INFINITI M45 lateral motion issue on snowy roads at speeds above 50 mph on INFINITI M45

Problem overview

Some INFINITI M45 owners report experiencing handling issues when driving on snowy roads at speeds above 50 mph, particularly related to lateral motion. These problems may arise despite the Snow-Mode function, which is designed to improve traction by adjusting throttle sensitivity and torque distribution. Additionally, the central computer processing system, which monitors traction conditions and adjusts torque distribution, may not fully prevent issues at higher speeds. Owners have noted that lateral motion problems could be linked to the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system or may be exacerbated by bad wheel bearings, which can also lead to increased noise levels when turning at speeds over 30 mph. It is crucial for owners to ensure that all vehicle components, including the steering system, tires, and suspension, are well-maintained to enhance control and safety on slippery surfaces.
