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!
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?
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that while at a stop, the vehicle independently accelerated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer multiple times who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The contact was unsure what part needed to be replaced. In addition, while at a stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle independently accelerated. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and sent a specialist to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 45,000.

I was stopped at red light and driver behind me did not see the light. She rear ended me at an approx speed of 30-35 MPH. The force of the hit pushed my car into the one in front of me, resulting in a 4 vehicle accident. At the time of impact, my glasses came off of my face and I hit the windshield - my seat belt did not lock. The force of the crash bent the frame, destroyed the trunk, and resulted in a total loss. I sustained a moderate to sever concussion, along with whiplash and persistent headaches.
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 2010 Infiniti G37 convertible's airbag light started flashing a month or so ago. I recently brought the vehicle in for service and they charged me $149 to inform me that the passenger airbag unit in the seat had a bad sensor/relay and the cost to replace it is $7,500. You cannot just replace the relay, but rather have to replace the entire bottom of the seat unit. In most other cars, it is a few hundred dollar fix and only requires replacing the sensor/relay. I called Infiniti consumer affairs and informed them of this and they said there are no recalls on their airbag units and that nothing could be done about this issue, other than paying $7,500 to replace the unit. The part number is "87300-jj84a - cushion". This is the second Infiniti vehicle that I have had issues with the airbags. …
The air bag warning light is blinking and the passenger seat air bag light does not go off when the seat is occupied. I took the car to an Infiniti dealer in dayton, ohio and was told the fix to correct this problem was over $7000. Feel this is like a rans viable options and therefore can charge whatever they can. This has destroyed the resale value of my car and put any passengers at risk of the air bag not deploying. If you go on the internet you can see that there are many customers complaining about the same issue. I think Infiniti has no real desire to correct this situation. They leave the owner in a no win situation - either play the ransom or put loved ones at risk. I wonder how many Infiniti"s are on the road today without an operative passenger air bag. When the light started blinking I was driving from south carolina to ohio. …
Occupant classification system malfunction. I have a 2010 Infiniti G37 with 89000 miles, never had any accident before. Recently the air bag light started flashing for no apparent reason. I took it to the Infiniti dealer and was told it was the passenger air bag sensor in the front passenger seat that was bad, and would cost several thousands dollar to fix. After doing research it suggests this is a very common problem that many Infiniti/Nissan owners are currently have. Nissan has recall for this particular problem for very selected vehicle but I think a wider range of recall should be done by Infiniti/Nissan.
