“Passenger air bag light would light up (meaning air bag will not deploy) when my wife (117 lbs) was seated on the front passenger seat. This was also happening on my 2010 nissan frontier pro 4x truck with leather seats. Nissan dealer could not fix it. They were blaming my wife. This is a safety issue! Please help. Thank you!”

“Passenger airbag sensor failed and results in a $7000 fix. Their solution to the problem is a brand new seat. My son exited the vehicle and the airbag light started blinking and now doesn't stop, which means the airbag isn't on. Also, one of the motors responsible for a flap which folds the top down has failed, making the top stop halfway down. The convertible top has four motors (one for each flap). And it's nearly $2000 per motor. The part is back ordered, so it makes me think it is a common problem. Both of these issues are commonly reported by G37 owners on the internet.”

“Passenger air bags on my G37 its being turned off with a passenger seating in the seat. First started with my daughter age 17 weights about 120 pounds and Infiniti stated that their airbags are activated by weight and that she may be too small which she is 5'4 tall. They didn't address the issue and it continued to happen with everyone seating in the passenger seat including an adult male of 6'2 and over 200 lbs. I took it back to Infiniti of tampa and they didn't address the issue. …”

“In my 2013 Infiniti G37 front 'passenger airbag off' light comes on and stays on (means passenger side air bag is disabled) even when a grownup person weighing over 100 pounds sitting on passenger seat, putting front passenger at risk in case of a crash. It seems occupant classification system (ocs) is not working as it should making car computer think that a child is sitting on front passenger seat. I have had my car checked by dealer twice but they did not find anything wrong and stated that it's working as designed but the issue still persist. …”

“I was in a parking lot. I backed out when I started to shift into drive the car accelerated and started to spin in circles. The steering wheel locked. I was not in control of the car and nothing would worked in the car. I couldn't shift gears so I shoved it into park. The car finally stopped but not before it hit an island causing $7822 in damages to the rear of the car. The air bags did not deploy. I was quite shaken up but had no serious injury. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted at the local and regional levels. …”
