Owners of the 2013 Infiniti G37 have filed 63 safety complaints with NHTSA between March 2014 and April 2026. The most complained-about system is the air bags, named in 36 of them (57%). The typical failure was reported at 40,890 miles, the median across the 39 complaints that gave an odometer reading.

No recall campaign was matched to this year, make and model. That is not the same as a clean vehicle: recalls are issued against production ranges, and the only reliable check is your own VIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 injured · crash · 30,000 miles

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

On August 6, 2025, I purchased a 2013 Infiniti G37 from Auto Quality Corp. The total amount paid was $4,700 with a pending balance of $1000. I was given the car turned on and was not present when the car was turned on. Upon leaving the dealership and arriving to my destination, I turned off the car. Once I was ready to get back on the road, the car failed to turn on again. The vehicle is failing to start and is now inoperable. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle due to the major concerns that are showing up. The vehicle is not functional. The car stopped working entirely within the same day of purchase, and I am now left with a non-operational vehicle. The odometer has discrepancies. The

2013 G37 with only 58K in miles. The passenger interior was flooded after some rainstorms.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
