2010 INFINITI G37 Problems

My passenger airbag light is on and when I reported it to Infiniti, they told me it was the airbag sensor in the seat and that the entire seat would need to be replaced for a cost of over $2000.00. I understand there was a previous recall for the previous years, but not for 2010 models. In speaking with other Infiniti owners, I understand this is a common issue with the G37. Why has there not been a recall issued?

Passenger side airbag error code is displayed on my dash. It is error code B1018 occupant sensor malfunction.

The firewall drain grommets for the sunroof drain line have needed to be replaced three times over the past 5 years. This is a well known design defect. Many Infiniti owners have complained about rain water ruining the interior foot wells on both the driver and front passenger areas AND causing damage to electronics inside the car. The design flaw issue is very expensive to repair, and to add insult to injury, the costly repair does NOT last for more than a couple of years. These vehicles should have a recall issued, which is the only real way to get the Infiniti car manufacturer's attention. Otherwise, vehicles will continue to be sold with this known defect. Damaged electronics are dangerous because they are known fire and safety hazards. Infiniti needs to be held accountable.

INFINIT HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR CONVERTIBLE TOP MECHANISM. THEY RUN A METAL TO PLASTIC GEAR THAT STRIPS AND FAILS. THIS CAUSES THE TOP TO SOMETIMES STOP MID CYCLE AND THROW AN ERROR CODE. THEN THE OWNER IS UNABLE TO SECURE THE TOP. I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER WITH THE TOP IN MID POSITION, NOT SAFE. FRANKLY NOR IS IT TO SAFE TO TOW IN THAT POSITION. IN MY CASE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAT ONCE. IF ONE GOOGLES "INFINITI CONVERTIBLE FLAP FAILURE" YOU WILL SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. INFINITI HASN'T REWORKED THE PARTS (CAR WAS CANCELLED) OR COVERED THE REPAIRS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. BETTER YET THESE REPAIRS ARE 2K PER OCCURRENCE TO RESOLVE. AND IN MY CASE FAIL EVERY OTHER YEAR.

The contact owns a 2010 Infiniti G37. The contact stated while driving into the garage at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. The contact stated that the engine revved to 5,000 RPMS. The contact depressed the brake pedal, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure occurred on three other occasions in a parking lot, and while driving on the roadway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed but no cause for the failures were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

PLEASE RECALL THIS CAR BECAUSE I ESTABLISHED A CAR ENGINE PROBLEM AT INFINITI MIAMI CENTER. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME BY A LIAR FROM A DEALERSHIP. HE SOLD A CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. BUT LESS THEN ONE MONTH IT SHOWS THE BIG PROBLEM. I HAVE ALL PROOFS. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IF YOU RECALL THE CAR IT CAN SAVE MY LIFE, MY FAMILY LIVES AND OTHER DRIVERS. PLEASE HELP ME. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WAS JUST STOPPED AT THE ROAD. I WAS VERY SCARED. SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE CAR. AND THE CAR SOMETIMES LOWER ITS SPEED TO EXTREMELY LOW. AND I NEED TO START UP THE CAR TO START DRIVING AGAIN. AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO HELP ME. HE STEAL MY MONEY AND GET ME OFF FROM THEIR OFFICE. VERY RUDE AND NOT TRUSTFUL DEALERSHIP. I WISH TO RETURN THE CAR TO THEM AND TAKE MY MONEY BACK. IT'S A FRAUD HAPPENED TO ME! ON INFINITY CENTER TOLD ME IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THAT CAR. AND IT'S NOT START UP OFTEN, OR CHANGED ITS SPEED VERY FAST.

The contact owns a 2010 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the airbag warning light illuminated. The contact later noticed that there was a crack in the dashboard. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they could repair the dashboard but not the airbags. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

TIMING BELT JUMPED AND RUINED ENTIRE ENGINE AT 69,000 MILES. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR UNDER 2 YEARS. REGULARLY SERVICED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. DEALERSHIP HAS COMPLETE RECORDS OF SERVICE FROM PRIOR OWNER. NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. INFINITI WILL NOT COVER ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR BECAUSE I'M A COUPLE OF MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I'M UNDER 70,000 MILES. I'M VERY HURT AND DISAPPOINTED. I'M A SINGLE WOMAN WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR BY HERSELF WITH A LOT FAITH. CAR IS STILL BEING FINANCED, YET NOW I HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. ANY ADVICE?

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED WITH LESS THAN 53,000MI STILL UNDER MANUFACTURED WARRANTY AND I EVEN BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM CARMAX WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING CAR AND WITHIN A WEEK I TOOK TO CARMAX CLUTCH WASN'T FEELING THE SAME WHEN SHIFTING (RETURN PRESSURE LOOSENED UP) THEY SAID CAR WAS FINE. JUST A LITTLE OVER A MONTH LATER I TOOK CAR TO INFINITI FOR SAME PROBLEM, THEY ALSO SAID THE CAR WAS FINE AND SHIFTING WAS NORMAL. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING HOME (A MONTH LATER EXACTLY AFTER INFINITY CHECKED IT OUT) MY CLUTCH PEDAL WENT ALL WAY TO FLOOR AND I COULDN'T SHIFT BARELY MADE IT HOME. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT MY CLUTCH IS NOT FINE OR SHINING RIGHT AT ALL I HAVE HAD TO PAY 2XS ALREADY FOR DIAGNOSES AND I HAVEN'T HAD MY CAR MORE THAN 3MONTHS!

