Made takata airbag recall appointment with Dealer on August 27, 2021. Then dropped car off dealer at 2pm, September 1, 2021. Today it is September 16, 2021--the job is supposed to take 2 hours. The dealer still has my car. So I am at 2 weeks and 1 day. The service manager is not returning calls. No loaner car given. That does not seem reasonable. No wonder why there are so many airbag recall not fixed Two weeks and a Day to fix a 2 hour issue. Please Help. Time limits are needed once repair is scheduled.

TAKATA RECALL,I JUST PURCHASED IT,WAS PRE OWNED.

TAKATA RECALL. INFINITI IS NOT WORKING WITH US IN GETTING THE RECALL WORK DONE. I LIVE OVER 400 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND INFINITI IS HAVING US PAY TO EITHER, GET A RENTAL CAR OR PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM. OF WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD EITHER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT UNTIL THE RECALL IS DONE.

AUTO HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. NEAREST DEALER IS 130 MILES AWAY. INFINITI REFUSES TO MAKE JUST COMPENSATION FOR TRAVEL TO REPAIR

TAKATA RECALL. TO DATE, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE FROM INFINITI ANY CONTACT REGARDING REPAIR FOR MY VEHICLE. INITIAL NOTIFICATION WAS THE LATTER PART OF 2016 OR EARLY 2017.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO INCIDENT OCCURRED. WE WERE WITHOUT OUR VEHICLE FOR THE DAY IT WAS BEING REPAIRED.

THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN 2 COLLISIONS. FORTUNATELY I HAD A SECURED SEAT BELT FASTENED.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016. NOW 8 MONTHS LATER, WE HAVE NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM INFINITI WHEN THIS WILL BE REPAIRED AND THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW, EITHER. INFINITI'S SOLUTION IS TO DO AN INTERIM REPAIR THAT DISABLES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG- NOT REALLY "A FIX". CAN WE GET AN UPDATE FROM INFINITI WHEN THEY EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL.... I WAS NOTIFIED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND I SHOULD NOT ALLOW THE SEAT BE OCCUPIED. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALL INFINITY REQUESTING MY VEHICLE BE REPAIRED. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2017. I FEEL INFINITY'S POOR HANDLING OF THIS RECALL HAS CREATED AN UNDO BURDEN ON THE RECALL VEHICLE OWNERS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE POOR EXECUTION OF THIS RECALL. INFINITY OFFERED A RENTAL THRU THE LOCAL DEALER BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND LEFT A MESSAGE IT WAS NOT RETURNED, I BELIEVE THE DEALERS DO NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE RENTAL PROGRAM, BECAUSE MY ORIGINAL DEALER DOES NOT OFFER ANY TEMPORARY FIXES INFINITY SPEAKS OF.

TAKATA RECALL - 16V-349. RCVD RECALL NOTICE APPROX. EARLY AUGUST 2016 (LETTER NOT DATED WHICH IS STRANGE). I CALLED DEALER WHO SAID TO CALL CONS AFFAIRS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MADE OF ANYTHING RELATED TO PARTS. 6 WEEKS HAS NOW PASSED AND CONS AFFAIRS TOLD ME IT MAY BE ANOTHER 6 WEEKS OR LONGER. THEIR ADVICE TO ME IS TO SIMPLY NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. FOR A FEW WEEKS, I CAN ACCOMMODATE THIS BUT LONG TERM THIS IS NOT AN OPTION. I NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE ... TO THIS DAY I STILL DO NOT KNOW A TIMELINE FOR WHEN MY CAR WILL GET FIXED AND EVERYDAY THAT GOES BY WHERE I CAN'T HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER COSTS ME MONEY.

