OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I HAVE A 2007 INFINITI G35 WITH 144000 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.

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ON 2007 G35X WITH 87000 MILES. DEALER SAID IT WAS SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT AT A COST OF $5500 TO REPLACE. THESE SEAT AIRBSG SENSORS FOR 04-07 WERE RECALLED BUT MY CAR WAS MADE DECEMBER 2006, OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED. NOW I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO AIRBAG SYSTEM.

A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY INFINITI, A 2007 G35X MODEL OCCURRED RANDOMLY, WITH ODOMETER READING AROUND 160,000 MILES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLASH WITHOUT HAVING BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR IN ANYWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS MODULE WAS NOT DUE TO NEGLECT OR ERROR ON MY PART. UPON MY RESEARCH, I FOUND AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL ON 2006 AND SOME 2007 G35X INFINITI'S, BUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. A REPORT FOUND ON THE MOTOR SAFETY WEBSITE HTTPS://WWW.MOTORSAFETY.ORG/CATEGORY/INFINITI/ STATED THIS ISSUE AND RECALL IMPACTED MORE CARS THAN INITIALLY IDENTIFIED, INCLUDING MY MODEL AND YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI CORPORATION ASKING THEM FOR HELP COVERING THE COST OF THIS $6000 REPAIR BECAUSE THE INSPECTING MECHANIC STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A CAR WITH A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI CORPORATION DECLINED COVERING THE REPAIR NOR AGREED TO PROVIDE A $6000 CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER INFINITI VEHICLE SINCE THE VALUE OF A 2007 MODEL WITHOUT AIRBAG ISSUES IS ABOUT $4000.

ON QUITE A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN MY WIFE OR GROWN DAUGHTER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. EVERY TIME I LOOK TO MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T SITTING ODDLY IN A WAY THAT WOULD GIVE A FALSE READING TO THE SENSOR AND THEY AREN'T. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT IT IS "...OPERATING AS DESIGNED." I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PART OF TURNING OFF THE AIRBAG WHEN AN ADULT-SIZED PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT IS CONSIDERED "AS DESIGNED.". THIS WHOLE SITUATION MAKES ME QUITE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGER EVERY TIME I NOTICE THAT THE LIGHT IS ON. INFINITI SEEMS TO THINK THAT BY TELLING ME THAT THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM THAT EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT. THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT HOW I SEE IT! *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE. IT IS ACTUALLY THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNED OFF CONSIDERING THERE WAS ADULT IN A SEAT. I CHECKED FOR THE RECALL AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT INFINITI SAYS IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR WENT OUT. AT THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE I BOUGHT EXPENSIVE WARRANTY BUT IT DOESN'T COVER AIRBAG SYSTEM. I NOTICED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CARS.COM WEBSITE. WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL GONNA BREAK WHEN THEY BUY WARRANTY FOR THEIR VEHICLE? I WOULD NOT MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS BUT TO FIX THIS SMALL PROBLEM I HAVE TO SPEND $3481 BECAUSE TO REPLACE THIS SMALL SENSOR I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY OF THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS WHAT INFINITI SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME. 2007 INFINITI G35 HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE RECALL HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/AUTOS/INFINITI/G35/RECALLS/000035761000220718000000318/RECALL.ASPX. *TR
