1994 Infiniti J30 Complaints

GOODYEAR MODEL GT-1 ON 1994 INFINITY RIGHT REAR TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM TIRE IN ONE PIECE. *TR

I WAS THE PASSENGER SO I DON'T HAVE THE VIN NUMBER. WE WERE IN A MINOR COLLISION, AND THE AIR BAGS WERE ACTIVATED. MY AIR BAG FELT LIKE IT LITERALLY PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE. I GOT TREATED AT THE SCENE WHERE AN EMT POURED ABOUT TWO BOTTLES OF SALINE SOLUTION IN MY RIGHT EYE BECAUSE IT WAS STINGING SEVERELY AND I COULDN'T KEEP IT OPEN. I HAD EXTREMELY BLURRY VISION IN MY RIGHT EYE AND COULDN'T EVEN MAKE OUT LARGE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS CLOSE UP. THE AREA AROUND MY EYE WAS BRUISED AND MY OPTOMETRIST SAID THAT I HAD BRUISED THE FOCUSING MUSCLES IN MY EYE AND TO RETURN IMMEDIATELY IF I HAD FURTHER PROBLEMS THAT COULD INDICATE A TORN RETINA. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE EARLY ALTIMA AIR BAGS (94-95'S) AND THE OWNER OF THE INFINITI INFORMED ME THAT THE SAME AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS USED IN HIS CAR, A 1994 INFINITI.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG UNEXPECTEDLY DEPLOYED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL AND SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SUSTAINED SCRAPES AND BRUISES ON MY LEFT FOREARM. OTHER PASSENGERS (1 ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A CHILD IN A CHILD SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT WERE UNINJURED). SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAD PERMANENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AT WHICH TIME THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM AND THAT, IF NOT FIXED, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY EVEN IN AN ACCIDENT. DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR, IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AT THE TIME. *AK

WHEN HIT AT 65MPH IN THE FRONT CENTER OF THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING MINOR INJURIES TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

AIR BAG DEPLOYED ON MODERATE IMPACT COLLISION. RIGHT EYE SERIOUSLY INJURED BY AIR BAG. SURGERY WAS REQUIRED FOR INJURY TO RIGHT EYE. INJURY CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO NERVES IN THE EYE. DOCTOR SAID I CAN NO LONGER HAVE CORRECTIVE EYE SURGERY IN THE FUTURE AND I WILL DEVELOP CATARACT BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT EYE. DT
