general problems of the 2008 Infiniti G37

Ten problems related to power train have been reported for the 2008 Infiniti G37. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2019

After 60k miles, the car has difficulty shifting in reverse. Once in reverse, the car doesn't roll back and it remains idle as if left in park. A foreign transmission repair shop owner said that this issue is not user error, and that Nissan/Infiniti have not been having ongoing trans issues with many of their models, but refuse to claim responsibility for most. Nissan/Infiniti USA will easily goad customers into paying $8k to install a new trans, however.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2018

Dashboard has become tacky and highly reflective causing a severe glare when the sun hits it. Vehicle surges while coming to a stop. Enough to hit something if you do not have the brake pedal pressed abnormally hard.

3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2014

Driving the car in parking lot at work, placed car in reverse as the clutch was being released the car stalled out and shut off. The clutch bottomed out to the floor board and remained there. Car was unable to be driven. Was towed to auto shop to find out the slave cylinder requires to be changed.

4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2013

My vehicle's clutch completely lost its hydraulic capability and left my vehicle stranded in ongoing traffic. Me and a few volunteers were able to push my vehicle in neutral mode to the side of the road, however this could be warranted as a big safety concern if it is common occurrence for this make, model, and year. I had my vehicle towed the next day to an auto shop and they determined the clutch and slave cylinder were both faulty. Though wear and tear may be common for this part, after doing research on online forums this seems to be a common issue with Infiniti G37's.

5 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2012

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 the car does finally respond, it slams into gear unexpectedly and is sometimes hard to control. Please help us to resolve this issue or somebody will eventually get hurt if they already haven't. I have spoken to numerous Infiniti owners and it seems that this is happening to them as well but only the same year as my car, 2008, and only the automatic transmissions.

6 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/14/2012

I understand the cars symptoms are the same described in Infiniti's itb07048 bulletin (sudden acceleration), I was told the fix is free in the us but Infiniti in puerto rico wants to charge for this safety issue fix. I understand puerto rico has the same regulations as in the us when transit is referred to. Why is it not a recall?.

7 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2010

When accelerating from a stop or at speed, the car hesitates/stalls then accelerates rapidly. This has happened 7 times in the last few months. Infiniti could not duplicate the issue 1 time and said there is no problem.

8 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2010

While stopped behind another vehicle, the car's engine revved continuously, and I had to press the brakes harder, lest hit the vehicle in front. I switched the automatic transmission into neutral until the traffic moved again.
