ACCORDING TO THE US GOVERNMENT, INFINITI RECALLED 2008 G35 FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH A SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS BLINKING. THE DEALER SAID THE RECALL HAS TO BE VIN SPECIFIC, AND THUS MY CAR WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. ISN'T A RECALL CAUSED BY A COMMON OR GENERIC PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN MOST OF IF NOT ALL CARS OF SAME MODEL AND SAME YEAR? IN THIS CASE 2008 G35? DEALER SAID I SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST AND THEN SEEK REFUND FROM INFINITI. $3500 OUT OF MY POCKET AND TAKE A CHANCE? SO HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING VIC SPECIFIC RECALL? *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT REMAINS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY (NEARLY $4000) TO TEST THE PROBLEM AND THEN TO REPLACE THE SEAT. DEALER NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL, WHICH STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2008. *TR

SOMETHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND ALSO TESTED THE ALTERNATOR. IF MY CAR SITS FOR TWO DAYS I HAVE TO JUMP THE BATTERY TO START MY VEHICLE. I GOOGLE MY PROBLEM AND FOUND OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY IMPLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BOSE RADIO. *TR

CAR WAS JERKING WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT A RADIATOR LEAKED TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND RUINED IT. DEALER FLASHED TRANSMISSION, BUT LATER I HAD "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING. I WENT BACK, DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS BECAUSE OF A BAD TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A CAR IN THIS CONDITION. I STILL HAVE A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE, THEY SAY, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS A SECONDARY ONE, AND THE PRIMARY WAS A RADIATOR. NISSAN TWICE REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
