“Infinity has a voluntary recall, nstsa #08v-521 for the passenger air bag occupant sensor (ocs) on 2008 infinity G35 with error code b1022. My car has error code b1018 with is the same issue and they will not replace the sensor. They want to charge me $7000 to replace the seat bottom. This should be covered under the recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11093953, filed 2018-05, 108,000 miles

“Air bag light has been on for six months; local dealership said it would cost between $5,000 bs $6,000 to fix passenger seat airbag inflator -- because it required the replacement of the entire seat frame. Car has 21,000 miles on it. I bought it new. No accident; I find no record of a recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10992462, filed 2017-05, 20,000 miles

“Air bag warning light for the passenger seat remains on. I took it to the dealer but was told that I had to pay (nearly $4000) to test the problem and then to replace the seat. Dealer never told me that the car with this problem was subject to a recall, which started in november 2008.”

NHTSA complaint #10629955, filed 2014-09, 100,000 miles

“My 2008 Infiniti G35 airbag and passenger airbag lights illuminated. I reset the lights and checked the wiring under the passenger seat but the lights came on again. I took the car to the dealer and they came up with code b1018, occupant sensor (unit fail) past code. They reset the lights and recommend changing the passenger seat bottom if the lights returned. The cost?....$6137 but they will give me a discount, charging me $4176. This model was recalled for this problem but not my car...according to the VIN. …”

NHTSA complaint #10678921, filed 2015-01, 78,386 miles

“We are having a reoccurring problem of the front passenger seat airbag sensor not working. The vehicle has a light which illuminates when the passenger airbag is not armed for deployment. The first time we took it to the Infiniti dealership they said they could not replicate the problem. It continued to be a problem for us intermittently for over a year. My main concern was always that if we (my wife and I) were involved in a front end collision that the airbag may not deploy and she could be injured as a result. Finally, a couple weeks ago, the light came on again. …”
