Description of the problem | Fx35 2007 infiniti air bag light came on without an accident or any incident occurring on 3 november 2011. Vehicle was parked for about and hour with no incident occurring during that time. Vehicle had approximately 73,350 miles when air bag light came on. Took vehicle to inifiniti service location in alexandria, va and was told that code 1054 appeared and the driver side airbag, spiral cable and diagnostic control unit needed to be replaced and that it would cost $2202. 50 to replace the items. He stated it was not a recall on this problem but from what they have seen in the past when it had occurred the only thing to fix the problem would be to replace the items mentioned above. They reset the airbag light as a 1st step but stated that if it came back i would have to replace the items because it is a safety issue. It could prevent the airbag from deploying if needed. The light came back on the same day that i picked up my vehicle, 18 november 2011. I researched and found several complaints online about this problem. It should a recall due to the safety issue and the manufacturer should be liable for this safety concern. |
