1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2020

Upon starting the 2009 G37 with just over 73k miles on it, the airbag light began flashing. The following week, on December 28, 2020, I took the car to sewell Infiniti of ft. Worth to have the problem diagnosed. The fault code "b1018 occupant sensor unit fail" was found. The only remedy is to replace the passenger seat lower cushion assembly for $6575. 89. The upshot is the car is unsafe to drive with a person in the passenger seat because the airbags will not deploy.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2020

Front passenger seat airbag weight sensor failure. Airbag will not deploy due to sensor failure. Replacement part is an entire seat and worth approximately the value of the car. 67k miles on the vehicle, started while parked. This should be a recall.

3 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2020

I turned on my car in my driveway one day and the airbag light was on. It turns out that the passenger seat sensor has gone bad in my car. The car has been taken care of and has 50,000 miles. This seems to be a very common and expensive issue and should be a recall. Not to mention that if you're in an accident and have a passenger sitting in your car, their airbags will not deploy resulting in serious injury.

4 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2019

My air bag light has been flashing the last few months I took it to a shop to see if the could scan it to see what the problem was. Well it happens to be the occupancy seat sensor, and Infiniti doess not sell just that part, they want you to buy the whole lower part of the seat, which comes to little over 5 thousand dollars??!! seriously, now that this issue is on the table anyone with the same issue get into a serious wreck and the airbags do not deploy as they should that could cause serious injury or even death. Please get this recalled.

5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2019

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Infiniti G37. While driving 65 mph, the passenger side air bag warning indicator illuminated. The owner's manual stated that in the event of a crash, the air bag may not deploy. Infiniti of nashua (located at 11 marmon dr, nashua, nh 03060, (603) 891-1400) was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle should be taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but he declined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

6 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2019

Passenger occupant airbag/seat sensor faulty. Upon doing research find Infiniti is charging over $6000. 00 for replacement. This directly affects passenger safety as airbag will not deploy with a bad sensor. Consumers cannot afford this cost.

7 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

Passenger occupancy sensor is knows to fail on these cars, and the airbag will not deploy because the computer doesnt know if anyone is sitting in the seat. The repair costs 60-80% of vehicle's value, and not feasible for any sane individual to pay for this faulty sensor. Nissan/ Infiniti fail to take responsibility for this faulty sensor and will not replace under safety recall. This is unacceptable.

8 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2019

The airbag light started blinking. I took it into the dealership and they said there was an issue with the passenger seat occupancy sensor; they need to replace the entire passenger seat. They said the airbags will not deploy at this time and total cost of repairs will be approx $8000. I was told this was "just something that happens" but when I searched online hundreds of people have the same complaint! this isn't like replacing brakes that have worn down; I've never used the airbags. And unless I pay $8k for a known malfunction, they won't deploy in an accident and the vehicle has lost all resale/trade-in value.

9 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2018

Airbag warning light blinking. Per dealer this is caused by a faulty occupant sensor causing the airbag to not deploy. Dealer states part is 4400. 00 and may not be available plus the cost to install could be near 2000 total around 6400. 00. I would think that their airbag sensor would last longer than 9 years and the burden of such a high cost seems like price gouging not to mention they are not sure if part is readily available. Very dangerous situation for someone who paid good money for a vehicle that can not be safely driven.

10 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2017

The flashing airbag light on the dash is a constant event. This airbag light flashes indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This occurs all the time, whether there is a passenger in the front seat or not, and regardless of any passenger weight or height. The onboard diagnostics, based on the flashing pattern on the console, indicate a problem with the OCS (occupant classification system). Because of this issue, the passenger airbag will not deploy, creating a significant passenger safety hazard. The light flashes all of the time the vehicles has the power on, stopped or moving. Nissan has issued a recall for over a million vehicles globally for similar issues. However, my vehicle isn't included in this recall, even though there have been multiple recalls on older model g35/g37 and newer vehicles with the exact same issue. Therefore, 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!.
