
The driveshaft issue has seen prior repair attempts that did not fully resolve the problem, so owners who had earlier work done may still be affected. Separately, a hybrid powertrain overheating condition can cause the control module to shut the engine off while driving, leaving the vehicle without power in traffic.
