Airbags did not deploy in a recent accident
I had brought my vehicle in for the airbag recall. About 10-15 miles away from the dealer my airbag light went on. I called the dealer and service manager said the mechanic may have forgotten to reset computer and to come back at next service since dealer is not close to home or work. When I brought the csr back to dealer, they said it was not part of the recall but the wiring harness and airbag sensors need to be replaced for $1800. I refused to get it fixed and left. Car has 210000 miles on it and the light is still on.
Took car in to have passenger airbag harness replaced per recall. While in the shop, a critical concern was noted that the driver airbag module and spiral cable failed and needed to be replaced at a cost to the vehicle owner of $1,434. Nissan customer service was contacted and refused to pay for the part replacement. The airbag light is illuminated on the dash and I was told that until the airbag parts are replaced, the airbag may not deploy in the event of a collision. It is my contention that nissan should fix a known safety defect associated with its airbags and that a recall should also be placed on the driver side airbag for this model and year vehicle.

2005 infiniti g35 sedan. Consumer found many problems with car and feels been fooled by dealership. *ta the consumer stated two days, after he purchased the vehicle, he noticed defect. A mechanic confirmed the air bag was not functioning, as the light was flashing, the tires were overly worn, the cd player was not working, the passenger door would not shut properly, the wheels were not aligned and the lower cat shield made a noise.
There is a issue with the air bag system in the manufactured cars and trucks made by the nissan corporation. A call back was issued for the passenger side air bags but not the driver side steering column. A coil located internal within the steering column is defect and will not allow the air bag to deploy in an emergency. Safety of the driver should be the primary issue when a company puts their name on a product like a motor vehicle. There are only two safety features located for the drivers safety. Please address my concerns by issuing a call back on the nissan vehicles that have this defect for the drivers safety thank you respectfully
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti g35. While operating the vehicle, the air bag sensor light flashed off and on, which indicated that the air bag system was faulty. The dealer diagnosed that the driver side curtain air bag was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 70,000. ....updated 01/12/15*bf the consumer stated the vehicle was recall for an air bag issue in 2010. However, the problem has since returned. Updated 01/15/15
While driving normally on the highway, the airbag indicator light on the dash came on and started to blink. After stopping and turning the car off and on, the light still blinks. Trying to perform an ecu reset, the blinking stops for about 1 minute and resumes. Took the car to the infiniti dealership in palm springs, ca and was informed that the recall has already been applied to my vehicle. The problem still persists and I was informed that if I don't fix it, the airbags will not deploy in the event of a crash. If the recall has been applied, then the problem should not be happening.
Since october 2012 (approximate), I have noticed increased oil consumption in the 2005 g35. Currently, the car is consuming approximately 1/2 quart every 1000 miles. There are no oil leaks or visible smoke from the exhaust. The condition continues to deteriorate. Also passenger side curtain air bag light is illuminated. I had it tested to identify which air bag was defective.
My airbag light came on and I had it fixed under the recall. A short while after that, it came back on and was told I needed an airbag module. I find it weird that my vehicle and a lot of other infiniti g35s have this same problem in this order. Also every time I left dealership, a week after, I realized the they had damaged the brackets that hold the plastic cover to the front of the seats.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated sporadically. The dealer stated that the passenger side air bag harness kit needed to be updated. The driver side air bag was previously repaired according to the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v175000 (air bags, seats). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 107,000.
While driving the car the engine lights come on and the car shuts completely off, no power at all, no control of car at all. I almost had an accident. The car does start again. This has happened two more times since. Very scary. This is a huge safety concern. It happens without notice. I called infiniti and was told my car was not manufactured at the plant they were calling recalls for. Well excuse me infiniti your problem is wide spread and extremely dangerous (my infinity case number for this problem **as well as my passenger airbag sensor problem they are not willing to address is 15697563). They informed me the airbag sensor was replaced in 2010 - it was not. I have the car-facts to prove this. Infiniti stated to bring my car back to norwood, massachusetts infiniti for a diagnostic. I will do this this week but sadly expect the same run around I have received before. This car between the two safety issues I have reported above is at extreme crash and injury risk.
The airbag light in my 2005 infiniti g35 came on, on or about march 2014. I was told by the dealer it was the harness which was covered under a recall. The harness was repaired and I picked up my car. The airbag light came back on. I took it back to the dealer and was told I needed a new airbag module. I called infiniti corporate and filed a claim. Infiniti corporate agreed to pay for the airbag module. I took the car back to the dealer and they replaced the airbag module. The light came back on. I took the car back to the dealer and was told I needed a spiral cable, and "that will be $600, let us know when to order the part". I called infiniti corporate to reopen my claim. I questioned why the airbag light keeps illuminating when the harness and airbag module have been replaced. I was told "sometimes it's a 3 step process". Infiniti corporate later denied the claim stating they replaced the airbag module as a favor and they only allow 1 favor per customer. They also stated they were told the spiral cable may not fix the problem. I have reviewed blogs about the 2005 infiniti g35 and there are numerous owners who have had the same problem with the airbag and have paid out of pocket but the airbag problem was not resolved. I understand the federal government is also looking at airbag issues with several models of car. I would like you to look into the airbag issue further as clearly the harness (which was recalled) does not resolve the airbag issue on the 2005 infiniti g35.
There was a recall for airbags on this vehicle on april 27, 2010. I purchased this vehicle about a month ago. The air bag light has been blinking every since day one, so I looked up the recalls and found that this was a problems. I also called infinity and they said the recall on this vehicle had been fixed and no further assistance will be given to this vehicle. I have read numerous complaints with this same matter, and believe that the problems has never been fixed by the dealer, unless they performed a partial fix to get the customer out of the door. This is a serious problem especially if this vehicle is involved in a crash and the air bag does not deploy and another innocent person may be killed by this ongoing problem. If this happens, I am like the other complaints, I will seek legal action against nissan and infinity for their poor customer satisfaction as reported by so many other customers and nothing is being done.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was flashing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 158,000.
I own a 2005 infiniti g35x. The air bag warning lamp illuminates intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed that the passenger seat air bag sensor was defective and needed to be replaced, an estimated repair cost of $1200 was provided. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who refused to provided any assistance since the vehicle had already been repaired under recall the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v175000 (air bags, seats), but clearly the vehicle was never repaired. Investigation of the infiniti user forum will clearly indicate that airbag failure (post recall) is very common in this particular model, while infiniti/nissan is continually ignoring the issue. After reading all the complaints in the forums and the federal safety agency website, I believe that infiniti/nissan never repaired the cars under the recall, but merely disabled the warning light during the recall repair visit. The initial failure mileage was approximately at 65000 miles. The failure happens intermittently. The current mileage is 89600. I request the federal safety agency to investigate in the matter and help the consumers from an impending fatal disaster.

