Four problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2003 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Airbag light: the airbag warning light in the dashboard is flashing. The reason I am bringing this up is because the owner's manual from Infiniti states that when the airbag warning light is flashing, it is possible that the airbags may not deploy if involved in a crash. I have searched on Infiniti and G35 forums and this appears to be a common problem among owners. It also appears as though Infiniti will not cover repairs even though this is a serious safety problem for owners of these vehicles. Luckily there has been no incident with my car yet and I intend to get it fixed so that I have my airbags operational in the event of a crash. I wanted to know what NHTSA recommends when I take my car into a an authorized Infiniti/Nissan service center? can I ask for the repair costs to be covered by Infiniti/Nissan since this appears to be a major safety issue rendering my vehicle unsafe to drive if left un-repaired. I have tried to do a soft reset of the system as described in a number of Infiniti/Nissan forums and while this initially helped about 12 to 18 months ago, the problem has resurfaced as flashing light has returned and the soft reset no longer works.

The airbag light has been on in my 2003 infinity G35 since the beginning of the year. I have recently taken the car to a reputable repair shop, and was not pleased to find that in this condition the airbag will not deploy. I have since found that there was a recall for airbag malfunctions in the 2005-2008 infinity G35's. The 2003 infinity G35's were not included, but yet there are other 2003 G35 owners that have had with similar problems. Unfortunately, some of them were injured when the airbag did not deploy.
Our 2003 g-35 infinity was struck on the right front passenger side of the vehicle at or just behind the bumper. The air bag did not deploy. The car that struck our vehicle ran through a red light, did not slow on a road that had a speed limit of 35 mph (at least). The car was totaled.
My wife was driving her 2003 infinite G35 in traffic when events occured that caused her to crash into the back of a Ford f350. She was wearing her seat belt but the drivers side airbag did not deploy. But the passager side airbag did. She sustained injuires to her head and chest. Car appears to be totaled, but is being accessed for amount of damages at this time.
