Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2013 Infiniti G37

Air bag warning light flashing. Took to dealer for diagnosis. Service advisor stated faulty passenger sensor, cost to repair $7,388. 00 + tax and service fees. Because of faulty sensor, air bag will not deploy in an accident. Repair cost unreasonable for required safety feature.

Tl the contact owned a 2013 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that the vehicle was rear ended while at a stop light, causing the contact to crash into another vehicle. The air bag failed to deploy. The contact sustained a concussion, and injuries to the lower back, left rotator cup, and left arm that required medical attention. The other driver was also injured and required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The contact also stated that she was involved in a crash on three different occasions. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The VIN was not available.

The passenger air bag light illuminates (meaning the air bag will not deploy) when a full size adult is sitting in the passenger seat. The dealership states that the air bag light should illuminate on partial weight applied to the seat bottom. Dealership states that they tested by watching the airbag status in data monitor and found airbag activates when sitting in the seat properly and turns off when getting out of the seat. However light does not illuminate in this case. According to the dealership the system is working properly. This occurs when the vehicle is underway at any speed with adult passenger and seat belts fastened. When a full size adult (175 to 200 lbs. Is sitting in the passenger seat the air bag illuminates which contradicts the dealerships findings. Dealership is lokey Infiniti of clearwater, FL who examined the system on 8-18-2018.

The vehicle was involved in an accident where another car hit the front of the vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy.

I was in a parking lot. I backed out when I started to shift into drive the car accelerated and started to spin in circles. The steering wheel locked. I was not in control of the car and nothing would worked in the car. I couldn't shift gears so I shoved it into park. The car finally stopped but not before it hit an island causing $7822 in damages to the rear of the car. The air bags did not deploy. I was quite shaken up but had no serious injury. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted at the local and regional levels. They had someone look at the vehicle but after 7 weeks they still have not contacted me with their findings. I am not driving the vehicle and I have not had it repaired. I fear that if I have it repaired and I sell the vehicle, it is an unsafe car and someone else will get hurt. I have found several reports of similar occurrences on the internet.

Passenger air bag light would light up (meaning air bag will not deploy) when my wife (117 lbs) was seated on the front passenger seat. This was also happening on my 2010 Nissan frontier pro 4x truck with leather seats. Nissan dealer could not fix it. They were blaming my wife. This is a safety issue! please help. Thank you!.
