I have noticed problems on multiple occasions with my m37 not accelerating when I hit the gas. While getting over into another lane to pass a vehicle my car stalled for a few seconds while trying to accelerate and I was almost rear ended by another car. Two months ago I went to accelerate on the freeway and the engine just revved up until I took my foot off the gas. My mom was in the car and she agreed that this is not normal! On two occasions I have also noticed while coming to a stop my car would jump forward but thought it was me until I saw other posts regarding this. And yes I have discussed this with our infiniti dealer and they can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I have driven many cars and have never experienced issues like these.

What 2011 Infiniti M owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
2011 infiniti m37x. Consumer writes in regards to air bag light illuminating. *tgw the consumer stated with the light being on, there is no protection for the passenger. The light stayed on during various trips, for five minutes, three minutes and 13 minutes. When the consumer shut the vehicle off and started it again, the light illuminated and then went out. Within a couple of minutes, the light came back on and stayed on for 11 minutes.
I have concerning issues with the transmission of this vehicle since purchase 8/27/2010. The transmission has major hesitation when accelerating, slowing down and with everday use(jerky feeling in city traffic) no matter what drive mode is used I.e sport, normal, eco, snow modes. Whether you pull out to pass on the freeway or,pass bicycle on a narrow 2 lane road, at residential speeds, the transmission hesitates dramatically(2-5 seconds),actually to the point I don't feel safe with this vehicle. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer 4+ times to address this issue,contacted infiniti consumer affairs, and was told by all, that it was "normal" operation.... Which it is not!!!
Sunvisor does not fold back far enough blocking tall driver's view of road. Left edge of sunvisor hits edge of trim preventing proper adjustment. Note that 2012 visors have been slightly redesigned and work properly.
