2012 Infiniti M37 Complaints

When the steering wheel is adjusted up, down or the telescopic adjustment is used a loud pop is heard, the casing comes apart and it is no longer possible to turn the wheel left or right.

WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS ADJUSTED TO A NORMAL SETTING THE CASING POPS AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON IN MY 2012 INFINITI M-37 UPON STARTING IT THE MORNING OF 10/09/2020. I BROUGHT IT INTO MY LOCAL TAMPA INFINITI DEALERSHIP ON 10/21/2020 WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE HAD OVER 90% OF THE SERVICING COMPLETED. MY SERVICE ADVISOR MICHAEL ENGLISH EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $7104 TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IN ADDITION A DIAGNOSTIC SENSOR WOULD LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $450. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ONE THAT OCCURS IN A NUMBER OF INFINITI AUTOMOBILES OF THIS TYPE. HE WAS SORRY THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY AND THAT IT DIDN'T SEEM FAIR THAT A RECALL WASN'T AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE SAFETY PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS ONLY 120,000 MILES ON IT AND RUNS VERY WELL AND IS WORTH ABOUT $8000 AS A TRADE IN BUT NOT WITH A FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT COST NEARLY AS MUCH THE CAR IS WORTH. HOW COULD INFINITI MAKE OR DESIGN A SEAT WITH AIR BAG SENSOR...

I NOTICE WHEN I BROUGHT THIS CAR AT 47,000 MILES USED THE CAR WAS LACK OF POWER AND HESITATED TO GO WHEN TRYING TO PASS OTHER CAR ..I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOFTWARE PROBLEMS BUT IT HAPPENED THE 2ND TIME , BUT THIS TIME ALMOST COST THE ACCIDENT,WHEN I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE HESITATED FOR ABOUT 6TO9SECOND DELAY BEFOR IT TAKE OFF WAS CLOSE OF OTHER CAR HITTING ME

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR HAS FAILED AND THE DEALER HAS QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $7019 TO REPAIR IT, SAYING THE SEAT HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST IS EXORBITANT, AND APPROACHES TO HE TOTAL VALUE OF THE CAR. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE PART AND THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BARE.
