Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2007 Nissan Versa

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan versa. the contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, a loud explosion was heard and smoke was present inside the vehicle. after stopping to investigate, it was discovered that the front driver seat side air bag had erroneously deployed. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer and local dealer leckner nissan (8569 baltimore national pike. ellicott city) were both notified of the failure. the vehicle was not contacted. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 70,000.

I'm just curious as to this newest recall nissan has issues for certain versa sedans and hatchbacks. you see, both my front passenger and front driver (steering column) airbags both had to be replaced due to a recall. now, the side air bags are beginning to show up on the recall list yet when i enter my vin, it shows no active recalls. i'm not really a betting woman but i will say that if my driver and passenger were replaced, wouldn't it stand to reason that the side airbags should probably be included in this newest recall nissan has put out? i got two side airbags. one on my driver and one on my passenger. and i don't want little metal fragments exploding in my face if impact comes to my car. please let me know as it can take a while for my dealership to get the parts needed to replace the airbags. you know if two out of the four airbags have already been recalled, chances are the other two are next.

Takata recall when i received my recall i went to the dealership. they inspected my car and i'm assuming my airbag. she got my name and number, and told me i would be 18tg on the wait list for my part, it was supposed to arrive in march or may i believe is what she told me. i have yet to hear from east tennessee nissan of morristown. i emailed them and have yet to get a response. i have been waiting around , and this is the only automobile i have to drive. i really don't feel comfortable driving it , if it could potentially deploy and send shards of metal fragments at me.

Tl* takata recall the contact owns a 2007 nissan versa. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v449000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair as the recall notice was received over a year ago. the dealer (autonation nissan miami, 3345 sw 8th st, miami, fl 33135) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. the manufacturer was contacted several times and was unable to confirm when the parts were to become available. the contact had not experienced a failure. the vin was not available.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 nissan versa. the contact took the vehicle to harbor nissan (4336 tamiami trail, port charlotte, fl) to be repaired per nhtsa campaign numbers: 17v449000 (air bags) and 17v028000 (air bags). at the dealer, the contact was informed by the technician that the coil spring assembly was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was only partially repaired and the dealer charged the contact for the coil spring corrosion repair. afterwards, the contact stated that the vehicle veered while driving various speeds. the failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

I received a recall notice in the fall of 2017 for the driver side airbag. when the replacement airbags were available in the spring of 2018 & called my local dealership where i purchased the car and made an appointment to have the work done. i was told when i arrived that because the airbag light was flashing they needed to do a diagnostic test that would cost $100+ to determine if it was safe to replace the airbag. they stated that the wiring harness/spiral cable may be the problem & that it would cost $1000+ to replace everything & that this was not covered under the recall. the vehicle has less than 94000 miles. i really like the car, but i also want to make sure it is safe to drive. do i have any rights here? i called nissanone & they gave me a case # 31081454, they contacted the dealer & they were told that my check engine light needed to be addressed first. i have owned this car for 10 years, brought it new, the check engine light has never came on. maybe the dealer used "check engine" light as a blanket term for any light that lights up on the dash board. i don't know. the nissan representative just keep saying that for safety reasons i needed to have it changes as soon as possible or maybe take it to another dealer. i would have to drive about 40 miles to another nissan dealer, which is ok, but why should i have too do that? any assistants or advice you can give me is greatly appreciated.

I went with my car to a dealer: auto nation nissan miami and they change the two inflator air bags according by dealer documents but the air bag signal in the dashboard continue blinking like the air bag system is not working. i call them and they said can't doing anything.

Tacit recall . this car has a air bag light blinking and also a tire pressure light blinking too . i know that nissan waiting for parts to start calling cars in to fix this issue with air bags , what i should do in case of an air bag blow out . my daughter use this car for school and work .

