A recall was issued for a faulty passenger side airbag sensor on the Infinity G37 model year 2007 -2008 (08V521000). I own a 2009 G37 and it would appear this car is experiencing the same safety issue. The airbag off light for the front passenger seat remains illuminated even with a 200 pound adult seated in it. I also have a constantly flashing airbag warning that is displayed on the dashboard. I am extremely concerned that should my vehicle be involved in a crash, passenger side airbag will not deploy even though there is someone seated in that seat. Infiniti has stated that to repair this issue will cost over $5000 which is nearly the entire value of the car. This recall should be extended to additional model years of the G37.

Car got a flashing airbag light after battery replacement. Reset multiple times just for light to come back. Took to Mears Nissan dealership for diagnosis. Diagnosed with bad occupant detection sensor. Dealership quoted me $4,500 for part without labor. Perfectly good car no longer has operating airbags, my personal safety is now at risk because the cost of repair is greater than the cars value, and the part is on back order for an extended unknown period of time. Vehicle is available for inspection. No other lights at time of incident.

In 2018 dash and passenger airbag light illuminated. Took it to dealer and was told that occupancy sensor in passenger seat needed to be replaced. In 2021 dash airbag light flashing and passenger airbag light off illuminated. Code determined occupancy sensor. Cost to repair basic car safety feature $7000.00 which is prohibitive.

