Example complaints

Air bags: “I purchased 2009 Infiniti ex 35 one month ago(september 30, 2009). There is a passenger side airbag off light. According to Infiniti service center nearby, it is designed to detect child or small adult who is less than 100 pounds seating on passenger side and prevent passenger side airbag from deploying in accident. They said for children or small adult less than 100 pounds, it is better to have no airbag on crash because it will cause more harm than good. Here is the problem. My wife is 130 pounds, 5.80 ft tall (not a small adult or children size). …”

NHTSA complaint #10290697, filed 2009-11, 900 miles

Other or unknown: “The steering lock box stopped working, and the car could not be started. We saw that nissan already has a campaign on the sister cars. For this issue. I believe the involves the very same part.the car can not be operated with this issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11074493, filed 2018-02, 82,000 miles

Electrical system: “I took the car to jim coleman Infiniti service department to find out why the air bag warning light is flashing non-stop. After the diagnostic they concluded it was due to passenger side ocs sensor faulty, so in order to replace the sensor they need to replace the entire passenger seat due to sensor embedded in the seat and asking for around $4500 for parts and $600 for labor. It's outrageous! Although I bought the car at 2009 I hardly drive the car and took metro to work most of the time so the mileage is only <50k. …”
