1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2020

The vehicle has started to stutter upon taking off and shows signs of power loss. After much investigation, these G37s have a minor defect that causes the engines to run on low oil pressure. The part �gallery gasket� is the culprit that causes these engines to, in bad cases, last only up to 100k miles. Everywhere online there are Infiniti owners talking about this gallery gasket problem and few of them have had to buy a replacement engine because of it. Infiniti has failed to come forward with a solution to reduce the amount of oil related problems in these cars. As mentioned, this is a minor defect with the vq37 engines but with an outcome that can cost thousands of dollars to either fix or replace. A simple google search of �g37 gallery gasket� will bring many pages of owners with the exact same problem trying to give each other advice. There are many videos online showing what an owner must go through in order to fix their daily drivers. It would only be right for Infiniti to come forward and offer at least free labor to fixing these cars when the symptoms first start. That way owners can keep driving without worrying that their engines will go out due to a bad gallery gasket. The G37 is very reliable in all other aspects besides the gallery gasket. Owners can only hope that the proper steps are taken in order to avoid the problems the gallery gasket brings.

Around 6am on 4/13/19 me and my family and neighbors were awoken by an explosion in the front end of my vehicle. . We called the fire dept and they ruled it as an electrical problem. . I noticed that all the sensor lights in the dash would blink and the airbag sensor light was going off that evening prior to the incident. . I didnt think much of it. . I was planning on taking it to a mechanic that morning but it caught on fire. . Its a total loss. The fire fighters had to cut the hood open in half to get to the fire in the engine compartment. . Its not fair. . I had just bought that car. . And I loved my infinity. . Luckily I wasnt injured or anyone else. The vehicle was parked in the street. . I need my car for work , school and on a regular basis. Please help me.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2016

I have experience two occasions during stop and go traffic where the engine will rev up and accelerate. On those occasions I had to press the brakes hard to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I also changed gears to neutral. During both times I was in stop and go traffic moving forward. . . Not turning. I also tried using the cruise control. Was traveling in a toll road in motion. Had difficult setting once cruise control was on. . . It mysteriously shut off. This was not weather related as it was a hot clear day and I was traveling the speed limit of 80.

4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2012

Infiniti G37, after warm usually more then 30min of driving will intermittently go into low and high acceleration on its own. As if you are braking with your left foot and then giving it gas on and off with right foot. My wife has also described complete loss of power when the condition occurs and she tries to accelerate. She feels it could be a dangerous combination if it happens at the wrong time. We did schedule for a service appointment and hope this will help others with similar condition.

6 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2012

This has been happening on multiple occasions. Whenever I am driving and I try to stop, sometimes the engine increases while braking. It has happened about 4 times near a stop sign when I am driving 20mph, and in the highway driving 55-60mph. This is a serious issue and can cause an accident. I am taking it to the dealership on Wednesday so they can either issue a lemon or fix the issue. I am very unhappy with this problem. I searched online and some people have been having the same issue and dealers telling them "there is nothing wrong".
