OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I HAVE A 2007 INFINITI G35 WITH 144000 MILES, NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT BEFORE. 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 SEVERAL THOUSANDS DOLLAR TO FIX. AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SUGGESTS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MANY INFINITI/NISSAN OWNERS ARE CURRENTLY HAVE. NISSAN HAS RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR VERY SELECTED VEHICLE BUT I THINK A WIDER RANGE OF RECALL SHOULD BE DONE BY INFINITI/NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE AIR BAG OCS SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ON 2007 G35X WITH 87000 MILES. DEALER SAID IT WAS SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT AT A COST OF $5500 TO REPLACE. THESE SEAT AIRBSG SENSORS FOR 04-07 WERE RECALLED BUT MY CAR WAS MADE DECEMBER 2006, OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED. NOW I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO AIRBAG SYSTEM.

A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY INFINITI, A 2007 G35X MODEL OCCURRED RANDOMLY, WITH ODOMETER READING AROUND 160,000 MILES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLASH WITHOUT HAVING BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR IN ANYWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS MODULE WAS NOT DUE TO NEGLECT OR ERROR ON MY PART. UPON MY RESEARCH, I FOUND AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL ON 2006 AND SOME 2007 G35X INFINITI'S, BUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. A REPORT FOUND ON THE MOTOR SAFETY WEBSITE HTTPS://WWW.MOTORSAFETY.ORG/CATEGORY/INFINITI/ STATED THIS ISSUE AND RECALL IMPACTED MORE CARS THAN INITIALLY IDENTIFIED, INCLUDING MY MODEL AND YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI CORPORATION ASKING THEM FOR HELP COVERING THE COST OF THIS $6000 REPAIR BECAUSE THE INSPECTING MECHANIC STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A CAR WITH A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI CORPORATION DECLINED COVERING THE REPAIR NOR AGREED TO PROVIDE A $6000 CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER INFINITI VEHICLE SINCE THE VALUE OF A 2007 MODEL WITHOUT AIRBAG ISSUES IS ABOUT $4000.
