2008 Nissan Versa Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR. I TOOK IT TO PLANET NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS, NV 12/13/16 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPAIR. I DECLINED AS IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN IN JULY 2017. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2017 AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL JULY 2018. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE THE PART TO BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

NISSAN NOTIFIES ME OF THE RECALL BUT ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER FORCE ME TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER ALONG WITH OTHERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO HAVE TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH THESE DANGEROUS CARS

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES (16V-349 AND 17V-449) ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THESE NOTICES CAME MANY MONTHS APART. AFTER RECEIVING EACH NOTICE, AT MY NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT (PRIORITY NISSAN, TYSONS CORNER, VIRGINIA) I INQUIRED, AND I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, BUT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COMING MONTHS (E.G., IF I ASKED IN OCTOBER, I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING). I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO REAL INTENTION TO HONOR THESE RECALLS, AND I AM FEELING SOMEWHAT UNEASY WHEN DRIVING THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE OUT SINCE MAY OF 2015. IT IS NOW NOV 2017, 18 MONTHS AFTER THE NOTICE, AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. 19 MONTHS FOR A PARTS SHORTAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WHAT CAN I DO, ACTIVELY, TO GET MY VEHICLE'S DEFECT REPAIRED? THE WAITING GAME, IN MY OPINION, IS MERELY A STRATEGY TO DELAY AND HOPE THE ISSUE GOES AWAY. IN THE MEANTIME, MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH.

"TAKATA RECALL" AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2017, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA STATING MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS ON A RECALL LIST AND THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE SPRING 2018 AND I WOULD GET A SECOND LETTER WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SO I WAS GIVEN AT RENTAL CAR SINCE THEY WERE OUT OF LOANER CARS AT FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF RALEIGH, NC. WHICH IS GOOD. TWO WEEKS AGO I GOT A CALL FROM THE PARTS DEPT. OF FRED ANDERSON STATING THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG PART IS IN AND I SHOULD COME FOR A REPAIR, SO I ASKED IF THEY HAD AN OFFICIAL LETTER FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, BECAUSE I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER NOTIFYING ME OF THE PART BEING AVAILABLE. I ASKED HIM WHAT BRAND AND HE (ALEX) SAID TAKATA AND IT WAS A LIMITED SUPPLY. NOW THAT COMPANY AND ALL ITS HOLDINGS HAVE GONE BANKRUPT. I SAID I WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THEN I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEIR INTERNET SALES PERSON CHAD SUSAN STATING THAT I SHOULD BRING MY CAR IN AND TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR, SINCE THE RECALL PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018, THEY WOULD TAKE MY CAR NOW IF I WANTED TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR. HMMMM SAME DEALERSHIP. THEN I GOT A CALL FROM LAUREN FROM SERVICE STATING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL PART IS IN. SO I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 11/10/17 ANS SPOKE TO BRIDGETTE AND SHE SAID THE RECALL PART IS NOT IN AND WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY LIMITED SUPPLY OF AIRBAGS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE RECALL. SHE SAID SHE WOULD OPEN A CLAIM AND A CLAIM REP,. WOULD CALL FROM A 615 NUMBER. SO I GOT A CALL FROM JACCO FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CLAIMS WHO STATED THAT HE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SERVICE DIRECTOR AND THEY HAD A LIMITED SUPPLY OF THE AIRBAGS. SO I ASKED JACCO TO SEND ME A LETTER OR AN EMAIL STATING THAT THEY INDEED HAVE A LIMITED SUPPLY OF AIRBAGS FOR THE RECALL PART AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT DO THAT. THIS IS ALARMING!!!!!! EVEN IF TAKATA!

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECALL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDE DRIVING CAR TO DEALER SO THEY CAN SEE IT. THIS SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE SINCE THE AIRBAGS CAN KILL PEOPLE.

TAKATA RECALL BEGINNING OF OCTOBER, I WENT TO NISSAN WORKSHOP AND NO AIRBAG WAS AVAILABLE. THEY SHOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN PART WILL BE ON SITE. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE? CAN TAKAKA PRODUCE NEW PARTS? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE MY AIRBAG CHANGED? THANK YOU FOR SUPPORT SINCERELY

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS AND THAT THEY WERE ONLY GETTING ONE OR TWO IN A MONTH FROM NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN JUNE OR JULY BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THEY WERE EXPECTING REGULAR SHIPMENTS OF THE PART. I CALLED DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW I'VE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PARTS UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. I'M VERY CONCERNED AND CONFUSED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND EVERY MAILING I RECEIVE SAYS HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN I'M TOLD THAT THERE ISN'T A POSSIBILITY TO FIX IT UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR?!?!

