2014 Q60 Infiniti airbag light flashing, compromising the passenger airbag. The dealer wants over $5-7000 to replace the seat, because of the sense pressure plate failure, indicating an adult sitting in seat, and not a child getting injured. Infiniti redesigned their newer seats, because of this problem, so they knew about it and did nothing to resolve this issue for consumers. There is a recall for the 2014 Qx50 Airbag Diagnostic airbag sensor unit, newer design, "which the Q60 doesn't have", resulting in a cheaper fix. I feel Infiniti only worried about their bottom line, and not the safety of our bottom, being in the seat. Sincere and in need of help!

My car started showing "airbag light" blinking out of the blue. I only have 45k miles on the car. When I went to the dealer, they suggested that is should change the entire passenger seat @ 6000 dollars for a Occupancy sensor issue. I even tried talking to Infiniti USA with no avail. they were not willing to help me at all. NHTSA has recalled just about every model of Nissan and Infiniti from 2009 - 2016 or thereabouts for the exact same problem except a Q60 convertible. there are multiple complaints from owners about this issue and how frustrating it is to be spending 6k for a small sensor issue. I am looking for answers and have not been able to resolve it with either the dealer or the manufacturer.

WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT THE SRS SYSTEM FAULTS OUT CAUSING AN ERROR CODE IN THE SRS SYSTEM. STATING AN OCS MALFUNCTION. THE ERROR CODE SAYS TO REPLACE OCS CONTROL UNIT AND SENSOR. THE SRS SYSTEM SHUTS OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG BECAUSE THE SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT AN OCCUPANT IN THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE SRS SYSTEM AND CONFIRMED THE ERROR CODE. I CALLED INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO ATTEMPT TO GET THEM TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR AS THE COST OF REPAIR IS $11,497.79. THEY TURNED ME DOWN FLAT. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF A CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM/ISSUE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE IN THE YEARS THAT MY CAR WAS MADE. BUT MY PARTICULAR MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON GOOGLE AND THERE ARE OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE FROM MY MODEL AND YEAR. SO I'M STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE CAR THRU NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I CAN'T TAKE MY WIFE OR ANY OTHER PASSENGER ON TRIPS WITH ME IN GOOD CONSCIOUS THAT THEY WOULD BE SAFE BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS ERROR EFFECTIVELY SHUTS OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I CAN'T SELL IT BECAUSE AS SOON AS SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE SRS SYSTEM ERROR STARTS FLASHING AND THE AIRBAG IS SHUT OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CASE NUMBER WITH INFINITY CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS 47870295.

The airbag light on the dashboard is flashing. The car has 36,157 actual miles and Infiniti says that it is out of warranty. The local Infiniti dealer researched the problem and found that there is a defective sensor in the passenger seat bottom. The dealer says that Infiniti can only suggest replacing the entire seat at a cost exceeding $9,000. The sensor can't be replaced any other way. A local independent auto repair shop confirmed all of this information and also offered that Infiniti is the only car manufacturer they know of that requires a total seat replacement. My feeling is that this is a safety defect that has an impossibly high repair cost. I feel that this justifies a recall order.
