My passenger seat weight sensor is malfunctioning going on and off at various times into the drive and various weighted passengers. this seems to be a very common problem on my 2012 g37 sport and the seat (sensor cannot be changed out so have to buy the whole seat) ranges between $5000 and $8000. this seems to me to be a safety issue, what were to happen if any one of us having this issue were to get into an accident with a passenger? from what ive read the passenger air bag will not go off with this light on so therefore my passengers safety is at risk because of a very common issue from infinity. light goes on and off even sitting stationary.
I brought in my 2012 for maintenance at an infiniti service dealer. i received a "new" battery as i was told the battery needed replacement soon. come to find out, the "new" battery was actually a faulty component and my car would not start. i brought it in for diagnostics and they said nothing was wrong. i told them that it must be the battery since i never had that issue before. the battery issue continued and i would have to jump my car off. the day i had to bring it back to infiniti, i had to jump off the car and right after i did, the airbag light began flashing and codes indicated a faulty diagnosis sensor unit for the airbag. they then did their diagnostics again and determined that the battery itself was the problem in the car-starting issue, yet the infiniti bag light continued to blink. the dealer said the cost would be $1600 to replace the sensor/control unit. the airbag has never been deployed and i never had issues until the battery replacement with a faulty battery and thus creating the need to jump start the vehicle. the light came on right after a jump start. i never saw the light before that.
Passenger airbag light blinks. took car to dealer and they said the seat bottom needs replacing as it is an occupancy sensor failure. cost for part is $6500.00. cost to install and reset is $500. that repair is half the value of what it is worth. i called infinity'not under warranty or recall. have read online that multiple owners of these models are having same issue. i feel that this is a potential safety-related defect in the vehicle.
