“My airbag light stays on constantly. There is a knocking sound that occurs as well when I'm driving. I'm concerned if I'm involved in a collision my airbags will not deploy. I contacted Infiniti and was told they need to reset it and will cost $800.00 and my extended warranty did not cover it and was not part of the recall list. The ipdm ECM relay switch causes my instrument cluster gauge to go in and out, the check engine light comes on, my truck jerks trying to switch gears, it will sometimes start up after several tries, it causes the RPM's to read over 7 when I'm only driving 60 MPH. …”