WHILE DRIVING, MY CLUTCH BECAME SOFT AND "SPONGY" TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGAGEMENT POINT WAS ON THE FLOOR AND THE PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE ENGAGED POSITION. THIS WAS A RESULT OF A FAILING CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER WHICH HAS AFFECTED MANY G37 AS WELL AS NISSAN 370Z'S. *TR

IN 2013 I BEGAN NOTICED THE DASH BECOMING TACKY AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. BY 2015, THE DASH BEGAN TO POOL AND REFLECT SUNLIGHT WHILE DAY DRIVING. SHORTLY AFTER THE POOLING STARTED, THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING AND BECAME SOFT, WITH DAMAGE OCCURRING WHEN TOUCHED.

TOP OF DASH BECOMES EXTREMELY SHINY AND STICKY AFTER 1 HOUR OF SUNLIGHT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD CASING UNWANTED GLARE IN WINDSCREEN. TEMPORARILY CAN BE CLEANED WITH SOAP AND WATER AND RETURNS TO DULL NON STICKY APPEARANCE, BUT ONLY TEMPORARY. NEXT TIME CAR IS IN THE SUN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING OR PARKING, THE THE SHININESS AND STICKINESS RETURNS CAUSING MASSIVE REFLECTIONS IN THE WINDSHIELD. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. NO PRODUCT HAS BEEN USED ON THE DASHBOARD OTHER THAN SOAP AND WATER AS NEEDED. SUSPECT THE UV PROTECTION OR PLASTICS ARE FAILING. CAR ONLY HAS 35K MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THERE WAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND LATER CLASS ACTION SUITE FOR OLDER NISSANS AND INFINITI, BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T LOOKED TO BE SOLVED IN NEWER CARS.

NO APPARENT REASON FOR PROBLEMS. SEATBELT WARNING LIGHTS FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER BLINK/REMAIN LIT DUE TO PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE MALFUNCTION. REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AT DEALERSHIP. SEATBELT RETRACTORS ALSO REPLACED DUE TO SLACK, CAUSING SEATBELTS TO GET CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WHEN SHUT.

I WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT AND DRIVER BEHIND ME DID NOT SEE THE LIGHT. SHE REAR ENDED ME AT AN APPROX SPEED OF 30-35 MPH. THE FORCE OF THE HIT PUSHED MY CAR INTO THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME, RESULTING IN A 4 VEHICLE ACCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF IMPACT, MY GLASSES CAME OFF OF MY FACE AND I HIT THE WINDSHIELD - MY SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH BENT THE FRAME, DESTROYED THE TRUNK, AND RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS. I SUSTAINED A MODERATE TO SEVER CONCUSSION, ALONG WITH WHIPLASH AND PERSISTENT HEADACHES. *TR

WHEN CHANGING A TIRE NOTICED THE SCREW BOLT ON THE FACTORY JACK WOULD SLIGHTLY ROTATE COUNTER CLOCKWISE DURING STOPS WHEN LIFTING THE CAR. UPON LOWERING THE CAR AFTER INSTALLING THE SPARE AND APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY THROUGH LOWERING THE VEHICLE, THE JACK WAS NOT ABLE TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR AND THE SCREW BOLT RAPIDLY SPUN COUNTER CLOCKWISE AND THE CAR FEEL SUDDENLY. CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE FAILURE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE WHILE REMOVING AND CHANGING THE TIRE UNLESS THE JACK HANDLE IS ALWAYS ATTACHED TO THE 'RING' AND POSITIONED AT A ANGLE INTO THE ROAD SURFACE TO PREVENT ANY MOVEMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 INFINITI G37. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND FALSELY DISPLAYED THAT THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS REPORTED INCORRECTLY AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRUNK OPENED INDEPENDENTLY AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, CONFIRMING THAT THE TRUNK WAS OPEN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

BOTH THE DRIVER FRONT AND PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE REAR DOORS HAD NO ISSUES. THE FOB WOULD ALLOW ME TO LOCK AND UNLOCK, AS WELL, THE KEY IN FOB WORKED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK, HOWEVER THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THIS CONTIMUED FROM 7AM UNTIL 3PM WITH MULITPLE ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE DOORS. THE FRONT PASSENGAR DOOR OPENED RANDOMLY AT 2PM BUT THE OTHER DID NOT UNTIL AROUND 3PM. THE DOORS WORKED AS NORMAL UNTIL 10PM AND THEN AGAIN A REPEAT OF THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE READ ONLINE100'S OF ISSUES WITH VARIOUS NISSAN AND INFINITIS FROM YEARS 2008 TO 2011 WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, AS I WAS TRYING TO FIND REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THIS IS VARY UNSAFE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURED WE WOULD BE OUT OF LUCK TRYING TO GET OUT OF A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY WILL OR WILL NOT LET YOU IN OR OUT OF IT. I WILL BE FOLOWING UP WITH THE INFINITI /NISSAN DEALER AND MAKE SURE THIS IS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.

I HAD AN HOUR DRIVE TO RETURN HOME. I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 30 MIN WHEN I HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. WHEN I TRIED TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED ON THE FREEWAY,, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED. I HAD TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DISENGAGE ABOUT EVERY 3 MINUTES ALL THE WAY HOME. I WAS NOT IN A GOOD AREA TO STOP, SO I CONTINUED PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. WHEN I FINALLY ARRIVED AT A SAFE GAS STATION, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I HAD ABOUT 5 MORE MINUTES TO GET HOME AND IT DID NOT REPEAT THE INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY A VALET PARKER BROUGHT ME MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE FROM PARK, THE ENGINE RACED. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOOD. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAME AND GOT THE CAR. *TR

Inspection of vehicle exhibits extreme front subframe crossmember deterioration where condensation from air conditioning leaks onto and sits on crossmember. Afftected unit shows severe corrosion only on one side. This appears to be a very common issue surrounding vehicle model generation. Can lead to the front right control arm becoming unsupported and leading to loss of control of vehicle and fatal highway accident. Please investigate weather this issue is a safety concern from an engineering issue and requires corrective action from the manufacturer.
