Air bag light recently came on. I took to the dealer and after paying a diagnostic fee of $158 they said "the seat cushion needs to be replaced, occupant sensor is part of it and it would cost about $5,000+. With so many similar complaints, this should be a recall.
2009 Infiniti G37 airbags complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 88, newest first, as owners wrote them.
B1018 dtc code for a failed occupancy sensor. Many many reported faults and infiniti chooses to ignore the serious problem. In most cases, the repair is $6,000+. Sometimes 80-90% of true vehicle's market value.
Passenger occupancy sensor is knows to fail on these cars, and the airbag will not deploy because the computer doesnt know if anyone is sitting in the seat. The repair costs 60-80% of vehicle's value, and not feasible for any sane individual to pay for this faulty sensor. Nissan/ infiniti fail to take responsibility for this faulty sensor and will not replace under safety recall. This is unacceptable.
I have a 2009 infiniti g37 with 89000 miles, just recently the air bag light started flashing for no apparent reason. I took it to the infiniti dealer and was told it was the passenger air bag sensor in the front passenger seat that was bad, and would cost over $6k to fix. My research suggests this is a known safety issue and a common problem with infinitis that should be recalled and corrected by nissan corp.
Airbag passenger seat sensor is faulty. Airbag system remains off even with no one in the seat. There are hundreds of people on forums reporting the same problem. Dealer suggested replacing the entire seat for $10,000. This is a safety issue that needs to be recalled.
The airbag light started blinking. I took it into the dealership and they said there was an issue with the passenger seat occupancy sensor; they need to replace the entire passenger seat. They said the airbags will not deploy at this time and total cost of repairs will be approx $8000. I was told this was "just something that happens" but when I searched online hundreds of people have the same complaint! This isn't like replacing brakes that have worn down; I've never used the airbags. And unless I pay $8k for a known malfunction, they won't deploy in an accident and the vehicle has lost all resale/trade-in value.
The seatbelt light started flashing and wont turn off.
Car has 59,000 miles and airbag code reading b1018 of a faulty passenger occupant sensor. Dealer was $4,000 just for the part. The car is valued at roughly $9,000.
Passenger air bag indicator shows passenger air bag to be off and light flashing on the dash. Reset once and then came back. Car only has 59,000 miles.
Airbag sensor faulty in passenger seat. Known issue among infiniti owners. Infiniti dealers stating that seat must be replaced, which costs upwards of $5000. Car only has 32k miles on it
The airbag light flashes red on the dash panel indicating the passenger airbag is not on. It also shows on the panel under the air conditioner controls that the passenger air bag is off. This is a safety issue and it is due to a faulty safety restraint system sensor the in the passenger bottom seat. Infiniti has had recalls and issues with this SRS system in the passenger seat while they did not recall the 20109 infiniti g37. My g37 has approximately 50,500 miles and they want over $6,700. 00 to replace the whole driver's seat. This is a defective product and someone needs to be held accountable. To turn off the blinking light requires the airbag system to be disabled. This presents a serious safety issue since I am now driving a vehicle without any airbag protection.
Air bag light flashing. I reset and it came back. This issue has been reported by many people. This is safety hazard and need to be fixed by nissan
Takata recall my car battery died to I had to charge it up and as soon as I got it too start the airbag sensor light came on for the front passenger seat. After multiple attempts to restart it, still failed and once someone sit on the seat it come right back on if not anyone on the seat as well.
Takata recall same problem as other have stated airbag light, due to passenger seat sensors. Also melting dashboard, that causes glare to visibility and a safety hazard if the airbags did work. Unfortunately, the airbags have been disabled due to the sensor. Both the dashboard and airbag sensors have been recalled in other nissan and infiniti models but not this model. Pretty much all the same parts for the the dash and airbags but this model has been excluded.
Airbag light flashing. Car has 75k miles on it. Took it to infiniti for repair. They say the passenger seat sensor is bad and needs to be replaced. They are saying it is not covered under warranty even though there are numerous reports of this issue.
I have a 2009 infiniti g37x with 36000 miles, bought new in july 2009. Just recently the air bag light started flashing. I took it to the infiniti dealer and was told it was the passenger air bag sensor in the front passenger seat that was bad, and would cost $6000.00 to fix. I see this seems to be a problem with many others, but don't see a recall yet?
My complaint is in regards to the unavailability of an airbag replacement part. I ordered a new passenger seat airbag sensor for our infinity g37 on may 23. The part has been on backorder since then, with the latest expected ship date(not arrival or repair date) being august 31, which is over three months! The dealership says that if one part of the airbag system has a fault, then the whole airbag system is disabled. So, I am driving a car with no airbags because the vehicle manufacturer doesn't have the part currently available, with no other solution given. This is after waiting for a month to get the inflated replacement cost lowered. For a part that compromises the safety of myself and any passengers, I find this delay unexceptable. The dealership can't do anything about it, so I filed a complaint with infinity consumer affairs. All they could do was confirm the expected ship date, and document my complaint.
