“I hit a bump or a pothole in the road and my driver side airbag deployed. My insurance wouldn't cover the claim as there had been no front or rear impact damage. Ever since my cars battery won't hold a charged and had to be jumped off prior to each use.”

“The passenger airbag light is flashing. There was a past recall on this make, model and year for the very same issue. I have been told that my vehicle with less than 50k miles was not on the recall list. This is a safety issue which will be very expensive to repair and should be taken care of by Infiniti as part of their recall. I do not understanding why this same issue does not include my VIN number but was applicable to other same make, model and year cars as mine. Are there any other avenues I can pursue to fight this?”

“On the approx. Date of incident, I started the vehicle in the morning and noticed the air bag light would blink and not turn off. After referencing the manual, I brought the vehicle into an Infiniti dealership to be diagnosed. The diagnosis was that the passenger side airbag sensor had failed and would cost more than $2,700 to replace. I left without replacing the part. I notice this exact item has already been recalled for this exact make/model/year vehicle, but the manufacturer has told me that the recall was not for my specific VIN. …”

NHTSA complaint #10745162, filed 2015-07, 58,500 miles

“Passenger seat air bag sensor does not work. Infinity had an earlier recall and said problem was fixed in 2009. Infinity says automobile is now out of warranty and only fix is to replace seat at cost of $3500.00. I was told by infinity the recall was just to fix a wire not the sensor. Wanted to notify you of continued problem and see if more owners are reporting continued problem with air bag.”