Takata recall - replacement parts for both the front driver (manufacturer recall number pm685 nhtsa recall number 17v-449) and front passenger (manufacturer recall number pm657 nhtsa recall number 16v-349) were not made available by nissan to my nissan dealer (conicelli nissan in conshohocken, pa). coil spring recall - replacement parts for the front coil spring (manufacturer recall number pm565 nhtsa recall number 15v-573) were not made available by nissan to my nissan dealer (conicelli nissan in conshohocken, pa). this is pathetic behavior by nissan and its suppliers.

Takata recall: local nissan dealership (sandy sansing nissan, pensacola florida) was contacted by us several times over the past 4 months, requesting information on this recall. we were told the part to repair the airbag is not available and won't be until spring 2018. when i called again today, i was told the same thing, but also told by the nissan serviceman, "this is a voluntary recall by nissan, done out of an abundance of caution. nothing to worry about." i asked him if it was the airbag recall that had been in the press for the past few years for takata and he said, "no. this is a different part - just replacing the inflators and isn't anything to worry about. there is no threat to life or well being of drivers or passengers." i asked if he would call me when the parts are available and he said, "no, but you can call me every few weeks to see if the parts are in." i looked up the recall on the nhtsa website and it is, indeed the takata recall that people have died and/or been seriously injured from the airbags being faulty. this is my 18 year old son's car. i'm really ticked off and concerned.

Takata air bag recall, being charged to fix!! i have 2 airbag recalls. i've had a rental for 3 months while awaiting parts (expected spring 2018) on 12/19/07, adam ruehman, (service advisor) calls me & tells me he's getting "screamed at" because i've had the rental so long. he said that he had my airbag ready. i asked him if he had both, because that was strange. i called nissan headquarters who confirmed that they did not have both airbags, only one. that i can take my car to fix one & keep the rental until they got the other one. i had to work so i had to wait until the morning. the next day,12/20, adam calls me telling me again, that they have both parts. nissan hq calls again & tells me now, that the service dept said that they do have parts for both airbags. i bring my car in & adam tells me that it will be 300$ because i need a spring that is connected to the airbag & that's also the reason my horn doesn't work. i tell him that i don't have any money (xmas time) i'm single mom & broke. i said "so what do i do?" he said "sorry, we can still fix it, it just won't work" i didn't tell him he could repair my car without the spring that i was required to pay for. i was very upset & sent off in a courtesy van to go get the rental car & bring it back for them, expected to drive my car with a recall repair that was done incorrectly. i called nissan hq & they told me that the case was forwarded to a higher department & it will be 24 hours & they couldn't help me. i called adam @dealership & told him that i'm not taking my car like that because it's unsafe to drive & not returning the rental until i hear from nissan hq. he said ok. shortly after, adam left me voicemails demanding to bring the rental back because the recall repair was "complete", & nissan was not going to pay for any more rentals, to come pick up my car and they will charge me 35$ a day for the rental.

Takata recall the passenger airbag nhtsa recall number 16v-349 was posted on may of 2016, and we are still awaiting parts and notification from nissan! the driver airbag nhtsa recall number 17v-449 was posted in july 17, and again we are still waiting for parts. this is unacceptable, given the potential risk involved.

Pm657, 16v-349

Takata recall - after already having the airbag replaced once, i received another recall notice. i called all nissan dealers in the area (exton and concordville pa), and neither has the part available to replace. i was told it will not be available until the spring!!!!!! this is a serious recall and i am unable to get the issue resolved anytime in the near future.

