AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING, DEALERSHIP INDICATED "A VERY COMMON PROBLEM" FOR THIS YEAR AND MAKE INFINIITI . WELL A COMMON PROBLEM TO ME SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT IT WOULD OVER $1000 DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH TAKATA INFLATORS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON MILLIONS OF CARS BUT JUST SKIPPED THIS YEAR AND MAKE? I WAS TOLD AIRBAG WILL STILL DEPLOY, WELL I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT, AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY! THIS IS A REAL CONCERN, THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND RECALL IMPLEMENTED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AS A RESULT!
WHILE DRIVING HOME COULD HEAR A CLICKING NOISE IN THE WIRING CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND EVENTUALLY DIED IN THE ROAD, JUMP STARTED IT TO GET TO A SHOP WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR, BOUGHT NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE CAR SHORTED OUT AGAIN LOST POWER AND ONCE AGAIN DIED ON THE ROAD, JUMP STARTED CAR TO GET HOME. CAR WILL NOT HOLD POWER KEEPS SHORTING OUT IN THE WIRES, ALTERNATOR IS STILL GOOD AS WELL AS BATTERY. YOU CAN HEAR THE WIRING WHEN IT SHORTS OUT AS IT CLICKS. WHEN I JUMP START THE CAR IT WILL ONLY STAY CHARGED FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE DYING OUT AGAIN. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW AS IT WILL NOT STAY CHARGED, SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS DRAINING THE BATTE

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT/INCIDENT INVOLVED - I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE ASKED A FEW MECHANICS ABOUT IT, BUT THEY ALL SAID THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IF IT IS TRULY DEFECTIVE IS TO HAVE IT DEPLOY, AND THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING UNLESS I ACTUALLY HIT SOMETHING. IT HAD 81K MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2001, AND NOW HAS ABOUT 153K. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IF I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT IS SAFE. WE DID HAVE ONE VERY MINOR COLLISION ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO, (ANOTHER DRIVER HIT US DRIVING VERY SLOWLY) AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR QUARTER PANEL WAS DENTED, BUT IT
