2007 Infiniti G35

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ON 2007 G35X WITH 87000 MILES. DEALER SAID IT WAS SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT AT A COST OF $5500 TO REPLACE. THESE SEAT AIRBSG SENSORS FOR 04-07 WERE RECALLED BUT MY CAR WAS MADE DECEMBER 2006, OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED. NOW I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO AIRBAG SYSTEM.

A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY INFINITI, A 2007 G35X MODEL OCCURRED RANDOMLY, WITH ODOMETER READING AROUND 160,000 MILES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLASH WITHOUT HAVING BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR IN ANYWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS MODULE WAS NOT DUE TO NEGLECT OR ERROR ON MY PART. UPON MY RESEARCH, I FOUND AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL ON 2006 AND SOME 2007 G35X INFINITI'S, BUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. A REPORT FOUND ON THE MOTOR SAFETY WEBSITE HTTPS://WWW.MOTORSAFETY.ORG/CATEGORY/INFINITI/ STATED THIS ISSUE AND RECALL IMPACTED MORE CARS THAN INITIALLY IDENTIFIED, INCLUDING MY MODEL AND YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI CORPORATION ASKING THEM FOR HELP COVERING THE COST OF THIS $6000 REPAIR BECAUSE THE INSPECTING MECHANIC STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A CAR WITH A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFINITI CORPORATION DECLINED COVERING THE REPAIR NOR AGREED TO PROVIDE A $6000 CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER INFINITI VEHICLE SINCE THE VALUE OF A 2007 MODEL WITHOUT AIRBAG ISSUES IS ABOUT $4000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 INFINITI G35 TUESDAY JUNE 25, 2019 THE VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AND HOME. HAVE HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS AND IT HAD LOW MILES AT PURCHASE.THERE IS A LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, AND VEHICLE RUNS WITH A HIGH IDLE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY AS I WAS DRIVING WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.THE VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE CAMSHAFT SENSOR/EVT CONTROL SENSOR/ EVT CONTROL MAGNET RETARDER. I HAVE PHOTOS, STILL SHOTS PICS, VIDEOS OF MYSELF DRIVING AND THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CAM SHAFT SENSOR. I HAVE PICS OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TRUCK THAT ALMOST SLAMMED INTO MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CURRENTLY ON. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE DIAGNOSTICS THE DAY I ARRIVED WHICH NALLEY INFINITI IN MARIETTA GA IS DOUBLE CHARGING ME $161.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC I ALREADY RECEIVED. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $2298.06 FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE RECALL GRAPH FROM INFINITY NORTH AMERICA INC SHOWING THE NUMBER OF RECALLS WITHIN THE LAST 15 YEARS. I GAVE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL ALONG WITH SUPPORTING EVIDENCE TO MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF MY DEATH INVOLVING A FATAL ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE FAULTY DEFECTIVE CAMSHAFT SENSOR/ EVT CONTROL SENSOR/ EVT CONTROL MAGNET RETARDER. I NOTATED THAT I INFORMED NALLEY INFINITY AS A OWNER AND CONSUMER, AND THEY KNEW ABOUT ABOUT THE RECALL, BUT THEY DID NOT DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE BY REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE SENSORS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MY CARE BEFORE I PURCHASED AND THEY WON'T HONOR OR EXTEND THE RECALL #06V394000, 01V357. I'VE OWNED VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND LESS THAN 39,000 MILES AT PURCHASE. I WANT NALLEY INFINITI TO TOTALLY REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP VIA TOW TRUCK ON 6/25/19. STARTED 6/22/19 PROBLEM GOT WORSE RAPIDLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS WATER INSIDE BOTH HEADLIGHT UNITS. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT UNIT FAILED AGAIN.

VISITED INFINITY DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO SPORADIC ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN 1ST GEAR ONLY TO LATER FIND THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE STALLED ON HIGHWAY NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN 1ST GEAR. NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ELUDING TO THE FACT THAT THEIR IS AN ISSUE. ISSUES HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND DEALERSHIP IS AWARE. SUSPICIOUSLY, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT NAMED BUT A VERY BASIC SEARCH ONLINE DOES UNCOVER THAT NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS PUTTING CONSUMERS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. SAME SCENARIO WITH MY PASSENGER SEAT WORKING SPORADICALLY.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATES "AIRBAG OFF" WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT OCCUPANT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (WEIGHING 140+ POUNDS). THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, AND UNDER VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. THE VEHICLE HAS 137,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ISSUE HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED YEARS AGO BUT WAS NOT AS FREQUENT.

THERE IS HESITATION, ALMOST STALLING, WHEN I AM EITHER GOING SLOW, WHEN I AM TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION, OR WHEN I AM GOING UP A HILL BEHIND VEHICLES AT A LIGHT, SO I AM STARTING AND STOPPING BECAUE WE ARE NOT GETTING THROUGH THE LIGHT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A BULLETIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I TRY TO PULL OUT AND MY CAR HESITATES, STOPS, OR STALLS IT CAN PUT ME AND OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN MADE A RECALL. I'VE HAD IT FIXED ONCE ALREADY AND THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE BULLETIN # ITB11-018. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR HAVING A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THEY MADE IT WRONG. HESITATION IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT TAKE OFF PROPERLY FROM LIGHTS OR PULLING OUT ONTO STREETS. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THANK YOU.
