Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2001-2003 Maxima, 2002-2006 Sentra, 2002-2004 Pathfinder, 2007-2011 Versa Sedan and Versa Hatchback, 2001-2004 Infiniti I30 and I35, 2002-2003 Inifiniti QX4, 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 and 2006-2010 M35 and M45 vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls.

Remedy. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators with alternate desiccated inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 888-737-9511 or Infiniti customer service at 888-810-3715.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI FX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCH ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CEASED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW ON THE DOOR WHICH CAUSED THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE INFINITI OF MEMPHIS (3060 N GERMANTOWN PKWY, BARTLETT, TN 38133) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

I CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR BECAUSE IT GAVE ME AN ERROR CODE SINCE MY CAR WAS TAKING TOO LONG TO TURN OVER. THAN THE SLIP AND VFC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR WOULD JERK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND IT WOULD JUST STOP COMPLETELY. THAN I CHANGED A COIL AND THE OIL. NOW THE OIL IS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITHIN 2 WEEKS. AND I'M CONSTANTLY PUTTING GAS AND IT'S LIKE THE GAGE DOESN'T WORK. BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S COMPLETELY FULL AND THE GAGE WILL READ HALF TANK. NOW IT'S GIVING ME ANOTHER CODE AND SAYING THERE IS A MISFIRE. IF I TURN THE AC ON THE SHAKING IS WORSE AND IT SMELLS HORRIBLE.

DASHBOARD / PANEL IS MELTING AND BUBBLING

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PROBLEM. WE HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DOOR NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN. THERE WERE TIMES THAT WE HAD OUR 7 MONTHS OLD DAUGHTER ON THAT SIDE AND WE COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR. WE CAN HEAR IT CLICKS BUT NOT OPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF ALL DOORS CAN'T BE OPEN BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY ACTUATORS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI FX35. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS AND SPEEDOMETER INCREASED ALTHOUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT PRESSED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE VDS AND SLIP WARNING SENSORS DISPLAYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000.

OK THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE MELTING DASHBOARD ON MI VEHICLE IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN THE SUN IS IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE OF THE GLARE BUT COSMETICALLY LOOKS DISGUSTING, EVERY TIME SOMEONE GETS IN MY CAR ASKS ME IF MY CAR HAS SOME KIND OF DECEASED OR THEY EVEN MENTION CHICKENPOX AS A JOKE. I CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT THE ISSUE END THEY TOLD ME THAT I JUST MISSED THE RECALL AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WELL THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NOT ONLY ME BUT THOUSANDS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I ASK YOU FOR YOUR HELP TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM COULD BE RESOLVED. I HEARD THAT MAZDA HAS RECALL ALL THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND I THINK THAT EVERY OTHER COMPANY SUCH AS LUXURY INFINITI SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I AM A FAMILY MAN WITH TWO KIDS 12 AND 7 AND I WOULD HATE TO THINK THAT SOMETHING CAN HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS DASHBOARD THAT MAXIMIZES THE GLARE DUE TO ITS CONDITION. I TOOK A FEW PICTURES TO SHOW YOU THE GLARE AND THE DEFECT. ALSO THIS HAPPENED IN NEW YORK WHERE I RESIDE AND EVERY SUMMER IT GETS WORST AND WORST.

THERE IS A RECALL NOT ISTED ON THIS SITE TO DO WITH THE MELTING/BUBBLING DASHBOARD. THERE COULD BE A HEALTH HAZARD WITH THE ADHESIVE AND INFINITI CLOSED THE RECALL AND IT IS NOT FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2005 FX35 SUV MELTED FROM THE RADIATION INTERNALLY. WAS THERE A RECALL THAT I HAD MISSED?

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

CAR WAS IN A SMALL LOW SPEED FRONT END IMPACT. PASSENGER AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT DEPLOYED, ALTHOUGH NO PASSENGERS IN CAR. DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT DID NOT. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG SEAT BELT AND DETONATOR. I NOW HAVE A CAR WITH A DEPLOYED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT. ALSO ACAR THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT. *DSY. *TR

I OPENED THE SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF COMPLETELY FLEW OFF THE CAR AND WENT UP IN THE AIR ABOUT 30-40 FEET. THE BREAK OR SEPARATION OF THE GLASS FROM THE ROOF WAS CLEAN SO THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF MOUNT/BRACKET WHICH STILL OPERATES LIKE IT SHOULD WITHOUT THE GLASS. THIS IS VARY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD KILL SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND ME. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS SHOULD NOT BREAK APART FROM THE MOUNT OF ANY VEHICLE, THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE. I CALLED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI FX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED IN HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE ACTION OR OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. SPECIFICALLY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND ALL OF THE UNDERNEATH COVER. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OR ABOUT 2009, IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED BUT THE UNDERNEATH IS COMPLETE ROTTED. PIECES HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND FALLEN OFF.

THE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED ON MAY 23, 2016 DUE TO THE TAKATA DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. TILL TODAY INFINITI HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CITING NO AVAILABLE PARTS. THEIR ADVICE IS ONLY NOT TO SIT IN THE SEAT WHERE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS PRESENT WHICH IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER I NEED TO WAIT OR IF THEY ARE JUST PLAYING THE WAITING GAME FOR MY CAR TO BE RETIRED BEFORE THEY NEED TO DO WORK ON IT.

I NOTICED THE LOCKS ON BOTH BACK SEAT DOORS, PASSENGER FRONT SEAT AND BACK DOOR WERE NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING USING THE REMOTE. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL DOORS (EXCLUDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR) IS MANUALLY. INTERMITTENTLY, THE REAR GATE DOES NOT UNLOCK. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT MAKE, MODEL AND MODEL YEAR. IS THE DEALER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR SINCE IT'S UNDER 500 MILES AND IT STARTED HAPPENING AFTER PURCHASE, IF NOT BEFORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI FX35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE BUBBLING ON THE DASHBOARD.