Takata, failure of occupant sensor unit. Infiniti is refusing to do anything about. Wants to charge me $6000for a new seat. Warning light went out a few weeks after visit to dealer. Came back on may, 2018. Went to different dealer, same story.
Takata recall: flashing airbag signal on the dash after minor collision while standing in traffic. Collision center states it's not due to the collision as the front of the car air bag sensors are functional and not damaged. They state the passenger seat sensor for the airbag has malfunctioned. Sounds like this has happened to several other g37's. Hopefully is enough people voice their complaints then a recall will be initiated. I can't bear the thought of a loved one getting hurt because the sensor is not working and people can't afford to fix it.
Red air bag light began flashing and amber air bag "on/off" light randomly illuminates or doesn't with no passenger present in the passenger seat. Do not know if it is safe for passenger of infant seat to ride in that seat. Very expensive dealer repair. Should be a safety recall issue.
The car has 48,300 miles on it. There is a constant flashing airbag warning light on the dashboard when the car is on, whether driving or just parked. It flashes whether someone is seating in the seat or not. The light indicates an issue with the airbag/sensor in the passenger seat.
Takata recall airbag light blinking on the dash. Went to have it checked out and was told it was faulty passenger airbag module. Was not involved in any accident. I can see some airbag recall for other models and seems like mine is not included. Dealer refuse to do anything about it
Airbag warning light blinking. Per dealer this is caused by a faulty occupant sensor causing the airbag to not deploy. Dealer states part is 4400.00 and may not be available plus the cost to install could be near 2000 total around 6400.00. I would think that their airbag sensor would last longer than 9 years and the burden of such a high cost seems like price gouging not to mention they are not sure if part is readily available. Very dangerous situation for someone who paid good money for a vehicle that can not be safely driven.
Takata recall indicator light on dashboard for airbags is flashing constantly for past 2 months. Ironic that no recall for this particular model on a 2009 infiniti g37 has not been included, although other models are being recalled
Air bag problem indicator light comes on while driving. Dealership diagnosed to be faulty air bag and would need to replace that to begin with. Vehicle maintained regularly and no indications as to why air bag would need to be replaced. Other infiniti g37 car owners are also complaining about having to replace/fix faulty air bags, so looks like a systemic problem
The front seat occupancy-classification sensor (ocs) is not working. This has been ongoing for over a year. Nissan/infiniti has recalled millions of cars in 2013-1015 and had a voluntary inspection in 2008 and 2009 for this issue. However, my car is not included in the official recall. Upon online research, there are many others with my same make/model/year having the same issue and we are unable to get this resolved. I have contacted infiniti customer support and they have offered up to $2000 for me to get this fixed. However, the total repair for this is $6900, so I am still paying $5,000 for a repair on a 2009 vehicle with a known issue. Due to a design flaw in the cars, you cannot replace or repair the sensor, but you must replace the entire front passenger seat. The cost of this repair is over 50% of the total value of the car. I have been unable to use my car with occupants in the front seat for over a year for fear of a tragic issue if we had an airbag deployment. It is obvious from inifiniti's willingness to contribute $2000 that they know there is an issue with the car, but since it is not part of a recall, they claim that is the max they are able to provide. A father should not have to make the decision on whether his children are worth the $5000 repair when the issue is a known problem that has been pervasive throughout nissan/infiniti for years and even investigated by the federal safety agency already. I'm fearful that since my vehicle type is not as common that there were not enough complaints of that model to classify it as a recall. But, it uses the exact same parts as the other nissan's and infiniti's, so I do not understand how this is not covered.
Airbag warning light is blinking. Dealer said ocs (seat) sensors are malfunctioning. It cost $6200 to repair. Contact infiniti consumer affairs for help, but they refuse to assit. I believe 2009 g37 should be on the recall list. There is no reason the ocs sensor should fail.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37. While attempting to drive the vehicle, the front passenger air bag warning indicator intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to infiniti of memphis in bartlett, tn where it was diagnosed that the air bag seat sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
Airbag warning light are blinking. Dealer says seat sensors have malfunctioned and airbags won't deploy correctly in a wreck. They want over 6500 dollars to repair. There is a nissan recall on these parts in other models and the forums are full of g37 owners with the same problem but sine this model is not under recall, we have to pay to repair. This model needs to be added to the recall list. 71k miles, 100 % garage kept. No reason this should malfunction.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37 convertible. While a passenger was occupying the front passenger seat, the air bag warning sensor turned off. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer (gastonia nissan located at 2275 e franklin blvd gastonia, north carolina, 28054) where it was diagnosed that the orc sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was referred to an infiniti dealer. The contact reached out to infiniti of charlotte who stated that they would call back. The dealer called back and left the contact a voicemail stating that the failure was not included in the recall and the contact would have to pay for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that there were reports of the failure. The contact was provided with case number: 26607927. The failure mileage was approximately 80,298.
