I AM LOCATED IN RUSSIA, AND THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER DOES NOT PERFORM RECALL COMPANIES ON MY CAR.

I WAS BACKING DOWN MY DRIVE WAY (ABOUT 200 FT.) AND I HEARD A POPING SOUND. THEN AS I STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IS WAS LOUDER, SOUND CAME FROM THE ROOF SO I OPENED THE CURTAIN IN FRONT OF THE MOON ROOF AND IT WAS ALL SHATTERED. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND THE TEMP THAT DAY WAS IN THE LOW 40 DEGREES.

ALL THE LIGHTS ARE SWEATING, POOR VISIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 INFINITI FX45. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE DRIVESHAFT ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE SHAFT BOLT SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVESHAFT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A MINOR GRAZING IMPACT ON BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOORS (IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION), WHICH DEPLOYED THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAGS AND ALSO THE AIRBAG INSIDE THE FRONT PASSENGER LEATHER SEAT. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE WINDOW GLASS DIDN'T BREAK, THE DOORS OPENED AND CLOSED NORMALLY. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, THE ENGINE DIED IMMEDIATELY, AS IF FROM AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND THE DRIVER (ME) HAD NO BRAKING. THE CAR VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND COASTED TO A STOP IN A YARD AT THE FAR END OF THE INTERSECTION. AFTERWARDS, THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY AND WAS DRIVABLE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR PEDESTRIANS, SO NOBODY WAS INJURED. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT INFINITI, AND THE REPRESENTATIVE CHECKED WITH THEIR TECHNICAL PEOPLE WHETHER THE AIRBAGS ARE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO KILL THE ENGINE ON DEPLOYMENT, OR WHETHER THIS INDICATED A SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE REPORTED BACK THAT INFINITI TECH SUPPORT COULDN'T SAY, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WHICH STRUCK ME AS AN EVASIVE RESPONSE. THE INFINITI CASE NUMBER IS [XXX].
