Description of the problem | Takata recall--------my brother who lived in new york city gave me his 2003 infiniti i 35 when he retired from ny pd and gave me the infiniti. So i drove the car to calabash north carolina which is 10 minute drive to myrtle beach south carolina. For about 6 months or so no problems with the airbag however in the middle of the summer my airbag light comes on? So i called my brother and he told me the car already had the airbag replace per the recall. So i called infiniti to see if they could help me, they informed me that there was nothing they could do but they said i could go to a nissan or infiniti service. I go and the service manager told me it was $125 for diagnostic test. Called infiniti back and again i was informed that there was nothing that they could do. I have been driving for over 40 years and owned lots of cars never once did i ever have a problem with an airbag! I have owned foreign and domestic cars and again no airbag problems. What are the mathematical probability of my defective airbag system from only a infiniti i35 2003 being the only airbag problem with any automobile that i have owned in the last 40 + years? The math does not work they have a problem but they don't want to address it. It's the manufacturers fault not mine, what do they want me to do replace the airbag again? My gut feeling tells me that they didn't remedy the problem or the heat from living in the carolinas is adversely affecting my airbag. Please if you would save my email just in case i get hurt or killed because of there substandard airbag system that infiniti stated that they had no knowledge of a pre-existing substandard airbag placed in 2003 i35. Thank you for your time |
