11/7/15 around 7-8pm. i (6' 250lb male) was driving home from lisbon, oh / to canton, oh. my fianc (5'6" 200lb female) was sitting in the passenger seat, and our daughter (2 1/2yr old 28lb) sitting directly behind her in her car seat. when out of the corner of my eye i noticed a yellow light come on (while going 45-55mph). when i realized it was the light showing the passenger seat empty. i had my fianc take a picture of the dash so i would have proof for infiniti of akron. though due to the fact she could not also get herself into the picture. i proceeded to take another picture ( to which i attached) to show that she was sitting in the seat. i was placed under the assumption that this fault was no longer possible. due to the fact infiniti of akron had already completed the recall, and gave my car a clean bill of health. so why is my car still having issues? what's it going to take for infiniti to admit there's still an issue? god forbid an accident to happen, and airbag not deploy. will the president of infiniti be there to help me raise my daughter? to explain to her why moms not around? i highly doubt it! so please infiniti people put their entire world in your hands. i've trusted you enough to buy your car. now i trust you'll do everything in your power to make sure it's safe not only for my family. but even family who chooses to put their family in an infiniti.
The front passenger air bag sensor system will intermittently activate when my wife (small stature adult) is sitting in the passenger seat. about half the time the system will activate when she gets in the car and about half the time it stays off. i brought the car into service at the dealership and they report the system is operating within specifications. i contacted infiniti but my discussions were extremely disappointing. they deny there is a problem with the car. they state that it is due to the occupant not sitting correctly. they came to their conclusion without observing how she sits in the car and without giving suggestions on what she is "doing wrong". i find this frustrating since this is the same reasoning they reported in september of 2013 prior to issuing a large recall in april 2014 and after an initial small recall in april 2013. i currently believe the sensor system is defective. i do not believe it is related to how she sits in the car. we have tried different ways of sitting in the car and nothing we do seems to help. she has never had a problem in vehicles manufactured by other car companies. and even if i accept their argument it still should be considered defective because an air bag system should not have a 50% reliability rating and be so dependent on if someone sits 1 mm off center. there should be a margin of safety to protect against failure during routine day to day operation. i just want the car to be fixed. and i want my family and the public at large to be safe. i am concerned that nissan/infiniti is denying a problem exists for economic reasons and to prevent another recall. i really appreciate any assistance you and your agency can provide in this matter. *tr
