“Airbag light: the airbag warning light in the dashboard is flashing. The reason I am bringing this up is because the owner's manual from Infiniti states that when the airbag warning light is flashing, it is possible that the airbags may not deploy if involved in a crash. I have searched on Infiniti and G35 forums and this appears to be a common problem among owners. It also appears as though Infiniti will not cover repairs even though this is a serious safety problem for owners of these vehicles. …”

“The airbag light has been on in my 2003 infinity G35 since the beginning of the year. I have recently taken the car to a reputable repair shop, and was not pleased to find that in this condition the airbag will not deploy. I have since found that there was a recall for airbag malfunctions in the 2005-2008 infinity G35's. The 2003 infinity G35's were not included, but yet there are other 2003 G35 owners that have had with similar problems. Unfortunately, some of them were injured when the airbag did not deploy.”

“I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when I finished my transaction I tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move. I finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked. It has also happened to me when I have started my car and tried to put it in reverse. It is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my VIN # in the recall but they haven't so far. Even in the expanded recall. I don't know why. …”

“Well I bought this car from bellflower auto mart thinking that I bought a pretty dependable car come to find out the previous owner was drinking and driving and totaled the car, so now the car should have a salvage title but it doesnt the airbag system in the car does not work at all, the dealer bought the wrecked car from auction and repaired it themselves and sold it to me as if it was never in any accident, I asked for the carfax report but it unfortunately slipped my mind after all the paper work, but I went the next day to return the car after I found all this out and was kicked off the…”
