2008 INFINITI FX35. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE AIR BAG DEFECT LIGHTS FLASHING ON VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION DONE. DEALER STATED THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO FLASH AS WELL AS NO MULTI POINT INSPECTION PAPERWORK WAS PRODUCED.
I live 200-400 miles from any Infiniti dealer. Infiniti will not authorize the repair at my local Nissan dealership. The only option was to tow my car 200 miles to a dealer there and then tow it back. Obviously, if there were any issues following the repair...I would have to drive the 400 miles to have it resolved. This is not acceptable to me. Recently, my son needed to borrow my car and he lives close to the Murray Utah dealer so I called them to arrange the repair. They made an appt. for this weekend, denied a replacement vehicle and then said that the visit would only be to inspect and see if my airbag needed to be replaced. If it did, they would need to order the part and have the vehicle brought in when they had the part. They did not have the part in stock and could not tell me a time frame that the part would arrive. I then called the infiniti airbag replacement department from the letters I receive weekly. The representative said she had never heard of this and called the dealer directly. THey continued with this nonsense stating they had to see if I actually needed the repair. Mind you non of the communication in the last 5 years mentions anything that I might possibly have this defective airbag. The representative connected me to Infiniti corporation who stood on this same policy. I had regional manager call back and she repeated that I would have to inspect and then order...mind you that would require me to commuting 8 hours if the part doesn't come within a few weeks when I will have the car back. I asked if they could send me the replacement part and I will pay for the repair (No) Authorize my local Nissan or other dealer to inspect if I have the faulty airbag before towing my car 2 hours to a repair shop (NO) Do they care that my airbag could be triggered at any time and possibly kill someone (No).
MY CAR DASHBOARD HAD RECALL ONLY FOR SHORT TIME AND NOW THE DEFECT IS SHOWING UP BADLY. PULSE CAN YOU CHECK AND MAKE ONE TIME EXCEPTION.
