Dead battery =((

Well, i tried to start my car today, and no lights came on. Even just trying the accessories... no luck. I keep pressin the button blah blah and finally get out my voltmeter. I have about 3.4V on my battery!

What can cause this to happen so soon? The car is 7 months old!!!

Could have been a bad battery from the get go. Alternator? Something else drawing power when the car is off but it shouldn't.

I'm on my original 04 battery and it still appears strong. My guess is maybe a plate failure inside the battery, those things happen.

yea went and had it replaced. need to talk to infiniti about the dang windows now. the auto-up does not work at all and the windows go down all the way when the door opens, not just that one and a half inch.

This EXACT thing just happened to my wife the other day in her 08 G37. She was holding the window switches down for a long time trying to open the passenger side window, but the window lock button was pushed in or something...anyway she blew the "programmed" stops for the window motors. I repeated a procedure I saw posted here a week or so ago about how to reset the stops and it worked like a champ....no dealer visit necessary for that. Do a search for the reprogram fix or pm me if you want it.

I am having the same problem. I have a '08 G37S that is just now a year old and I've had issues with it starting. I am not leaving anything on but the battery is dying....when I finally get it started my windows start acting crazy. I took it to the dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Have you had any luck in finding a solution?

what the heck is going on with these G37s??

Yah my battery died on me so I had them recharge it. I noticed it running down again so I took it in again and this time had it replaced. No problems thus far. Probably a bad battery from the outset (anyone else think the battery looks ridiculously small for all the computer crap the car has?). Anyways, regarding the windows, with the power on, hold the switches in the window up position for a while (they said a minute but it's not that long). That allows them to go up all the way. Interesting to see I wasn't the only one this happened to...

i have a 2008, g37 with almost 8,000 miles on it. it is now 15 months old.

my car is at the dealer right now because they can't determine why my battery keeps dying. the first time i had driven from the airport, about 20 miles, made a few stops and on the 3rd stop, my car wouldn't start. they said i had left the accessory on.

less than a month later, i had driven from the airport on wednesday, drove to work on thursday and on friday my car wouldn't start again. this time even a power booster wouldn't start it, they had to jump start it.

so it has been at the dealer all week and they can't find anything wrong with it.

i sure hate that i paid all this money on a car that may or may not start when i get in the car.

and one more thing. my head lights and interior lights work just fine and the radio works. only the engine will not turnover.

Just bought my car in March and battery has died 5 times now. Today I went to go to work and car again wouldn't start. Glad to see it's not just happening to me. Is Infiniti working on a fix????

The battery thing seem bad, but it's just a battery. If my battery dies I'm going to get the heftiest aftermarket battery I can find. The "early dead battery" thing is not particular to the G37. Sometimes manufacturers just put crappy batteries in cars (period). I had to change the battery in my Acura in like a year and I've seen this happen with my co-worker's Mustang GT too.

It's not the worst thing that can happen to a new car.
