2011 Infiniti G37 body problems

Filed Nov 24, 2024 · Body · CA

The sunroof’s drain ports clogging up is a known common issue to Infiniti dealers, as I have learned while taking my car in after the entire dashboard & electronics shorted out. The mechanic told me this is a common occurrence during the rainy season. Water may intrude the body through the clogged ports and the first location the water goes, happens to be the lower passenger side which ALSO happens to be the location of the body control module (BCM). The car has stopped operating on me in the middle of driving, and also wouldn’t allow me to get out of the gear I was in. What could be a $50 - $150 repair turns into a $2500 - $2800 repair.

Sunroof faulty. I've had car less than 3 years. I work from home and keep car under a carport. After a downpour of rain when I was out of town the interior front sides and floor were soaked. I wash the car myself with hose because drive thru washes will have water come in thru side of front n back sides of the interior. Whe n I got the car th flooring was already lifted on driver n passenger front sides. The previous owner kept car garaged but apparentlythe car had sunroof drain issuesbeforei ownedit. . Thanks

Fog lights have what appear to be burn marks on the inside of the lens. This problem appeared when stuck in traffic after about 1 hour. Next, the dashboard seems to have actually melted and become extremely sticky and has also started to crack. Finally, whenever it rains, water leaks into the cabin on the passenger side. I looked at what I could and the sunroof drain hose appears to be intact as far down as I could track it. The last two issues are a major problem especially since we live in florida.

Dashboard material appears as if it is melting, oozing out very sticky unknown substance (toxic?) that creates very shiny surface. For a car of its age, still has that new smell as if from out gassing. The shiny surface reflects light to the windshield obscuring a clear view through it, blocking ability to see objects, especially under certain conditions of light source and background. There have been similar complaints by many. There is settled class action suit for nissan's altima model, applicable only in florida. But the problem is not unique to this model or location. It is hot and humid also here in the dallas area. Appears not just result of sensitivity to uv, but heat and humidity. This vehicle spends most all its time in a garage environment (no HVAC) with few miles. Others have also made this point. The stage it is in now is that it reabsorbs the sticky material as temperature drops below about 88deg f. Therefore I currently do not have picture. Hope I will have ability to add to this report later with a picture. I realize degradation will continue at elevated temperatures, so currently I am trying to keep garage cooler by ventilating to avoid condition from returning. Dealership avoids complaint by saying will return call, but never does.

The infinity dashboard melts causing the release of dangerous fumes, causing the dash to also crack. My car was in a garage and parked for several hours when the cracked dash occurred, but must have melted when driving it during the day.

This is a hardtop convertible car whose roof folds into the trunk space when the top is down. Unlike a previous hardtop convertible I owned (volkswagen eos), the roof on the infiniti goes down even when there is an obstruction in the trunk space (such as a book). [the roof of the eos would not go down until the obstruction was removed]. This has happened twice with the infiniti, causing thousands of dollars of damage to my car. My concern is that if a child were to climb into the trunk (god forbid) and the top were to be engaged, there would be nothing to stop the roof from crushing the child. This seems like a serious safety shortcoming. I called infiniti motors and expressed my concern; they created a file and basically said there was nothing they could do.
