Air bag warning light for the passenger seat remains on. I took it to the dealer but was told that I had to pay (nearly $4000) to test the problem and then to replace the seat. Dealer never told me that the car with this problem was subject to a recall, which started in November 2008.

4 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2014

According to the us government, Infiniti recalled 2008 G35 for passenger side air bag problem associated with a sensor in the front passenger seat. Air bag warning light on the dash board keeps blinking. The dealer said the recall has to be VIN specific, and thus my car was not subject to the recall. Isn't a recall caused by a common or generic problem that exists in most of if not all cars of same model and same year? in this case 2008 G35? dealer said I should pay for the repair first and then seek refund from Infiniti. $3500 out of my pocket and take a chance? so how do I go about getting vic specific recall?.

7 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2012

When the passenger seat is occupied by an adult (150 lbs+), the passenger airbag warning light will sometimes illuminate indicating that the passenger airbag has been disabled. Infiniti has been involved with repairing the car 4 times for this issue. At this point they are no longer willing to further investigate the issue and say it is working as intended even though the light intermittently illuminates. The Infiniti dealer acknowledged that there is a design defect and maintained that Infiniti?s position is that the passenger needs to continue to adjust their seating position until the airbag indicator turns off (jump up and down, sit further upright, etc). The light can remain illuminated for as long as 10-15 minutes before finally being able to get the passenger airbag to be operable. This problem is intermittent, but again, Infiniti refuses to work on the car even though it is under warranty. I?m concerned that in the event of an accident, the passenger airbag is not working as intended and may not deploy as indicated by the passenger airbag warning light.

8 Warning Light On problem

The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti G35 sedan. While driving approximately 40 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.

The contact was concerned of the safety risk involved and the possibility of the frontal air bags deploying. The failure mileage was 200 and current mileage was 8,300.