The passenger seat occupant sensor is not working
Upon starting the 2009 g37 with just over 73k miles on it, the airbag light began flashing.the following week, on december 28, 2020, I took the car to sewell infiniti of ft. Worth to have the problem diagnosed. The fault code "b1018 occupant sensor unit fail" was found. The only remedy is to replace the passenger seat lower cushion assembly for $6575.89. The upshot is the car is unsafe to drive with a person in the passenger seat because the airbags will not deploy.
The passenger airbag light is blinking due to a faulty sensor contained in the passenger seat. If this light does not turn off, no airbags will deploy in the event of an accident, which is a huge safety issue. Infiniti charges more than $7000 to replace the sensor and the seat to fix this out of warranty. Infiniti refuses to do a recall for this issue which has been found to be very common in nissan and infiniti vehicles.
I turned on my car in my driveway one day and the airbag light was on. It turns out that the passenger seat sensor has gone bad in my car. The car has been taken care of and has 50,000 miles. This seems to be a very common and expensive issue and should be a recall. Not to mention that if you're in an accident and have a passenger sitting in your car, their airbags will not deploy resulting in serious injury.
Front passenger seat airbag weight sensor failure. Airbag will not deploy due to sensor failure. Replacement part is an entire seat and worth approximately the value of the car. 67k miles on the vehicle, started while parked. This should be a recall.
The airbag sensor located in base of passenger seat is faulty rendering the airbag not functional. The sensor is not available for replacement and the bottom seat unit must be replaced at the cost of $7,000. After researching the issue, it appears to be widespread to the model and year. The airbag light blinks on the dashboard indicating an issue. The issue was confirmed at he infiniti dealer and also an independent mechanic.
The airbag light started blinking, I got it checked and I was told the infant seat sensor was bad and all the seat has to be changed $6000. I checked a couple of online forums and it seems like in the past 2 years people with the same car model have been complaining about the same problem. Basically the passenger seat sensor is not working so it shuts off the airbag system for the passenger.
Airbag sensor was blinking on my dash after starting it in my driveway to drive to work. I took it in to an infinity dealership and only to find out it was a seat sensor to be replace with only 40k miles on the vehicle. The part alone cost $6340.00 which isn't worth fixing. I wasn't told of any other option and seems to have happened a lot with other owners and no recall of any sort is to be issued.
Airbag light flashing. Passenger airbag off light illuminated.diagnosis code b1018 occupant sens. Dealer reset the airbag light however the next day it was flashing again.
Need to replace either occupant classification system control unit which is part of the lower seat assembly. Cost approx. 4000 to 5000 thousand dollars or replace air bag diagnosis sensor unit which is under center console. Cost approx. 1700 dollars. Cannot tell me which one to replace. Car has 34000 miles on it. Internet tells me that this a common problem with this vehicle.
Airbag light is blinking so took to dealership charged $149.00 and said they cleared codes...service man said that something about passenger seat needed to be replaced for around $7000.00...light has come back on😬
Air bag light recently came on. I took to the dealer and after paying a diagnostic fee of $170 they said "the seat cushion needs to be replaced, occupant sensor is part of it and it would cost about $7,000+. With so many similar complaints, this should be a recall.
The passenger airbag sensor remains off even when an adult is sitting in the seat. Infinite doesn't consider it a safety issue even though many of their g37 models have this issue so no recall. The only fix is to replace the seat for$6,000 or more on a car worth $8,000 now.
Airbag light came on & blinking for about a month. 2009 infiniti g37. Took car for repair & was advised over 5k to repair sensor under passenger seat. Car has only 35,000 miles & hadn't even been driven all summer and no one ever sits in passenger seat! This is definitely a defect that warrants a recall because there are many, many other complaints about this same problem all over internet. Infiniti needs to take responsibility for this defect.
Passenger airbag sensor blinks continuously. Brought to dealership and was told entire seat must be replaced. Price for seat is more than what the car is worth. So passenger will not be protected in case of accident.
My air bag light has been flashing the last few months I took it to a shop to see if the could scan it to see what the problem was. Well it happens to be the occupancy seat sensor, and infiniti doess not sell just that part, they want you to buy the whole lower part of the seat, which comes to little over 5 thousand dollars??!! Seriously, now that this issue is on the table anyone with the same issue get into a serious wreck and the airbags do not deploy as they should that could cause serious injury or even death. Please get this recalled.
Air bag dashboard light began flashing and would not turn off, regardless of whether anyone was in the passenger seat. Fault code b1018 shown when car taken to shop. No way to repair other than to replace the entire sensor and passenger seat cushion, which is quoted at $5000-$6000 from the manufacturer for parts. There is no reason that a defective passenger-side seat sensor should disable all the airbags in the vehicle. This strongly deserves a recall, as it seems to have suddenly been happening to large numbers of 2009 g37s this year. This defect puts the driver at significant risk even though his/her own airbag and all other airbag sensors should still function normally.
Warning light came on for the passenger side air bag system that it was not operational. I researched it and believe it is a faulty sensor. This has happened to other g37s of the same model year. This is a safety issue as I believe the whole SRS system is not working.
Airbag light continuously blinks and cant be reset.
Air bag light flashes seems to be common problem dealer wanted close to 4k to replace seat sensor for driver/passenger should be a complete recall on this thata mors then car is worth
Passenger air bag occupant sensor is no longer working. Air bag warning light is always flashing. Failure started during normal highway driving. Replacement of sensor is estimated at over $7,000. Car has low mileage and runs great, but with this safety issue, it is a risk to drive and is worthless to sell as the price to repair is as much as the value of the car. Noticed this issue is a common problem with the model through the years; however, no recalls have been made. Action is needed.
The airbag light on my 2009 infinity g37 convertible was flashing so I took the car to the infinity dealer on 8/22/19 and the problem was diagnosed as a bad occupant sensor (code 1018). Dealer said that the sensor was a part of the lower seat and that it had to be replaced at a grossly excessive cost of $6911.13. Dealer said that because the sensor was bad the entire SRS system in my car is compromised and will not deploy in an accident. I've researched this problem and it appears that hundreds if not thousands of g37 owners are experiencing this same issue. I am respectfully requesting that the federal safety agency issue a safety recall for the manufacturer to fix this problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37. While driving 65 MPH, the passenger side air bag warning indicator illuminated. The owner's manual stated that in the event of a crash, the air bag may not deploy. Infiniti of nashua (located at 11 marmon dr, nashua, nh 03060, (603) 891-1400) was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle should be taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but he declined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Passenger occupant airbag/seat sensor faulty. Upon doing research find infiniti is charging over $6000.00 for replacement. This directly affects passenger safety as airbag will not deploy with a bad sensor. Consumers cannot afford this cost
