HERE IS A COPY OF A BLOG. I HAVE BOUGHT 6 BATTERY'S IN 4 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH THE FAMILY LATE AT NIGHT PAID FOR MANY TOW TRUCKS. TAKEN MY CAR TO INFINITY DEALERS WITH NO SUCCESS. PLEASE READ THIS BLOG.. HTTPS://X.INFINITIHELP.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP/2011-M37X-BATTERY-PROBLEMSI-7942.HTML 4 PAGES OF PEOLPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THERE INFINITI. I AM TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A 1200 MODULE THAT MAYBE WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT ANYONE WOULD NOTICE IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE YOU THINK THE BATTERY IS AT FAULT. INFINITI FIX THE ISSUE IN 2014 BUT DID NOT DO A RECALL ON PRIOR M37/56.
