Airbag light continuously flashes, I read that there were recalls with Nissan/Infiniti airbags and my model and year was included so I took it to the dealer to have it checked. Infiniti of Lynnwood can't find the problem, they said all the sensors were fine and diagnosed it as; "98820-3JA9B - Sensor-Side Airbag center. Airbag diagnosis sensor to start, this is the first step, will have to test further if not corrected after replacement". The service dealer said that it's the first step to figure out what's wrong, the quote was $2,120.96, he said it might fix it and can be a money pit. My concern is that my car might have been missed in the airbag recall.

Supplemental restraint system side control module has failed. I have got it checked to find out that this part is notorious for failing. It makes it so the airbags will not work in an accident. My airbag light was blinking and I took it in to get repaired only to find that the restraint system is broke and is NOT easy or cheap to fix. I feel like since the airbags not working is a huge safety issue I feel as if there should be something done about this

Airbag light just came on out of nowhere. Took to dealership and they stated they needed to replace the whole system. Calling it an airbag control unit internal failure. States it’s 2300 to fix. Makes no sense why it went out. I’m driving on it until the airbag recall is finished.

Airbag light flashing in dashboard; passenger front seat sensor not working- showing unoccupied when occupied with adult. VIN # not showing as part of recall, yet this is a known issue with the model/year. Interesting a common trend with certain VIN #s like mine shown on the federal safety agency complaints page. Another recall campaign needed to include these VIN numbers. Have reported several times to the dealership. I've now paid $1000 to repair the airbag sensors, and problem is not resolved. Nissan is responsible and this is a safety issue. NTSHA needs to do another recall campaign.

We bought this car, used, on january 18, 2020 and an ibs light turned on a couple weeks after I bought it but later turned off. Now february 22 the airbag light started to blink as I was driving on a city street. A week later, today february 29 it is still continuing to blink. I have seen many recalls about this issue on other 2013 infiniti jx35s. Also, before I bought it the car dealership took it for a check up at the infiniti dealership and the air bag issue was also a problem then.

2nd passenger airbag light is always on. No front passenger airbag protection. Had a recall r1606 done, but trouble came right back. Appears there is another recall pc217 for more extensive repairs but infiniti says my VIN not included. It sure appears it should be included, exact troubles. This appears to be a huge nissan issue.

Air bags: sensor: occupant classificationReported April 26, 2016 · 3,296,947 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Risk
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1‑800‑867‑7669, Infiniti customer service at 1‑888‑833‑3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1‑800‑222‑1020.

Air bags: sensor: occupant classificationReported October 20, 2015 · 919 vehicles affected
What is wrong

The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
Risk
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
