Pulling into parking stall (brakes applied / traveling 5-10 MPH) the car lurched forward twice and stuck a parked full size truck. The car bounced backwards and lurched forward again and stuck the truck a second time and bounced backwards again. The ( off button) was able to be pushed at that time. The brake was fully applied the entire time. This has been the only occurrence. Infinity has not been able to duplicate problem and has downloaded the data base.

My car is ten years old, from ohio, should my frame be rusted out underneath to the point that my rear left tire component is about to separate from the frame? Every small bump in the road makes a noise like a hammer hitting metal and it has worn out the left rear shock. My mechanic told me it was irreplaceable
The airbag sensor located in base of passenger seat is faulty rendering the airbag not functional. The sensor is not available for replacement and the bottom seat unit must be replaced at the cost of $7,000. After researching the issue, it appears to be widespread to the model and year. The airbag light blinks on the dashboard indicating an issue. The issue was confirmed at he infiniti dealer and also an independent mechanic.
