“Takata recall - how do I replace my air bags when my Infiniti dealership no longer handles Infiniti and takata will not honor my recall expense? I live in a city of over 200,000 people but the nearest dealership is 300 miles away and I am handicapped. If I have to have someone take it elsewhere how will I be reimbursed. I should not have to pay for this recall which I can not afford.”

“My 2006 Infiniti dashboard started to develop bubbles approximately 4 years ago. They have progressively gotten worse over time. I just found out that Infiniti extended the warranty to 8 years but I was never notified by them or the local dealership. In essence they were hiding the fact that they offered a no charge fix. This is a manufacturing problem that could affect the deployment of the passenger airbag since that is the area involved. My warranty expired 6 months ago and since I was never notified I am now left to pay for the fix on my own. …”

“Takata recall see attached notification received in august of 2016. Note red and underlined areas. Infiniti advised owners to handle this recall in an unacceptable way for two reasons 1. Airbag deployment while driving is likely to cause a wreck which could endanger others unrelated to the recall 2. Metal pieces would not just hit the passenger seat, they would go throughout the vehicle the first of my many calls to Infiniti ended with no solution, no plan for loaner cars or replacement and saying they had really been hit by surprise. …”
