In owners' own words
My passenger air bag light started suddenly flashing on the instrument panel while a passenger was in the seat. The air bag light sensor shows the air bag isnât on, even when a passenger is seated. This causes concern because if an accident occurs, it is likely the air bag will not deploy as it appears to be disabled by the sensor. The has been a widely reported problem and should be recalled due to faulty sensor. Air bags
Air bag warning light would not go off. Took it to a dealership and was told the problem is "occupancy sensor unit failure". Need to replace the occupancy sensor and control unit, at a cost of $6,888. I am appalled that Infiniti does not have a recall concerning this safety issue!! If an accident occurs, the airbags will not deploy. Infiniti is supposed to be a high quality car. So disappointing! Air bags
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? Air bags · reported at 41,000 miles
