The following is a list of any known keyfobs for the Infiniti Qx30 2017 as well as their FCC IDs if available

• RSK-INF-5DD3A: 2017-2018 Infiniti QX30 / 3-Button Smart Key / PN: 285E3-5DD3A / IYZDC12K (OEM)
  FCC ID: IYZDC12K

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

This vehicle is an absolute hazard. The brakes and power steering will fail while driving, and the vehicle will be slow to accelerate while this happens. I have personally had two near accidents when this occurs. I have researched and found that i am far from the only person with this issue and infiniti doesn't seem to care. I have taken it in three times already with no solution offered. I have attached a few of the other complaints i found online.

While driving down the road at highway speed, the vehicle switched itself into park. It lost all power and forced me to come to a complete stop.

Tl* the contact leased a 2017 infiniti qx30. The contact stated that he noticed condensation inside in the front passenger's side headlamp. The contact also stated that the headlamp assembly warning message appeared on the instrument panel at vehicle start-up. Upon research, the contact discovered that a replacement headlamp was approximately $1,800.00. The contact declined to replace the headlamp. Once the lease agreement expired, the contact returned the vehicle to ramsey infiniti (535 nj-17 s, ramsey, nj 07446). A few months later, the contact received an invoice from the dealer for the cost of repair for the headlamp. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

While parking,the car rapidly accelerated with only light pressure on the gas pedal. The car was pulling forward into a parking spot and ended up in the bushes.

This complaint is that of serious health and safety risk ignored with ignorance and belligerence by infiniti. The qx30 is an automatic transmission car that is not just rolling backwards while in drive however it appeard to be driving backwards in drive. While the qx30 is stationary on an city or highway, with or without the automatic shut off engaged, the vehicle will not just roll slightly, however engage in backwards motion to a point of the car seemingly driving backwards while the car is in drive. The car essentially drives in reverse, without operator control. I took the vehicle to jba infiniti ellicott city, md where the manager ken stated this was a "design flaw" within the qx30. I stated the seriousness of this situation, as this occurs while on an incline or not. It was stated the qx30 does not have a transmission lock within the design of the vehicle and therefore the vehicle does have the ability to essentially "roll away while in drive". I explained the serious nature and risk to public safety. I was directed to bring my issue up with infiniti consumer affairs. Infiniti consumer affairs is a waste of words and place the lives of the public without worth. The case number recieved is 36476934 07/23/2019 @ 3:30pm. Please retrieve the call. It haunts my soul to know that death must occur ro have something so crucial taken seriously.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 infiniti qx30. While the vehicle was at a stop sign, it rolled backwards and an unknown red indicator illuminated. The contact had to make sure the brake pedal was depressed to prevent the risk of a crash. The failure occurred several times. J.B.A. Infiniti (8431 baltimore national pike, ellicott city, md 21043, 1-(855) 228-8647) was made aware of the failure. A service technician test drove the vehicle and was able to duplicate the failure; however, the service manager indicated that this was a design flaw and not a failure. The vehicle was still at the dealer for further inspection, but was not repaired because the dealer stated there was no remedy. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
