Quick News About Infiniti Problems

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says there are over 3 million vehicles with airbag inflators that explode, sending metal shrapnel into the cabin during an airbag deployment.

While Honda is recalling the most, Nissan (and Infiniti) have recalled over 480,000 vehicles worldwide. That includes the 2001-2003 Infiniti i35 and QX4.

"Takata said the propellant wafers produced at a plant in Moses Lake, Washington, between April 13, 2000 and September 11, 2002, may have been produced with an inadequate compaction force. The propellant could deteriorate over time and cause too much combustion, which could cause the body of the inflator to rupture during air bag deployment."

Vehicles in more humid areas are particularly susceptible to the exploding inflators.

It's been a rough few months for the JX35.

It's been investigated for sudden stops, then it was recalled for a bad gas gauge, and now the 2013 model year's faulty passenger airbag sensor is getting recalled too. Nissan says sensors within the passenger occupant detection system may have been manufactured out of specification which could cause the air bag to be suppressed permanently.

The recall also includes Nissan vehicles and is expected to begin in April 2013.

The JX35 might spark a few front-seat arguments when it runs out of gas, even though the gas gauge says there's plenty left.

Nissan (parent company of Infiniti) says certain 2013 models have fuel transfer tubes that were incorrectly routed. The end result? The fuel level float might not sink as fuel is used up, leading to the incorrect reading. The affected vehicles were manufactured from February 15, 2012, through June 22, 2012.

The recall will fix the issue by re-routing the tube and installing an o-ring, no guarantees it will fix your relationship though.
