I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF THE TAKATA INFLATOR DEFICIENCY IN MAY OF 2016. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN JULY 2016. IN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP IN JULY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. IN SEPTEMBER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE IN MID-NOVEMBER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON TODAY AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER 2016. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE USE MY SEDAN AS INTENDED, WHICH IS RESULTING IN A HARDSHIP FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM INFINITI OF AMERICA IN REFERENCE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THIS WAS AROUND MAY 0F 2016. I CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT TRYING TO GET A LOANER CAR BECAUSE I CARRY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AND IF THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS, THAT I NEEDED A LOANER VEHICLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT I COULD NOT GET A VEHICLE AND THAT I SHOULD BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS, THAT WAS FIVE MONTHS AGO. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY (11/09/2016), AND WAS INFORMED BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR MY CAR WAS UP FOR RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS, AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR A TEMPORARY FIX IN STOCK. I BROUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2006, AND TO BE INFORMED THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE 10 YEARS LATER IS A TRAVESTY. INFINITI SHOULD OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ME A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE AIRBAGS CAN BE FIXED, AND NOT PUT THE CONSUMER IN HARMS WAY.
