Takata recall - 16v‑349. Rcvd recall notice approx. Early august 2016 (letter not dated which is strange). I called dealer who said to call cons affairs because they were not made of anything related to parts. 6 weeks has now passed and cons affairs told me it may be another 6 weeks or longer. Their advice to me is to simply not let anyone ride in the passenger seat. For a few weeks, I can accommodate this but long term this is not an option. I need to have people sit in the front seat. I've never had such a horrible experience ... To this day I still do not know a timeline for when my car will get fixed and everyday that goes by where I can't have a front seat passenger costs me money.

Parts distribution disconnect. Updated 09/20/16
Infiniti claims that they don't want me to have a passenger ride with me until the parts are received to fix it this fall, but that is not an option. I feel they should provide an alternative vehicle until the vehicle is fixed.
Takata recall, my wife called the number and talked to someone at infiniti. But our car shuts off in traffic,,,by the grace of god, we narrowly escaped three/four different accidents. And as we were searching for the problem, we noticed a recall for that also. She asked about a loaner vehicle until the recall can be fixed. But to no avail. Im not sure of what to do, its a very bad situation when your car just shuts off, the steering wheel locks and you began a slow coast in moving traffic. And I feel we shouldn't have to miss work, kids miss practice, and just sit home until the problem is fixed. We have no other vehicle , and terrified to drive this one,,, the recall says " do not allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat"......and it also shifts down,, im not sure how the infiniti loaner program works, bit I decided to write this site because it is at the bottom of the safety recall notice we received.
Takata recall vehicle purchased around 2009 in florida. Airbag safety indicator light flashing sometime around early 2015. Took vehicle for safety inspection and was told that upon deployment of the air bag, excessive internal pressure is likely to cause inflator to rupture. Contacted manufacturer for coverage under recall, nissan / infiniti refused to replace the airbag under recall, despite possibility that, in the event of a crash involving deployment of the air bag, inflator is likely to rupture with peices of metal projected into the vehicle occupants and potentially resulting in serious injury or death. I would like the manufacturer to cover this safety concern for my vehicle under recall # 15v226000, recall # 14v701000 or any other related recalls. Please note that the march 1, 2015 date of occurrence is approximate.

I am trying to get a definitive answer on my vehicle's airbags. I have been unable to determine if my vehicle was assembled using the recalled takata inflators. I have contacted nissan consumer affairs on several occasions and I have been given conflicting information. When I enter the VIN of my vehicle on the federal safety agency website it does not return a "hit" for a recall. However; on more than one occasion I was advised by nissan consumer affairs that the recall was only applicable to vehicles in high humidity areas and they listed the affected states and geographic areas. Maryland was not on that list. My understanding is that the recall was expanded to include all geographic areas but I have not been able to obtain a definitive answer if my vehicle is now part of the recall. Nissan claims it cannot determine if my vehicle was assembled using takata airbag systems yet it says that my VIN is not affected. Given the high degree of risk of driving a vehicle with defective airbags I must have an accurate assessment if takata airbags/inflators are in my vehicle. I have asked nissan if they can inspect the vehicle to make this determination but they have refused unless and until I have a problem with the airbags. The obvious problem with this position is that an airbag defect could be fatal. I am counting on your agency to assist me with this issue. Thank you
I purchased the 2006 infiniti m35 from approval one, laplace, la on 3/16/2012 . I was not shown a carfax report. It was financed by asi federal credit union for $16,000. The car would stop in the middle of traffic. I received a recall notice on the car sensor and brought the car in per letter. I was then told that the camshaft sensor was the problem and not related to the recall. The transmission began to have problems shifting gears and I brought the car into ray brant infiniti and was told a part on the transmission was the problem. That would cost me $2,300.00. I decided to trade in the car on 8/2/2014 and was given a carfax report showing structural damage, airbag deployed, and the car had been in an accident. I was told by several dealers that no one would take the car relating to the damage. I reported to asi federal credit union. As a result, I have a car not fitted to be on the highway transporting my family in and am responsible for paying $16,000.00 this car should not be on the highway.
On november 09, 2011 we were involved in a four vehicle crash. We were driving northbound on the highway when a vehicle driving at least at 70 MPH struck us from behind, causing our vehicle to impact another vehicle in the front. My vehicle was a declared a total loss, none of the airbags in my vehicle deployed with the impacts. Due to airbag failure my husband and I received severe injuries.
