Passenger seat occupancy sensor failure. This disables the airbags for the front passenger. Cost to repair approaches the value of the car ($6k-7k). Seems to be a common issue with this vehicle.
In july 2019 the right side curtain airbag deployed while the car was sitting in my driveway. The car was off and not occupied.
When passenger sits in front seat, airbag deactivates. Infiniti diagnosed code as b1018 and wants $7k to replace seat cushion assembly. Infiniti refuses to acknowledge safety defect as part of their recall program by saying my VIN is not affected. The passenger side airbag deactivates after sitting in front seat for about a minute.
