The 2004 Infiniti Q45 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the seat-mounted side airbags, which may fail to deploy in a crash due to a wiring connector that develops high electrical resistance.
There is also a brake light concern: the brake lamp switch can malfunction and leave the brake lights dark when the pedal is pressed, meaning drivers behind the car get no warning of a stop. A third recall addresses the stop lamps and reflectors not meeting lighting compliance standards, which similarly reduces rear visibility to other drivers.
