The Air Bag Warning Light on the dash blinks continuously and the Front Passenger Air Bag Status Light remains on whether or not the seat is occupied. I took the car to the Infiniti dealer. The Service Advisor said the Occupant Classification System Control Unit or OCS sensor needs to be replaced but Infiniti no longer provides this part; and furthermore, Infiniti advises against owner replacing the unit with a used part. I asked the Service Adviser what solution does Infiniti suggest and he said Infiniti does not suggest any solution. I contacted Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department. The Infiniti representative said the vehicle is more than 10 years old and Infiniti no longer manufactures the part; therefore, there is nothing they can do. I then asked the Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department what will happen in a situation where the airbags would normally be deployed considering the airbag warning light continues to blink and the “PASS AIR BAG” “2 OFF” is lit? I was told to ask to contact the dealer for their response. I wanted a response from Infiniti proper, the manufacturer, so I asked again. And again they said to contact the dealer. The dealer said all the airbags would be deployed at the same time and that there was no safety issue. Quoting from an Infiniti Service Bulletin Owner's Letter in the past: "If the red air bag warning light in your vehicle continuously flashes after the vehicle is started, please take your vehicle to the dealership as soon as possible. In the interim do not allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat. If the dealer fails, or is unable to make the necessary repairs free of charge, you may contact the National Consumer Affairs Department, Infiniti Division, Nissan North America, Inc., P.O. Box 685003, Franklin, TN 37068-5003. The toll free number is 1‑800‑662‑6200. You may also contact the Administrator, the federal safety agency..." Infiniti admitted this is a safety issue.

Vehicle has hesitation during acceleration, it lags and transmission is unresponsive most of the times. There are other times that the vehicles transmission will downshift and rev up while coasting down hill while foot is off accelerator. Vehicle only has 59k miles on it and should not be having this issue. It's like the transmission just doesn't know what gear it should be in. Infiniti needs to fix a clear design problem!

I'd like to report a problem that has occurred with my 2011 infiniti m37 which seems to be pretty fatal. The plastic cover that covers the steering wheel's rod cracks open when the steering wheel is tilted to a lower position. Once the cover is cracked, steering wheel rubs on to the plastic behind it and makes the steering wheel nearly impossible to steer. If someone faced this issue by changing their steering wheel position while driving, it will surely lead to a fatal accident. This issue seems to happen to other vehicles as well according to the forum link attached: http://forums.nicoclub.com/steering-wheel-rubbing-plastic-housing-t609452.html I have tried to contact infiniti regarding this issue and the answer I received was that there's nothing they could do since I am out of warranty. However, that part of the vehicle is barely used nor touched which makes this a manufacturing defect but no one wants to be responsible for this.

I have several issues. The steering wheel peels. I have a cracked driver's side leather interior door. The car started jerking really bad on a city street, I couldn't go over 35 MPH. My 4was motor has gone bad! Infiniti dealership, cannot explain what would have caused the motor, to go bad. All of the car's safety features, are connected to this 4was motor. So, when that 4was light comes on, all of the safety features are turned off. This includes: intelligent cruise control, 4was, blind spot detection, lane departure, stability control, and sport mode! The cost is $8500! I purchased this car in 2011.

The leather and vinyl that is installed on the interior components of the car are very poor quality. My seats, door panel, and center console are cracking. The interior of my car looks terrible. Considering that infiniti is a leisure line automobile, it is appalling that they would cut corners on the car's interior by using such low quality materials. I will never buy another infiniti.

Infiniti uses poor quality leather and vinyl in the interior of their cars. The leather and vinyl on my door panel, center console, and seat have cracked. I am very disappointed with the interior of my car. Considering that infiniti is a luxury auto manufacturer, the interior quality is appauding. This will be the last infiniti that I purchase.

4was and stability control warning lights stay on while driving the car. The rear of the car is very unstable, sways, jerks and steering wheel is off-center.the steering wheel is never centered and drifts in one direction with a new alignmnet. Infiniti has recommended replacing the hicas actuator. This has not resolved the problem for infiniti owners and are then recommended to replace the 4was control box. Replacing the control box also does not resolve the issue. I have read and joined a nissan/infiniti forum where owners that have this exact problem have followed the recommendation from the nissan and infiniti dealership and still have the warning lights on. I contacted infiniti corporate offices for further information, but was informed they do not track this type of information. The 4was and stability control warning lights issue is happening to both nissan and infiniti models and throughout various years. The concern is that infiniti's recommendation it to replace the hicas actuator and spend $6k (part cost $5,500 and labor $400, but that does not resolve the problem. According to the information I have found, infiniti is not accurately diagnosing the problem. I have been I near catastrafic incidents due to this wide spread infiniti sport owners issue.
