2011 Infiniti G37

NISSAN/INFINITI SAFETY ISSUE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BLINKING - SEWELL INFINITI MENTIONED THAT IT WAS THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR AND IT WOULD BE ROUGHLY 6000 TO FIX. THIS IS AN INSANE AMOUNT FOR A DEADLY ISSUE AS MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS A TREND OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH THE G37, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. NISSAN/INFINITI HAVE SEVERAL OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM - THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER THEY ARE TRYING TO SWEEP UNDER THE RUG ON A CAR WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 36,000 MILES AND HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE ISSUE UP UNTIL NOW.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND COULD NOT UNLOCK WITH KEY NOR COULD DEALER REPAIR SHOP. A DEALER REPAIR PERSON SAID IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL. DEALER WILL HAVE TO BREAK THE LOCK AND REINSTALL AT A COST OF $1,500+. THE CAR ONLY HAS 55,000+MILES, AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ISSUED OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS TO NHTSA. ONE PERSON CITED THAT THE MANUFACTURE OF THE "PART" TOLD NISSAN TO "RECALL" AND REPLACE THE PART. INIFINITY IS A PART OF NISSAN, BUT I HAVE YET TO FIND A "RECALL" ISSUED FOR THAT REASON BY NISSAN NOR ITS SUBSIUARY - INFINITI.

A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL AND THE LIGHT CONTINUED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INFINITI DEALER AND HE SAID THE ENTIRE SEAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE SENSOR FOR AN EXCESSIVE COST OF OF $6,711.08. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED ON 2012 AND LATER MODELS, BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 2008 - 2011 MODELS OUT THERE THAT CAN INCUR THIS RIDICULOUS HIGH COST AND OWNERS HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT IT MAY COST TOMORROW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 INFINITI G37. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOKEY NISSAN (27758 U.S. HWY 19 NORTH, CLEARWATER, FL 33761, (727-264-0805), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN MANY PLACES, STICKY OR TACKY IN SOME AREAS AND COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED IN OTHERS. ALL THE A.C. VENTS HAVE CRACKS AROUND THEM. I HAD A 2010 INFINITY G37 PREVIOUSLY AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DASH. I BELIEVE IT'S AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH NISSAN/INFINITY. THEY'VE HAD PROBLEMS ALSO WITH THE ALTIMA AND DID ISSUE A RECALL IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. MY WIFE HAS A 1996 TOYOTA 4RUNNER AND HER DASH IS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION AND IT'S 15 YEARS OLDER THAN MY INFINITY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE NEED FOR A RECALL. THANK YOU.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN BLINKING. I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED AND THE DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE COST IS $7,000. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE SEAT. SO, NO AIRBAG WILL BE DEPLOYED IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? THIS SHOULD BE ON THE MAKER OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT THE CONSUMER.
