“I understand the cars symptoms are the same described in Infiniti's itb07048 bulletin (sudden acceleration), I was told the fix is free in the us but Infiniti in puerto rico wants to charge for this safety issue fix. I understand puerto rico has the same regulations as in the us when transit is referred to. Why is it not a recall?”

NHTSA complaint #10455574, filed 2012-04, 32,000 miles

“2008 Infiniti g37s with a 5 speed automatic transmission with 41,000 miles - I was entering the freeway going about 55 MPH and there was an 18 wheeler in front of me having a hard time picking up speed. Before passing, I tapped my brake, downshifted from 4th to 3rd gear with my left paddle shifter near the steering wheel and proceeded to get in the lane to the left of the merging lane onto the freeway. I was halfway in the lane and hit the gas but there was no response for 3-5 seconds. …”

“While stopped behind another vehicle, the car's engine revved continuously, and I had to press the brakes harder, lest hit the vehicle in front. I switched the automatic transmission into neutral until the traffic moved again.”

NHTSA complaint #10336731, filed 2010-06, 26,000 miles

“I was driving down the road and noticed the clutch wasn't feeling normal. As I shifted into 3rd gear, the clutch pedal stuck to the floor and wouldn't spring back. I tried pumping on it, then managed to get my foot underneath it to pull it up and then down shift. When I depressed the clutch again and attempted to shift into 2nd gear, the clutch stuck again and I was stuck in 3rd. I finally eased on the brakes and had to intentionally stall my car. I was lucky to have been on slow moving, lightly used road, or else this could have caused an accident. …”

NHTSA complaint #10484968, filed 2012-11, 54,040 miles

“My vehicle's clutch completely lost its hydraulic capability and left my vehicle stranded in ongoing traffic. Me and a few volunteers were able to push my vehicle in neutral mode to the side of the road, however this could be warranted as a big safety concern if it is common occurrence for this make, model, and year. I had my vehicle towed the next day to an auto shop and they determined the clutch and slave cylinder were both faulty. Though wear and tear may be common for this part, after doing research on online forums this seems to be a common issue with Infiniti G37's.”
