Infiniti G37 stalling problems

Filed Apr 22, 2023 · Electrical · NC

There is a leak on the driver side down the front A-pillar. Water runs over the electrical components, fuse box, BCM. I’ve researched on the internet and this is an extremely common problem. If this component gets wet, the car could shut off while driving. Maybe there is a danger with being electrocuted as well. This is a design flaw and potential safety issue in the 2012 Infiniti G37, and it’s happening fairly often as seen with similar issues from other owners. Do I have to worry about this with my two kids in the car? Why hasn’t this been addressed by the manufacturer with the commonality of the problem? I had a similar issue on the passenger side. However, I was not worried about safety as the electrical components are not on that side. There is not the same risk for electrocution or car stoppage while driving. Nonetheless, it is still an extremely common problem and failure of engineering on the manufacturers part. Now I am dealing with the same issue on the drivers side where the electrical components come into play.

My vehicle fuel gauge reading recently started malfunctioning. It showed 1/8 tank and 40 miles left before I needed gas. The gas warning light came on. However within a minute, it showed 1/4 tank and 80 miles left before I ran out of gas. So I thought I was OK because I was on the freeway and I was getting better mileage, so I could travel further. I drove about 10 more miles and all of a sudden the warning light came on and said I only had about 2 miles of gas left. My car started sputtering and I ran out of gas on the freeway. I was VERY lucky I was able to coast (no power) onto the emergency shoulder. I called AAA to bring me gas. I felt very unsafe being on the side of the freeway in Los Angeles, cars were passing me at 70+ mph, and several cars swerved to avoid me, even with my emergency blinkers on. I thought it might have been a glitch that only happened once, so I have been very careful about filling my gas well before I think it needs it. But then it happened again the other day. My gauge showed 1/4 tank with about 75 miles left but then a few minutes later it showed 1/2 tank with around 150 miles left. I stopped for gas and it took nearly 15 gallons (it only holds 17 gallons). This is extremely dangerous, and many other G35/G37 owners have this problem. (I have seen the exact same issues with fuel gauge readings in Infiniti G37 forums). My cluster is working (I ran the cluster diagnostic and all gauges are functioning) so I believe it must be either the fuel sensor, the float arm or possibly an AC Amp (a part that controls all the information sent to the gauge cluster, found near the radio?) I also saw that Nissan/Infiniti had a recall almost identical to this. Recall 10V074000. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. Please advise if this can be investigated as a potential safety hazard and recall for my vehicle. Thank you!

Two weeks after having my G37 serviced at the Las Vegas dealership the engine shut down while driving on the freeway at full speed. The car rapidly lost power and speed. The gas peddle was unresponsive and after decelerating, the car would only move forward at very slow speed. A major accident was avoided only through the quick actions of trailing traffic which had to slam on their brakes. After towing back to the dealership they reported the heater hose failed. Their vehicle inspection report provided to me two weeks early reported the heater hoses and connectors where inspected and did not require replacement. When I Questioned this they stated it was a plastic part within the heater hose that failed and they don't check that. I consulted the maintenance manual for the car and at now mileage or time point does infiniti recommend replacing the hose. I have had this car serviced at an Infinity dealership every 7,500 miles since bought new. At no time did they ever recommend replacing the hose. This may be more of a safety issue with Infiniti's service program than the car. But the car computers response to the condition also but driver safety at risk.

On June 4 I pulled into a drive to turn the car around and park. I stopped the car, put it into reverse, and pressed the gas pedal;. The car stalled and I pressed the gas pedal again with the regular force. Suddenly the car accelerated and I felt a jerk and heard a bang as it hit a car that was just backing out of the driveway cross from min. My car was going so quickly that the other driver commented on the speed it was going. My car incurred considerable damage, the rebar was damaged, and I took the car int "collision" for repair. At Collision, I was told by 2 people that Mini had a problem with acceleration. Priori to the accident, my car occasionally stalled when I was backing it out of the garage. I have since been told that this "stalling" or "stumbling" was a signal that there was a defect that could have been fixed.

After purchasing the vehicle used, I been experiencing issues with the vehicle. The service engine soon indicator has illuminated on the dashboard after two weeks of the purchase. I took the vehicle to valvoline for the oil change service, and the light was still illuminated. Notified my personal mechanic of the issue as well as the dealer. Took the vehicle to autozone and used their free diagnostic reader, which stated the o2 sensor for bank 2 sensor 1 as the issue. Purchased the part from the dealer, took it to the mechanic for service. After I paid for the service, the same day the service engine soon light illuminated again. The next day I took it back to autozone and the diagnostic read bank 1 sensor 1. Took it to multiple mechanics to only have the run around of paying them to look at but not fix the issue. Called the dealer I purchased it from, and they was supposed to set an appointment with their mechanic and did not. I had to reschedule the appointment on my own. Never took it because I went back to my mechanic and he supposedly fixed the sensor. Again, the same day of service the service engine soon light illuminated again, the car stalled very badly, and shut off on me. I was able to restart the engine, and drive it home. Not only am I making monthly payments on the vehicle, I'm paying for a vehicle that is a hazard on the road. I am putting money I don't have into a lemon, only having the vehicle for two months with a electrical and engine issue that I can not resolve on my own.

Vehicle's engine stalled (shuttered, acceleration lost, felt like choking) at highway speeds, about 50-60 MPH, creating a dangerous situation and I needed to pull over onto the shoulder immediately as the car decelerated to under 30 within seconds. The check engine light came on soon after. Searched "2009 infiniti g37 engine sputtering" with hundreds of similar results, somehow infiniti dealerships were never able to reproduce the defect. This car is extremely dangerous and infiniti needs to start placing human lives over their sales.

When driving at various speeds the car rpms will not go above 2500 rpms. As I was driving the car lost power and started to stall. I have had to put the car in neutral and coast to a stop from 70 MPH. This has happened now at least 15 times over the last two years. Many posts I've read that infiniti is aware of the issue but I have yet to find a solution. The issue is very dangerous and know of many others that have had this issue from posts online.

Without warning RPM's drop to about 2,000 and vehicle will not go over 30 MPH and just stalls with no option to break. Turning the car off for 30 seconds seems to reset the issue, but this very dangerous because it happens randomly. There is a tsb on this, but it should be recalled! It has happened several times and it's very scary and could result in a fata crash on the highway.
