Because I bought the car used in June of this year, around July, the driver's and passenger's side airbag warning lights on the display panel started flashing, then disappeared after a few days. After August, they kept flashing and then stopped altogether. I took it to an Infiniti dealership for inspection, and the mechanic reported that the airbag sensors were malfunctioning and there was no connection between the airbags and the computer system platform, and that other problems might even be discovered during the repair process. This result seriously affects my driving safety, and I believe it's a quality issue with the car's performance, not a problem caused by driving a used car.

What owners say
supplemental air bag warning light is on. also the passenger airbag light is on.
The contact owns a 2015 Infiniti QX60. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light on the passenger’s side continuously flashed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed the failure with the air bag. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,483.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 infiniti qx60. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced per the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v381000 (air bags), but the remedy caused the air bag warning indicator to remain illuminated. The contact mentioned that the dealer failed to diagnose or repair the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 10,418.
We purchased a new 2015 qx 60 infinity in may, 2015. We noticed when my wife sat in the front passenger seat, the air bag light went on indicating the air bag would not deploy in an accident. During the 6 month servicing, I mentioned this to the infinity service dept. And was told they would reset the sensor to zero. They also said that if the system thought my wife was a child based on her weight, the airbag would be turned off. After the service the problem continued. During the 12 month servicing, I again mentioned the issue and was told there was a recall on the sensor. Three weeks later they called to say the qx 60 was ready. When I picked it up they again said if my wife was less than a certain weight, the air bag would not deploy. Now the seat belt light is on all the time whether my wife is in the vehicle or not. We were not aware or informed of this issue prior to buying the car. It makes no sense that an infinity air bag will not deploy with my wife in the passenger seat when there has never been an issue on amy other car we have owned. To me, this is a significant safety issue.

Air bags: sensor: occupant classification
- 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 classification
- 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.
