The 2005 Infiniti Q45 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a side airbag wiring connector that can develop high electrical resistance and prevent the side airbags from deploying in a crash.
On the child safety side, vehicles with power rear seats have rear child seat anchor brackets that are not positioned to meet federal requirements, which can make it difficult to properly attach some child seats and leave them unsecured in a crash. There is also a lighting concern: certain brake lights do not meet federal standards for stop lamp output, reducing how visible the vehicle is to drivers behind it.
