2011 INFINITI G25 — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

The supplemental air bag warning light came on the dashboard. My local mechanic coded it at B1018, occupant sensor failure. At his suggestion, I brought it to a Nissan dealership (Infiniti is over an hour away from where I live.). They indicated I need to replace both seat sensor and OCS module. They say the seat must be replaced. Checking the Internet, there is a recent recall for Infiniti air bag problems. I contend that if that same system was used in 2011, a recall of that year should exist. In addition, there are many similar issues reported on the Internet.

While car was in operation, Intelligent Key System warning light came on (yellow "KEY" light). After turning off car engine, car will no longer start up. Key fob locks and unlocks doors, but car will not start. Prior to this incident there were no indications of a problem, no wornings. Upon investigation and research, the issue is related to a "Steering Lock Failure", and is widely known for years by other owners, repair shops, and Nissan and Infiniti. Nissan has addressed the issue by recalling and repairing the failure, however Infiniti has ignored the issue even though it is the same part (and same company). Infiniti must be made to repair the failure, as Nissan has done.

While enrooted to work my vehicle just shut off unexpectedly. I had the vehicle towed to nearest mechanic shop and they could not find out why my vehicle stopped, then the vehicle started back up and I drove the vehicle home. A few days later on my way to work again, my vehicle would not start at all. I had AAA come out to try and start the vehicle thinking that it was a dead battery, but I was told that the battery was in good shape. A few days later my vehicle started once again, so I took it to another mechanic shop and was informed that it was possibly the key fob, then the vehicles onboard computer. They proceeded to troubleshoot the vehicle thinking that this maybe the issue, then the vehicle would not start once again. It was not any of the issues that they thought. The vehicle was taken to the dealership to find out what was going on for sure. I was then informed that it was possibly the steering wheel lockbox since the dashboard yellow key light is lighting up as well, and that this is a known issue for sure with the 2011 Infiniti G25 and Nissan vehicles. They informed me that the cost would be well over $1500; this is funds that I do not have. I have been stranded while driving stranded on the road multiple times. This is unacceptable for sure.
