Known faults for Infiniti Infiniti G (G37)
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: INFINITI G37
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- VQ37VHR Rear Timing Cover Oil Gallery Gasket Rupture(Serious)
On pre-2013 VQ37VHR engines, the internal oil gallery gaskets located behind the front timing cover are made of a fragile paper composite. Over heat cycles, these gaskets degrade, tear, or blow out, bleeding high-pressure engine oil internally back into the oil pan before it reaches the upper valvetrain. This causes a dramatic drop in oil pressure to the Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) phasers and camshafts. If ignored, valvetrain oil starvation can cause catastrophic engine failure. Nissan later updated the part to a metal-reinforced gasket. Remediation requires an extensive front-engine teardown involving 12 to 15 hours of workshop labour to remove the front timing cover and fit updated metal gaskets.
- Heater Matrix Hose Plastic Connector Fracture(Serious)
The factory plastic heater hose coupler located against the passenger-side engine bay bulkhead degrades and becomes extremely brittle after repeated heat cycling. At higher mileages, the plastic fractures or shears completely under coolant system pressure, suddenly venting engine coolant onto the hot exhaust and ground. Because the coolant is lost within seconds, rapid engine overheating occurs. If the driver fails to shut down the engine immediately, cylinder head warping or head gasket failure can quickly follow. Replacing the fragile plastic connector with an aftermarket billet aluminium or brass barbed coupler is a standard preventative measure amongst UK specialists.
- HV36 Convertible Roof Mechanism Sensor and Seal Failure(Moderate)
On the G37 Convertible (HV36), the complex three-piece electro-hydraulic folding hardtop system is vulnerable to microswitch misalignment, hydraulic pump pressure loss, and weatherseal deterioration. Wear in the roof latching linkages or failed position sensors can cause the roof to stall halfway through its 25-second cycle. Furthermore, drying weatherstrips and clogged rear drainage tubes allow rainwater to seep past the C-pillar seals into the luggage compartment, soaking the boot floor carpet and short-circuiting the roof control module and the Bose audio amplifier located beneath the trim panels.
