2012 Infiniti M37 Air bags Problems

“Passenger side front airbag sensor turns off airbag when an adult is seated there. This occurs almost every time I have a passenger in that seat. I can occasionally get it to turn airbag on by shutting car off and restarting, sometimes it takes 3 cycles of off/on. Most times it still won't reset and my passenger has to move to a rear seat. This happens even with a 200 lb. Man seated there. This is my 4th Infiniti and they've all had this issue. Infiniti should be held accountable and make needed repairs to the airbag sensor”

“Passenger airbag sensor has failed and the dealer has quoted me a price of $7019 to repair it, saying the seat has to be replaced.

“The front passenger airbag light went on in my 2012 Infiniti m-37 upon starting it the morning of 10/09/2020. I brought it into my local tampa Infiniti dealership on 10/21/2020 where I purchased the car and have had over 90% of the servicing completed. My service advisor michael english explained to me that it would cost over $7104 to replace the bottom of the front passenger seat. In addition a diagnostic sensor would likely need to be replaced at a cost of $450. He also told me that this problem is one that occurs in a number of Infiniti automobiles of this type. …”

“The contact owns a 2012 Infiniti M37. The contact stated that the front passenger's side air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was quoted a diagnostic fee and declined to pay the fee. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.”

“The front passenger airbag warning light came on with a dash warning flashing light. I isolated the fault to the passenger seat weight sensor, which prevents the airbag from deploying when a passenger of less than 90 pounds is sensed in the front seat. The time from the onset of the warning light to discovery of the actual fault was less than a week and this was facilitated by a mechanic with a sophisticated enough OBD reader to flesh out Infiniti codes. …”
