“Picked up the vechicle on the afternoon of june 23 2015. On the way home the air bag warning light flashed so we returned to the dealership. They did something and stted is was aloose wire. Next day (on a trip) the air bag light started flashing again. Returned the vechicle to the dealer for three days and was told some parts were replaced. Two days later air bag light was on again. Returned to the dealer (third time) they could not find detail of fault even though the light was obviously flashing. They said they would contact infinity and get technical help but that the vehicle was safe. …”

“The airbag system in my recently purchased (4 months ago)QX80 Infiniti 2015 is malfunctioning/failed. It is available for inspection upon request. The warning light came on within 2 months of my purchase. I took it to the dealerships for repair, was told “this is unusual for this age car & mileage” stating it was the driver curtain airbag module which I paid a large amount to have replaced. When I received the car back, the warning light was no longer on. A month & a half later, the warning light returned. …”

“Airbag light started flashing continuously while driving home on an 8 hour road trip on the interstate. I brought the car to the dealership once returning home, and they stated that they found a code for the left hand curtain air bag module assembly. Then proceeded to tell me that the driver side curtain airbag module assembly needs to be replaced, and if the light continues to flash then the wire harness will need to be replaced as well. This is a serious safety issue. If my vehicle would have been in an accident my airbags may not have deployed. …”
