Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2006 Infiniti G35 owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
My car was involved in a accident where the front end crumpled but the airbags did not deploy. My daughter was the driver and she was traveling down a 6 lane highway at 30 miles an hour when a van coming out of a median crossed in front of her. She ended up "t" boning the van.
I was almost a complete stop when I was rear ended. The impact was pretty hard, and the vehicle was ultimately a total loss. At the time of collision, my drivers side seat collapsed back on me almost to a full recline position. Due to this, my seat belt was completely loose, and felt as if I did not have one on. I slid down, and my ankles were bruised on top, and my baseball cap flew off into the back seat. Also, the airbag did not deploy.
Vehicle accelerated rapidly while coming to a stop in a slot parking space. Operators foot was on the break peddle at the time of the rapid acceleration. Vehicle then crashed into a tree and came to a complete stop. The crash caused extensive front end damage to the hood and front bumper and the energy absorbing system. The air bags did not deploy but the air bag indicator lamp is on.

My car falls under this recall...yet when I take it to the dealership, or look on line on their site. They will not honor the recall- will not fix my car!! What can I do about it? How can I get my car fixed. Below is 1 of 100 articles about it on the internet: Nissan is recalling 134,000 Infiniti G35 vehicles due to a defect in their airbag systems that could cause the safety feature not to deploy in an accident. The recall affects 2005 to 2006 models of the Infiniti G35 sedan and 2005 to 2007 models of the G35 coupe. According to the national highway traffic safety administration: ?the wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor (bts) and the occupant detection sensor (ods) control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and oxidization of the terminals and May cause interruption of the signal.? …
"Takata recall" - when starting and driving the car, the seat belt/air bag light flashes consistently. This has been going on for more than a week. I took it to the Infiniti dealer on 7/2 and had a diagnostic performed at which time I was told it had to do with a previous recall and they were able to reset it. However when I started the car, the flashing light indicator for the seat belt/air bag came on again. I brought it to the dealer's attention and another diagnostic was performed and I was advised that I needed a new airbag and that I would be responsible for the charge. The airbag was never deployed, so I do not understand why I would be responsible for replacing or absorbing the cost. I need to know if this issue is associated to the Takata recall and asked that you investigate and let us know if there is a recall for this vehicle. …
