curious if other g37 coupe owners gave a problem with the car drifting/pulling/twitching ..almost like when you hit an uneven or raised section of the road and it wanders all over the road..the dealer says this is normal for both this car and the M35/45 sedan.."built'" that way to feel the road...have 16,000 miles and everyone who drives it says the same thing..annoying as hell..love the car but this is driving me crazy...new tires?...alignment issues?....

No, not normal. I've had mine in for an alignment and it helped for a while but is getting bad again. I'm wondering if it's more due to the factory tires and tire wear than anything.

I thought the local Infiniti dealership had done something to my car to get rid of the pull a few months back but per the service order they stated the front tires were cupping which was causing the problem and suggested I look at getting some new front tires (which still have >50%+ tread left). I simply HATE Bridgestone tires at this point as every set I have had (this car and my 2k2 Maxima) sucked.

My 2008 G37S coupe does wander on uneven surfaces. I have to keep a tight hold on the steering wheel. It's OK as long as the road is even. The dealer suggested wheel alignment at the 15k service. No unusual tire wear at 20k miles. I suspect your problem is due to misalignment or abnormal tire wear.

There are different Bridgestone TiresThe Potenza RSA do suck and do not wear wellI'm on my third set of Bridgestone Turanza's and love them and the excellent mileage they provide. I rotate them every other oil changeDon't buy cheap tires Buy cheap, buy twice

when you are on uneven roads and the car starts to "wander" its due to the tires being low profile. I am not on stock 19"s but i still "wander"

as for the car twitching when i am turning, this no longer happens
