Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Infiniti QX60 now has created a constant yellow false warning picture/light on in car indicating that the passenger air bag if off even though no one is sitting in the seat. If an infant or a small child is placed in the seat, since the yellow warning picture/ light is always on, a true and actual hazard may be overlooked. There is no need for a false constant warning light when no one is sitting in the seat. Ask Infiniti to fix the problem with the air bag so that it works as the manual indicates. …”
