A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
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
Cpsc:I1510382a. 2001 infiniti m37. Consumer stated a problem with the rear window controls on the drivers master assembly. The consumer stated two pieces of the fascia peeled away from the buttons, which created sharp edges that cut through the his skin, which resulted in lacerations.
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.
The transmission in the m37's are really bad. The 7 speed transmission has a very difficult time figuring what gear to go into. When you are accelerating onto an off ramp or even after a red light there is a major delay because the transmission can't figure out what gear to go into. It goes threw the first 3 gears way to fast and slows you down tremendously. You could be killed trying to get on an interstate because the car just wont go unless you mash the pedal.
