2011 Infiniti M37 problems
The Infiniti M is a line of mid-size luxury (executive) cars from the Infiniti luxury division of Nissan. From 2013 (model year 2014) on it has been marketed as the Infiniti Q70, reflecting the company's new naming scheme.
The first iteration was the M30 Coupé/Convertible, which were rebadged JDM Nissan Leopard. After a long hiatus, the M nameplate was used for Infiniti's mid-luxury sedans (executive cars). First was the short-lived M45 sedan, a rebadged version of the Japanese-spec Nissan Gloria. The next generations, the M35/45 and M37/56/35h/30d, became the flagship of the Infiniti brand and are based on the JDM Nissan Fuga.
First generation (1989–1992)
The Infiniti M30 was a 2-door coupé based on the Japanese market Nissan Leopard (chassis code F31). It was launched in 1989 for the 1990 model year as a luxury coupe alternative to the Infiniti Q45, and was intended to be an alternative to the Lexus SC and Acura Legend coupe for the North American market.
Unlike its competitors that were designed with the American market in mind and were launched as brand-new models, the M30 was based on a somewhat dated platform that was originally designed for the Japanese market; when the Leopard was imported to the United States, few changes were made to the exterior but the interior was revised to better suit American tastes; a leather interior was standard in the M30, and several features in the Leopard such as a center-mounted television screen and a digital instrument cluster weren't available in the M30 as those features were perceived as gimmicks in western car markets.
The M30's angular design aesthetics and on-road performance were viewed as outdated, especially considering a redesigned Acura Legend coupe was launched in 1991. The interior came in for criticism for its outdated ergonomics and lack of room. While the Japanese-market Leopard had received a new dashboard along with the 1988 facelift, economics precluded making a left-hand-drive version of the new dashboard and the M30 was instead fitted with the LHD version of the R31 Skyline's rectilinear dashboard, first presented in 1985.
The M30 made up for these deficiencies in its somewhat lower price; whereas the 1990 Acura Legend coupe started at $27,325 before options and the 1990 BMW 325i started at $24,650 before options, the M30 started at $23,500, and had no factory options, per Infiniti's pricing structure used at the time. Dealerships offered an in-car cellular telephone and in-dash CD player as optional accessories, amongst other items.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-09-10
- VIN: JN1BY1AP5BM
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The Air Bag Warning Light on the dash blinks continuously and the Front Passenger Air Bag Status Light remains on whether or not the seat is occupied. I took the car to the Infiniti dealer. The Service Advisor said the Occupant Classification System Control Unit or OCS sensor needs to be replaced but Infiniti no longer provides this part; and furthermore, Infiniti advises against owner replacing the unit with a used part. I asked the Service Adviser what solution does Infiniti suggest and he said Infiniti does not suggest any solution. I contacted Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department. The Infiniti representative said the vehicle is more than 10 years old and Infiniti no longer manufactures the part; therefore, there is nothing they can do. I then asked the Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department what will happen in a situation where the airbags would normally be deployed considering the airbag warning light continues to blink and the “PASS AIR BAG” “2 OFF” is lit? I was told to ask to contact the dealer for their response. I wanted a response from Infiniti proper, the manufacturer, so I asked again. And again they said to contact the dealer. The dealer said all the airbags would be deployed at the same time and that there was no safety issue. Quoting from an Infiniti Service Bulletin Owner's Letter in the past: "If the red air bag warning light in your vehicle continuously flashes after the vehicle is started, please take your vehicle to the dealership as soon as possible. In the interim do not allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat. If the dealer fails, or is unable to make the necessary repairs free of charge, you may contact the National Consumer Affairs Department, Infiniti Division, Nissan North America, Inc., P.O. Box 685003, Franklin, TN 37068-5003. The toll free number is 1-800-662-6200. You may also contact the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration..." Infiniti admitted this is a safety issue.

- VIN: JN1BY1AR0BM
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: VEHICLE HAS HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION, IT LAGS AND TRANSMISSION IS UNRESPONSIVE MOST OF THE TIMES. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES THAT THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT AND REV UP WHILE COASTING DOWN HILL WHILE FOOT IS OFF ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 59K MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. INFINITI NEEDS TO FIX A CLEAR DESIGN PROBLEM!

