Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The air bag sensor light on the dash has illuminated. This means that the switch in the seat does not detect an occupant so the air bag will no deploy in a crash. Infinit of memphis wants to charge $8000 to replace the seat! This is a safety hazard and should be a recall issue. I see many complaints on this website about the exact same issue. How do we initiate a manufacturer recall?”

“The passenger airbag off light turns on even if a passenger is sitting in passenger seat . I checked with inifiti and they say everything is fine but I still see the issue. In worst case if I met with an accident the passenger airbag might not open up. Can cause fatalities . I'm having this issue since 2 years”

“Infiniti should recall all affected G37 passenger air bag sensors. My Infiniti G37 journey sedan has an issue of passenger airbag off light turning on when even an adult sits on the passenger seat while the vehicle is moving. It seems like the speed of the vehicle does not change the result. The light does not come on all the time but it does come on often enough to concern me. My wife is about 110 pounds and the airbag sensor should detect her as an adult and it should activate in case of a collision. …”

“Takata recall: Infiniti recalled an entire line of cars with faulty air bags/seat sensors, but did not cover all cars. I have a 2011 Infiniti g37x with only 50k miles that I am being charged 7k to replace a seat cushion that has a failed sensor. This problem is widely known in a significant number of infinitis, yet the manufacturer will not repair obviouly faulty parts that were installed. This presents a massive saftey issue if I cannot afford a repair that I should never have to make. Name another car of any make/model that has seat cusions fail. …”

“My wife was pulling into her parking spot at work with her foot on the brake when the car suddenly lurched forward. She clearly remembers braking as normal when parking and had witnesses standing within 15 feet that noticed the sound of the brakes and the brake lights lit. My wife's head hit and cracked the windshield. In addition to head injuries, she has whiplash and other injuries. The front bumper was badly damaged along with fluids leaking from the engine. The air bags never deployed.”
