The 2008 Infiniti G37 page works best as a research starting point. Complaint totals show how much owner-reported activity exists, while recalls and investigations help show whether any of that activity turned into formal safety action.
Because this is a newer-era vehicle page, it usually helps to compare this year against nearby model years before deciding whether a complaint pattern looks isolated or persistent. On this page, the most prominent complaint area is air bags with 12 reported complaints.
This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.
If you are researching a used vehicle, start with the complaint categories, compare them against the recall list, and then check nearby model years to see whether the same issue profile repeats. That usually produces a better buying or research signal than treating the raw complaint total as a standalone safety ranking.

LAST NIGHT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING, MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE.IT APPEARS IT STARTED WHERE THE SEAT WARMER BUTTON IS(ON THE CONSOLE). IT WAS A BIG ENOUGH FIRE TO REACH THE ROOF.
Air bag light indicator on dashboard continually flashes off and on…no reason for it to be doing so; i.e., the vehicle has had no impact to cause it to flash.
SRS Air Bag light continues to flash after the vehicle is running. This causes the passenger airbag to stay off even if a passenger is buckled in the seat.
