Vehicle has hesitation during acceleration, it lags and transmission is unresponsive most of the times. There are other times that the vehicles transmission will downshift and rev up while coasting down hill while foot is off accelerator. Vehicle only has 59k miles on it and should not be having this issue. It's like the transmission just doesn't know what gear it should be in. Infiniti needs to fix a clear design problem!

The car hestitates, jerks, revs at low speed, rough idling, and slow acceleration. I replaced the maf sensor b 4 months ago after my car engine ligth came on while on the highway and I couldnt accelerate pass 30 miles per hour.I had to pray and drive to the nearest place for them to fix it.

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.

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.

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

Traveling on i95, minimally slippery conditions (snow), car suddenly starts hesitating/jerking. Unable to accelerate past 44-45 MPH, 2400 RPM. Had to move from the far left lane across 4 lanes shoulder. Apparently vehicle entered "failsafe" mode. Took to dealer later in the day, at which point the vehicle worked normally. Dealer (jba infiniti) said "carbon buildup." no other defects found. Charged approximately $325. One or two weeks later, the same thing happened. Problem obviously computer issue. This is dangerous, similar to gm incidents when problem occurs on high-speed roadway without warning.
