G37 Recall?
I got a call from infiniti of Cerritos today telling me to bring my car in asap. I bought it about 2-3 weeks ago and he said there has been a recall by infiniti and they have to inspect my car. He said it has to do with the passenger seat and he has no other detailed information. Well, im going to take it in tomorrow and update u guys. if you have any clue what it can be feel free to post.

Havn't heard anything like that
do you think it's for the airbag sensor for the passanger side
because when you don't have anybody as a passanger the passanger airbag is turned off
maybe there's a bug in it so when there is a passanger the sensor doesn't engage it
let us know

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there is a recall for the 2008 EX35 relating to passenger seat software malfunctions which can drain the battery (NHTSA campaign number 08V066000). There are no 2008 G37 recalls.

Too bad they won't/can't take the passenger seat occupied sensor, and use this to fully enable all the nav and phone book functions while driving. I'd bring mine in tomorrow (Sunday) if they would fix this design flaw. There is no reason my passenger can't program the nav while I drive.

maybe they think someone would just put something on the passenger seat that has a little weight to it (books etc.) and use it while driving. I know what you mean though.

hey guys i went in this morning at 11am and got out at 3 pm! it turns out that there was something wrong with my passenger sensor that they needed to replace even before i bought my car. They sold me the car without realizing that they had to replace a part, so they said come back with an empty gas tank and they will fill it up for me.

What exactly was the problem with the sensor

I never understood why they have those stupid censors. Why is it so bad if your passenger airbags deploy when there is no passenger? I'd rather just have it always deploy rather than take the risk of it malfunctioning and not deploying when someone is in there.

Because if they deploy unnecessarily when they're not needed, it will cost a few thousand bucks to fix when they didn't need to deploy in the first place. The sensors are extremely reliable. If they weren't and they malfunctioned and didn't deploy when they were supposed to they would get sued for a gazillion dollars. They work.
