Common problems with the 2008 G37
NHTSA's file holds 66 owner complaints on the 2008 INFINITI G37. Owners named the airbags most often: 21 complaints, and half of the 10 that list a mileage came after 75,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Bags | 21 | 10 | 76,000 |
| Electrical System | 13 | 10 | 58,500 |
| Power Train | 11 | 11 | 37,000 |
| Structure | 9 | 6 | 65,314 |
| Vehicle Speed Control | 9 | 9 | 37,000 |
Of the 66 complaints, 2 report a crash, 3 report a fire and none reports an injury. These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2008 G37
The 48 mileages owners gave run from 500 to 150,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 32,000 miles, half at or under 52,000, three quarters at or under 75,000 and nine in ten at or under 125,000; 7 (15%) came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2008 G37 wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: 41 of the 48 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2008 G37 can cover.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lowest mileage listed | 500 miles |
| 25th percentile | 32,000 miles |
| Median (50th percentile) | 52,000 miles |
| 75th percentile | 75,000 miles |
| 90th percentile | 125,000 miles |
| Highest mileage listed | 150,000 miles |
| Complaints after 100,000 miles | 7 (15%) |
| Complaints after 150,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 200,000 miles | none |

Is the 2008 G37 a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2008 is a good or a bad G37: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2008 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 66 complaints, the 2008 ranks 4th of the 6 INFINITI G37 model years from 2008 to 2013 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2009 (167). The fewest: the 2012 and 2013 (63 each).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2008 G37 lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2008 G37.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 18 of the 66 complaints on the 2008 INFINITI G37 give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: G37. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: G37.
