2009 Infiniti G37

WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE CAR RPMS WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2500 RPMS. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO STALL. I HAVE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST TO A STOP FROM 70 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. MANY POSTS I'VE READ THAT INFINITI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT I HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION. THE ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND KNOW OF MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FROM POSTS ONLINE.

'TAKATA RECALL' 2009 G37 INFINITI CRACKED DASH AND STARTING TO GET STICKY SEEMS TO BE A POOR QUALITY PROBLEM ON 2008 & 2009 INFINITI G37 I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I LIKE THE CAR AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE CAR, CONTACTED INFINTI AND THEY SAY HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR DUE TO FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED .THESE DASHBOARDS ARE COSTLY TO REPLACE AND SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER ,I ALSO HAVE A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE DASHBOARD IS IN PERFECT CONDITION HOW CAN THIS BE AND OLDER CAR WITH A BETTER DASHBOARD THAN LUXURY CAR

AIR BAG PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED TO BE FAULTY AIR BAG AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THAT TO BEGIN WITH. VEHICLE MAINTAINED REGULARLY AND NO INDICATIONS AS TO WHY AIR BAG WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. OTHER INFINITI G37 CAR OWNERS ARE ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE/FIX FAULTY AIR BAGS, SO LOOKS LIKE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM

THE FRONT SEAT OCCUPANCY-CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (OCS) IS NOT WORKING. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR. NISSAN/INFINITI HAS RECALLED MILLIONS OF CARS IN 2013-1015 AND HAD A VOLUNTARY INSPECTION IN 2008 AND 2009 FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL RECALL. UPON ONLINE RESEARCH, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH MY SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND WE ARE UNABLE TO GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY HAVE OFFERED UP TO $2000 FOR ME TO GET THIS FIXED. HOWEVER, THE TOTAL REPAIR FOR THIS IS $6900, SO I AM STILL PAYING $5,000 FOR A REPAIR ON A 2009 VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN ISSUE. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CARS, YOU CANNOT REPLACE OR REPAIR THE SENSOR, BUT YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS OVER 50% OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY CAR WITH OCCUPANTS IN THE FRONT SEAT FOR OVER A YEAR FOR FEAR OF A TRAGIC ISSUE IF WE HAD AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IT IS OBVIOUS FROM INIFINITI'S WILLINGNESS TO CONTRIBUTE $2000 THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR, BUT SINCE IT IS NOT PART OF A RECALL, THEY CLAIM THAT IS THE MAX THEY ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE. A FATHER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHETHER HIS CHILDREN ARE WORTH THE $5000 REPAIR WHEN THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT NISSAN/INFINITI FOR YEARS AND EVEN INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA ALREADY. I'M FEARFUL THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE TYPE IS NOT AS COMMON THAT THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS OF THAT MODEL TO CLASSIFY IT AS A RECALL. BUT, IT USES THE EXACT SAME PARTS AS THE OTHER NISSAN'S AND INFINITI'S, SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT COVERED.

I HAVE 38 PAGES OF SERVICE REGARDING A STARTING PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED WITH THE AC ON, IT CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START. THERE HAVE BEEN 6 BATTERY REPLACEMENTS, ONE 6 MONTHS AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND 5 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF IT HAS NEEDED 4000 IN REPAIRS. A VALVE ASSEMBLY, CONTROL AND NOW AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN DOZENS OF TIMES AND THE PROBLEM NEVER FIXED. WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 INFINITI G37. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INFINITI OF MEMPHIS IN BARTLETT, TN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.
