I have a problem with my 2008 coupe g37s. can any one help me.When making a tight turn left or right the wheel does not come back to center. the infiniti dealer is telling me that this is normal for the sport model! I find that very odd.

So, your steering wheel is not centered or does not straighten out completely after a sharp turn without you manually centering it? If that's the case then I've not experienced that issue that I'm aware of.

Yes, the steering does not center after a sharp slow turn, such as turning in a parking spot or turning in a circle in a lot....Thanks for the reply.
I have an appmt at another Dealer Thursday. I'll see what they say.

Tires themselves should straighten the wheel as they try and track straight. If you are going very slow then It's possible it won't. What speed are we talking here?

Dunno, I have surely not noticed a dead spot in either of mine.

Did you get a loaner? does the loaner do it if it's another G?

I did not get a loaner because I have another car that I am using for the winter(I should have).I did talk to the service writer about the problem I was having, the way other G's drive and he said"He drive them all the time" and that he has never felt that problem.(at least this dealer cannot use that excuse).
