2011 Infiniti G37
This year drew an ordinary 99 complaints for a Infiniti G37 — the model's median is 63. What they were about is the unusual part: 12.1% of them mention needs, against 4.8% across the model's other years.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

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
Passenger occupancy sensor failed while on a road trip. The dealer wanted $5000 to replace the whole seat.
When I start my car the seatbelt lights doesn't go out as it should. I had issue checked and mechanic found front occupant sensor defective and Sensor comes on with seat trac. Mechanic stated issue needs to be fixed because airbag won't deploy in an accident.…

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.
