1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2020

The passenger airbag light is blinking due to a faulty sensor contained in the passenger seat. If this light does not turn off, no airbags will deploy in the event of an accident, which is a huge safety issue. Infiniti charges more than $7000 to replace the sensor and the seat to fix this out of warranty. Infiniti refuses to do a recall for this issue which has been found to be very common in Nissan and Infiniti vehicles.

3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2020

The airbag light started blinking, I got it checked and I was told the infant seat sensor was bad and all the seat has to be changed $6000. I checked a couple of online forums and it seems like in the past 2 years people with the same car model have been complaining about the same problem. Basically the passenger seat sensor is not working so it shuts off the airbag system for the passenger.

Airbag light came on & blinking for about a month. 2009 Infiniti G37. Took car for repair & was advised over 5k to repair sensor under passenger seat. Car has only 35,000 miles & hadn't even been driven all summer and no one ever sits in passenger seat! this is definitely a defect that warrants a recall because there are many, many other complaints about this same problem all over internet. Infiniti needs to take responsibility for this defect.

9 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2019

The airbag light on my 2009 infinity G37 convertible was flashing so I took the car to the infinity dealer on 8/22/19 and the problem was diagnosed as a bad occupant sensor (code 1018). Dealer said that the sensor was a part of the lower seat and that it had to be replaced at a grossly excessive cost of $6911. 13. Dealer said that because the sensor was bad the entire srs system in my car is compromised and will not deploy in an accident. I've researched this problem and it appears that hundreds if not thousands of G37 owners are experiencing this same issue. I am respectfully requesting that NHTSA issue a safety recall for the manufacturer to fix this problem.

Air bag light recently came on. I took to the dealer and after paying a diagnostic fee of $158 they said "the seat cushion needs to be replaced, occupant sensor is part of it and it would cost about $5,000+. With so many similar complaints, this should be a recall.

I have a 2009 Infiniti G37 with 89000 miles, just recently the air bag light started flashing for no apparent reason. I took it to the Infiniti dealer and was told it was the passenger air bag sensor in the front passenger seat that was bad, and would cost over $6k to fix. My research suggests this is a known safety issue and a common problem with Infinitis that should be recalled and corrected by Nissan corp.

13 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/27/2018

The airbag light flashes red on the dash panel indicating the passenger airbag is not on. It also shows on the panel under the air conditioner controls that the passenger air bag is off. This is a safety issue and it is due to a faulty safety restraint system sensor the in the passenger bottom seat. Infiniti has had recalls and issues with this srs system in the passenger seat while they did not recall the 20109 Infiniti G37. My G37 has approximately 50,500 miles and they want over $6,700. 00 to replace the whole driver's seat. This is a defective product and someone needs to be held accountable. To turn off the blinking light requires the airbag system to be disabled. This presents a serious safety issue since I am now driving a vehicle without any airbag protection.

23 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Takata recall same problem as other have stated airbag light, due to passenger seat sensors. Also melting dashboard, that causes glare to visibility and a safety hazard if the airbags did work. Unfortunately, the airbags have been disabled due to the sensor. Both the dashboard and airbag sensors have been recalled in other Nissan and Infiniti models but not this model. Pretty much all the same parts for the the dash and airbags but this model has been excluded.

26 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2015

Pass air bag light came on as it is malfunctioning. It will not go off. Took it to dealer in greenville SC they said that the sensor in the seat is likely the problem but did not know for sure. Cost would be between $1500 and $3000 to replace. I called infinity service nationwide they said there is no recall. I see on this reporting website that this is happening to others and that it also was an issue with the 2008 g35 and that for the 2008 it is a recall issue. This should be a recall for the 2009 G37 also.

27 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2014

This is a frequent event that I just noticed a few months ago. When someone is in the front passenger seat of the vehicle, the airbag light comes on indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This occurs anytime a passenger sits in the front seat, regardless of weight or height. Today I also noticed that Nissan has issued a recall for 1,053,479 vehicles globally for similar issues. However, my vehicle isn't included in this recall however there have been multiple reports of older model g35/g37 vehicles with the exact same issue. I think that my 2009 Infiniti G37 should be included in this recall as well. I'm very concerned about this, because this is a huge safety issue!.