STEERING PROBLEM

- VIN: JN1BY1ARXBM
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: I'D LIKE TO REPORT A PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH MY 2011 INFINITI M37 WHICH SEEMS TO BE PRETTY FATAL. THE PLASTIC COVER THAT COVERS THE STEERING WHEEL'S ROD CRACKS OPEN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED TO A LOWER POSITION. ONCE THE COVER IS CRACKED, STEERING WHEEL RUBS ON TO THE PLASTIC BEHIND IT AND MAKES THE STEERING WHEEL NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IF SOMEONE FACED THIS ISSUE BY CHANGING THEIR STEERING WHEEL POSITION WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL SURELY LEAD TO A FATAL ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL ACCORDING TO THE FORUM LINK ATTACHED: HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/STEERING-WHEEL-RUBBING-PLASTIC-HOUSING-T609452.HTML I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT INFINITI REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE ANSWER I RECEIVED WAS THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THAT PART OF THE VEHICLE IS BARELY USED NOR TOUCHED WHICH MAKES THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT NO ONE WANTS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
STEERING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-04-23

MY 4WAS MOTOR HAS GONE BAD! INFINITI DEALERSHIP, CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE MOTOR, TO GO BAD. ALL OF THE CAR'S SAFETY FEATURES, ARE CONNECTED TO THIS 4WAS MOTOR. SO, WHEN THAT 4WAS LIGHT COMES ON, ALL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES ARE TURNED OFF. THIS INCLUDES: INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL, 4WAS, BLIND SPOT DETECTION, LANE DEPARTURE, STABILITY CONTROL, AND SPORT MODE! THE COST IS $8500! I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2011.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-09-01
- VIN: JN1BY1AP7BM
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: INFINITI USES POOR QUALITY LEATHER AND VINYL IN THE INTERIOR OF THEIR CARS. THE LEATHER AND VINYL ON MY DOOR PANEL, CENTER CONSOLE, AND SEAT HAVE CRACKED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. CONSIDERING THAT INFINITI IS A LUXURY AUTO MANUFACTURER, THE INTERIOR QUALITY IS APPAUDING. THIS WILL BE THE LAST INFINITI THAT I PURCHASE.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-06-01
- VIN: JN1BY1AP7BM
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: THE LEATHER AND VINYL THAT IS INSTALLED ON THE INTERIOR COMPONENTS OF THE CAR ARE VERY POOR QUALITY. MY SEATS, DOOR PANEL, AND CENTER CONSOLE ARE CRACKING. THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR LOOKS TERRIBLE. CONSIDERING THAT INFINITI IS A LEISURE LINE AUTOMOBILE, IT IS APPALLING THAT THEY WOULD CUT CORNERS ON THE CAR'S INTERIOR BY USING SUCH LOW QUALITY MATERIALS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER INFINITI.
STEERING,SUSPENSION,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-12-25
- VIN: JN1BY1AP6BM
- Components: STEERING,SUSPENSION,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

THE REAR OF THE CAR IS VERY UNSTABLE, SWAYS, JERKS AND STEERING WHEEL IS OFF-CENTER.THE STEERING WHEEL IS NEVER CENTERED AND DRIFTS IN ONE DIRECTION WITH A NEW ALIGNMNET. INFINITI HAS RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE HICAS ACTUATOR. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR INFINITI OWNERS AND ARE THEN RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE 4WAS CONTROL BOX. REPLACING THE CONTROL BOX ALSO DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE READ AND JOINED A NISSAN/INFINITI FORUM WHERE OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM HAVE FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE NISSAN AND INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND STILL HAVE THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. I CONTACTED INFINITI CORPORATE OFFICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, BUT WAS INFORMED THEY DO NOT TRACK THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION. THE 4WAS AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO BOTH NISSAN AND INFINITI MODELS AND THROUGHOUT VARIOUS YEARS. THE CONCERN IS THAT INFINITI'S RECOMMENDATION IT TO REPLACE THE HICAS ACTUATOR AND SPEND $6K (PART COST $5,500 AND LABOR $400, BUT THAT DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND, INFINITI IS NOT ACCURATELY DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN I NEAR CATASTRAFIC INCIDENTS DUE TO THIS WIDE SPREAD INFINITI SPORT OWNERS ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-02-17
- VIN: JN1BY1AP4BM
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE INFINITI M37 SPORT HESITATES AND STRUGGLES TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. EVEN UPON SOFT ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN THE FIRST 3 GEARS BEFORE REACHING 20MPH AND ALL BETWEEN 1500-2000RPM. THIS CAN CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS A MULTI-LANE, DIVIDED ROAD--ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP. THE CAR SIMPLY WON'T ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH. SAME IS TRUE WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. THE CAR SIMPLY DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE POWER FOR ACCELERATION. FOR A "SPORT" SEDAN, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. *TR