The sedan has an airbag that does not work properly the airbag light flashes non stop on the vehicle and does not go away. L looked online and saw a previous recall on this issue and the problem still remains. I took it to the dealership to be told that it was my fault and they do not warranty safety issues anymore. They continues to print out a statement for $1000 dollars with a code b1134. Its a $35,000 dollar car it should not have "safety" issues. Maybe because it is to expensive to deal with or is a human life more expensive. The airbags are obviously not working properly and the fact that they want to charge me for an issue they need to resolve internally is not very good business practice or professional. I know of other consumers online that have had the same issue plenty of people online with complaints. Being its a safety issue this needs to be addressed asap. If I were to get into an accident and the airbag does not deploy I will take legal action. I have no issue with that just have an issue with infiniti not taking responsibility. Thanks

A safety recall notice was issued on 7-12-10 indicating a potential hazard for the passenger airbag not to activate upon a crash. Apparently a remedy for the problem was identified by nissan/infinity and was carried out on the vehicle in 2011. Subsequent to that repair I purchased the vehicle from its 2nd owner and in approximately july 2013 the same problem reoccurred. This necessitated my visit to the infinity dealer to both diagnose and repair the problem. Again a remedy was identified by nissan/infinity but the remedy had changed from the previous one. As the first remedy was part of a recall and paid for through the dealer, I am requesting that the subsequently remedy be subject to another recall or be a continuation of the first recall. I was informed by the dealer that the cost of the remedy was my responsibility since it was not the subject of a 2nd recall,even for the same safety issue. I am at a loss as to why this is not the same ongoing safety issue identified in april 2010, only to be later identified and assigned a different remedy, probably because the initial remedy failed and did so over a relatively short period of time? Please clarify. Thank you
My car has the "dtc b1129 or b1134" related to "itb12-034b" and "itb10-036b" but when I called infiniti dealership, they said that my car's VIN does not apply. It's exactly the issue described on the recall campaign bulletin how does this not apply? It's the deterioration of the terminal connector that increases impedance on the harness and causes the airbag light to come on falsely but it's enough to cost money. Why doesn't the infiniti dealership do this?

Passenger side air bags failure warning light is blinking...this is the second occurrence. Infiniti is refusing to repair this know issue by not wanting to replace the airbag at no cost.

2005 infiniti g35 coupe in may of 2010 an air bag light came on in my car. Dreyer reinbold infiniti in indianapolis looked at it, said they didn't know what the problem was and needed to replace the whole system for $3000. My car at that time had around 87,000 miles on it and I'm the original owner. Both air bags are not working either. Then in june there was a recall on the air bags on my car. I had it looked at and my car still does not have air bags working. Infiniti of north america says they will not fix the problem as it's not part of the recall. Other than paying their $3000 what can I do? Dreyer reinbold has been nothing but a pain to me. Thank you for you help.
