2009 Infiniti G37

A recall was issued for a faulty passenger side airbag sensor on the Infinity G37 model year 2007 -2008 (08V521000). I own a 2009 G37 and it would appear this car is experiencing the same safety issue. The airbag off light for the front passenger seat remains illuminated even with a 200 pound adult seated in it. I also have a constantly flashing airbag warning that is displayed on the dashboard. I am extremely concerned that should my vehicle be involved in a crash, passenger side airbag will not deploy even though there is someone seated in that seat. Infiniti has stated that to repair this issue will cost over $5000 which is nearly the entire value of the car. This recall should be extended to additional model years of the G37.

The contact owns a 2009 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that the passenger’s side air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the seat needed to be replaced. The passenger’s side seat wiring and sensor were faulty. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000. The consumer stated he has taken is vehicle to the dealer and filed a complaint with Infiniti and both parties are stating there is nothing that they can do.

Car got a flashing airbag light after battery replacement. Reset multiple times just for light to come back. Took to Mears Nissan dealership for diagnosis. Diagnosed with bad occupant detection sensor. Dealership quoted me $4,500 for part without labor. Perfectly good car no longer has operating airbags, my personal safety is now at risk because the cost of repair is greater than the cars value, and the part is on back order for an extended unknown period of time. Vehicle is available for inspection. No other lights at time of incident.

The contact owns a 2009 Infiniti G37. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the airbag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the passenger’s side airbag sensor was damaged and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the part to fix the vehicle was no longer being manufactured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage is approximately 100,000.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING ON MY - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ASK THEM TO INVESTIGATE OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL I'M CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG IS IN DEFAULT THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME LOT OF MONEY FOR THEM TO FIX IT .ITS STILL FLASHING AND THAT WAS ABOUT A YR AGO DEALER SHOULD HAVE RECORD KERNEY MESA INF SAN DIEGO

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.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS BLINKING DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR CONTAINED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF THIS LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF, NO AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI CHARGES MORE THAN $7000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND THE SEAT TO FIX THIS OUT OF WARRANTY. INFINITI REFUSES TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE VERY COMMON IN NISSAN AND INFINITI VEHICLES.

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.
