Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I leased my Infiniti M37 sport the first month it came out in 2010 (2011 model). The first day I drove the car the issues were apparent. I drove it directly back to the dealership, they said everything was fine..its learning your driving style..(I too have had mercedes, bmw, audi etc that learn your driving style) this was not the case. Well, now I am at 33,000 miles and the issues have only gotten worse. Its been to the dealer a number of times for the jumpy stops...when breaking (normal non aggressive) the tranny wants to jump forward and almost hit the person in front of me. …”
