2005 Infiniti G35

A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED ON 7-12-10 INDICATING A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT TO ACTIVATE UPON A CRASH. APPARENTLY A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED BY NISSAN/INFINITY AND WAS CARRIED OUT ON THE VEHICLE IN 2011. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT REPAIR I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM ITS 2ND OWNER AND IN APPROXIMATELY JULY 2013 THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCURRED. THIS NECESSITATED MY VISIT TO THE INFINITY DEALER TO BOTH DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. AGAIN A REMEDY WAS IDENTIFIED BY NISSAN/INFINITY BUT THE REMEDY HAD CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. AS THE FIRST REMEDY WAS PART OF A RECALL AND PAID FOR THROUGH THE DEALER, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE SUBSEQUENTLY REMEDY BE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER RECALL OR BE A CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE COST OF THE REMEDY WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE IT WAS NOT THE SUBJECT OF A 2ND RECALL,EVEN FOR THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHY THIS IS NOT THE SAME ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE IDENTIFIED IN APRIL 2010, ONLY TO BE LATER IDENTIFIED AND ASSIGNED A DIFFERENT REMEDY, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE INITIAL REMEDY FAILED AND DID SO OVER A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME? PLEASE CLARIFY. THANK YOU

MY CAR HAS THE "DTC B1129 OR B1134" RELATED TO "ITB12-034B" AND "ITB10-036B" BUT WHEN I CALLED INFINITI DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT MY CAR'S VIN DOES NOT APPLY. IT'S EXACTLY THE ISSUE DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN HOW DOES THIS NOT APPLY? IT'S THE DETERIORATION OF THE TERMINAL CONNECTOR THAT INCREASES IMPEDANCE ON THE HARNESS AND CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON FALSELY BUT IT'S ENOUGH TO COST MONEY. WHY DOESN'T THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP DO THIS? *TR

2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE IN MAY OF 2010 AN AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. DREYER REINBOLD INFINITI IN INDIANAPOLIS LOOKED AT IT, SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM FOR $3000. MY CAR AT THAT TIME HAD AROUND 87,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. BOTH AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER. THEN IN JUNE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND MY CAR STILL DOES NOT HAVE AIR BAGS WORKING. INFINITI OF NORTH AMERICA SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. OTHER THAN PAYING THEIR $3000 WHAT CAN I DO? DREYER REINBOLD HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN TO ME. THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP. *TR
