Fire

Air bag’s light flashing and on. Went to the dealership and was charged 178.00 and they said that it will cost me additional 937.86 and no guarantee that my vehicle air bags will be safe for me if there’s an accident . Went to the dealerships on 5/18/23 was the soonest they could get me in

MY AIRBAG TROUBLE LIGHT APPEARS ON MY DISPLAY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS A RESUKT OF FAULTY AIRBAGS AND/OR CONNECTORS. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, THE SAME AIRBAG TROUBLE LIGHT WAS ILLUNINATED AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS AIRBAG CONNECTORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THIS RELATED TO SIDE AIRBAGS. THE REPAIR XOST MORE THAN $700. I ASKED IF THERE WERE RELATED RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NO BY THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE BEING DRIVEN, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE DASHBOARD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE COUPE 2005 INFINITI G35 IS MELTING AND BECOMES STICKY REGARDLESS OF CLEANING. TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME CRACKED AND COMPROMISED, WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN AIRBAG ISSUE DOWN THE LINE. ASIDE, FROM THE AIRBAG, I BELIEVE THIS MATERIALS COULD BE HAZARDOUS AS THEY MUST BE OF LOW QUALITY TO "MELT" WHEN IT ISN'T IN MUCH SUNLIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS GARAGED EVERY DAY AND HAS ONLY AROUND 70000 MILES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. UPON LOOKING AT FORUM AND PICTURES FROM OTHER INFINITI AND NISSAN OWNERS, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH I AM NOT ALONE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2005 INFINITI G35 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF EVERY YEAR PRIOR AND AFTER. THE CAR WAS PROBABLY PUT TOGETHER IN 2005 AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THE ALERT IS NOW FLASHING. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH MY OLDER INFINITI. THE ALERT WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT WENT OFF WHEN I DROVE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SPENDING OVER $2500 TO GET IT FIXED.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A RECENT ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TOOK CAR IN TO HAVE PASSENGER AIRBAG HARNESS REPLACED PER RECALL. WHILE IN THE SHOP, A CRITICAL CONCERN WAS NOTED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE AND SPIRAL CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER OF $1,434. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE PART REPLACEMENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND I WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG PARTS ARE REPLACED, THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH ITS AIRBAGS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD ALSO BE PLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE MANUFACTURED CARS AND TRUCKS MADE BY THE NISSAN CORPORATION. A CALL BACK WAS ISSUED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING COLUMN. A COIL LOCATED INTERNAL WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN IS DEFECT AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN AN EMERGENCY. SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY ISSUE WHEN A COMPANY PUTS THEIR NAME ON A PRODUCT LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SAFETY FEATURES LOCATED FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY. PLEASE ADDRESS MY CONCERNS BY ISSUING A CALL BACK ON THE NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DEFECT FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY THANK YOU RESPECTFULLY *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE ON APRIL 27, 2010. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING EVERY SINCE DAY ONE, SO I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEMS. I ALSO CALLED INFINITY AND THEY SAID THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WILL BE GIVEN TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME MATTER, AND BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEMS HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER, UNLESS THEY PERFORMED A PARTIAL FIX TO GET THE CUSTOMER OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THIS VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY AND ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON MAY BE KILLED BY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THIS HAPPENS, I AM LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I WILL SEEK LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AND INFINITY FOR THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AS REPORTED BY SO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

THE SEDAN HAS AN AIRBAG THAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES NON STOP ON THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. L LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY DO NOT WARRANTY SAFETY ISSUES ANYMORE. THEY CONTINUES TO PRINT OUT A STATEMENT FOR $1000 DOLLARS WITH A CODE B1134. ITS A $35,000 DOLLAR CAR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE "SAFETY" ISSUES. MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS TO EXPENSIVE TO DEAL WITH OR IS A HUMAN LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE. THE AIRBAGS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE FACT THAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO RESOLVE INTERNALLY IS NOT VERY GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE OR PROFESSIONAL. I KNOW OF OTHER CONSUMERS ONLINE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH COMPLAINTS. BEING ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT JUST HAVE AN ISSUE WITH INFINITI NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THANKS *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2005 INFINITI G35 CAME ON, ON OR ABOUT MARCH 2014. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WAS THE HARNESS WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND I PICKED UP MY CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG MODULE. I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE AND FILED A CLAIM. INFINITI CORPORATE AGREED TO PAY FOR THE AIRBAG MODULE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A SPIRAL CABLE, AND "THAT WILL BE $600, LET US KNOW WHEN TO ORDER THE PART". I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE TO REOPEN MY CLAIM. I QUESTIONED WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING WHEN THE HARNESS AND AIRBAG MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WAS TOLD "SOMETIMES IT'S A 3 STEP PROCESS". INFINITI CORPORATE LATER DENIED THE CLAIM STATING THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE AS A FAVOR AND THEY ONLY ALLOW 1 FAVOR PER CUSTOMER. THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE TOLD THE SPIRAL CABLE MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REVIEWED BLOGS ABOUT THE 2005 INFINITI G35 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET BUT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALSO LOOKING AT AIRBAG ISSUES WITH SEVERAL MODELS OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE AIRBAG ISSUE FURTHER AS CLEARLY THE HARNESS (WHICH WAS RECALLED) DOES NOT RESOLVE THE AIRBAG ISSUE ON THE 2005 INFINITI G35. *TR
