7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2020

When I bought my 2014 Infiniti Q50 I put it on the road and then I started receiving recalls. I also had several lights on. I brought it back to dealership they did something like clearing the lights without even looking at it. 45 days after I bought this vehicle I was in a serious motor vehicle accident. I almost died and I lost my spleen. One of the airbags didn't deploy which was the reasoning for losing my spleen. I believe my steering locked up and ended up hitting guardrail. Total loss. I lost 4,000 because of this accident never mind I all most lost my life!!! this accident happened on the highway.

13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2015

Hi, I purchased this vehicle at 7/31/2015. It's a brand new Q50 2015 premium. I met two issues about 1. It's passenger air bag. The passenger air bag status light is on with an adult occupying the front passenger seat for the first a few minutes, sometimes is 2 mins, sometimes is even 5 mins, but it supposed to be off after 7 seconds. I'm worried about the my safety in that period. 2. The seat belt issue. Once I was sitting on the passenger seat, I didn't buckle up yet, but the seat belt status lights was not illuminated. Yesterday, my boyfriend dropped me off, after I left the passenger seat and took off my car, he saw the seat belt status light was on. I tried to communicate with the dealer and customer service, but it seems they can't help me at all. They just told me there's no code shows any issues need to be fixed. I really want to just return the car.
