Filed Mar 4, 202126,158 vehiclesNissan North America, Inc.

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (INFINITI) is recalling certain 2003 INFINITI FX35, 2006-2008 FX35 and FX45 vehicles that previously received a replacement front passenger air bag assembly under recall number 20V-008. The air bag cushion was folded incorrectly, which could increase internal pressure and tear the air bag cushion during deployment.

Risk. A tear in the air bag may decrease air bag performance, and increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. INFINITI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module, free of charge. The recall began on April 19, 2021. Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200. INFINITI's number for this recall is R20C2.

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. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

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.

Remedy. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began on June 8, 2017. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Firstly, WHY, would a vehicles doors need to be opened while going down the road? WHY, should I have to apply the child lock to the door to ensure that my passengers do not open them? Does the passenger door have a child lock? shouldn't the doors stay locked while the vehicle is operating? please offer me some type of explanation as to why the doors have to have the ability to be unlocked and opened by any passenger

I recently bought a 2007 Infiniti FX35 and the dashboard is completely melted away. It's sticky and there are cracks from the driver side to the passenger side. This is dangerous as it can cause the airbag to deploy! The previous owner has a dashboard cover on it which I can't remove and take pictures of because it's STUCK by the melting material

Seats
Filed May 24, 2021OK

Driver Seat detached from floor causing great risk to operator, passengers and other vehicles or pedestrians. Seat frame broke previously and was reported to Jackie Cooper Infiniti. They requested I report it to corporate Infiniti which I did but any relief was denied. The broken frame was a cause for concern but last evening the seat became loose to the point where the rear can be lifted now from the floor.

THE ENTIRE DASH OF MY VEHICLE IS COVERED WITH BUBBLES BECAUSE OF AN INFERIOR PRODUCT IN PRODUCTION. THESE BECOME WORSE EVERY SUMMER BECAUSE OF THE HEAT AND THE DASH BECOMES A GOOEY MESS. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR DEPLOY CORRECTLY WHEN THIS MESS IS ALL OVER IT? I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF ANY RECALL, BUT WHEN CONTACTING THE COMPANY WAS TOLD IT WAS PAST DEADLINE AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I WANT TO BE SURE THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS NEEDED, THAT IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND IT WAS GARAGE KEPT WITH ONE PREVIOUS OWNER SO I'M TOLD. SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE A COVERING FOR THE VEHICLE. FOR THE FOUR YEARS I HAVE HAD THE DASH FEEL LIKE IT'S MELTING. IT'S STUCK TO ANYTHING I'VE PUT OR LAID ON IT AND CAUSES CRACKS AND RUN LINES WHERE THE CRACKING HAS TAKEN PLACE. DURING COLD MONTHS IT SHRINKS AND DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS EXPANS AND STARTED FEELING STICKY AND MELTING. HAS MADE SOME BUTTONS STICK THAT ARE CLOSE THE THE DASH BEFORE SO HAVING AN INCONVENIENT OF BEING STUCK ON SHUFFLE FOR MUSIC IS A THING THRU THE SUMMER. OVER TIME IS GETTING WORSE AND I CAN'T USE ANYTHING TO CLEAN THE STICKY STUFF BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO MAKE IT WORSE. WILL SEND IMAGES WHEN SOMEONE CONTACTS ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM THRU EMAIL. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS. WE GO TO THE NILLY DEALERSHIP IN ATLANTA GA. THEY ARE REALLY GREAT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55MPH AND STARTED TO BRAKE TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE ENGINE DIED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN TWO DAYS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE SLIP AND VDC LIGHT CAME ON. THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THEY RECALLED SOME CARS FOR IT. IT'S EITHER THE CAMSHAFT OR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. IM JUST GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SHOULD BE A FIX OR RECALL ON ALL CARS AFFECTED BY THIS.

VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT 55-60MPH, IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND ROUGH ENGINE SHAKE ON THE HIGHWAY. MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE. OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BOTH SMOKING AND GLOWING RED FROM EXCESS FUEL BEING DUMPED INTO THEM DUE TO A VERY COMMON AND WELL KNOWN BAD GROUNDING ISSUE. WORRIED THEY WOULD CAUSE A FIRE I EVACUATED MY FAMILY AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. AFTER HAVING THE CAR EXAMINED THE FX35 HAS DESTROYED ALL 6 IGNITION COILS WHICH WAS CAUSING GAS TO BE DUMPED INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. IT ALSO DESTROYED BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND POSSIBLY THE COMPUTER, THE CAR IS STILL BEING LOOKED AT. HAD WE NOT STOPPED I FEAR THE CAR WOULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE FROM THE EXCESS FUEL AND BURNING/MELTING OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. NOT TO MENTION IS WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR LOSE ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM AND VERY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE AN ISSUE KNOWN LIKE THIS NOT BE FIXED BY A SIMPLE GROUNDING WIRE ISSUE.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
