Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Driver's seat not secure.
Vacuuming car and put both seats in a forward position. When I was done the seats would not move back to its regular position. Passenger seat was already giving me electrical problems, however back part of seat still worked. The driver's seat I had never had problems with before. Both seats are now in an awkward undrivable position and will not budge. I do not know what the problem is but what I do know is that the dealer will not sell individual parts, but the seat as a whole which will set me back a couple thousand that I do not have.
While eating lunch at bojangles in petersburg, va., people inside the restaurant noticed smoke coming out of my car while parked. Fire department was called and fire was extinguished by a volunteer firefighter in area. Fire department arrived afterwards. It appears the seat caught fire unexpectedly. Interior of car also caught fire and was on burning until extinguished.
Driving 70 mile in fwy my car engine just shut off completely I almost died out there because of cars behind me. I calmly changed steering wheel to right side of fwy with left over speed after 5 of vehicle behind me almost crashed me and each other. Turn off engine and started engine few time and it worked so I sent my car to shop and they said it's a 2 of sensor prob. And while he was moving my car, driver side seat switch button was on fire! Fire! What is going on. I would have been killed out there if not for god. I see a lot of people complained on sensor prob with engine shut off, isn't this dangerous to drive???? Risking all of people's lives????
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.
Cam shaft sensor check engine light came on saying it was that. Replaced both sensors costing $150 for autozone parts light still on. Read that some had success unplugging battery for 24 hours and filling the oil up.....smh sad seat slides forward when breaking about 4".
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti g35. The contact stated that the federal safety agency campaign number 10v175000 (air bags, seats) was performed however the air bag warning light was illuminated. The dealer performed a diagnostic which advised that the air bag module, spiral cable and sensor control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not further repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 142,000. Updated 2/11/014
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
