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.

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.

I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. ABOUT 10-15 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALER MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE MECHANIC MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN TO RESET COMPUTER AND TO COME BACK AT NEXT SERVICE SINCE DEALER IS NOT CLOSE TO HOME OR WORK. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CSR BACK TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND AIRBAG SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1800. I REFUSED TO GET IT FIXED AND LEFT. CAR HAS 210000 MILES ON IT AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

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

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STARTED TO BLINK. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THE LIGHT STILL BLINKS. TRYING TO PERFORM AN ECU RESET, THE BLINKING STOPS FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND RESUMES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP IN PALM SPRINGS, CA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IF I DON'T FIX IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THE RECALL HAS BEEN APPLIED, THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR

SINCE OCTOBER 2012 (APPROXIMATE), I HAVE NOTICED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2005 G35. CURRENTLY, THE CAR IS CONSUMING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS OR VISIBLE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CONDITION CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE. ALSO PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. I HAD IT TESTED TO IDENTIFY WHICH AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. A SHORT WHILE AFTER THAT, IT CAME BACK ON AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN AIRBAG MODULE. I FIND IT WEIRD THAT MY VEHICLE AND A LOT OF OTHER INFINITI G35S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THIS ORDER. ALSO EVERY TIME I LEFT DEALERSHIP, A WEEK AFTER, I REALIZED THE THEY HAD DAMAGED THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC COVER TO THE FRONT OF THE SEATS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF, NO POWER AT ALL, NO CONTROL OF CAR AT ALL. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOES START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE. VERY SCARY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE. I CALLED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED AT THE PLANT THEY WERE CALLING RECALLS FOR. WELL EXCUSE ME INFINITI YOUR PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (MY INFINITY CASE NUMBER FOR THIS PROBLEM **AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS IS 15697563). THEY INFORMED ME THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2010 - IT WAS NOT. I HAVE THE CAR-FACTS TO PROVE THIS. INFINITI STATED TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS INFINITI FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WILL DO THIS THIS WEEK BUT SADLY EXPECT THE SAME RUN AROUND I HAVE RECEIVED BEFORE. THIS CAR BETWEEN THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ABOVE IS AT EXTREME CRASH AND INJURY RISK. *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

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
