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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI FX45. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING. THE DEALER (RED NOLAND INFINITI, 425 MOTOR WORLD PKWY, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80905, (719)-444-8881) WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET A DASHBOARD COVER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,400.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I FELT A JERK FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR THEN BEGAN TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISHLY AND STRUGGLED TO PICK UP SPEED. I MADE IT HOME A FEW BLOCKS AWAY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CODES I RECEIVED WERE P1754, P1757, AND P1759. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 5 SPEED ONLY. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR HAD ANY PROBLEMS WIH MY VEHICLE UNTIL NOW. I THINK IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO THE AWD AS WELL.

AIR BAG RECALL RECEIVED ON RE ABOUT JULY 2016. AS OF TODAY , SEPTEMBER 22, 2016, THE REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY CARS DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE DUE TO BUBBLES AND MELTING LIKE GUM BEFORE MY EYES AND I DO USE A SUNSCREEN NOW IT'S LIKE A NIGHTMARE STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ARE YOUR COMPANY GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS.

TAKATA RECALL. I OWN 2005 INFINITY FX45. THEY RECENTLY HAD A MASS RECALL, BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES, "HIGH HUMIDITY " STATES. LET'S RECAP. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS LIVED IN MICHIGAN. MY DASHBOARD IS HIGHLY DAMAGED BY THE BAD ADHESIVE USED IN SEVERAL MODELS COVERING SEVERAL YEAR'S OF INFINITY /NISSAN VEHICLES. WHICH THE COMPANY CLAIMED AGAIN, ONLY OCCURRED IN HIGH HUMIDITY STATES. MISSOURI, FLORIDA AND TEXAS HAVE CLASS ACTION SUITS IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARDS THAT SURPASS THE 8 YEAR MARK THE ONLY COVERED. REFUSED TO CALL IT A "RECALL ". THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WERE AND ARE STILL LEFT UNNOTIFIED OF THE REPLACEMENT, LETTERS NEVER SENT OUT. IF MY DASH LOOKS THIS BAD, AND EMITS THESE TOXIC FUMES IN THE HEAT THAT BURN MY EYES, HOW CAN THIS COMPANY NOT BE FORCED TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS? I'D SAY THEY ARE INTERTWINED. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED AS OWNERS OF THIS HIGH DOLLAR VEHICLES AND THE COMPANY ISN'T MADE ACCOUNTABLE BY YOU, THE GOVERNING BOARD OF VEHICLE SAFETY FOR THE PEOPLE. I'M IN POLITICS, I DON'T WANT TO GET CANCER FROM TOXIC FUMES, OR MY FAMILY OR CHOICE OF DYING FROM METAL IN AIRBAGS. BOTH SERVED AS PROTECTION. GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN BRIGHT SUN, THESE BUBBLES AS I CALL THEM REFLECT SUN OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSE BLINDNESS. I SEE THIS CONNECTING SOON WITH AN ACCIDENT, BUT MICHIGAN ISN'T IN THE RECALL?? I'LL MAKE SURE TO LEAVE NOTE EARLY WITH DIRECTIONS, IF THERE'S ANY SURVIVORS. I'M SORRY, I'M FRUSTRATED WITH INFINITY FOR BEING ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS [XXX]. I THOUGHT YOU F

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI FX45. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK BOTH OF THE REAR INTERIOR POWER DOORS AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BUT THE DOORS WOULD ONLY UNLOCK MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ALL 4 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. CANNOT ENTER OR EXIST VEHICLE WITHOUT MANUALLY UNLOCKING DOORS. ONLY DRIVERS DOOR HAS KEY ENTRY, LEAVING 3 UNSAFE DOORS WITH NO WAY OF ENTRY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY. WHEN FULL ONLY SHOWS 3/4 AND WHEN EMPTY WITH LITE ON CAN ONLY PUT 13 GALS IN BEFORE SPILLAGE. THE GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY MOVING. *TR

CAR: 2005 INFINITI FX45 FAILURE: AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT BLINKING OCCURS: CONSTANTLY, UNTIL CLEARED IN THE COMPUTER. ONCE IT'S CLEARED IT IS VARIABLE AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE IT STARTS BLINKING AGAIN, USUALLY 1 - 7 DAYS. DONE TO CORRECT PROBLEM: TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. FIRST DIAGNOSED AS A "FRONT CRUSH ZONE SENSOR". THAT WAS REPLACED AND PAID FOR BY ME, BUT DIDN'T FIX IT. NEXT DIAGNOSED AS AN AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC MODULE. INFINITI REPLACED THAT UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. NEXT DIAGNOSTIC WAS EITHER THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT WIRING HARNESS OR THE CABIN AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS. EACH JOB IS APPROXIMATELY $2200.00, INFINITI REFUSED TO PERFORM THE WORK UNDER WARRANTY, AND I REFUSED TO PAY FOR ONE WITHOUT KNOWING WHETHER IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. INFINITI HAS DISREGARDED THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND WASHED THEIR HANDS OF ME, TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP THE CAR, THEY ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO WORK ON IT. I ASKED THE INFINITI SERVICE TECHNICIAN IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD WORK CORRECTLY IF THE LIGHT IS BLINKING AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT. *TR

EXCESSIVE HEAT IN THE DRIVER FOOT WELL. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS 105 DEGREES IN THE FOOT WELL AFTER ONLY 45 MINUTES OF DRIVE TIME, BUT INDICATES IT IS THE PROXIMITY OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT IS CREATING THE HEAT - AND THEREFORE NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX. ACTUAL TEMPERATURE AFTER ONE PLUS HOUR OF DRIVE TIME IS UNBEARABLE, AND CAN ONLY BE SLIGHTLY LESSENED WITH USE OF AC (WHICH ALSO SEEMS FAULTY) ON HIGH. THEREFORE, DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES AT A TIME IS A MISERABLE EXPERIENCE - BUT ONE THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTS IS THE SAME AS ALL OTHER FX45'S. *JB
