What owners wrote

I was trying to accelerate from off an on ramp onto a highway and the car completely hesitated. The transmission took a good two seconds to accelerate and get into a safe position to pass, when I was struck from behind by a car in the slow lane. I have made a complaint before about this same issue and something needs to be done. I have already sent my car to the dealership and they reset the TCM, but it did nothing. Please get back to me at [xxx] or [xxx]. Thanks

My infiniti m37x hesitates on take off. When coming to a stop the transmission seem to be down shifting after coming to a stop. It shifts at random times throughout the driving cycle. This has been happening for a long time. I'm taking the car into the dealer this week to get the software updated. This is ridiculous infiniti. I'm hoping there's a permanent fix for this very soon.
