2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe Intermittent/short Duration Small Rpm Increase During Braking
#31
I told them that it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, that a learning module in a sports car can learn to lose power to the point of being, according to the dealer, "as slow as a G35 sedan with 4 large adults, going uphill."
I am calling Customer Assistance...

Yea, i get this problem too! it feels like the gears aren't picking up or something...
it was a similar feeling in my old civic... soon after, the tranny blew out! i hope it doesn't get serious. should i take it in? and lose power like some of you are saying? what to do?!

This happened sometimes with my Maxima I had before my g....BUT, that reminds me, sometimes if I go from D to tiptronic and downshift and accelerate hard in first or 2nd, it wont go anywhere, and sometimes it takes 2 or 3 up shifts before it actually shifts....

That happens to me too!! Its dangerous because you hit the throttle and nothing happens and then suddenly the throttle is engaged...i had the tsb done and thats when the problem started.

I noticed this the most when the car is in DS mode. I though I read a few owners had experienced a bit of lost of power after their ECU were flashed. If that is true, I will live with the small surge when braking.

Personally I wouldn't think that would be a smart move. The power lose is most likely in the heads of those individuals. There might be a little bit of a lag when starting out which should can be helped with a grounding kit.

Not true - too many people experience this for this to be something "in our heads." I have also had it confirmed by a DEALER, which similarly invalidates your point. And, by the way, I have a grounding kit. The power loss problem seems to be cured by using the tiptronic mode... I drive for a few minutes in tiptronic and switch back to regular D and then to DS - for whatever reason, the car is brand new again. I am not sure, but I believe it is related to either the torque convertor or a problem with the transmission itself because, when sluggish off the line (for example), I notice that I can immediately accelerate harder and the car will downshift!!! Off the line, I should already be in first gear, although when this problem happens, I am not... Also, third gear feels like I am towing an RV when I try to accelerate. It's definitely not in my head because I can tell the difference between when the problem is gone and when it's there...

It's not a power loss....Its zero power. When I switch from regular to DS and push the throttle, absoultely nothing happens...I can floor it and nothing happens for about 1-3 seconds...suddenly, after about 1-3 seconds off having my foot on the throttle, the throttle engages and the car takes off.
