2011 Infiniti G37

INFINITI SHOULD RECALL ALL AFFECTED G37 PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS. MY INFINITI G37 JOURNEY SEDAN HAS AN ISSUE OF "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT" TURNING ON WHEN EVEN AN ADULT SITS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE THE RESULT. THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES COME ON OFTEN ENOUGH TO CONCERN ME. MY WIFE IS ABOUT 110 POUNDS AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR SHOULD DETECT HER AS AN ADULT AND IT SHOULD ACTIVATE IN CASE OF A COLLISION. HOWEVER, WHEN THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT IS ON WHEN AN ADULT SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND INFINITI SHOULD ADDRESS IT TO INSURE BASIC SAFETY OF ITS OCCUPANTS. ACCORDING TO THE WWW.MYG37.COM FORUM THERE ARE MANY G37 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. YET THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUED YET. INFINIT DEALERS SAY THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR AND THE WHOLE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED AND ITS COST IS ABOUT $8,000 AND THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL PRICE.

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR HAS EXPERIENCED TOTAL SHUT DOWN OF AIRBAGS DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A QUITE COMMON OCCURENCE AND CREATES A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR, $5000+, MANY CITIZENS DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, THUS DRIVING WITHOUT ANY AIRBAG PROTECTION. ALSO MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THAT SOON AFTER BUYING A USED NISSAN PRODUCT THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. I THINK THIS COULD LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A QUITE COMMON PROBLEM UNDERREPORTED BY THE PRIMARY PARTIES. THIS ALONG WITH THE FACT OF EXCESSIVE REPAIR COST IS , IN MY OPINION, IS CREATING AN UNNECESSARY PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD WHICH WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW YOU TO RECEIVE MY CONCERNS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC, I HAD TO COME TO STOP. I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO TRY AND TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS SOFT AND GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS RESULTS IN A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. SINCE I COULDN'T TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR, THE CAR DIES AS I COME TO A STOP. THE TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVE AGAIN AND I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR. THE CAR LURCHES FROM THE STARTER AND THE CAR STILL IN GEAR. THE CAR DOES NOT START, BUT I AM ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND MAKE IT A HALFWAY ONTO THE LEFT SHOULDER. FROM HERE I AM ABLE TO START THE ENGINE BUT STILL CAN'T GET THE CAR IN GEAR AS CARS START MOVING QUICKLY PAST. PUMPING THE CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOTHING TO BUILD PRESSURE, BUT AFTER REVVING THE ENGINE SLIGHTLY, IT SEEMS TO BUILD A BIT OF PRESSURE AND I AM THEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN GEAR AND VERY UNSAFELY (MAX IS ONLY 20MPH IN FIRST GEAR) MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. I CRAWL UNDER THE CAR AND FIND LEAKING CLUTCH FLUID THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM INSIDE THE BELL HOUSING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50K MILES AND IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I PUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK THAT DAY AND FEEL LIKE THE FAILURE IN THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS FLAWED AND IS A HUGE SAFELY CONCERN.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES RED ON THE DASH PANEL INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ON. IT ALSO SHOWS ON THE PANEL UNDER THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM SENSOR THE IN THE PASSENGER BOTTOM SEAT. INFINITI HAS HAD RECALLS AND ISSUES WITH THIS SRS SYSTEM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THEY DID NOT RECALL THE 2011 INFINITI G37. MY G37 HAS APPROXIMATELY 23,500 MILES AND THEY WANT OVER $5,000.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT BOTTOM. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. TO TOP THINGS OFF, MY DASH IS MELTING AND I KNOW THEY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA WITH NISSAN MELTING DASHBOARDS IN 2008. I GUESS THIS COULD ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE DASH IS STICKY AND HOT AND IF A CHILD WERE TO TOUCH IT THEY COULD POSSIBLY GET BURNED NOT TO MENTION THE MESS. INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID THEY WOULD NOT REMEDY EITHER ISSUE. WHAT A QUALITY PRODUCT......I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLE AND HAVE OWNED 5.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON (APRIL 5, 2017)WHILE ON HIGHWAY. HAD DEALER DIAGNOSE AND THE RESULTS CAME OUT AS THE SENSOR HAS FAILED.THE WHOLE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COSTING OVER 6K USD, SENSOR CANT BE REPLACED BY ITSELF IS ABSURD. EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT EITHER EVEN WITH PREMIER CARE FROM ALL STATE.I TRIED GETTING IT TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT STAKE BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO FIX IT. IT COSTS A SEAT OR A DOWN PAYMENT TOWARDS A NEW CAR. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS. IVE SEEN ONLINE THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOSE HAVING THIS ISSUE ESPECIALLY FROM NISSAN/INFINITI
