2013 INFINITI G37 Electrical System Problems

Immediately when I started driving, the sensors on my dashboard started lighting up. First the air pressure sensor, then the Tire serve sensor, and finally the key sensor. My turn signals were malfunctioning. They would go on and off without me triggering them. Then every time I came to a stop and accelerated again, my car would jerk back. I eventually pulled over and my car wouldn’t even turn off. I had to put the key fob in the key slot to get the car to turn off. Then, the car would not start back up. I had to have the car towed to the Dealership. When I arrived at the Dealership, they told me that there were two other cars there having similar issues caused by rain water getting into the electrical. Here is the diagnosis they gave me: UPON INSPECTION AND SITTING IN VEHICLE CAN SMELL AND FEEL DAMPNESS FROM CARPET. FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND WATER FROM SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES LEAKING WATER INTO THE BODY CONTROL COMPUTER AND CAUSED ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT WITH INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM AND IGNITION SYSTEM. PERFORMED ELECTRICAL TEST AND TRACED SOURCE OF FAILURE TO THE BODY CONTROL UNIT. (THE BODY CONTROL MODULE CONTROLS KEYS, DOOR LOCKS, VEHICLE IGNITION START, AND TURN SIGNALS), AND VEHICLE LIGHTS). INSPECTION FOUND THERE IS A SHORT IN THE BODY CONTROL UNIT COMPUTER DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. REMOVED BODY CONTROL COMPUTER UNIT AND FOUND WATER INSIDE THE CONNECTOR PLUGS. BODY CONTROL MODULE COMPUTER SHORT CIRCUIT AND IS COMPROMISED. NEED TO REPLACE SUN ROOF DRAIN TUBES TO ELIMINATE WATER INTRUSION INTO THE CABIN AREA AND ALSO TO REPLACE BODY CONTROL UNIT COMPUTER. It’s highly unlikely that there would be 3 cars with similar issues at one dealership on any given day if this was NOT a manufacturers issue. Please help me get reimbursed and start a recall for this dangerous issue. Thank you

My vehicle fuel gauge reading recently started malfunctioning. It showed 1/8 tank and 40 miles left before I needed gas. The gas warning light came on. However within a minute, it showed 1/4 tank and 80 miles left before I ran out of gas. So I thought I was OK because I was on the freeway and I was getting better mileage, so I could travel further. I drove about 10 more miles and all of a sudden the warning light came on and said I only had about 2 miles of gas left. My car started sputtering and I ran out of gas on the freeway. I was VERY lucky I was able to coast (no power) onto the emergency shoulder. I called AAA to bring me gas. I felt very unsafe being on the side of the freeway in Los Angeles, cars were passing me at 70+ mph, and several cars swerved to avoid me, even with my emergency blinkers on. I thought it might have been a glitch that only happened once, so I have been very careful about filling my gas well before I think it needs it. But then it happened again the other day. My gauge showed 1/4 tank with about 75 miles left but then a few minutes later it showed 1/2 tank with around 150 miles left. I stopped for gas and it took nearly 15 gallons (it only holds 17 gallons). This is extremely dangerous, and many other G35/G37 owners have this problem. (I have seen the exact same issues with fuel gauge readings in Infiniti G37 forums). My cluster is working (I ran the cluster diagnostic and all gauges are functioning) so I believe it must be either the fuel sensor, the float arm or possibly an AC Amp (a part that controls all the information sent to the gauge cluster, found near the radio?) I also saw that Nissan/Infiniti had a recall almost identical to this. Recall 10V074000. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. Please advise if this can be investigated as a potential safety hazard and recall for my vehicle. Thank you!

Sunroof drain failure causing rain water from the outside of the vehicle to enter the interior flooding the passenger side going from the front seats to the back seats. Due to the sunroof drain defect, the flooding of the interior causes the water to get into the body control module impacting the electronics which can result in numerous failures in the vehicle making it dangerous to drive. There are numerous videos on YouTube and posts on online forums describing this very issue which is extremely common with the G37. Infiniti dealer confirms the issue, but takes absolutely no responsibility. The cost of the repairs to the sunroof drain and body control module are completely placed on the consumer.

AIR BAG SENSOR FAULT IN PASSENGER SEAT. AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, CAUSING AIRBAG TO BE INACTIVE FOR ALL OCCUPANTS OF PASSENGER SEAT. INFINITI DOES NOT OFFER A SENSIBLE FIX. THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT ($8000). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE CAR. I HAVE FOUND REPEATED EVIDENCE OF THIS OCCURING OFTEN THROUGH LOOKING AT FORUMS AND WEBSITES THAT OWN THIS MODEL AND YEAR.

I ALSO OWNED A G35 2008 INFINITI WITH THE SAME PROBLEM..THE DOORS LOCK AND I CAN NOT GET IN OR OUT. THE LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL. THE DOORS CAN NOT BE OPENED MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WHEN I WENT IN THE GYM FOR 1/2 HOUR AND WHEN I CAME OUT I COULD NOT ENTER THE CAR THE DOORS WERE LOCED AND WOULD NOT OPEN. AFTER A WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BACK SEAT DOOR OPEN. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR . ALL DOORS LOCKED. THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH THE WINDOW. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN,

IT STARTED WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT IN MY OFFICE BUILDING. WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AT AROUND 7-8 RPM MAKING A ROARING NOISE HEARD BY MANY WITNESSES. THIS RESULTED IN LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR WHICH THEN WENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE LOT INTO A STEEP DECLINE WHERE I HIT A TREE. IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT TREE THERE WAS ANOTHER 60-70 FT DROP INTO A CANYON THAT I INEVITABLY WOULD HAVE FALLEN INTO. YOU MIGHT SAY, "OH I MIGHT'VE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION INSTEAD OF THE BRAKES", BUT THERE WERE SKID MARKS LEFT ON THE GROUND THAT WOULD INDICATE I WAS ALREADY PRESSING THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP, WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. IN ADDITION, I WOULDN'T HAVE PRESSED THE BRAKES THAT HARD, SO EVEN IF I DID ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE ACCELERATION, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY THE CAR WOULD HIT 7-8 RPM WITHOUT VIRTUALLY FLOORING IT. THESE ARE HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS THAT I AM POSING TO SHOW THAT IT WAS NOT ACCIDENTAL ON MY PART, BUT A DEFECT WITHIN THE CAR. THIS CAR POSED A LIFE THREATENING INJURY THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR FUTURE CAR OWNERS TO KNOW AND TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SHARE THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO OWNS THIS MODEL CAR AND REPORT TO EVERY VEHICLE INSTITUTION YOU GUYS KNOW OF. THANK YOU. *TR

MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER (2013) INFINITI G37 ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY TURNED OFF. SHE TRIED TO RESTART IT WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS AND TURN ON HER HAZARD LIGHTS, BUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC SYSTEM HAD SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SHE WAS VERY SCARED BECAUSE CARS WERE HONKING AT HER AND AFTER FLAGGING DOWN A POLICE OFFICER (30 MINUTES LATER), THE CAR MYSTERIOUSLY TURNED BACK ON. WHEN SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DID A QUICK COMPUTER CHECK AND TOLD HER NOTHING WAS WRONG. AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH MY MOTHER TOLD THEM THAT SHE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET RECOUNTING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF INFINITI. WE ALSO REPORTED THIS TO THE INFINITI CUSTOMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. *TR
