Did you hear the one about the 2011 M37 with 25K miles that drains the battery after sitting in the garage unused for a week?
Yes, after Infiniti replaced the battery, at their expense, less than a month ago, I am sitting at the computer waiting for the tow truck to give me a jump start or tow me to the dealer.
My auto club service free jump starts have been exhausted thanks to 4 jump starts because the previous OEM battery did not have "anything wrong with it" according to Roseville Infiniti.
My key fobs work just fine thank you. I did not leave anything on after my last use of the M37. Everything was off and I mean off.
My 2010 G37 Coupe never gave me one problem, not one!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY 2011 M37 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM?
Forum members please give me the benefit of your experience.
Sincerely,

2011 M37 BATTERY DEAD AGAIN AFTER REPLACEMENT
Re: 2011 M37 BATTERY DEAD AGAIN AFTER REPLACEMENT
Those problems are a pain to troubleshoot. It could be some sort of short or a relay that's stuck closed.
Sounds like you're still under warranty, I would force the dealership to figure it out.

Re: 2011 M37 BATTERY DEAD AGAIN AFTER REPLACEMENT
All of the following information and advice was provided by Sacramento Infiniti.
Long story short: the M37 bulletins provided on this forum do not apply because my car was made after the publication dates. My Infiniti M37 manufacturer date is in December, 2010.
I learned after this latest episode of the Infiniti M37 dead battery chronicles there is a white pull-out-plug in the middle of the fuse box, located on the left side of the driver's footwell, I can use for prolonged non-use of my M37. Who ever knows how long they will not use their car, even if it's their only car.
The key fobs may not be the problem, again because of my manufacturer date. I do think they have a very long transmitting range, but the bulletin applies only to M37s made prior to mine.
So I am going to wait and see. If I use the pull-out-plug for a prolonged period of time and I am able to restart the car without incident, I will advise everyone.
If I use the pull-out-plug and I can't start the M37 I will post the incident on this website, and probably get ride of the automobile. Why? My other cars don't have to be placed in suspended animation and are usually ready to go when I am ready to go.
This is Infiniti M37 battery/key fob solution is ridiculous and hard to believe, in this day and age, to be the only answer to unreasonable battery power consumption.
Thanks for ready about my frustration with Infiniti's M37.