INFINITI CLAIMS THAT THEY DON'T WANT ME TO HAVE A PASSENGER RIDE WITH ME UNTIL THE PARTS ARE RECEIVED TO FIX IT THIS FALL, BUT THAT IS NOT AN OPTION. I FEEL THEY SHOULD PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL, MY WIFE CALLED THE NUMBER AND TALKED TO SOMEONE AT INFINITI. BUT OUR CAR SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC,,,BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE NARROWLY ESCAPED THREE/FOUR DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. AND AS WE WERE SEARCHING FOR THE PROBLEM, WE NOTICED A RECALL FOR THAT ALSO. SHE ASKED ABOUT A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL CAN BE FIXED. BUT TO NO AVAIL. IM NOT SURE OF WHAT TO DO, ITS A VERY BAD SITUATION WHEN YOUR CAR JUST SHUTS OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND YOU BEGAN A SLOW COAST IN MOVING TRAFFIC. AND I FEEL WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MISS WORK, KIDS MISS PRACTICE, AND JUST SIT HOME UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. WE HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE , AND TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS ONE,,, THE RECALL SAYS " DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT"......AND IT ALSO SHIFTS DOWN,, IM NOT SURE HOW THE INFINITI LOANER PROGRAM WORKS, BIT I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS SITE BECAUSE IT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WE RECEIVED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE PURCHASED AROUND 2009 IN FLORIDA. AIRBAG SAFETY INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING SOMETIME AROUND EARLY 2015.

CONTACTED MANUFACTURER FOR COVERAGE UNDER RECALL, NISSAN / INFINITI REFUSED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG UNDER RECALL, DESPITE POSSIBILITY THAT, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH INVOLVING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG, INFLATOR IS LIKELY TO RUPTURE WITH PEICES OF METAL PROJECTED INTO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WOULD LIKE THE MANUFACTURER TO COVER THIS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY VEHICLE UNDER RECALL # 15V226000, RECALL # 14V701000 OR ANY OTHER RELATED RECALLS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MARCH 1, 2015 DATE OF OCCURRENCE IS APPROXIMATE.

I AM TRYING TO GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED USING THE RECALLED TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND I HAVE BEEN GIVEN CONFLICTING INFORMATION. WHEN I ENTER THE VIN OF MY VEHICLE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT DOES NOT RETURN A "HIT" FOR A RECALL. HOWEVER; ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I WAS ADVISED BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY APPLICABLE TO VEHICLES IN HIGH HUMIDITY AREAS AND THEY LISTED THE AFFECTED STATES AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. MARYLAND WAS NOT ON THAT LIST. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL GEOGRAPHIC AREAS BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN A DEFINITIVE ANSWER IF MY VEHICLE IS NOW PART OF THE RECALL. NISSAN CLAIMS IT CANNOT DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED USING TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEMS YET IT SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED. GIVEN THE HIGH DEGREE OF RISK OF DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS I MUST HAVE AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT IF TAKATA AIRBAGS/INFLATORS ARE IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED NISSAN IF THEY CAN INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO MAKE THIS DETERMINATION BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED UNLESS AND UNTIL I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS POSITION IS THAT AN AIRBAG DEFECT COULD BE FATAL. I AM COUNTING ON YOUR AGENCY TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2006 INFINITI M35 FROM APPROVAL ONE, LAPLACE, LA ON 3/16/2012 . I WAS NOT SHOWN A CARFAX REPORT. IT WAS FINANCED BY ASI FEDERAL CREDIT UNION FOR $16,000. THE CAR WOULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE CAR SENSOR AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN PER LETTER. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM AND NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS AND I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO RAY BRANT INFINITI AND WAS TOLD A PART ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE PROBLEM. THAT WOULD COST ME $2,300.00. I DECIDED TO TRADE IN THE CAR ON 8/2/2014 AND WAS GIVEN A CARFAX REPORT SHOWING STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, AIRBAG DEPLOYED, AND THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL DEALERS THAT NO ONE WOULD TAKE THE CAR RELATING TO THE DAMAGE. I REPORTED TO ASI FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. AS A RESULT, I HAVE A CAR NOT FITTED TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY IN AND AM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $16,000.00 THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 09, 2011 WE WERE INVOLVED IN A FOUR VEHICLE CRASH.

MY VEHICLE WAS A DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE DEPLOYED WITH THE IMPACTS. DUE TO AIRBAG FAILURE MY HUSBAND AND I RECEIVED SEVERE INJURIES. *TR
