“My airbag trouble light appears on my display and I am concerned for my safety as a resukt of faulty airbags and/or connectors. About 2 years ago, the same airbag trouble light was illuninated and the problem was diagnosed as airbag connectors that needed to be replaced. I was told this related to side airbags. The repair xost more than $700. I asked if there were related recalls and was told no by the dealer.”

“Takata recall my 2005 Infiniti G35 was not included in the recall of every year prior and after. The car was probably put together in 2005 and should be included in the recall because the alert is now flashing. I never had a problem like this with my older Infiniti. The alert will not turn off. It went off when I drove back from the dealership after spending over $2500 to get it fixed.”

“While driving the car the engine lights come on and the car shuts completely off, no power at all, no control of car at all. I almost had an accident. The car does start again. This has happened two more times since. Very scary. This is a huge safety concern. It happens without notice. I called Infiniti and was told my car was not manufactured at the plant they were calling recalls for. …”

“My car has the DTC b1129 or b1134 related to itb12-034b and itb10-036b but when I called Infiniti dealership, they said that my car's VIN does not apply. It's exactly the issue described on the recall campaign bulletin how does this not apply? It's the deterioration of the terminal connector that increases impedance on the harness and causes the airbag light to come on falsely but it's enough to cost money. Why doesn't the Infiniti dealership do this?”

“The airbag light in my 2005 Infiniti G35 came on, on or about march 2014. I was told by the dealer it was the harness which was covered under a recall. The harness was repaired and I picked up my car. The airbag light came back on. I took it back to the dealer and was told I needed a new airbag module. I called Infiniti corporate and filed a claim. Infiniti corporate agreed to pay for the airbag module. I took the car back to the dealer and they replaced the airbag module. The light came back on. …”
