| Infiniti i30 air bag red light on dash blinking indicating faulty air bags. this is a dangerous situation because you don't know if the air bags are functional or if it is just the light. infiniti wants > $600 to replace the airbag which only seems to last a short period of time. many owners have indicated this problem on the web: http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/infiniti/i30/r71712/comments/ http://forums.nicoclub.com/air-bag-sign-blinking-on-1998-infiniti-i30-t285511.html http://x.infinitihelp.com/forum/showthread.php/air-bag-light-flash-1250.html?s=e57ee447db4834484bf21b4fa7bd8aa0&p=4558 | |||

| Air bag light flashes, this problem occurs with many 1998 infiniti i30's after searching the internet. nissan will not take responsibility for correcting the problem. light suggests that the airbag is faulty however nissan says this is not the case. faulty or not the flashing light suggests safety issue and this is a recurring problem that nissan has tapped the consumer for at anywhere from 500-1000 per occurrence. *tr | |||

| The air bag light of my 1998 infinity i-30 began flashing for no apparent reason. i noted two tsb concerning a manufacturer defect related to the seat harness triggering the air bag light in 1998/1999. i provided the tsb to my local infinity dealer in elk grove, ca who charged me $110 diagnostic charge to tell me what i already knew about the defect. to repair the air bag system, it will cost over $800 and they state my car is out of warranty. however, this problem has nothing to do with owner use or wear-and-tear. i believe this is a manufacturer design flaw the impacts passenger safety and should be repaired at their expense. can someone help me? thanks. *jb | |||

| Air bag light came on at 33,000. diagnosis: a bad sensor for driver's side bag. extended warranty does not cover. they wanted $700 to fix it. turns out there is a reset method that will turn off the light if it is not defective, and only needs to be reset. the dealer did not try this, or offer to do so. *ak | |||

| Check out this site. this appears to be a common problem with i30 http://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_71712.html airbag warning light flashes. this would indicate that the airbag is malfunctioning or the system light, but in either case we know not which. this appears to be an ongoing situation which infiniti will not address. please investigate. *ak | |||

| Air bag light flashes repeatedly. car has just turned over 40000 miles. dealership (crest) in plano charges $130 just to look at the car and diagnose. new sensor plus installation costs $500. not worth the cost on a 1998 vehicle. complained that this should be a safety/nissan issue. complaints were ignored. | |||

| The airbags are rendered useless for no appearent reason other than defective from the maker. vehicle had less than 40,000 miles when the defect was found by dealer. dealer claimed it to be the owner's responsibility and costs. i believe this should be a recall by nissan. *jb | |||
