In owners' own words
My airbag trouble light appears on my display and I am concerned for my safety as a resukt of faulty airbags and/or connectors. About 2 years ago, the same airbag trouble light was illuninated and the problem was diagnosed as airbag connectors that needed to be replaced. I was told this related to side airbags. The repair xost more than $700. I asked if there were related recalls and was told no by the dealer. Air bags · reported at 96,900 miles
The contact owns a 2005 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated sporadically. The dealer stated that the passenger side air bag harness kit needed to be updated. The driver side air bag was previously repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 10v175000 (air bags, seats). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 107,000. Air bags · reported at 107,000 miles
My airbag light came on and I had it fixed under the recall. A short while after that, it came back on and was told I needed an airbag module. I find it weird that my vehicle and a lot of other Infiniti g35s have this same problem in this order. Also every time I left dealership, a week after, I realized the they had damaged the brackets that hold the plastic cover to the front of the seats. Air bags
