2008 Infiniti EX35 Air bags Problems

“The passenger airbag light stays on constantly. We had the dealership do a diagnostic on it and came back that the occupant control sensor unit in the passenger seat is bad and they want 6400.00 to fix it!! Ironically, other 2007-2008 infinity EX35 models were recalled for the same issue, except mine due to my VIN! Why were 200,00+ other cars from same year and model recalled but not mine? Even if new part was used, it still has the same error and should be recalled. This is a safety issue and totally unresponsible of these auto manufacturers to not take responsibility of this!”

“The dash board airbag warning light started flashing. It stayed flashing for a few weeks, so I took it to an Infiniti dealership. The dealership told me there was some type of communication problem between the acu and ocs units, located under the passenger seat. They said they couldn't tell any more than that, and would try replacing the acu first (this cost me over $1000). They then said if the flashing light came back, the next step would cost me over $3200 (replacing the ocs, I guess). …”

“Had just paid for parking garage at booth- gate opened and as I began to move forward hit curb with front drivers side wheel- airbag deployed and hit me with stunning force (lacerations on forehead- hand and forehead bleeding - black and blue eyes later). The overall length of curb starting from gate was only 4 feet( I went back and measured later) at the end of curb was a 2 ft high concrete block. There was zero damage to my bumper and obviously had not accelerated since I had less than 4 ft to do so and was pulling out from a stopped position. …”

“Passenger side airbag light started flashing, took to columbus Infiniti who told me faulty electrical system and to fix over $3000. I said no went home and looked up on internet 2 recalls feb 2008 and oct 2008 for the same problem, 08v521000 and 08v066000. I called back dealer and they told me even though it is the same problem my call was not involved in these recalls. I contacted Infiniti corp and filed a complaint. Result was my car not included in the recall but they would be half the repair or $1500 and give me a discount if I bought a new Infiniti. …”

“The 2008 Infiniti EX35 was struck by a car (honda accord) going through a red light. Initial contact on the driver side of the car - all side airbags deployed. The Infiniti then hit a brick column supporting a building with full frontal impact between the headlights. The front air bags did not deploy. The car was a complete loss - $26,000. The driver suffered a fractured vertebrae and concussion and multiple bruises. This complaint is for the front airbags that did not deploy.”
