I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT MY CAR IS TAKING A VERY LONG TIME TO SPEED UP WHEN I'M STEPPING ON THE GAS. THE CAR JERKS AS WELL IT IS VERY UNSAFE. I WAS TRYING TO PASS THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT WHEN I NOTICE THE CAR IS MAKING A REALLY LOUD SOUND LIKE IM DRIVING FAST BUT THE CAR WAS NOT GOING PASS 20 MILES.

THE LEATHER ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL IS CRACKED. IT BEGAN CRACKING TWO YEARS AGO AND IS GETTING WORST. LEATHER SHOULD NOT CRACK AT 5 YEARS. INFINITI MATERIALS SHOULD BE TOP OF THE LINE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THE CRACKED LEATHER ON MY DOOR PANEL. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED.

WHEN YOU START THE CAR STALLS. AND HESITATES. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I WENT TO GET IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR HESITATED AND ALMOST GOT ME HIT. IT APPEARS THAT ALL OVER THE BLOGS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THEY TRY TO CORRECT WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT TO NO AVAIL.

THERE MUST BE SOME DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FAULTS. INFINITY SHOULD PROVIDE ANSWERS AND TAKE REMEDIAL ACTIONS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN THE M37'S ARE REALLY BAD. THE 7 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FIGURING WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO.

THE TRANSMISSION IN THE M37'S ARE REALLY BAD. THE 7 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FIGURING WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING ONTO AN OFF RAMP OR EVEN AFTER A RED LIGHT THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. IT GOES THREW THE FIRST 3 GEARS WAY TO FAST AND SLOWS YOU DOWN TREMENDOUSLY. YOU COULD BE KILLED TRYING TO GET ON AN INTERSTATE BECAUSE THE CAR JUST WONT GO UNLESS YOU MASH THE PEDAL. WHEN YOU ARE CLIMBING A HILL AT 30 MILES AN HOUR, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE IN 6TH OR 7TH GEAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE, THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINT FROM CONSUMERS THAT OWN A 2011 2012 M37. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS INFINITI! THANKYOU *TR
