2008 Infiniti G37 electrical problems

Filed Sep 16, 2022 · Airbags, Electrical · MA

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.

Regarding tracking number 11400119.- infinity called me today(from phone number 6157257000. She said they are not interested in my case because the car has no recall on it. I'm confused because I thought you and infinity would want to know what caused the fire and if others with this model of.car were in danger of being set on fire.

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

Airbag light randomly came one. I went into the dealership they said it was a sensor in my passenger seat and that it would cost 5k to replace. I was shocked. That is a manufactured problem and huge safety issue. I shouldn't have to pay for something like that when I already paid over 30k for the car. Not right.

Clicking noise coming from behind the tachometer. While driving, the clicking noise happens when the tachometer is between 2k & 3k. The faster I drive, the louder & faster the clicking.

On the approx. Date of incident, I started the vehicle in the morning and noticed the air bag light would blink and not turn off. After referencing the manual, I brought the vehicle into an infiniti dealership to be diagnosed. The diagnosis was that the passenger side airbag sensor had failed and would cost more than $2,700 to replace. I left without replacing the part. I notice this exact item has already been recalled for this exact make/model/year vehicle, but the manufacturer has told me that the recall was not for my specific VIN. This recall should be expanded to include all 2008 infiniti g37 vehicles.....updated 10/01/15
