2013 Infiniti G37
This year drew an ordinary 63 complaints for a Infiniti G37 — the model's median is 66. What they were about is the unusual part: 11.1% of them mention leaking, against 3% across the model's other years.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- leaking — 11.1% of this year's complaints, against 3% across the model's other years (3.7×). Owners wrote it as: leaking, carpet, completely wet, routine.
- forums — 7.9% of this year's complaints, against 2% across the model's other years (3.9×).
- stationary — 7.9% of this year's complaints, against 2.6% across the model's other years (3×). Owners wrote it as: stationary, accelerator pedal, far, touching.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
During a routine oil check, mechanic stated that the steering rack was leaking. Upon replacement of the steering rack replacement, mechanic discovered that the steering pump was also leaking. No repairs could be done to either, rack or pump, and both steering…
THE WINDSHIELD IS LEAKING ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. WHENEVER THERE IS A HEAVY DOWN POUR OF RAIN MY CARPET IS COMPLETELY WET. IT HAPPENS IF I'M STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Infiniti G37 was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
