| 2005 infiniti g35 coupe in may of 2010 an air bag light came on in my car. dreyer reinbold infiniti in indianapolis looked at it, said they didn't know what the problem was and needed to replace the whole system for $3000. my car at that time had around 87,000 miles on it and i'm the original owner. both air bags are not working either. then in june there was a recall on the air bags on my car. i had it looked at and my car still does not have air bags working. infiniti of north america says they will not fix the problem as it's not part of the recall. other than paying their $3000 what can i do? dreyer reinbold has been nothing but a pain to me. thank you for you help. | |||

| The passenger side air bag switch can turn off the air bag when an adult is occupying the seat. i have discussed this with the dealer and was told that this has been a long standing problem with nissan and infiniti cars. i am concerned that the air bag will not operate when someone is in the passenger seat. *nm | |||