- Summary: WE OWN A 2011 INFINITY M37X THAT WE FEEL IS UNSAFE BECAUSE OF A STEERING DEFECT. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY VEERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE UNLESS THE ROAD TRAVELLED IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITHOUT ANY IMPERFECTIONS. WE HAVE TO MAKE CONTINUAL COURSE CORRECTIONS AND IT IS VERY EASY TO OVERCOMPENSATE THE STEERING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO VEERING OFF THE ROAD ESPECIALLY IF THE ROAD IS A NARROW TRACK/COUNTRY ROAD. WHEN YOU ADD ICE RUTS, OR SNOW, OR LIGHTLY RUTTED ROADWAYS THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL MAKING IT UNSAFE. *TR
Negative 2011 Infiniti M37 car reviews
Positive 2011 Infiniti M37 car reviews

If you're an iPod user with current software (4.0 and higher), syncing it might not be possible at the moment. Unfortunately, Infiniti seems to be having some trouble with this and corporate customer service hasn't been able to provide a solution yet. It's definitely disappointing and frustrating. (I'm assuming the same might be true for iPhones.)
-
This car is outstanding! You made a great choice with the m37 and the sport package and premium package. The fun to drive factor is super high and the paddle shifters work great with downshift rev matching. I love the look and the interior fit and finish is gorgeous. Plus, the blue tooth phone and music streaming with your iPhone 4 work flawlessly and perfectly.
-
This is our 4th Infiniti and I think it will be the best one, yet! Handling is great and it is fun to drive. We are enjoying the music box and, of course, the Bose system. It looks like it has better MPG than the M35.
-
Hey there! I just wanted to share my thoughts on the M37 with you. In my opinion, the Sport package really takes this car to the next level. Not only does it still provide a smooth ride and absorb bumps well, but it also handles like a dream compared to the base model. The interior materials are top-notch, with soft and supple leather that feels luxurious. And when you need to accelerate, this car definitely delivers. Plus, the sleek and sexy styling is just the cherry on top. Overall, I'd say this car is definitely luxury first and sporty second.

I recently purchased a new M37x in slate blue with a Java interior, complete with all three option packages (premium, tech, and deluxe touring) as well as a few dealer options. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this car and find it to be a significant improvement over my old 2006 M35x. In comparison to a 5 series BMW, the M offers more value for your money. The exterior design is beautiful and boasts a more aggressive stance than my old M. The interior design, materials, and craftsmanship are all gorgeous and outstanding. The 6 cylinder 3.7L engine is smooth yet very responsive, providing a nice upgrade from my old M. The car handles perfectly, just like my prior M, but with a much quieter cabin. The Bluetooth phone system is much better, and the Bose audio is stellar, not much different from my 2006 M. The many new tech features are a welcome addition.

Are you having problems with your 2011 Infiniti M37?
Kip Conn 2025-01-01
Hello! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my M37S. While I had a mostly positive 7-month review, my opinion has changed after a year of ownership and mileage under 5K. Unfortunately, when the vehicle was delivered in August 2010, all 4 rims had black stains that the dealer couldn't remove. They ended up replacing all 4 rims, but in July 2011, 2 rims were showing the same staining and had to be replaced again. Additionally, I began experiencing ABS/TRAC warning lights and a creaking in the brake pedal in July 2011, which required a Master Brake Cylinder replacement. On top of that, the rear sunshade is stuck in the upright position with the motor running while driving, and despite 3 dealer visits, there's still no fix. I've contacted Infiniti Consumer Affairs and am looking into early lease termination. Thank you for listening to my experience.
Eliseo Johns 2024-01-01
Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with the car. While it's been great overall, I have noticed some issues with acceleration and braking. Specifically, the engine seems to stall when I try to pass someone and pulls back too hard when I brake. I was a bit surprised by this, especially considering the price of the car. Thanks for listening!
