My passenger air bag light started suddenly flashing on the instrument panel while a passenger was in the seat. The air bag light sensor shows the air bag isn’t on, even when a passenger is seated. This causes concern because if an accident occurs, it is likely the air bag will not deploy as it appears to be disabled by the sensor. The has been a widely reported problem and should be recalled due to faulty sensor.

My 2011 Infiniti G37 passenger airbag light comes on and off even if there is no people sitting. And even with passengers the lights come on and off, Im worried that one day something happens and the airbag wont deploy. I have done some research and I found out that there is a lot of people that have the same issues. In case of an accident airbag might not deploy, Infiniti has not issue a safety recall for the airbags, and there are complains from 2011 since it came out and there still no recalls in 2022.

Passenger front air bag not activating due to a faulty seat sensor. It puts the passenger at risk of air bags not deploying and potentially causing harm or death. This is a well known problem with this particular vehicle and cost 7000 plus to fix at dealership because the entire seat needs replaced. My airbag light has been blinking and when a passenger sits in the front seat...the airbag still shows as off. 7000 plus is a ridiculous amount when its something i believe should be corrected by a recall. Here is one a few websites that other owners have dealt with the same issue: https://www.carproblemzoo.com/infiniti/g37/air-bag-light-on-problems.php

My passenger seat belt light started blinking and the dealer said I needed a new chip in the seat at a cost of $8,000. I went online to see what other Infiniti car owners were experiencing and it turns out this is happening with all their cars. I can not tell if the airbag is working or will work if I have an accident. This seems like it should be covered by a recall. Please advise.

Airbag sensor bad. Due to poor design of location of sensor, The repair for this sensor involves the complete removal and replacement of the front passenger seat. The cost of the repair for this sensor estimate from dealership is $4200. Neither Infiniti nor Nissan will financially assist with this obscene repair cost due to design and location of sensor. Without this repair, no airbag in the car will work as intended. We were told that should the driver continue to drive the vehicle without the repair, the airbag could spontaneously deploy, potentially causing great bodily harm to driver and the public. The other issue that is likely to occur is that should the vehicle be involved in an accident, none of the airbags will deploy as intended. The car can not be driven at this time. The airbag light flickered and then stayed on beginning June 2022. The Infiniti dealership in Clearwater, Florida inspected the issue and diagnosed with repair estimate. They offer no other remedy nor any further financial assistance to repair this vehicle from regional nor corporate offices of both Infinit and Nissan.

Two weeks after having my G37 serviced at the Las Vegas dealership the engine shut down while driving on the freeway at full speed. The car rapidly lost power and speed. The gas peddle was unresponsive and after decelerating, the car would only move forward at very slow speed. A major accident was avoided only through the quick actions of trailing traffic which had to slam on their brakes. After towing back to the dealership they reported the heater hose failed. Their vehicle inspection report provided to me two weeks early reported the heater hoses and connectors where inspected and did not require replacement. When I Questioned this they stated it was a plastic part within the heater hose that failed and they don't check that. I consulted the maintenance manual for the car and at now mileage or time point does infiniti recommend replacing the hose. I have had this car serviced at an Infinity dealership every 7,500 miles since bought new. At no time did they ever recommend replacing the hose. This may be more of a safety issue with Infiniti's service program than the car. But the car computers response to the condition also but driver safety at risk.
