My passenger airbag light is on and when I reported it to Infiniti, they told me it was the airbag sensor in the seat and that the entire seat would need to be replaced for a cost of over $2000.00. I understand there was a previous recall for the previous years, but not for 2010 models. In speaking with other Infiniti owners, I understand this is a common issue with the G37. Why has there not been a recall issued?

Passenger side airbag sensor has failed - this is a serious threat to human life in case of an accident and I'm pretty sure this is illegal. I purchased the car March 2021 from a dealer in San Jose, and this did not show on the carfax report, nor did the dealer inform me of this defect. BaseD on my research this is a common problem with other G37's of the same year and into 2011. Infiniti of Beaverton, OR has quoted $7,000.00 to repair which is a little less than half the cost of the car's value. INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS IT IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND IS A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE!
Passenger seat sensor has failed, causing the system to be inoperative. Based on research, this is a common problem which was addressed on some nissan/infiniti models, but not the g37 convertible. The cost to repair is prohibitive at $9000.
Front passenger seat occupancy classification sensor (ocs) fault: b1018-00. This means that passenger airbag is disabled along with warning lights on the dash and console. Car has only 35k and garage kept and dealer maintained. This is a known issue on many infiniti / nissan models that have an official recall, but not on the 2010 g37 for some reason even though it uses the same sensor as other models which do have a recall. Informed by the dealer that they see a lot of this issue and the only way to restore passenger safety is to replace the seat which upwards of $6900. Even if I wanted to replace the seat, I was also informed that there are no replacement seats or internal parts available so I'm on my own! Due to this common design flaw in infiniti / nissan cars that share this same exact issue, this model should be covered by the same recall.the other models have. My vehicle uses the same exact parts as the recalled ones, has the same issues, and yet because of smaller number of complaints because there are just less of them on the road, they are excluded from the same recall. This safety issue should be recalled immediately before someone gets killed.
Passenger seat airbag sensor has failed, so the airbag will not deploy. Dash warning light remains illuminated while in operation. Spoke to infiniti and was told to take to a dealer for diagnostics and they confirmed no recall currently. Spoke to the local infiniti dealer who states they must diagnose the problem and charge for the service. Seat sensor has failed and repair includes the replacement of the passenger seat, which costs around $9k. The current trade in value of the car is $5-8k. No one can safely ride in the passenger seat of this vehicle. This safety issue should be recalled by infiniti.
Faulty passenger airbag sensor. This is a huge safety concern, and having to pay $6000 to fix it is just ridiculous.
