I'd like to report a problem that has occurred with my 2012 Infiniti M37 which seems to be pretty fatal. The plastic cover that covers the steering wheel's rod cracks open when the steering wheel is tilted to a lower position.

9/25/2012-I am having some severe issues with the brakes on the M37. Yesterday I just avoided an accident with the back end of a ups truck as the car would not stop. This is the third time that something like this has happened with the brakes.

Total lack of acceleration when passing. There is a 2-3 second delay prior to the downshift and I'm never sure when the acceleration will take place. This problem occurs from 50MPH and up.
