167 reportsTHE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND TRIGGERED A FAULT MESSAGE WHICH THE AUTO DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED. NO INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED OTHER THAN MY AIRBAGS BEING NONFUNCTIONAL. IS THIS PART OF A LARGER AIRBAG PROBLEM, OR AN ISOLATED PROBLEM?
MY G37 09 INFINITI IS GREAT. BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING IT JERKS AND ON MY DASH BOARD IT INDICATOR SHOWS UP AS SLIP. COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THIS ISSUE?

I LOVE MY G37. BUT MY TIRE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAS A SLOW LEAK AND I TOOK IT INTO THE INFINITI SHOP AND THEY STATED MY TIRE AS FINE. BUT THEY PLACE SOME NITRO IN MY TIRE. YET FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS IN MY DASH BARD THE SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE TIRE CAME ON AGAIN AND MY TIRE LOOKED FLAT AGAIN. THESE TIRE WAS PURCHASED AT THE INFINITI SHOP ALSO.
TMPS LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE THE TMPS NUT WAS SPLIT AND FELL OFF. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE VALVE AND THE TPMS FELL INTO THE TIRE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACTIVE RECALLS FOR MULTIPLE INFINITI AND NISSAN CARS OF THE SAME YEAR. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V393000
DASH BECAME STICKY AND HAS REMAINED STICKY EVER SINCE. THE DASH ALSO APPEARS TO BE MELTING. CANNOT CLEAN AS RAG OF ANY TYPE STICKS TO THE DASH. REFLECTION CAUSES A GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTED INFINITI AND THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR DUE TO FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED.

I WAS COMING OUT FROM THE FREEWAY AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN, AND IT WILL NOT START. FIRST I CALLED FOR AAA TO TOW IT, ONCE HE CAME THE DRIVER CHECKED THE BATTERY AND HE TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS FINE, THEN HE TOLD ME THE ENGINE IS GONE. AND THEN I CALLED THE DEALER TO CHECK IF THIS IS A RECALL, OR ANYTHING AND I WAS TOLD THE POWER TRAIN WAS EXPIRED. I HAVE NO INDICATION OF ANY HEATING, OR ANY ENGINE LIGHTS, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I DO THE MAINTENANCE AS RECOMMENDED BY INFINITY BOOK. THE THIS VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE 2009 YEAR MADE AND I DON'T DRIVE MUCH. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFER EXACTLY LIKE ME.
PASS AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS IT IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT WILL NOT GO OFF. TOOK IT TO DEALER IN GREENVILLE SC THEY SAID THAT THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS LIKELY THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE. COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $1500 AND $3000 TO REPLACE. I CALLED INFINITY SERVICE NATIONWIDE THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. I SEE ON THIS …

PASS AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS IT IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT WILL NOT GO OFF. TOOK IT TO DEALER IN GREENVILLE SC THEY SAID THAT THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS LIKELY THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE. COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $1500 AND $3000 TO REPLACE. I CALLED INFINITY SERVICE NATIONWIDE THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. I SEE ON THIS REPORTING WEBSITE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS AND THAT IT ALSO WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2008 G35 AND THAT FOR THE 2008 IT IS A RECALL ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE 2009 G37 ALSO.
