Car has 59,000 miles and airbag code reading b1018 of a faulty passenger occupant sensor. dealer was $4,000 just for the part. the car is valued at roughly $9,000.
When having my windshield replaced, the seat carriage became loose from the frame of the car. this has rendered the seat in a precarious and awkward position, especially if the seat were to break away while driving and an accident were to occur. there is a lot of information online regarding multiple infiniti cars with the seat carriage unhinging from the base of vehicle. this renders the seat in a static or loose position and unless repaired by infiniti, there may be severe consequences. infiniti wants to charge $2800 for the parts and labor which is extortion! this company needs to be responsible for their faults.
The car has 48,300 miles on it. there is a constant flashing airbag warning light on the dashboard when the car is on, whether driving or just parked. it flashes whether someone is seating in the seat or not. the light indicates an issue with the airbag/sensor in the passenger seat.
Airbag warning light are blinking. dealer says seat sensors have malfunctioned and airbags won't deploy correctly in a wreck. they want over 6500 dollars to repair. there is a nissan recall on these parts in other models and the forums are full of g37 owners with the same problem but sine this model is not under recall, we have to pay to repair. this model needs to be added to the recall list. 71k miles, 100 % garage kept. no reason this should malfunction.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 infiniti g37. while attempting to drive the vehicle, the front passenger air bag warning indicator intermittently illuminated. the vehicle was taken to infiniti of memphis in bartlett, tn where it was diagnosed that the air bag seat sensor failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
The airbag of the front row passenger seat turns off even there is an adult passenger sitting on it. i've searched online and did some diagnostics, and based on the flashing pattern on the console, it seems the problem is with the srs (safety restrain system) ocs (occupant classification system), as such even an adult is sitting there, in an accident the airbay may not be deployed. this is a very serious threat to the safety of a passenger. note my car has never been involved in any accident or collision. more google search led me to this link: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/27/automobiles/nissan-recalls-990000-cars-and-trucks-for-air-bag-malfunction.html?hpw&rref=automobiles&_r=1 this is exactly the same problem with my car. while nissan recalled those car, i think the regulatory should enforce nissan to expand the recall to include my car (infiniti g37, 2009) and others. there are lots of similar complaints online.
