What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. While driving 20 MPH and approximately 200 feet from the driveway, the driver and passenger side air bags deployed without warning. The vehicle crashed into a utility pole. The contact sustained head and upper body injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle restarted and was towed to an independent facility. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.
The air bag warning light came on. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the driver's side air bag control module had failed and it would be $900 to replace it. My husband's volkswagen gli was recalled for the exact same problem, and was fixed for free. Why not the infinity? Was told none of the air bags would work without replacing the driver's side module. Still driving without air bags...
