| Air bag light keeps coming on 2005 infiniti g35 sedan. i have taken it multiple times to riverside infiniti (riverside, ca) for the same occurance. their claim is they had to reset the codes for which i was charged for. once i drove it off their lot, the air bag light once again came back on. i had to exit the freeway to call them back. they told me to bring it back. i turned back around and proceeded back to the infiniti dealer. on my way back to them, i hit a big piece of wood in the middle of the freeway and damaged the entire right rear of my car. once i got there , they examined the vehicle and this time they told me the air bag needed to be replaced along with the spiral cable for which i was going to be charged well over $1,300. i refused to pay that amount and i told them that its a safety issue for which they should have covered without any charge. my air bag light has been coming on for the past few years and i have also taken it to stadium nissan of orange (orange, ca) where they have reset the codes and still the light has come on. everywhere i turn to, everyone wants to take every little dime from my pocket at my lifes expense for not correcting the problem the first time around. now i hear about the 2005 g35 sedan models aig bag light becoming a problem. | |||
