The 2013 INFINITI M35 has 3 recalls, all affecting hybrid models only, with the most serious being a potential engine shutdown while driving that raises the risk of a crash.
The hybrid powertrain control module can overheat and cut the engine off without warning, leaving the driver without power in traffic. On the drivetrain side, the driveshaft can fatigue and break, which produces two separate dangers: the car loses forward drive power while moving, or, if the vehicle is in park and the parking brake is not set, the broken shaft can disable the parking brake mechanism and allow the car to roll away on its own.
