Infiniti G37: Years to Avoid and Best Years (Engine & Transmission)
Infiniti G37 problems by model year, from 303 owner complaints filed with NHTSA. For each year: the share of complaints about the engine, transmission or fuel system, how many there were, and the recalls.
No Infiniti G37 year we score has an elevated engine or transmission signal. The highest is the 2012 at 31%, under the 33% line.
Best years on this measure: 2013 (22%), 2011 (26%) and 2010 (27%). A low share means owners complained about other things more than the drivetrain, not that nothing ever fails.
By raw volume, the 2010 drew the most drivetrain complaints (12 of 39 across the scored years). Volume also tracks how many were sold and how long they have been on the road, which is why the share, not the count, sets the verdict.
Engine and transmission complaint share, 2010–2023
Share of relevant owner complaints about the engine, transmission or fuel system. 33% is elevated, 40% high, 60% very high. A dash means too few complaints to score.
