What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
2014 Q60 Infiniti airbag light flashing, compromising the passenger airbag. The dealer wants over $5-7000 to replace the seat, because of the sense pressure plate failure, indicating an adult sitting in seat, and not a child getting injured.
My car started showing "airbag light" blinking out of the blue. I only have 45k miles on the car. When I went to the dealer, they suggested that is should change the entire passenger seat @ 6000 dollars for a Occupancy sensor issue. I even tried talking to Infiniti USA with no avail.
The airbag light on the dashboard is flashing. The car has 36,157 actual miles and Infiniti says that it is out of warranty. The local Infiniti dealer researched the problem and found that there is a defective sensor in the passenger seat bottom.
After car sits for 1~2 weeks battery goes dead. Had to the dealer and replaced battery. 3 months later same thing. Back to dealer and found a defective battery and replaced, again. 2 months later same problem. Back to dealer and requested a parasitic draw test....negative.
The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the vehicle began to shake uncontrollably. The contact stated that the failure occured on a consistent basis. The vehicle was taken to sewell infiniti of dallas ([address], dallas, texas) where it was determined that the transmission failed.
They replace the batteries in the car and remote but after the car sits for a week or two it wont start. Had to buy a jump starter.
On three (3) separate occasions, vehicle shut-down while driving on the highway. Notified seller and manufacturer.
Occasionally the vehicle engine suddenly shuts down bringing vehicle to halt shortly after starting movement following a stop at stop sign or traffic lights. For example car is being driven for a while and brought to a complete stop.
