Description of the problem | I have not experienced any problems with the airbag and my vin has not been specifically identified for the takata recall. That though is the issue. In view of the inifinti recall of similar model cars in high humidity states, and nhtsa's call for a full recall of the takata airbags, as well as toyota, gm & honda's recent expansion of the recall, i do not understand why infiniti has not taken similar additional action. I live in virginia - an area of high humidity for at least 3 months per year. A recent death occurred to a virginia resident related to the airbags. I drive to florida several times a year spending as many as 4-6 weeks there annually. It seems quite reckless for the company not to be acting on this recall. As it stands i have been reluctant to drive the vehicle for my safety and that of my passengers, especially since toyota is advising consumers to have the airbag disabled and post warning not to sit in the passenger side. While i could do a similar thing until infiniti wakes up and acts, i cannot see why i should have to absorb the cost for it. Please help if you can. I appreciate the opportunity to vent regarding this issue. Updated 07-16-15 *bf |
