IllustrationMY CAR IS TEN YEARS OLD, FROM OHIO, SHOULD MY FRAME BE RUSTED OUT UNDERNEATH TO THE POINT THAT MY REAR LEFT TIRE COMPONENT IS ABOUT TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME? EVERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD MAKES A NOISE LIKE A HAMMER HITTING METAL AND IT HAS WORN OUT THE LEFT REAR SHOCK. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS IRREPLACEABLE

REAR GALLEY GASKET FAILURE, VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ONLY HAS 56K MILES ON THE ENGINE. IS DAILY DRIVEN AND NOT USED FOR ANY DRIVING OUTSIDE OF THE DAY TO DAY ROUTINE. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WHILE THEY SEE THESE GASKET FAILURES OFTEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANY TYPE OF WORK ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO IT BEING OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE FIX WILL BE TO REPLACE THE GASKET WHICH WILL BE A 4,000$ REPAIR, ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD AND HAS LOW MILES. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND INSTANTLY THREW THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE, BECAUSE OF THE LOWERED OIL PRESSURE READING, WHICH RESULTED IN A CAR UNABLE TO CONTINUE HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT LIMP MODE WAS AND WHAT WAS OCCURRING THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE IN THE VQ37VHR ENGINE. I WAS SURPRISED THIS ISN'T ALREADY A RECALL ISSUE.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES RED ON THE DASH PANEL INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ON. IT ALSO SHOWS ON THE PANEL UNDER THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM SENSOR THE IN THE PASSENGER BOTTOM SEAT. INFINITI HAS HAD RECALLS AND …

THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES RED ON THE DASH PANEL INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ON. IT ALSO SHOWS ON THE PANEL UNDER THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM SENSOR THE IN THE PASSENGER BOTTOM SEAT. INFINITI HAS HAD RECALLS AND ISSUES WITH THIS SRS SYSTEM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THEY DID NOT RECALL THE 20109 INFINITI G37. MY G37 HAS APPROXIMATELY 50,500 MILES AND THEY WANT OVER $6,700. 00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. TO TURN OFF THE BLINKING LIGHT REQUIRES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO BE DISABLED. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I AM NOW DRIVING A VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY AIRBAG PROTECTION.
AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. I RESET AND IT CAME BACK. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD AND NEED TO BE FIXED BY NISSAN
TAKATA RECALL MY CAR BATTERY DIED TO I HAD TO CHARGE IT UP AND AS SOON AS I GOT IT TOO START THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT, STILL FAILED AND ONCE SOMEONE SIT ON THE SEAT IT COME RIGHT BACK ON IF NOT ANYONE ON THE SEAT AS WELL.
TAKATA RECALL SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER HAVE STATED AIRBAG LIGHT, DUE TO PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS. ALSO MELTING DASHBOARD, THAT CAUSES GLARE TO VISIBILITY AND A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAGS DID WORK. UNFORTUNATELY, THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DISABLED DUE TO THE SENSOR. BOTH THE DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG SENSORS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER NISSA…

TAKATA RECALL SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER HAVE STATED AIRBAG LIGHT, DUE TO PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS. ALSO MELTING DASHBOARD, THAT CAUSES GLARE TO VISIBILITY AND A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAGS DID WORK. UNFORTUNATELY, THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DISABLED DUE TO THE SENSOR. BOTH THE DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG SENSORS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER NISSAN AND INFINITI MODELS BUT NOT THIS MODEL. PRETTY MUCH ALL THE SAME PARTS FOR THE THE DASH AND AIRBAGS BUT THIS MODEL HAS BEEN EXCLUDED.
AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING. CAR HAS 75K MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO INFINITI FOR REPAIR. THEY SAY THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE.
