- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350z, 350z roadster, my 2008 altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 g35 sedan, my 2008 g37 coupe and ex35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).
- Risk
- This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on november 4, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261 or infiniti at 1‑800‑662‑6200.

What 2008 Infiniti G35 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My car has been stalling while driving at low speed. Several warning lights come up (check engine light, slip light, battery light) and then the engine shuts down completely. Upon placing the car in park, I am able to re-start it. This is a major safety issue. I believe my car is part of recall number 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling. However, my VIN is not part of the recall, but I am experiencing the same issues associated with this recall. This needs to be re-addressed. I have children, and I am worried that this issue can cause an accident, especially while I am driving on the freeway. I have seen various similar complaints related to this issue with infiniti.
My car has started stalling while driving, while driving! I have gone to the dealer to have issue fixed, once I get it fixed it happens again, and then the dealer says it might be something else. I have a small child and its terrifying knowing that if I'm on the highway my car will stall or anywhere for that matter. It's been happening for weeks, started at very low speeds and as of yesterday the engine shut off, no steering while going at a higher speed, I could have easily been in a wreck, or even killed someone walking. It's unsafe! There are many forums online regarding this issue with infiniti vehicles and they don't care. Lawsuit waiting to happen.

When driving slow, 5 to 15 MPH merging onto busy interstate 84 highway without warning the battery light, and brake light will come on and engine shuts off. The car lights, radio still work. Put the car in park start the engine and its starts up as normal. This car has gone to the dealer, and 2 other shops 800.00 later its still having a stalling issue. I have a 4 year old and this issue scares me.
Something is draining my battery. I have purchased a new battery and also tested the alternator. If my car sits for two days I have to jump the battery to start my vehicle. I google my problem and found other owners with the same problem. They imply it has something to do with the bose radio.
