Common questions

What's the best year to buy a INFINITI G37?

Based on NHTSA complaint volume and severity weighting, the 2013 INFINITI G37 scores 8.0/10 — the strongest in the 2008–2013 range. 63 complaints on file, 0 active recalls. Reliability scores reflect the federal complaint record, not subjective owner reviews.

Which INFINITI G37 year should I avoid?

The 2011 INFINITI G37 scores 7.6/10 — the weakest in the lineup. 99 owner complaints with NHTSA, 1 active recall. That doesn't mean every 2011 is a problem — it means failure rates run higher than peer model years on the same platform.

Which years of the INFINITI G37 should I avoid?

No INFINITI G37 model year currently rises to an "avoid" or "high-risk" verdict on the NHTSA data — either the record is clean or sample sizes are still too thin for a confident call. The year-by-year breakdown below shows what's on file regardless.

Those campaigns land on 3 model-year entries in total, because one campaign often covers several years at once — which is why per-year recall counts add up to more than the campaign count.

Year-over-year reliability scores derived from NHTSA recall and owner complaint volume, severity weighted by reported crashes, fires, injuries, and fatalities. Best/worst year calls require a minimum complaint sample per year so single-data-point years aren't crowned by chance.
