The passenger airbag restraint system has failed. Specifically, the passenger seat airbag sensor has failed, meaning there is no current airbag functionality for the passenger in my 2010 Infiniti QX56. There was a voluntary safety recall for (R1606) for Infiniti QX56's with years 2014-2016 for the same fault. Obviously, this is a tremendous life and safety risk and should be resolved by the manufacturer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Infiniti qx56. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, another vehicle crashed into the contact's vehicle and the air bags deployed. As a result, the contact sustained cuts by glass fragments from the air bag. A police report was filed and the contact required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.
The air bag indicator illuminated on the dashboard control panel. Upon inspection at an infinity dealership I was told the cable for the air bag needed to be replaced. The cost would be about $600. The vehicle only has approximately 54,000 miles and I do not think there should be a malfunction of the air bag. I was told the air bag may or may not deploy if in a wreck. *tr

After I pass the pay booth, with in 15 feet at the speed of 4 to 5 miles per hour, I lost control of the steering wheel because of some malfunction of the steering wheel assembly. Steering wheel moved 180 degree in one second and hit the pay-booth. Car hit the side pavements of the pay-booth and caused the flat tire, damage the body of the car and steering wheel got locked. All the power-steering fluid got leaked out. I had a fractured thumb because of the rapid movement of the steering wheel. Car was not drivable and ended up towing to the dealership. Dealer replaced the whole steering wheel assembly. This can be a major safety issue. I was just about to go on a highway. If this would have

I was driving straight down water st, upper marlboro, md on my way to work and the rear overhead console (console assy-roof) just fell on my shoulder and back seats. I've attached images showing the unit breaking apart from the screws and after research I see that this has been an ongoing issue with Infiniti and Nissan vehicles alike.
The rear overhead console fell while driving. Apparently it was due to the heat on the roof that melted the 6 clips inside that holds it to the ceiling, I'm confident this has to be a manufacturer defect and needs be corrected before someone dies. If my two small children were in the vehicle it could have easily killed one if not both. Flimsy plastic brackets that can easily melt, should not be used in a vehicle like this. Currently, the only thing holding it up is the main power cable. This should be a recall since there are thousands of infinity and Nissan armada's with the same exact issue. And to think they want $90k for the new qx with cheap crap under the headliner. Really?!?! When I contacted infinity usa, they acted surprised and said they have never heard of such a thing, at leas

Infiniti has no specs on who can safely sit in the center seat of the third row of my SUV. There is plenty of room for a third person to sit in that space -- and there is a center seatbelt standard on this vehicle... However, there is no headrest. I'm hoping you have info on height and weight requirements for who can safely sit in that seat without risk of whiplash or other neck injury in case of sudden stops. Thank you!

I have been the owner of this vehicle since june of 2014 and purchased it with 53k miles. The underbody has substantial rust for the age of the vehicle. This rust has seized the alignment bolts in the rear of the vehicle and it cannot be properly aligned without major repairs(in excess of $1500). A vehicle of this age should not have corrosion to the extent that a rear end alignment is not possible. I have two other vehicles substantially older with less underbody corrosion. I believe the coating/parts used are defective and when I contacted Infiniti they refused to compensate or make the repairs. This is troublesome as the alignment can affect the stability of the vehicle and could result in a accident. *tr
