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 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 10956306 · 2017-02-22 (February 22, 2017)
ALL 4 WINDOWS ROLL DOWN, RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF. MY KEY FOB IS NOT ONE THAT ALLOWS THE HOLDING DOWN OF THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTON TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN. IT IS EVIDENTLY A MALFUNCTION AS THERE IS NOTHING DOWN BY THE DRIVER TO CAUSE IT.

Owner report 10991424 · 2017-05-24 (May 24, 2017)
THE STEERING WHEEL HOUSING CAME OFF TRACK/SEPARATED AND I CANNOT USE THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT IT BEING IN A RAISED MANNER SO THE HOUSING WONT RUB AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR IS OUT OF MANUF WARRANTY BY YEARS NOT MILEAGE. (4 YR 60K). I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND DEALER WILL NOT HONOR THE OBVIOUS DESIGN DEFECT.

Owner report 11046273 · 2017-11-15 (November 15, 2017)
I OWN A 2013 INFINITI AWD M37XS THAT I FEEL IS UNSAFE BECAUSE OF A STEERING ISSUE OR SOMETHING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY VEERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE UNLESS THE ROAD TRAVELLED IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITHOUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS AND IT IS NOT OFTEN A ROAD IS FLAT WITHOUT IMPERFECTIONS.. I HAVE TO CONTINUAL COURSE CORRECTIONS AND IT IS VERY EASY TO OVERCOMPENSATE THE STEERING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO VEERING OFF THE ROAD ESPECIALLY IF THE ROAD IS A NARROW TRACK/COUNTRY ROAD, CRASHING AND OR CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I USE TO LIVE IN NC AND MD AND…
