In feb 2016 when I saw the recall on the news for airbags, I called to see if the infiniti fx35 2008 was recalled. I was told no recall the truck is fine. Now in july 2016 I receive a letter for a passenger airbag recall. Do you know if the driver airbag is being investigated? I'm curious to know, because my mom was killed in an auto accident, while she was driving the truck in dec. 2015. She had injury to her face, neck and more. What makes the passenger airbag inflate?
On 01/24/08 I was driving at normal speed and went to step on the gas pedal of my infinity fx35 2008 when all of sudden the pedal got stuck,or it got stuck btw the mat, and causing the vehicle accelerate, at much faster speed, I had lost total control of my vehicle, it was only matter of seconds that I crashed into few safety poles, sign, & guard rail, I almost lost my life ,thank god I didn't hit any other cars or pedestrian.
Right rear brake caliper seized causing the liquid to spew all over the wheel causing it to smoke and burning smell; the vehicle also rumbled and vibrated while in motion like it had a bad flat tire.. Also, tire sensor on the same wheel had gone bad. The light on the dash flashes when the car started and stays on the whole time. In dash tire pressure gauge shows "**" rather than the actual pressure amount.
