The passenger airbag restraint system has failed. Specifically, the passenger seat airbag sensor has failed, meaning there is no current airbag functionality for the passenger in my 2010 Infiniti QX56. There was a voluntary safety recall for (R1606) for Infiniti QX56's with years 2014-2016 for the same fault. Obviously, this is a tremendous life and safety risk and should be resolved by the manufacturer.

Most reports here involve corrosion.

I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE OF 2014 AND PURCHASED IT WITH 53K MILES. THE UNDERBODY HAS SUBSTANTIAL RUST FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS RUST HAS SEIZED THE ALIGNMENT BOLTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND IT CANNOT BE PROPERLY ALIGNED WITHOUT MAJOR REPAIRS(IN EXCESS OF $1500). A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE CORROSION TO THE EXTENT THAT A REAR END ALIGNMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE. I HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES SUBSTANTIALLY OLDER WITH LESS UNDERBODY CORROSION. I BELIEVE THE COATING/PARTS USED ARE DEFECTIVE AND WHEN I CONTACTED INFINITI THEY REFUSED TO COMPENSATE OR MAKE THE REPAIRS. THIS IS TROUBLESOME AS THE ALIGNMENT CAN AFFECT THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN A ACCIDENT. *TR
