“Takata recall. I was driving my FX35 2012 Infiniti and the airbag spontaneously deployed and exploded. I did not hit any car or object, this was not due to an accident.... Just a deployment. It was a large boom, loud explosion, smell of a strong gun powder odor that burns your eyes. The airbag was torn. Please note that this happened as I was driving down a suburb street, no more than 35 MPH. I stopped the car right in the lane as I was in shock ....seeing no obstruction I pulled into the gas station a few yards up. Loud”
NHTSA complaint #11101285, filed 2018-06, 145,000 miles“Takata recall needed on Infiniti FX35 2012. I was in motion, driving 75 MPH on the freeway. A piece of debris bounced off of a car in my left lane and flew underneath my car. Bang! My airbags ejected and slammed my face hard. My whole front windshield blew white. I couldn't see anything in front of me. Trying to push the airbag down with one hand, while steering with the other hand at the same time, I was essentially driving blind on the freeway with speeding cars all around me. On top of that I couldn't move, because the seatbelts locked me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11120141, filed 2018-08, 62,107 miles“While driving in the middle lane on a five lane freeway, a piece of debris (about 1x2 ft) was bouncing from lane to lane. It bounced into my lane and went under my 2012 infinite FX35. I heard a loud bang and my airbags ejected open. My whole front windshield blew white, leaving me unable to see the road. Essentially, I was driving blindly at highway speed on the freeway with moving cars all around me. It's a wonder I didn't slam on my brakes, swerve or plow into the cars that I was behind, in front of, or to the side of me on the freeway. To think about the catastrophic consequences! …”
