“Airbag light suddenly began flashing. I took truck to dealer and they said driver side airbag module shorted internally. Price to fix is $1,600.00. This truck has never been in an accident or at any time had its airbags deployed. All service to truck has been with Infiniti dealerships. Service representative said electronic issue and not owner error. This could happen at any time with this truck. I called customer service and they said problem is covered if truck less than 4 years old or 60,000 miles. …”

NHTSA complaint #10650424, filed 2014-10, 155,000 miles“I was involved in an auto rollover accident on January2, 2023 when a driver t-boned me in my 2008 Infiniti Qx56 striking the middle of the passenger side of my Qx56 after running a stop sign and failing to yield to my right of way causing my Qx56 to roll over 3 times. My driver's steering wheel airbag did NOT deploy. To my knowledge all the other airbags did deploy. I suffered neck, right shoulder, and lower back injuries from the rollover but remained in the driver's seat as the seatbelt system worked well. My Qx56 was a total loss.”
