It hasn’t been a particularly stellar year for Japanese auto manufacturers in terms of the little things like keeping customers alive. Toyota has done its best to trash it reputation, and now Nissan, which owns the Infiniti brand, has announced that a connector in the G35 sedans and coups could be faulty, which would prevent the air bags from deploying.

The wire harness on 2005 to 2007 G35 Coupes, and 2005 to 2006 G35 Sedans can wear down and interrupt the air bag’s signal. If the signal degrades too far, the air bag will not deploy during a crash.

According to ABC News, a spokesman for Nissan has confirmed that there have been no injuries reported, and that if the vehicle’s red air bag warning light goes on, owners should bring their cars into a dealership for repair.

For cars that do not display the warning light, Nissan and Infiniti will notify the owners of the issue, and let them know to take their car in to the shop.

Kia EV4: everything we know so far

Kia EV4 Front

Kia is continuing to expand its electric car lineup. The EV6 and EV9 have both been out for some time now, and the company is in the middle of rolling out the EV3 in Europe, with a North American release expected next year. After that, it's likely the company will turn to the EV5. But what about after that? Well, that could be where the Kia EV4 comes in.

Kia announced a concept version of the EV4 at its EV Day in 2023, showing off a futuristic-looking hatchback that's seemingly a little smaller than the EV6, but keeps many design elements. Since then, Kia has confirmed very few details about it, though we have seen it shown off at other automotive events. Here's everything we know about the Kia EV4 so far.
Kia EV4 design
The Kia EV4, or at least the concept version of it, is smaller than the EV6, and much smaller than the EV9. It's actually closer in size to a sedan than anything else, though with its open trunk, it could be considered a hatchback. Regardless, it certainly blurs the line between the two. So much so, that in recent months we've actually seen a full hatchback version of the EV4 being tested -- and it's possible that Kia is pivoting the design of the EV4 entirely to be a hatch, or will be releasing both hatchback and sedan versions.
