2009 Infiniti EX35 Air bags Problems

“I purchased 2009 Infiniti ex 35 one month ago(september 30, 2009). There is a passenger side airbag off light. According to Infiniti service center nearby, it is designed to detect child or small adult who is less than 100 pounds seating on passenger side and prevent passenger side airbag from deploying in accident. They said for children or small adult less than 100 pounds, it is better to have no airbag on crash because it will cause more harm than good. Here is the problem. My wife is 130 pounds, 5.80 ft tall (not a small adult or children size). …”

“I took the car to jim coleman Infiniti service department to find out why the air bag warning light is flashing non-stop. After the diagnostic they concluded it was due to passenger side ocs sensor faulty, so in order to replace the sensor they need to replace the entire passenger seat due to sensor embedded in the seat and asking for around $4500 for parts and $600 for labor. It's outrageous! Although I bought the car at 2009 I hardly drive the car and took metro to work most of the time so the mileage is only <50k. …”

“The passenger airbag warning in the dashboard next to the speedometer kept flashing while stationary and while driving whether or not a person was sitting in the passenger seat or not. I took it to the dealer twice to be fixed (while under warranty), but the problem continued sporadically. I took it a 3rd time (now warranty expired), they researched deeper and said the problem was in the ocs sensor inside of the seat, so the seat needed to be replaced. $5000 charge, motorwerks of barrington, il. I have not had it fixed yet. …”
