2010 Infiniti G37 Complaints

FAULTY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND HAVING TO PAY $6000 TO FIX IT IS JUST RIDICULOUS.

MY 2010 INFINITI G37 CONVERTIBLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING A MONTH OR SO AGO. I RECENTLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY CHARGED ME $149 TO INFORM ME THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG UNIT IN THE SEAT HAD A BAD SENSOR/RELAY AND THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS $7,500. YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE RELAY, BUT RATHER HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT UNIT. IN MOST OTHER CARS, IT IS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLAR FIX AND ONLY REQUIRES REPLACING THE SENSOR/RELAY. I CALLED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THEIR AIRBAG UNITS AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, OTHER THAN PAYING $7,500 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. THE PART NUMBER IS "87300-JJ84A - CUSHION". THIS IS THE SECOND INFINITI VEHICLE THAT I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS. I HAD A 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN WHICH WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A CAR HIT ME FROM BEHIND AT 40-50 MILES PER HOUR (I WAS STOPPED) AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WILL FILE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT REGAR...

IN 2013 I BEGAN NOTICED THE DASH BECOMING TACKY AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. BY 2015, THE DASH BEGAN TO POOL AND REFLECT SUNLIGHT WHILE DAY DRIVING. SHORTLY AFTER THE POOLING STARTED, THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING AND BECAME SOFT, WITH DAMAGE OCCURRING WHEN TOUCHED.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THIS CREATES ASHINE THAT CAUSES A REFLECTION OFF THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING CERTAIN DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE MADE WITH SUCH A DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STOP THIS MELTING FROM HAPPENING & FROM DOING INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEAR MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR INFINITI'S. THE DASHBOARD IS ALL STICKY, AND ANYTHING PUT ON IT GETS STUCK LIKE AN ADHESIVE GLUE IS ON IT. I WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD WITH A LKQ DASHBOARD AS A RECALL.

TOP OF DASH BECOMES EXTREMELY SHINY AND STICKY AFTER 1 HOUR OF SUNLIGHT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD CASING UNWANTED GLARE IN WINDSCREEN. TEMPORARILY CAN BE CLEANED WITH SOAP AND WATER AND RETURNS TO DULL NON STICKY APPEARANCE, BUT ONLY TEMPORARY. NEXT TIME CAR IS IN THE SUN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING OR PARKING, THE THE SHININESS AND STICKINESS RETURNS CAUSING MASSIVE REFLECTIONS IN THE WINDSHIELD. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. NO PRODUCT HAS BEEN USED ON THE DASHBOARD OTHER THAN SOAP AND WATER AS NEEDED. SUSPECT THE UV PROTECTION OR PLASTICS ARE FAILING. CAR ONLY HAS 35K MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THERE WAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND LATER CLASS ACTION SUITE FOR OLDER NISSANS AND INFINITI, BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T LOOKED TO BE SOLVED IN NEWER CARS.
