“Infiniti needs to recall the timing chain galley gaskets. My 2009 g37xs sedan recently blew the galley gaskets and it seems as if this is a common problem and is a very expensive fix. Recall this issue please I always use 93 gas. Always use mobil 1 full synthetic oil, and always do all maintenance on the car on time. I'm shocked and aggravated that this issue happened and Infiniti did not recall it.”
NHTSA complaint #11243680, filed 2019-08, 117,000 miles“I was on the highway traveling about 60-65 MPH and a truck merged, I slowed then decided to pass as it was a larger type truck and slow to merge, when I stepped on the gas...nothing happened. The vehicle seemed to have gone into neutral like space and I had no gear and I was half in the passing lane. I have an automatic transmission. I took my foot off the gas and it finally appeared to catch, but I thought I was going to crash. …”

NHTSA complaint #10299726, filed 2010-01, 800 miles“On a cold snowy evening while driving on the highway at about 60mph the car began to violently shake, when I took my foot off the gas pedal the car stopped shaking, when I tried to accelerate the car again began to shake violently. Fortunately I was about 5 miles away from my destination and managed to drive about 25 on a highway. After I reached my destination I powered off the car and let it sit for about 5 minutes, then I powered it on again and tried to accelerate above 30mph which caused the car to shake again. …”
