NHTSA Complaint #11060979 — 2003 INFINITI G35

AIRBAG LIGHT: THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD IS FLASHING. THE REASON I AM BRINGING THIS UP IS BECAUSE THE OWNER'S MANUAL FROM INFINITI STATES THAT WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I HAVE SEARCHED ON INFINITI AND G35 FORUMS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS. IT ALSO APPEARS AS THOUGH INFINITI WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM FOR OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LUCKILY THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT WITH MY CAR YET AND I INTEND TO GET IT FIXED SO THAT I HAVE MY AIRBAGS OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA RECOMMENDS WHEN I TAKE MY CAR INTO A AN AUTHORIZED INFINITI/NISSAN SERVICE CENTER? CAN I ASK FOR THE REPAIR COSTS TO BE COVERED BY INFINITI/NISSAN SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE RENDERING MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IF LEFT UN-REPAIRED. I HAVE TRIED TO DO A SOFT RESET OF THE SYSTEM AS DESCRIBED IN A NUMBER OF INFINITI/NISSAN FORUMS AND WHILE THIS INITIALLY HELPED ABOUT 12 TO 18 MONTHS AGO, THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AS FLASHING LIGHT HAS RETURNED AND THE SOFT RESET NO LONGER WORKS.
