TAKATA RECALL: MAY 23, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERR1622 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V-349 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE ACCORDING TO THIS RECALL, IT STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME AND MAY SEND METAL PIECES FLYING. THIS IS THE ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION THAT I OWN, IT IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT NOT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE OTHERS AROUND (I HAVE 2 KIDS) BUT IT MAKES ME WORRIED ABOUT MYSELF. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THEM TO GET THE PARTS TO REPLACE THIS ISSUE? HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE TO ENDURE THIS INCONVENIENCE AND STRESS? IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL - INFINITI M35 2007 RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AROUND 6 MONTHS AGO AND NEVER GOT A SECOND LETTER FOR AN APPOINTMENT. JUST CALLED THE INFINITI DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WILL ORDER THE PARTS AND MY APPOINTMENT WILL BE IN TWO MORE MONTHS. WHY WEREN'T THE PARTS ALREADY ON ORDER? WHY DID I HAVE TO CALL? WHY IS IT GOING TO TAKE TWO MORE MONTHS? NO ONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR 8 MONTHS! TOTALLY RIDICULOUS FOR A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM.

Apr 5, 2017

I HAVE CONTACTED THE NISSAN CONSUMERS AND FILED A REPORT APPROXIMATELY 2-MONTHS AGO AND WAS GIVEN AN INCIDENT NUMBER. I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT SEVERAL CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD IN MY 2007 INFINITI M35. MY VEHICLE OF LOW MILEAGE AND WELL MAINTAINED AND KEPT IN THE GARAGE. I HAVE NEVER UTILIZED ANY OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE DASHBOARDS. I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING SEVERAL POSTINGS BY OTHER CONSUMERS THAT HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO INSTALL A NEW DASHBOARD DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MALFUNCTION OF PRODUCTION ON NISSAN INFINITI PART AND ALL THOSE CONSUMERS AFFECTED SHOULD GET A FREE DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE OF PART WHEN CAR WAS MADE INTO PRODUCTION. TO-DATE THERE'S A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG WHICH NO PART STILL HAS COME OR DELIVERED YET TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM ADDRESSING MY GRAVE CONCERN AND HOPE THAT OTHER CONSUMERS WILL FILE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAIN THE NISSAN INFINITI FOR SELLING THESE CERTAIN KIND OF VEHICLES WITH DEFECTS AND DO NOT WANT TO HONOR THE REPLACEMENT OF DASHBOARDS THAT WERE IMPROPERLY PRODUCED BY THE MANUFACTURER. FOR A LUXURY CAR TO HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS THEN I AM VERY APPALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT'S ALL I MOSTLY PURCHASE IS NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED WITH ALL CONSUMERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND OTHER MODELS OF THE INFINITI ARE HAVING THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

"TAKATA RECALL"... RECALL WAS ISSUED NHTSA 16V-349 AROUND MAY 2016. NO RESULTS FROM DEALER AS OF THIS DATE. THIS IS A DISGRACE,WHY BOTHER WITH A RECALL IF IT CAN NOT BE ENFORCED AND PROVIDE RESULTS.?? IS THIS ANOTHER INEFFECTIVE AGENCY? A LOT OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED BUT APPARENTLY PRODUCING FEW RESULTS.

TAKATA RECALL - WE ARE NEARLY NINE MONTHS INTO THIS AND MY CAR IS STILL NOT REPAIRED - THEY HAVE SCHEDULED ME TWICE ONLY TO CANCEL THE DAY BEFORE DUE TO INSTALLATION ISSUES WITH OTHER CARS OR LACK OF PRODUCT TO DO THE REPAIR. INFINITI OFFERED TO RENT A CAR FOR ME BUT LOGISTICALLY THAT DOES NOT WORK AS WE LIVE OVER AN HOUR FROM THE DEALER AND I DO NOT HAVE SPACE TO STORE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THEY WILL NOT STORE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO AT THE VERY LEAST TO REIMBURSE ME FOR VALUE OF THE RENTAL ON A MONTHLY BASIS UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED - RETROACTIVELY TO THE DATE OF THE RECALL. THIS RECALL AND THE RESTRICTIONS ON PASSENGERS HAS BEEN A REAL CHALLENGE TO ME.

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECALL FROM MAY 2016, LETTER SPECIFICALLY SAYS DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I THINK ENOUGH TIME HAS BEEN ALLOWED FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME, I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF MORE PROMPTLY AND NOT ALMOST A YEAR LATER HAVE THE STATUS STATE "RECALL INCOMPLETE - REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE?????

TAMARA RECALL NOTIFICATION OF RECALL RECEIVED 6/2016. INFINITI UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO PARTS. FINALLY ARRANGED REPAIR WITH INFINIT 1/3/2017. NOW INFINITI SAYS PARTS USED TO REPAIR WERE FOR 2008 AND LATER MODELS. PART NUMBERS INSTALLED 985617999E AIR BAG INFLATOR. B4A67EH50D HARNESS KIT SUB. REPAIR INVOICE # INCS10700. INFINITI OF CINCINNATI. DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO GET INFORMATION FROM INFINITI AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS PART IS ACCEPTABLE FOR 2007 BUT CANNOT GET RESPONSE. DEALER INDICATES PART APPEARED IDENTICAL AND THERE ARE NO LIGHTS INDICATING THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED A LOANER FOR 2 WEEKS WHILE THEY TRIED TO GET UPDATE FROM INFINITI. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED THEIR BEST AT THIS POINT AND I BELIEVE THE ISSUE LIES WITH INFINITI. NO PARTS SPECIFIED FOR THE 2007 MODEL HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE. AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOW 9 MONTHS INTO THIS WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. IF THE PARTS THEY INSTALLED WILL WORK, I SI,PLY NEED INFINITI TO VERIFY THIS AND PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING THAT AN ACCEPTABLE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE. IF NOT, I NEED THEM TO REPLACE THESE PARTS WITH THE CORRECT ONE.
