Three times in the past 4 years, the air bag warning light was triggered when the battery was either disconnected/reconnected or jump started. Each time to re-activate the airbag safety system, I had to send out the air bag control module to have it reset. It is not expensive to do that , but it does mean one has to disassemble the center console, remove airbag control module and send it out to be reset. Additionally, during the time that the airbag light is on, my understanding is that the SRS is deactivated, which is obviously a safety hazard.

What 2008 Infiniti G37 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light flashed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the Occupant Classification System (OCS) varistor in the front passenger seat had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to the Manufacturer Recall Number: P8243. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
According to Campaign P8243, Ref ITB08-045e, NTHTSA # 08-521, my 2008 Infiniti G37 has a warning blinking light for the passenger airbag. I contacted the National Consumer Affairs Dept of Infiniti and they said that my vin # did not indicate it has a recall. I was quoted $5000 to replace the seat by other mechanical shops, but my vehicle is not worth that anymore. Please advise. Thank you.
The airbag control module can be damaged through normal use. Simply disconnecting the battery can damage the module, which then causes the airbag malfunction light on the instrument cluster to turn on. It is unclear weather or not the airbag will function when this occurs. Presumably, it will not. The dealer solution for this is to replace the module, at a cost of over $1000. Fortunately, it is possible to remove the module and send it to a 3rd party who can reflash a chip. However, doing this every time a random electrical glitch (common ) causes the warning system to trip is dangerous.
Air bag light indicator on dashboard continually flashes off and on…no reason for it to be doing so; i.e., the vehicle has had no impact to cause it to flash.
The passenger air bag light is on and flashing and all my controls for my steering wheel have stopped working including my horn!
SRS Air Bag light continues to flash after the vehicle is running. This causes the passenger airbag to stay off even if a passenger is buckled in the seat.
I hit a bump or a pothole in the road and my driver side airbag deployed. My insurance wouldn't cover the claim as there had been no front or rear impact damage. Ever since my cars battery won't hold a charged and had to be jumped off prior to each use.
Around 6am on 4/13/19 me and my family and neighbors were awoken by an explosion in the front end of my vehicle..we called the fire dept and they ruled it as an electrical problem..I noticed that all the sensor lights in the dash would blink and the airbag sensor light was going off that evening prior to the incident..I didnt think much of it..I was planning on taking it to a mechanic that morning but it caught on fire..its a total loss.the fire fighters had to cut the hood open in half to get to the fire in the engine compartment..its not fair..I had just bought that car..and I loved my infinity..luckily I wasnt injured or anyone else. The vehicle was parked in the street..I need my car for work , school and on a regular basis. Please help me. *dt
The passenger airbag light keep blinking like the sensor isn't not working, I did came and ask infiniti dealer if there's any recall and they said no
