Description of the problem | Takata recall see attached notification received in august of 2016. Note red and underlined areas. Infiniti advised owners to handle this recall in an unacceptable way for two reasons 1. Airbag deployment while driving is likely to cause a wreck which could endanger others unrelated to the recall 2. Metal pieces would not just hit the passenger seat, they would go throughout the vehicle the first of my many calls to infiniti ended with no solution, no plan for loaner cars or replacement and saying they had really been hit by surprise. The second call i got a case number and was told all of my calls were being recorded. I received a call from infiniti that they had an interim fix, to call my service manager and ask for it. But, that when the real replacement part was available, they would have to replace the interim one with it. My service agent told me, he can't do it because it's the same part that's in the car now. It's activity to appear they are doing something. Infiniti confirmed it being the same part. Each person has a different spin, from asking how many miles my car has on it to telling me the interim part won't cause harm if the airbags are deployed in an accident (even just a fender bender) because they put bubble wrap around it. Infiniti is not communicating, not being honest and endangering many lives. Their unethical business practices leave no doubt that they are trying to hide what they are doing from nhtsa too. As the sole guardian of a 9 year old, i pray nothing happens to me when i drive the car to work every day and it's hard to explain why she can't go somewhere because she can't ride in my car anymore. I don't have the money to trash the car and start over but i do have the morals and values that keep me from selling it to someone else. Someone has got to step in and make infiniti do the right thing. |
