THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE MANUFACTURED CARS AND TRUCKS MADE BY THE NISSAN CORPORATION. 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 *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FLASHED OFF AND ON, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FAULTY.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. ....UPDATED 01/12/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALL FOR AN AIR BAG ISSUE IN 2010. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RETURNED. UPDATED 01/15/15

APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A 2005 INFINITI G35 FOR MY DAUGHTER. TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER - REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THERE WOULD BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING, SO IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR HER TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AT RANDOM EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION; PARTICULARLY, FOR A TEENAGE DRIVER. I GOOGLED THE CAR'S ISSUES, AND LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON 2005 INFINITI G35'S FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS CAUSING THIS LOSS OF POWER PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT. AN INFINITI DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR THIS MORNING AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR'S CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THIS RECALL ON EVERY 2005 INFINITI G35 VEHICLE - NOT JUST THOSE VEHICLES WHOSE VIN NUMBERS APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST - ESPECIALLY THOSE VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THE SENSOR FAIL. THE REPAIR TOTALS $425.00 AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF THAT AMOUNT FROM NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STARTED TO BLINK. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THE LIGHT STILL BLINKS. TRYING TO PERFORM AN ECU RESET, THE BLINKING STOPS FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND RESUMES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP IN PALM SPRINGS, CA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IF I DON'T FIX IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THE RECALL HAS BEEN APPLIED, THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR

SINCE OCTOBER 2012 (APPROXIMATE), I HAVE NOTICED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2005 G35. CURRENTLY, THE CAR IS CONSUMING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS OR VISIBLE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CONDITION CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE. ALSO PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. I HAD IT TESTED TO IDENTIFY WHICH AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. A SHORT WHILE AFTER THAT, IT CAME BACK ON AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN AIRBAG MODULE. I FIND IT WEIRD THAT MY VEHICLE AND A LOT OF OTHER INFINITI G35S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THIS ORDER. ALSO EVERY TIME I LEFT DEALERSHIP, A WEEK AFTER, I REALIZED THE THEY HAD DAMAGED THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC COVER TO THE FRONT OF THE SEATS. *TR
