2008 INFINITI G37 owner complaints

Air bag sensor suddenly come on. It cost $500 to diagnose that it was "probably" the sensor of the passenger seat. Cost to repair estimated at $5000. I see that this is a more common problem than Nissan admits. It should be recalled as others have. Not sure why it hasn't been. The car is worth less than $10,000. So I'm driving it in an unsafe condition but have no other choice financially. *dt VIN not available *jb

Passenger seat air bag sensor does not work. Infinity had an earlier recall and said problem was fixed in 2009. Infinity says automobile is now out of warranty and only fix is to replace seat at cost of $3500.00. I was told by infinity the recall was just to fix a wire not the sensor. Wanted to notify you of continued problem and see if more owners are reporting continued problem with air bag. *tr

Three times in the past 4 years, the air bag warning light was triggered when the battery was either disconnected/reconnected or jump started. Each time to re-activate the airbag safety system, I had to send out the air bag control module to have it reset. It is not expensive to do that , but it does mean one has to disassemble the center console, remove airbag control module and send it out to be reset. Additionally, during the time that the airbag light is on, my understanding is that the SRS is deactivated, which is obviously a safety hazard.

While driving down the road at 30 MPH or less, I hit a bump and both airbags deploy. Infiniti has an "open case" with me but tells me it will take 6-8 weeks to determine if it even is their liability. The car drives fine and has had no issues until this. Infiniti does not return calls as I have called over thirty times and left messages. I have a case manager, [xxx], whom I leave voice mail. My insurance agent said it was a manufacturer default and to contact Infiniti, which I promptly did. They refuse a loan vehicle while I am paying notes on a car I cannot drive.

Passenger seat air bag sensor does not work. Checked with Infiniti and VIN doesn't fall under any recall. Getting the sensor replaced under the extended warranty. Seeing similar complaints from other owners. *tr

2008 Infiniti g37s with a 5 speed automatic transmission with 41,000 miles - I was entering the freeway going about 55 MPH and there was an 18 wheeler in front of me having a hard time picking up speed. Before passing, I tapped my brake, downshifted from 4th to 3rd gear with my left paddle shifter near the steering wheel and proceeded to get in the lane to the left of the merging lane onto the freeway. I was halfway in the lane and hit the gas but there was no response for 3-5 seconds. I had cars coming up behind me at 65-70 MPH and my cars transmission was lagging, it was basically in neutral when I needed to go immediately, there was no response when I hit the gas, 2 cars almost hit me as my car decelerated to almost 45 MPH. This has happened numerous times and is very dangerous. When th

I was driving down the road and noticed the clutch wasn't "feeling normal." as I shifted into 3rd gear, the clutch pedal stuck to the floor and wouldn't spring back. I tried pumping on it, then managed to get my foot underneath it to pull it up and then down shift. When I depressed the clutch again and attempted to shift into 2nd gear, the clutch stuck again and I was stuck in 3rd. I finally eased on the brakes and had to intentionally stall my car. I was lucky to have been on slow moving, lightly used road, or else this could have caused an accident. I managed to push the car off into a designated parking area and attempt to restart the car to no avail. In us law, endangering comprises several types of crimes involving conduct that is wrongful and reckless or wanton, and likely to produce

G37s. Clutch flops around, rendering it ineffective - in traffic and at highway speeds. This has been a recurring problem. *tr

I've been having a continuing problem in regards the stock panasonic cd changer. The cd changer is moving discs around when the power to the car if off, won't eject discs or receive them. This malfunction is draining my battery. I brought the car into a Infiniti service shop and they advised me that the cd changer was malfunctioning and would repair if for $500.00, by inputting a remanufactured cd changer into the car. Upon them doing this, I was advised the radio they ordered, was also defective and they had to order another one. They replaced the cd changed and a month later, this cd changer also stopped working correctly. I had to go and have Infiniti replace the radio for the third time, which was out of warranty. The currently cd changer is working, but for how long? I asked Infiniti

Clicking noise coming from behind the tachometer. While driving, the clicking noise happens when the tachometer is between 2k & 3k. The faster I drive, the louder & faster the clicking. *tr

On october 23, 2009 I was driving in a parking structure with my Infiniti g37 2008 and a passenger. There were several parking spaces on the fourth floor. The parking structure was very busy and slow moving. I coasted into the parking sport since I was driving at a crawl. When I touched the brake light to come to a complete stop the car surged forward with such a force that it hit the wall that was approximately 3 foot in front of parking curb. If it hadn't have been for the wall the car would have gone over. *tr

On 9/30/2011 I was driving at approximately 10 MPH through our high school parking lot. My space is directly aligned with a speed bump. I slowed dramatically for the speed bump at the same time I made the turn to enter my parking space. The car responded incorrectly to the brakes, which had happened to me once before. The car surged forward, over a sidewalk, down an embankment and into a wall. The first time the car surged forward like that was in 2008 and the service department told me there was nothing wrong. This time, the crash caused irreparable damage and my car was totaled.

The dash of the car is melting causing a shiny surface that reflects off the windshield causing a visual impairment. The dash is getting sticky as well and can no longer be cleaned. Any rag used sticks to the dash. Dash has also become very soft which causes imperfections to occur at the slightest touch. There was a class action lawsuit for this that apparently only covered the state of florida. Nissan agreed to replace dash and cover all cost except for $250. This should have been blanket coverage across all Nissan/Infiniti models affected. I know of other owners with same issue - their dash was made of same material as mine.

Inside my 2008 g37 coupe, on the passenger side , water is leaking onto the floorboard. It looks like it's coming from somewhere in the firewall. I've ran my own test and tried to fix it multiple times for 3 years but finally caved in and looking for help. I think its something more than the sunroof drain . What can Infiniti do to help me ?

Sticky and shiny dashboard - my dashboard has become extremely sticky and shiny. Sticky to the point that it seems to be melting. Shiny to the point that makes it difficult to drive due to the glare coming off of the dashboard. Sunglasses do not even help with the glare. The material around the steering wheel has become wilted. This all started about a year ago and is getting worse. *tr

My garage kept 2008 g37s has a dash that has increasingly become shinier to the point that it has become dangerous to drive during the day when the sun is out. It is so reflective that it causes a tremendous glare on my windshield. This seemed to happen progressively over the last few years because when I bought the car 6 years ago it was not an issue. The dash itself is in one piece with no cracks but it is tacky like uncured rubber. If you put a fingernail in it lightly, that mark is now there to stay. This makes it impossible to clean or wipe down the dash due to running the finish. It also makes the inside of the windshield hazy due to what I have to assume is off gassing of some sort. The blinding glare this dash creates on my windshield has nearly caused me to crash on more than one

The engine makes clicking/tapping sound at start-up, dealer service department contacted. I was informed that I need a "special" oil change, and they're aware of the problem. After researching for the same problem, it looks like this 'special' factory oil will be needed and cost more than conventional oil. However, I was not informed of this specific matter when the vehicle was purchased nor does it say anywhere in my owner manuals. Apparently, only the dealership had such oil and I am require to use it after the fact. *tr

The dashboard is cracking and melting. Some small glare while driving is noticeable as it worsens. Infinity manufacturer needs to own up.
