- Steering
VEHICLE 4WAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. WHILE DRIVING AFTER MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL UN-ALIGNS ITSELF SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IT'S AS IF THE CAR IS UNALIGNED. I DID RESEARCH AFTER READING THERE HASVE BEEN MANY INFINITY RECALLS FOR STEERING ISSUES AND THIS IS COMMON. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED I MAY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURE ISSUE. HOW CAN I GET ASSISTANCE TO GET THIS FIXED?
- Electrical system › Instrument panel › Speedometer/odometer
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Infiniti M37. The vehicle was a local independent dealer sale. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, the contact was informed by the mechanic that there was a mileage discrepancy. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 80,000. The VIN search by the mechanic indicated that the mileage was 180,000.
- Air bags
In December, 2022, the airbag warning light activated. AT a cost to us of over $1500, the Infiniti dealer replaced the failed sensor. What we did not know is that this did not fix the problem and the air bag on the passenger side would never have deployed in the event of an accident. In November, 2023, the airbag warning light again activated. It turns out that the seat assembly had actually failed of which we were unaware. This is a very expensive repair to a part that should never have failed in the first place. After significant discussions with Infiniti, they did decide to cover the cost of the seat assembly itself but not the labor to install it (another $800). At this time, we are…
- Air bags
The airbag control module failed on this car which has under 25000 miles on it. The airbag would not have deployed if the car was in an accident and insurance claims would have been void so we had no choice but to immediately replace the module at a cost of over $2,000. The dealer inspected and confirmed that this was the case (and also that they have seen it happen on other Infinity's). The warning light was the first indication of the problem and we immediately took it to the dealer who replaced it. We can understand mechanical failures in an older car but it seems ridiculous that this vital piece of safety equipment would fail on a car with very low mileage and we have never had a car…
- Air bags
2013 INFINITYM37S PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION, APPARENTLY SHUTTING OFF PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THE NHTSA SHOULD MAKE NISSAN/ INFINITY MAKE CORRECTION TO THIS SENSOR, BEFORE MANY OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLE FAMILY ARE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED.
- Power train
WHEN I ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SPEED UP AND SOMETIMES IT HESITATES. THIS IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY IT TAKES A WHILE AFTER I ACCELERATE FOR THE CAR TO GET UP TO SPEED. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. INFINITI NEEDS A RECALL. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.
- Engine
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.

VEHICLE 4WAS LIGHT IS ON. WHILE DRIVING AFTER MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL UN-ALIGNS ITSELF SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IT'S AS IF THE CAR IS UNALIGNED. IT THEN ALIGNS ITSELF AT SOME POINT UPON ANOTHER TURN. I DID RESEARCH AFTER READING THERE HAS BEEN MANY INFINITY RECALLS FOR STEERING ISSUES.
