2006 INFINITI M35
This model year
What the record shows
The 2006 Infiniti M35 is a large car, and the 6th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2001 to 2010.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine, 4-wheel or all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, a single transmission, Automatic (S5) and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 18 mpg.
The federal record holds 210 owner complaints, 6 safety recalls and 68 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
