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. I FOUND THE SAME PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR WAS RECALLED IN NOVEMBER 2008, THE END OF THE YEAR PRIOR TO 2009 WHEN MY CAR WAS BUILT. IT APPEARS THE SAME PROBLEM WAS CARRIED…

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. AFTER I DID A RESEARCH ON THE WEB I DISCOVERED THAT THE 2007, 2008 INFINITI EX35 MODEL ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT RESULTED A RECALL. PER NHTSA, A SENSOR LOCATED IN…

I HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT ON THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER MOUNTING THE SPARE I INSPECTED THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE FOR THE TIRE TO FAIL. UPON PUTTING THE DAMAGED WHEEL/TIRE IN THE SPARE TIRE WELL OF THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE WHEEL VALVE STEM WAS MISSING AND HEARD SOMETHING ROLLING AROUND INSIDE THE TIRE. IT WAS THE (TPMS) VALVE STEM. I THEN INSPECTED THE OTHER THREE WHEELS/TIRES AND FOUND THAT THE VALVE STEMS ARE HELD IN PLACE BY A LOCKING NUT/SLEEVE THAT WAS FAILING DO TO CORROSION. THE NUT/SLEEVE IS ALUMINUM AND THE CORROSION IS CAUSING THEM TO CRACK LENGTHWISE AND DETACH FROM THE VALVE STEM. THREE OF THE FOUR ARE CRACKED AND ONE IS ONLY HELD IN BY HALF OF THE…

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). WHEN SHE SITS IN PASSENGER SIDE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF AND ON AND OFF DURING A SINGLE TRIP. THE SERVICE…
