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.

DRIVING ON MY CITY ROAD AT 45 MPH MY INFINITI M35 INSTANTLY WENT FROM NORMAL RPMS TO 0, BRAKES LOCKING AND STEERING AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A COMPANY PARKING LOT TO TURN MY INFINITI OFF AFTER GETTING IT IMMEDIATELY IN PARK. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR AND ALMOST FIVE DAYS OF TRYING AND HAVING IT TOWED HOME, I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET MY CAR TO RESTART. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM SLIP, BRAKE, SERVICE ENGINNE, THE BATTERY, ETC CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THE CAR WILL TRY TO CRANK BUT WON'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE KEY FOB BATTERIES, PUT NEW OIL, ALL NEW GAS, 2 NEW BATTERIES, MULTIPLE JUMPS, CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND STILL NOTHING. THE BRAKES ARE STILL HARD TO PRESS ON AND LOCKED SINCE THE IDLING AND THEY WON'T EVEN HARDLY MOVE AS I TRY STARTING THE IGNITION. AFTER A FEW TRIES OF TRYING TO CRANK ALL THE LIGHTS STAY ON THEN LOSES ALL POWER AGAIN.

WELD BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT THAT NOW ALLOWS THE SEAT TO LIFT UP. THIS HAPPENED IN 2015. THE SEAT WILL ALSO NO LONGER MOVE FORWARD.(2020) THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT GEAR WHICH MEANS THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT CONTAINS THE RAIL TRACK. MY WIFE IS MUCH SHORTER THAN I AM AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THE DRIVER SEAT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST COLLAPSED; FEELING LIKE THE ENTIRE SEAT BROKE/FELL APART. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND LUCKILY NO OTHER CAR WAS COMING MY WAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING BUT HAVING TO SIT UPWARDS ALL THE WAY HOME LOSING SEVERAL INCHES OF VIEWING (BARELY LOOKING AT/OVER THE STEERING WHEEL). I GOT HOME TO CHECK OUT SEAT AND DETERMINED THE SEAT COLLAPSED TO THE FLOOR AND CAN'T BE RAISED; THE SEAT IS UNEVEN TOO. YOU CAN NOW PUSH THE BACK OF THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT UPWARDS AT LEAST 10 INCHES OFF THE GROUND. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND DETERMINED THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH INFINITI DRIVER SEATS WHERE THE BACK BAR WELD BREAKS PREVENTING THE SEAT FROM BEING RAISED AND NOW REMAINS UNEVEN. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS A POSSIBLE REAR END COLLISION/IMPACT WILL CAUSE CATASTROPHIC INJURIES (POSSIBLY DEATH) SINCE YOU WILL BE FORCED UPWARDS INTO THE SEAT BEAT AREA; NOT HOW THE SEAT AND SEAT BELT WERE DESIGNED TO RESTRAIN THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH A SEAT IN MY LIFETIME. I AM SHOCKED THIS ISSUE IS RECURRING WITH INFINITI, YET NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I AM OFFICIALLY REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND I DID TAKE TO THE INFINITI DEALER WHO DIDN'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH FIXING THE ISSUE, ONLY TO ORDER NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE SEAT. I DECLINED THE $2,122.43 REPAIR FOR THIS BROKEN SEAT WELD. IF NHTSA THINKS THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE; SINCE NO RECALL, I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND ADVISE MY PERSONAL ATTORNEYS OF SUCH SO IN THE EVENT ANY BODILY INJURY OCCURS, I WILL HAVE RECOURSE.
