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. *TR
