Owner report 10577139 · 2014-04-03 (April 3, 2014)

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY M37, I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO STEER ON THE ROAD. I STARTED DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A CONCEPT CALLED "TRAMLINING" THAT OTHER M INFINITI OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING AND WHICH DESCRIBED WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. I DON'T FEEL THERE IS A CERTAIN SPEED THAT TRIGGERS THE CONDITION. YOU REALLY HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO CONTROL THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE INFINITI DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND EXPLAINED THE CONCEPT OF "TRAMLINING". THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE ROAD AND HOW THE M3…

Owner report 10901913 · 2016-08-27 (August 27, 2016)

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE VAN WYCK EXPRESSWAY AND THE QUEENSBOROUGH BRIDGE IN NYC, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STEERING STARTED PULLING AND I MOMENTARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR 2-3 SECONDS. IT WAS IF THE CAR STARTED FOLLOWING THE CHANGE IN PAVEMENT OR THE GROOVES IN THE ROAD. I WAS TERRIFIED TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO REDUCE MY SPEED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH AND I SWITCHED TO THE OUTER LANES. YEARS AGO IN MY 20'S I NOTICED THIS WITH MY BROTHERS G35, BUT SINCE I WAS A NEW DRIVER I JUST ASSUMED THAT SINCE IT WAS A FAST CAR, MAYBE I COULDN'T HAN…

Owner report 10567493 · 2014-03-05 (March 5, 2014)

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS HESITATING SEVERELY WHEN PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN WITHOUT ANY DASHBOARD GAUGE WARNINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, DURING RUSH HOUR. I PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL PRIOR TO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN. CUT OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTED IGNITION AND CAR STARTED AS NORMAL. TRIED TO DRIVE BUT AFTER FIVE MINUTES BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN. PER THE DEALER DEFECT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SENSORS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN…

Owner report 11344017 · 2020-08-08 (August 8, 2020)

THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND ALSO WILL JERK AND JUMP WHEN SHIFTING. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE, BUT SOMETIMES WILL TAKE OFF ON IT'S OWN EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH I'VE HEARD BEFORE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR CAR. ALSO, 2 LIGHTS STAY ON ON MY DASH WHEN THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
