'06 ML350 Passenger Air Bag

I'd appreciate some insight into this phenomenon.

I'm 900+ miles into an '06 ML350 (don't worry, its the wifes, my daily driver is an 87 Grand National), and on a return trip from vacation, the passenger airbag deactivated and then after a long while (30 mins or approx. 25 - 30 miles) the sensor "primed" itself. This occured twice within an hour. I took it to the dealer, but to no avail. I'm an engineer and I know when someone is speaking but saying anything. I'll take it to a different dealer by the weekend.

Any help would be appreciated.

And during that time you're sure the person on the front passenger seat wasn't a balloon which suddenly dflated? It has to be a fulty sensor problem. As an engineer, you must disregard the spike in the data as faulty, unless you have a statistical reality of theproblem. For now, it sounds like it happened only a couple of times. Try to pinpoint the conditions when it happens (easy for me to say, of course) and confront the dealer with that information.
