Four problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2011 Infiniti G37. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Airbag sensor for the passenger side has gone bad resulting in the airbag not deploying if in an accident. Stationary. Repair cost os over $9,000. 00. After research have found that this seems to be a manufactures defect but no recall has been issued for the year and model.
When driving on a city street the passenger air bag light came on. Took the car to sandy sansing Nissan in foley, al. Was told that the air bag sensor was faulty. After researching this it seems that this problem is common among g class vehicles. Infinity had a recall on the occupant classification system "OCS" manufactured by continental automotive systems in which a varistor in the OCS control unit may have been manufactured out of specifications. Under certain conditions, this could interrupt the signal between the OCS and the airbag control unit, causing the passenger airbag to be suppressed in an accident. The recall began Nov. 4, 2008. If this recall was in 2008 why is infinity still having this problem in 2011? what corrective action did infinity take to solve and keep the passenger safe in the event of an accident? if corrective action was not taken this could result in the passenger airbag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash. I ask that infinity test the signal between the OCS and acu using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary the seat cushion (containing the OCS hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specifications. I reference this to recall number 08v521000 (passenger airbag may not deploy). I have contacted infinity and have filed a complaint with infinity but have not received a response for corrective action from them. This is an update to dot auto safety, reference # 11383307.
Air bag warning light would not go off. Took it to a dealership and was told the problem is "occupancy sensor unit failure". Need to replace the occupancy sensor and control unit, at a cost of $6,888. I am appalled that Infiniti does not have a recall concerning this safety issue!! if an accident occurs, the airbags will not deploy. Infiniti is supposed to be a high quality car. So disappointing!.
Nissan/Infiniti safety issue the airbag light is blinking - sewell Infiniti mentioned that it was the occupant detection sensor and it would be roughly 6000 to fix. This is an insane amount for a deadly issue as my airbags will not deploy if I am in an accident. A google search shows a trend of this problem occurring with the G37, and it needs to be a recall. Nissan/Infiniti have several other models that have been recalled for the exact same problem - this is a defect from the manufacturer they are trying to sweep under the rug on a car with under 60,000 miles. I bought the car with 36,000 miles and have not had a single issue up until now.
