“Technical service bulletin itb09-037 from Infiniti states overheating of the brakes can cause brake judder. They recommend installing a brake backing plate, resurfacing, or replacing the rotors. I took my car to my inifiniti dealer and the plate was installed. The front rotors were resurfaced, brake pads replaced, and I still had the brake judder. I took it back and they resurfaced the rear rotors and recommended balancing and rotating tires. I did this (at my own cost) and the brake judder is still present. The car had 15,000 miles when the problem occurred. …”
NHTSA complaint #10360617, filed 2010-10, 15,000 miles“2009 Infiniti g37x coupe is experiencing dangerous surges in acceleration upon braking, the transmission is jerking and going into fail safe mode (meaning suddenly the car is stuck in the highest gear), the rear differential is clunking and jerking as if the car is going into awd mode at times it should not be, and quite frankly I am now becoming scared of the car. It has 3800 miles on it. I took it into the dealership on friday and was told there are a couple of known issues with the transmission but no fix. They also are calling hq on monday to talk about it. …”

After taking foot off of brake pedal, vehicle lunged forward as if accelerator pedal was fully depressed. This has occurred on 12/9/12 , 12/10/12, 12/15/12. Infiniti has not corrected problem. This rapid acceleration / non-responsive braking has caused two (2) near miss accidents.”
