“The air bag warning light came on during may 2016 after I stopped for gas. The dealer replaced the passenger air bag inflator during 2014 (no charge under a manufacturer recall) but indicated I have to pay 715.00 to repair the air bag sensor. I have read about the takata air bag problems and am very concerned about my family and my safety but this is not a movable part and I think this should be a mfg recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10872597, filed 2016-06, 126,000 miles

“I have not experienced any problems with the airbag and my VIN has not been specifically identified for the takata recall. That though is the issue. In view of the inifinti recall of similar model cars in high humidity states, and NHTSA's call for a full recall of the takata airbags, as well as toyota, GM & honda's recent expansion of the recall, I do not understand why Infiniti has not taken similar additional action. I live in virginia - an area of high humidity for at least 3 months per year. A recent death occurred to a virginia resident related to the airbags. …”

NHTSA complaint #10725931, filed 2015-06, 159,000 miles

“Car was in a small low speed front end impact. Passenger air bag and seat belt deployed, although no passengers in car. Drivers side air bag and seat belt did not. Clearly there is a problem with the drivers side air bag seat belt and detonator. I now have a car with a deployed passenger side airbag and seat belt. Also acar that the drivers side air bag will not deploy if in another accident. .”

NHTSA complaint #11073969, filed 2018-02, 99,000 miles

“The air bag warning light came on. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the driver's side air bag control module had failed and it would be $900 to replace it. My husband's volkswagen gli was recalled for the exact same problem, and was fixed for free. Why not the infinity? Was told none of the air bags would work without replacing the driver's side module. Still driving without air bags...”

NHTSA complaint #10630351, filed 2014-09, 55,000 miles

“Car was involved in a partial head on collision ( 20 MPH), drivers side airbag and seatbelt didn't deploy, passenger side did. There was not a passenger in the car. Deal will not fix free of charge, even though there is a recall effecting part of this system.”

NHTSA complaint #10899000, filed 2016-08, 104,000 miles
