I hit a bump or a pothole in the road and my driver side airbag deployed. My insurance wouldn't cover the claim as there had been no front or rear impact damage. Ever since my cars battery won't hold a charged and had to be jumped off prior to each use.

Just like the 2008, my 2009 g7 coupe passenger side airbag sensor is defective and no longer works. I called Infiniti but was told that my 2009 did not qualify. They want over $4000 to replace the bottom cushion (without labor). $4000!!!! 2008 Infiniti G37 air bags recall 08v521000. Occupant classification system (OCS) control units. A varistor in the OCS control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the OCS and the air bag control unit (acu).

The passenger side airbag sensor is faulty. It says that the airbag is off even when someone is occupying the passenger seat. Infiniti quoted $7,000. 00 to repair the sensor. The entire seat needs to be replaced. This is obviously a manufacturers defect.

In my 2013 Infiniti G37 front ¿passenger airbag off¿ light comes on and stays on (means passenger side air bag is disabled) even when a grownup person weighing over 100 pounds sitting on passenger seat, putting front passenger at risk in case of a crash. It seems "occupant classification system" (OCS) is not working as it should making car computer think that a child is sitting on front passenger seat. I have had my car checked by dealer twice but they did not find anything wrong and stated that "it's working as designed" but the issue still persist. On NHTSA web site I found out many other owners of Infiniti 2013 G37 are experiencing the same issue with passenger side air bag. I also checked for any recall my car but did not find any, however there was a recall on "occupant classification system" for 2013 jx35. I suspect 2013 G37 "occupant classification system" has similar issue as 2013 jx35. On behalf of all 2013 G37 owner, we would be really appreciate it if NHTSA can investigate this critical safety further.

Transmission: transmission does not operate properly. Harsh downshifting (usually around 30-40 mph) began within first two months of ownership and continues to this day. Significant lag (2-3 seconds) occurs when accelerating while moving or while nearly stopped creating unsafe driving conditions when entering an intersection, merging into traffic, or accelerating to avoid a collision. Service bulletins have been issued by manufacturer and applied to vehicle in attempt to address problems (ecm/tcm reprogrammings), however, problems persist and are constant. Initially, manufacturer communicated with me in attempt to resolve problems, including a commitment to replace transmission, but has now ceased communication. Automobile forums and manufacturer service bulletins indicate this is a widely known, widely experienced problem with this model of transmission. It appears manufacturer is no longer committed to resolving these problems. Air bags: passenger side air bag signal will illuminate indicating passenger side air bag is deactivated although there is an adult passenger in the seat. If the passenger lifts off the seat for 10 seconds, the illumination will cease and presumably the passenger air bag is once again activated, however, sometimes the signal will again illuminate and the passenger must again lift off the seat to cease illumination to ensure proper operation of passenger side air bag. Proper operation of the passenger side air bag is uncertain. The manufacturer told me they would contact dealership in order to diagnose this problem but they have not done so.
