5 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2005 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 12/04/2014

There is a issue with the air bag system in the manufactured cars and trucks made by the Nissan corparation. 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.

10 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2008 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 02/01/2010

I was driving my 2008 Infiniti G35 through a heavy rainstorm at 11:30 am, going east on glade rd. , boca raton, FL. , in the middle lane at approximately 35 mph, when a car in the left lane of this three lane rd. , cut me off. I hit the brakes hard and my brakes completely locked up, putting me into a skid onto the right swale and my car, skidding violently, smashed into a tree. Although the car hit the tree almost head-on, only the left front side air bag went off. The steering wheel bag never went off. I was wearing my seat belt, and the my chest was smashed against the air bag straps and left me with severe welts and terrible pain for over two months. My right tibia and fibula were broken and displaced. Two surgeries and three months in a cast and bed-ridden, I am finally doing much better. I notified Nissan that the front air-bag and the anti-lock braking system never activated. They did a cursory investigation and said nothing went wrong. I know that's not true. I never once felt any pulsing from the brakes after my application, and the non-working steering wheel air bag speaks for itself.

11 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2008 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 07/07/2009

On July 7, 2009 our 2008 Infiniti G35 sedan (v1) was involved in a front end collision with the rear end of a non-moving truck (v2). Estimated speed was anywhere from 25-45 mph (speed limit of the road is 45mph). Police were called to scene. Ambulance was called for injuries to driver and passenger of v2. Driver of v1 declined treatment. Driver of v1 later complained of dizziness, neck pain. V1 was un-drivable and towed from the scene. Airbags did not deploy on v1. Upon review, a recall is in effect for the year, make and model of v1 for "lack" of airbag deployment. Upon contacting Infiniti to explore the recall issued in 2008 on v1, Infiniti reps stated that the VIN number of v1 was not included in the recall. Upon conversations with repair service and others, these persons were surprised that the airbags did not deploy, with the severity of the front end crash. Our concern is that the current state of v1 is unsafe for future operation and the reliability of the deployment of the airbags is uncertain.