2008 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 17V-449. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPAIR EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE COMPLETED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A LOANER VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/24/2017*JS

TAKATA RECALL MY 18 YEAR DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. WE BROUGHT IT O THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A MINIMUM OF 8 MONTHS VERY THE DEFECT TO BE CORRECTED. A "LOANER CAR" WAS GIVEN TO US. THE PROBLEM IS MY DAUGHTER IS 18 AND THE DEALER WON'T LET HER DRIVE THE LOANER. SHE IS A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT AND WORKS 2 JOBS. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT SHE HAS A CAR. IF IT WAS ONLY GOING TO TAKE A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WE WOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER. 8 MONTHS OR VERY POSSIBLY LONGER IS WAY TO LONG AND IS GOING TO PUT AN UNDUE BURDEN TO OUR FAMILY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN CORP. THEY HAVEN'T YET GIVEN ME A SOLUTION TO THIS DILEMMA. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT A WRONG CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. I'M ASKING YOU AS A TAX PAYER TO PLEASE STEP IN AND MEDIATE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD MAKE ME "WHOLE". MYSELF NOR MY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ADDED STRESS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE MY DAUGHTER'S CAR OR AT THE VERY LEAST BUY THIS CAR BACK FROM ME.

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK AUTO TO DEALER FOR RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER COMPLETION AND OIL CHANGE DEALER TELLS ME ABOUT A RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION YET. DEALER SUGGESTS WE PARK THE AUTO AND NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL PARTS TO REPAIR ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH WILL BE APRIL OF 2018. THAT IS 7 MONTHS! WILL GIVE US A "NEW" RENTAL VEHICLE EVERY 30 DAYS, BUT WE HAVE TO FURNISH INSURANCE COVERAGE ON THE VEHICLE. FOR WORK I PARK IN A GARAGE, AND SCRATCHES AND OCCASIONALLY DINGS HAPPEN. THIS WOULD BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR ME, BUT THEY ARE EXPLAINING THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR. I HAVE A $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A VERY EXPENSIVE SOLUTION. WHY WOULD TAKATA NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE? WHY SHOULD I ASSUME SUCH LIABILITY AND POSSIBLY EXPENSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO HAYS NISSAN, MADISON, TENNESSEE. UPDATED 11/6/2017*JS

TAKATA RECALL - OUR 2008 NISSAN VERSA HAD A RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED IN MARCH 2017, STATING "DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT" DUE TO METAL SHRAPNEL POTENTIALLY STRIKING DRIVER OR PASSENGERS AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT ALSO STATED "NISSAN ANTICIPATES PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VERSA BY THE END OF APRIL 2017". SINCE THEN, I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NEW UPDATES OR NOTICE FROM NISSAN. IN AUGUST 2017, I PHONED NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG ALSO HAD A RECALL FOR SIMILAR FATAL RISK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO A FORM OF COMPENSATION SINCE THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. AFTER SETTING ME UP WITH A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP (CAMPBELL NISSAN OF EDMONDS), I WOULD FIND OUT THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS A PREREQUISITE TO GET SETUP WITH ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. THIS SEEMED TO BE FLAWED PLAN, CONSIDERING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG POSED A FATAL RISK. ALONG WITH THAT, BECAUSE THE RENTAL CAR WOULD REQUIRE ME TO ADD INSURANCE NEW COVERAGES, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ANY ADDITIONAL INSURANCE COST I HAD TO ASSUME FOR THEIR RENTAL LOANER VEHICLE. THE TAKATA AIRBAGS PARTS STILL DO NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED DATE. WITH THE LACK OF NOTICE (PHONE CALL, EMAIL, LETTER) OUTSIDE OF THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO MY WIFE AND I DUE TO THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND OWNERSHIP ON NISSAN'S PART. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY HAVE SETUP A VERY POOR SYSTEM FOR HELPING CONSUMER'S TRANSITION TO THEIR OFFERING OF A RENTAL VEHICLE. ATTACHED ARE THE ORIGINAL LETTER I RECEIVED AS WELL AS A "CAMPAIGN VEHICLE STORAGE AGREEMENT" THAT NISSAN REQUESTED I SIGN, EVEN THOUGH IT SUGGESTED I WAS OK TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE REPAIR.
