This Problem Across All Years
I have been having issues with my passenger airbag warning light. The issue is warning light will not go out. I took my vehicle to an Infiniti dealer for a diagnostic. Dealer found code DTC B1018 OCS unit failure. Much to my disbelief and, dealer recommends new passenger side air bag diagnoses module and lower seat frame before further diagnosis. What really angered me was the price to repair a safety issue on this vehicle that wasn't caused by an accident or repair . The quoted module price was $1275.00, price for lower seat frame is $7695.00. Note, this is the price for parts and didn't include labor. At that point, I didn't ask what the labor cost was because I was flabbergasted and taken aback by the the excessively high price for repair. After reading 100's of forums, many are having the same issue with their Infinities and other Nissan Vehicles. Infinity and NHTSA must be aware of this massive problem and Infiniti/Nissan needs to correct this flaw in engineering at the companies expense. We as consumers who pay a lot for these vehicles should be protected. My concern is I have lupus and Arthritis and have chronic pain daily and need my car for numerous doctors visits. Since my health diagnosis I haven't been able to work the past seven years and can't afford to pay over $ 9000.00 to fix a otherwise good running vehicle but also can't afford to get into a car accident because the airbag will not deploy. Since I do have an illness, a car accident without a working airbag system my injuries or worst would be exacerbated by this Infiniti/Nissan flaw in engineering. Please advise as I need assistance with getting my car repaired.

My passenger air bag light started suddenly flashing on the instrument panel while a passenger was in the seat. The air bag light sensor shows the air bag isn’t on, even when a passenger is seated. This causes concern because if an accident occurs, it is likely the air bag will not deploy as it appears to be disabled by the sensor. The has been a widely reported problem and should be recalled due to faulty sensor.

I am writing the complaint to inform you and request an investigation into the Infiniti Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) passenger seat sensor. I recently purchased a 2011 Infiniti G37x sedan with approximately 62,251 miles on June 28th, 2021. This vehicle has had one owner prior to me and has a clean CarFax report with no issued accidents or collisions reported, based on the overall evaluation from an independent repair shop. The main issue experienced with the G37x vehicle and the reason for the manufacturer should create a safety recall was the air bag seat sensor was malfunctioning, as verified by an independent mechanic. I have experienced other vehicle manufacturers issue voluntary recalls and repairs because these passenger occupancy sensors may degrade and fail to detect a passenger in the front seat. This appears to be a very common recall issue. The fault code presented from the ODB-II confirmed to be the air bag seat sensor was malfunctioning and required to be replaced/repaired completely, or all the airbags would not deploy at all to the passenger and both the driver. I am therefore requesting that INFINITI/Nissan North America to investigate and note this experience/issue with the air bag seat sensor and issue a recall for this particular issue to the owners of such affected vehicles. I deem that there is a risk of many vehicles that are having a similar issue with the seat sensor which will cause the air bag system to not function properly in the event of an accident or collision when the air bag would needed to be deployed. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE VEHICLE SHOULD STILL BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY RISK.

MY INFINITI HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. NOTHING AT ALL HAPPENED TO CAUSE MY PROBLEM - NO ACCIDENT, NOTHING SPECIAL. IT JUST SUDDENLY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, NOW HAS A FLASHING INDICATOR THAT REPRESENTS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG THAT WILL CAUSE IT TO FAIL MASSACHUSETTS STATE INSPECTION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN INFINITI OF NASHUA IN NH. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM, NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS THEMSELVES. ALAS, THE SENSOR CAN ONLY BE FIXED MY REPLACING THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY. I WAS ASSURED THAT THIS WAS VERY MINOR IN TERMS OF LABOR (MAYBE A COUPLE OF HOURS), BUT THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PURCHASE AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE PART. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $10,000 FOR A CAR THAT IS NOW WORTH ABOUT $12,000. WHEN I DID NOT JUMP AT THIS OFFER, THEY CONTACTED ME THREE DAYS LATER TO SAY THAT INFINITI USA WAS OFFERING ME A DISCOUNT AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SENSOR (VIA THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY) FOR $7000. I HAVE SINCE GONE TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE PART COSTS ABOUT $6500. SO NOT ONLY WAS INFINITI OF NASHUA TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME (PERHAPS BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN), INFINITI USA IS TRYING TO GET ME TO PAY $6500 FOR A FREAKING SENSOR. MY CAR IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO INTO THE TRASH HEAP. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE DISCUSSING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR EITHER FIXING THE PROBLEM - IT IS A MASSIVE DESIGN FLAW THAT PUTS PASSENGER AT RISK AND MAKES THEIR VEHICLES WORTHLESS FAR BEFORE THEIR TIME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER INFINITI AGAIN AND WILL BADMOUTH THEM AT ANY OPPORTUNITY.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN BLINKING. I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED AND THE DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE COST IS $7,000. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE SEAT. SO, NO AIRBAG WILL BE DEPLOYED IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? THIS SHOULD BE ON THE MAKER OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT THE CONSUMER.

INFINITI SHOULD RECALL ALL AFFECTED G37 PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS. MY INFINITI G37 JOURNEY SEDAN HAS AN ISSUE OF "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT" TURNING ON WHEN EVEN AN ADULT SITS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE THE RESULT. THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES COME ON OFTEN ENOUGH TO CONCERN ME. MY WIFE IS ABOUT 110 POUNDS AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR SHOULD DETECT HER AS AN ADULT AND IT SHOULD ACTIVATE IN CASE OF A COLLISION. HOWEVER, WHEN THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT IS ON WHEN AN ADULT SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND INFINITI SHOULD ADDRESS IT TO INSURE BASIC SAFETY OF ITS OCCUPANTS. ACCORDING TO THE WWW.MYG37.COM FORUM THERE ARE MANY G37 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. YET THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUED YET. INFINIT DEALERS SAY THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR AND THE WHOLE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED AND ITS COST IS ABOUT $8,000 AND THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL PRICE.
