What owners say
My car was involved in a accident where the front end crumpled but the airbags did not deploy. My daughter was the driver and she was traveling down a 6 lane highway at 30 miles an hour when a van coming out of a median crossed in front of her. She ended up "t" boning the van.
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 infiniti g35. While driving 35 MPH, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact lost control and crashed into a tree.

I am the owner of a 2008 infiniti g35 sedan. It has low miles (82,000) for the year and has been meticulously maintained at the dealership throughout its lifetime. Recently we had an issue with an airbag sensor failing resulting in the passenger airbag remaining off. In the event of a collision the airbag would not deploy and this could result in very serious bodily injury. A quick search on the federal safety agency website shows that there is a recall for this very issue for my model year, however my specific vehicle was not included on this recall. This is a very unique failure and has happened to multiple people as evidenced on the complaints section of the federal safety agency website. This is a systematic failure in manufacturing the vehicle and is putting customers in harm's way. I contacted infiniti to discuss repairing the failure however I was told that infiniti would not help us in any way. The representative, steven, I spoke with made the decision to put me and my family at risk in order to save money. He stated that he 'carefully considered' all the facts of my case and would not step in and repair this crucial safety defect. I made him aware that this failure was unique and systematic and that it fits the description of the recall placed on other vehicles and that it poses a serious safety risk to myself and my family. Steven reiterated that infiniti would not help us repair this issue and that my concerns were 'noted'. He then told me that I could take this concern up to the bbb or nhsta. It is apparent that infiniti does not care what so ever about its customer's safety or wellbeing. Infiniti has chosen to put people at risk of severe bodily harm in order to save a few dollars. This is very disturbing news and has shaped my opinion about the company. I would urge the federal safety agency to look into this because it is a known manufacturing defect.

Airbags did not deploy in a recent accident
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 infiniti g35. The contact was involved in a crash and the air bags failed to deploy. Details of the crash were not available. A police report was filed. The contact sustained chest contusions and abdominal pain from hitting the steering wheel that required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 174,000.
Vehicle accelerated rapidly while coming to a stop in a slot parking space. Operators foot was on the break peddle at the time of the rapid acceleration. Vehicle then crashed into a tree and came to a complete stop. The crash caused extensive front end damage to the hood and front bumper and the energy absorbing system. The air bags did not deploy but the air bag indicator lamp is on.
I was almost a complete stop when I was rear ended. The impact was pretty hard, and the vehicle was ultimately a total loss. At the time of collision, my drivers side seat collapsed back on me almost to a full recline position. Due to this, my seat belt was completely loose, and felt as if I did not have one on. I slid down, and my ankles were bruised on top, and my baseball cap flew off into the back seat. Also, the airbag did not deploy.
The airbag light has been on in my 2003 infinity g35 since the beginning of the year. I have recently taken the car to a reputable repair shop, and was not pleased to find that in this condition the airbag will not deploy. I have since found that there was a recall for airbag malfunctions in the 2005-2008 infinity g35's. The 2003 infinity g35's were not included, but yet there are other 2003 g35 owners that have had with similar problems. Unfortunately, some of them were injured when the airbag did not deploy.
