Air Bag On-off Switch Problems of Infiniti JX35

Right front passenger airbag intermittently fails to turn "on" when an adult passenger is seated fully within the seat. On some occasions the airbag will turn "on" (indicator light is off) when an adult passenger is present and then will switch to "off" (indicator light turns on). Attempts to reposition and redistribute weight to get the system to turn back on have been made but unsuccessful. Then, minutes later the system simply switches back to "on". This is an intermittent problem with the passenger detection system in the seat and can result in the airbag not deploying in a frontal collision.

There is an intermitent problem with the functioning of the passenger airbag. Approximately 50% of the time that there is a passenger sitting in the passenger seat the passenger airbag is turned off. These are adult passengers with weights from 125lbs to 185lbs and heights 5ft 7in to 6ft 6in. Infiniti engineers have been unable to fix the problem. The passenger airbags should be switched on all the time with adult passengers therefore this is a serious safety issue. As all the passenger seat sensors have been checked and are ok this raises serious questions about the integrity of the computer systems controlling the car.
