My 2009 infiniti g37 convertible has developed extensive cracks of the dash covering the frontal air bags. My safety concern is that the dash part would not respond as intended by designers during an airbag deployment, and cause injury to the vehicle occupants in spite of the expected airbag safety function. For instance, injury could be caused by dash splinters, detaching easily in correspondence of existing cracks, being thrown at large velocity towards vehicle occupants in the event of airbag deployment. One can readily imagine how dangerous these splinters would become, like darts delivered at ultrasonic speeds they could kill or permanently injure people. Infiniti already has a 10 year unlimited mile warranty for the seat belts, another safety-related function of a vehicle design. They should extend such a warranty to airbags, as well as associated equipment that may operate tightly, or be altered by design, in conjunction with an airbag deployment. G37 dash cracks are a well known design defect of g37 models, a simple online search will show that. The least infiniti should do is to make sure that such a cosmetic and functional defect would not also constitute a dangerous safety hazard.
2009 Infiniti G37 airbags complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 88 of 88, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The flashing airbag light on the dash is a constant event. This airbag light flashes indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This occurs all the time, whether there is a passenger in the front seat or not, and regardless of any passenger weight or height. The onboard diagnostics, based on the flashing pattern on the console, indicate a problem with the ocs (occupant classification system). Because of this issue, the passenger airbag will not deploy, creating a significant passenger safety hazard. The light flashes all of the time the vehicles has the power on, stopped or moving. Nissan has issued a recall for over a million vehicles globally for similar issues. However, my vehicle isn't included in this recall, even though there have been multiple recalls on older model g35/g37 and newer vehicles with the exact same issue. Therefore, my 2009 infiniti g37 should be included in this recall as well. I'm very concerned about this, because this is a huge safety issue!
The passenger side SRS warning light is on and indicates the airbag is disabled. There is also extensive cracking of the dash that could possibly alter airbag deployment. This seems to be an extremely frequent occurrence with these cars. The repair costs are in the multiple thousands of dollars, and this is obviously a significant safety hazard. Some models have had recalls for these issues, but apparently infinity has not included the 2009 model. Please investigate the issue further. There are numerous complaints and websites filled with complaints on the internet directed at this specific complaint.
Nissan/infiniti should recall the 2009 g37 airbags along with the others they have recalled. There is an issue with cracking melting dashes on many of the 2008/2009 dashes that may affect the ability of the airbag to deploy. My dash is cracking and melting (this also affects visibility) and infiniti says this is the responsibility of the individual. They know this is an issue as they extended the warranty and replaced the dashes of the infiniti fx models. Thank goodness I haven't had a wreck where my airbag has had to deploy, but why wait until it's too late. The 2009 infiniti needs to be included in the recall not only for the airbag, but the dash needs to be included to as the visibility is an issue with the glare from the melting dashes.
The airbag of the front row passenger seat turns off even there is an adult passenger sitting on it. I've searched online and did some diagnostics, and based on the flashing pattern on the console, it seems the problem is with the SRS (safety restrain system) ocs (occupant classification system), as such even an adult is sitting there, in an accident the airbay may not be deployed. This is a very serious threat to the safety of a passenger. Note my car has never been involved in any accident or collision. More google search LED me to this link: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/27/automobiles/nissan-recalls-990000-cars-and-trucks-for-air-bag-malfunction.html?hpw&rref=automobiles&_r=1 this is exactly the same problem with my car. While nissan recalled those car, I think the regulatory should enforce nissan to expand the recall to include my car (infiniti g37, 2009) and others. There are lots of similar complaints online.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger side air bag sensor failed. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer who confirmed the diagnosis and stated that if one air bag failed, they all would fail. The passenger air bag sensor and seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,017.
Just like the 2008, my 2009 g7 coupe passenger side airbag sensor is defective and no longer works. I called infiniti but was told that my 2009 did not qualify. They want over $4000 to replace the bottom cushion (without labor). $4000!!!! 2008 infiniti g37 air bags recall 08v521000. 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).
The material the dash board is made of melts at normal temperatures compromising the integrity of the dash board and visibility (it's reflective).
The passenger side airbag sensor is faulty. It says that the airbag is off even when someone is occupying the passenger seat. Infiniti quoted $7,000.00 to repair the sensor. The entire seat needs to be replaced. This is obviously a manufacturers defect.
The airbag light comes on indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This occurs anytime a passenger sits in the front seat, regardless of weight or height.
The airbag control module stopped functioning and triggered a fault message which the auto dealership diagnosed. No incident has occurred other than my airbags being nonfunctional. Is this part of a larger airbag problem, or an isolated problem?
Pass air bag light came on as it is malfunctioning. It will not go off. Took it to dealer in greenville sc they said that the sensor in the seat is likely the problem but did not know for sure. Cost would be between $1500 and $3000 to replace. I called infinity service nationwide they said there is no recall. I see on this reporting website that this is happening to others and that it also was an issue with the 2008 g35 and that for the 2008 it is a recall issue. This should be a recall for the 2009 g37 also.
While driving with a passenger, the passenger airbag sensor indicated that the airbag was off. I reported it to infiniti, and they could not duplicate the problem. This has happened on at least a half a dozen or more occasions. It occurs at all speeds. When infiniti checked into the issue they asked me how much the passenger weighed. The passenger has been myself and my boyfriend on various occasions. We each weigh about 170 pounds - no excuse for the airbag being off. Now that there is a recall, I am wondering why my infiniti g35 is not included in this recall. It obviously has the same issue. Should we have an accident, and this issue is occurring, we fear that we will not have the safety that I intended to have when I purchased the vehicle.
This is a frequent event that I just noticed a few months ago. When someone is in the front passenger seat of the vehicle, the airbag light comes on indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This occurs anytime a passenger sits in the front seat, regardless of weight or height. Today I also noticed that nissan has issued a recall for 1,053,479 vehicles globally for similar issues. However, my vehicle isn't included in this recall however there have been multiple reports of older model g35/g37 vehicles with the exact same issue. I think that my 2009 infiniti g37 should be included in this recall as well. I'm very concerned about this, because this is a huge safety issue!

Airbag sensor light for front passenger randomly does not register adults occupying seat. We have not recognized any pattern/seating positions that will duplicate the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37 coupe. While driving 35 MPH he hit a pot hole; in which the air bags deployed. After deployment, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel. He contacted the dealer, and he was advised to contact his insurance company.

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37. The air bag off light illuminated intermittently and remained on which meant that even if an adult was sitting in the front passenger seat the air bag would not deploy. The light illuminated more frequently while driving longer distances. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and stated that there was nothing to repair. He contacted the manufacturer and has not received a response. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was approximately 4,800 and the failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
