I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER INDICATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY FAMILIES LIFE AND SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY. MY VEHICLE IS MY PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND USED FOR TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM WORK AND TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN PATIENT, NOT ALLOWING PASSENGERS IN MY FRONT SEAT FOR MONTHS. IT IS NOW THE END OF FEBRUARY, OVER FIVE MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE LIFE THREATENING DEFECT IN MY CAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! INFINITI HAS DISREGARDED THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BY THE LACK OF ACTION TAKEN IN THIS MATTER. THIS WILL INFLUENCE FUTURE PURCHASING DECISIONS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PURSUING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL 16V-349 AROUND AUGUST 1, 2016. CONTACTED LOCAL INFINITI DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT. COULD EXPECT IT IN 4 TO 6 WEEKS. EXPECTED TIME CAME AND WENT AND WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE ANOTHER MONTH TO 6 WEEKS. ADVISED TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS AIRBAG COULD EXPLODE WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET IN AND OUT OF BACK SEAT DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS.

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.
