“Ever since I bought my infiniti the air bag light flashed rapidly on the dash. I received notice a couple years ago about the air bags being recalled.I took my vehicle to Roseville Infiniti and supposedly the airbags were replaced I expected it to take a couple hours it was in and out in under 2 hours. When i left the deLership the light was still blinking and never quit blinking. My concern was to call and ask why it was still blinking ? I was told that it probably wasnt reset however the air bag was replaced . …”
NHTSA complaint #11649383, filed 2025-03“Takata recall the recall was issued on this car in may 2016, and the dealerships still do not have parts as of today, 10/21/2016. We are now being told that the parts will not be here before mid to end of november. Customers are being told that it is safe to still drive the car, as long as we refrain from anyone being in the front seat. However, this is not feasible if you only have one car, and multiple family members. …”
NHTSA complaint #10917940, filed 2016-10“Takata recall for airbag taking too long!!!! First the dealer said my car was not subject to the recall. Now your site says the dealer is waiting on parts . I think the oldest cars should be fixed first.”
NHTSA complaint #11053805, filed 2017-12“The recall on the air bags has kept me from being able take my kids to their events, take prospects/clients out and when I called infinity of charlotte, nc-where I purchased the car they would not offer me a rental until fixed. Instead they offered to replace the air bag with the exact same model air bag. The service department rep said there was only a 1% chance the bags would deploy spraying shrapnel throughout the cabin. There have been 15 deaths already and I would never risk someone being killed or disfigured. I unfortunately don't have a rental car so I risk it everyday. …”
