2009 Infiniti G37

Our 2009 Infiniti G37x has developed the dreaded sticky dash issue. The materials in the dashboard have broken down, as a result the dashboard has become VERY reflective. It creates a heavy glare on the windshield both day and night which affects our ability to see out of the windshield. The glare makes it very difficult to see a night when street lights and headlights reflect off of the dash. Thankfully there has been no accidents caused by this issue, but this greatly increases the risk of accident when driving this vehicle. This is a common issue among all vehicles from 2009. I had a similar issue with my 2009 Toyota Camry, the dashboard on that vehicle was replaced under recall. Infiniti should be forced to replace the dashboards in these vehicles due to the safety risk they pose. There was a class action lawsuit for owners in Florida to remedy this issue. I attached several pictures of the glare in both day and night conditions. This problem can be easily seen when sitting in the vehicle.

FOR YEARS NOW MY INFINITI G37 DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING OBSTRUCTION TO MY VISIBILITY. TODAY ON MY WAY FROM WORK THE GLARE WAS SO BAD I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING AN ACCIDENT. THE REFLECTION CAN SOMETIMES MAKE IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT! NOTHING WORKS I TRIED CLEANING IT WITH A WET RAG AND NOTHING WORKS. INFINITI SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IT'S ABSURD HOW A 'LUXURY' COMPANY TENDS TO CUT CORNERS TO MAKE CHEAP DASHBOARDS.

STICKY DASH BOARD ISSUE. THE DASH BOARD MELTS IN THE SUN AND FEELS STICKY TO THE TOUCH. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN SEVERAL MODELS. IT HAPPENED WITH MY CURRENT G37 AND PRIOR 2007 G35 SEDAN THAT I OWNED. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. NEW DASHBOARD IS MADE OUT OF A DIFFERENT MATERIAL AND IS NO LONGER MELTING OR STICKING. INFINITI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT, NO ONE ELSE CAN BRING A LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NOV 2014 AND ONLY HAD 14,000 MILES.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLED (SHUTTERED, ACCELERATION LOST, FELT LIKE CHOKING) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ABOUT 50-60 MPH, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I NEEDED TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY AS THE CAR DECELERATED TO UNDER 30 WITHIN SECONDS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOON AFTER. SEARCHED "2009 INFINITI G37 ENGINE SPUTTERING" WITH HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR RESULTS, SOMEHOW INFINITI DEALERSHIPS WERE NEVER ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE DEFECT. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND INFINITI NEEDS TO START PLACING HUMAN LIVES OVER THEIR SALES.

I HAVE A 2009 INFINITI G37 WITH THE DASHBOARD ALL CRACKED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM AS WELL IN MY 2006 INFINITI M35. WHEN MY PREVIOUS INFINITI HAD THE WHOLE DASHBOARD CRACKED IT WAS A RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO INFINITI AND HAD IT REPLACED. I THOUGHT THE SAME WOULD HAPPEN FOR THIS ONE SINCE IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT I FIND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL. I BELIEVE IT HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE AIR BAGS CAUSING THE CRACKING ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED IN ALL INFINITI CARS AS THIS IS THEIR ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE CAR RPMS WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2500 RPMS. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO STALL. I HAVE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST TO A STOP FROM 70 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. MANY POSTS I'VE READ THAT INFINITI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT I HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION. THE ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND KNOW OF MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FROM POSTS ONLINE.
