HAD A RECALL ON THE 2004-2006 AIR BAGS AND TOOK TITAN IN TO UNIVERSITY NISSAN IN FLORENCE, AL. WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ON SOME OF THE 2004-2006 TITANS AND THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO GET A SOLUTION. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF WAITING I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEN UNIVERSITY NISSAN TRIED AGAIN TO REPROGRAM THE AIRBAGS BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT TAKE. NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS SUSPENDED THE RECALL UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY CAN PRODUCE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS RECALL. I KNOW, OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND NOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ? IF AIR BAGS DECIDE TO GO OFF ON MY VEHICLE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO FIX IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ? I NEED MY VEHICLE AND CANNOT PARK UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE. I NEED SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. IF YOU CANNOT HELP THEN WHERE DO I TURN FOR HELP. EMMETT JONES

TAKATA AIRBAG IN THIS MODEL?

MY NISSAN TITAN IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, IT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT ANY REASON. I HAVE TALKED TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HATTIESBURG, MS, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT INCLUDED. IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN, I AM SURE NISSAN WOULD PAY DEARLY. MY NISSAN ALSO HAD THE BRAKE PROBLEM THAT YOU DID THE RECALL ON SEVERAL YEARS BACK , BUT AGAIN, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE NISSAN HERE DID FIX IT AND DID NOT CHARGE ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE I GET KILLED OR INJURED BADLY.
