Made takata airbag recall appointment with Dealer on August 27, 2021. Then dropped car off dealer at 2pm, September 1, 2021. Today it is September 16, 2021--the job is supposed to take 2 hours. The dealer still has my car. So I am at 2 weeks and 1 day. The service manager is not returning calls. No loaner car given. That does not seem reasonable. No wonder why there are so many airbag recall not fixed Two weeks and a Day to fix a 2 hour issue. Please Help. Time limits are needed once repair is scheduled.

TAKATA RECALL. INFINITI IS NOT WORKING WITH US IN GETTING THE RECALL WORK DONE. I LIVE OVER 400 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND INFINITI IS HAVING US PAY TO EITHER, GET A RENTAL CAR OR PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM. OF WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD EITHER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT UNTIL THE RECALL IS DONE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016. NOW 8 MONTHS LATER, WE HAVE NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM INFINITI WHEN THIS WILL BE REPAIRED AND THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW, EITHER. INFINITI'S SOLUTION IS TO DO AN INTERIM REPAIR THAT DISABLES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG- NOT REALLY "A FIX". CAN WE GET AN UPDATE FROM INFINITI WHEN THEY EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL.... I WAS NOTIFIED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND I SHOULD NOT ALLOW THE SEAT BE OCCUPIED. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALL INFINITY REQUESTING MY VEHICLE BE REPAIRED. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2017. I FEEL INFINITY'S POOR HANDLING OF THIS RECALL HAS CREATED AN UNDO BURDEN ON THE RECALL VEHICLE OWNERS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE POOR EXECUTION OF THIS RECALL. INFINITY OFFERED A RENTAL THRU THE LOCAL DEALER BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND LEFT A MESSAGE IT WAS NOT RETURNED, I BELIEVE THE DEALERS DO NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE RENTAL PROGRAM, BECAUSE MY ORIGINAL DEALER DOES NOT OFFER ANY TEMPORARY FIXES INFINITY SPEAKS OF.