Dear sir, nissan corporate has been very rude and purposely mis-representing information with regards to putting us in an alternative vehicle since the recall. the are also refusing to honor a driver side seat belt warranty, the seat belt being stuck in it's buckle. on 11/1/2017 we were advised to not drive our versa any more in a phone call from nissan. the local dealer then told us to call back again the following day, as the person who is supposed to give us paperwork is on leave. we insisted and then a service technician told us to call enterprise and reserve a car. enterprise sent us back to nissan dealer for a purchase order. finally with run around, another service tech gave us the papwerwork for the loaner car. we called enterprise again to book the car and got their at the 5:00 pm, when the car was reserved. it took 90 minutes for enterprise to get the car after which service manager reneeta refuesed to give us a car until we paid a deposit. she persisted and suggested that if we did not buy insurance, the smallest dent on the car will come off our personal insurance deductible, even if not our fault. i am at loss on why we should be paying such deposits or be harrassed be the nissan dealer and rental car for a recall and why is nissan offerring customers a loaner and then harress them so that customer give up on taking the loaner. i will call nhtsa tomorrow to formally request an investigation on the same. nissan corporate contact : deandra : (615) 725 7545 enterprise : reneeta & terence clark - [email protected] town center nissan contact : dominic please help! thanks, ashish

Takata recall i am having difficulty with the recall process, primarily receiving a return call from dealership after calling on four different occasions; and receiving alternate transportation option because "all 35 loaner cars had been already given out". i do not want to drive this vehicle due to the serious nature of the recalls, however i have not been able to rectify this situation with local dealerships. please help.

Takata recall: i was provided information that the airbags needed to be replaced. i called mossy nissan to schedule and i was told that the parts would not be in until spring 2018, however, they would provide a loaner car until the repairs can be made. unfortunately, they would only provide the loaner car with my 20 year old daughter driving if we paid $25.00 per day for 9 months. now this is their recall, they are the ones that said it was absolutely not safe to drive but they want me to pay over $6000 in rental fees? so either my daughter drives an unsafe car or we have to basically pay the value of a new car in rental costs. this is not safe and if this is their recall, regardless of the driver, this should be covered.

Takata recall i was informed last week via a letter that i have two recalls on my vehicle. so i did what nissan told me to do and went to a dealership, to pick up a loaner vehicle provided from nissan. we went through all of the paperwork and they informed me that the driver side airbag will not be available until spring 2018. i accepted this fact and was willing to accept their loaner vehicle and bring my car home and not drive it. when we got to the rental agreement they informed me i would not be able to use the vehicle for lyft or uber driving, lyft is my main source of income and i have no other option. i am also a driver for amazon flex and i'm leaving pizza hut. when i went to sign the rental agreement they informed me that i would not be able to use their vehicle for my job. also they informed me that i would need to contact nissan for it to be approved to be able to use the vehicle for commercial purposes. this is my only means of transportation and income. so i contacted nissan and the person i was connected with escalated my case to a regional nissan manager. the second person called me back within a few hours and informed me that i would not be able to use the vehicle for my job, and that if i choose to continue to drive my current vehicle i would be relinquishing any rights if the airbags were to harm me. so i either choose to accept their loaner vehicle and find a new job, or refuse the car and drive my current vehicle with airbags that might harm me and or occupants of my vehicle. while i was at the dealership i attempted everything i possibly could i even asked if they would be able to accept my car as a trade in they denied to this because of the airbags. so i have the choice of changing careers or continue to drive a car that could possibly injure me or any occupants. i was informed to contact the nhtsa by the dealership i purchased my car from.

Takata recall i purchased this car new from local dealer,and i am trying to get loaner car since parts are not available till april 2018. i have repeatedly called the dealer premier nissan in metairie, la without any respose from them. they also sent me in mail loaner car is available but when u call them no one is available and they never return calls back. please investigate these dealers, they pretend to comply but running a scham.

Takata recall i have been told by the nissan dealership in canton, michigan that they wont have the airbag parts until march 2018. it is the drivers side airbag and i need the car to go to work each day; however, i am afraid to drive it but have no choice.

Tacata recall the dealer could not fix the issue (could not put a new airbag) they didnt have an airbag

Takata recall--i received a recall from nissan and immedialey went to a dealer. they told me that once i accepted a loaner car, for which i had to provide the insurance coverage, i could not move my car. i am planning on selling my house and moving, and they could not tell me what to do with my car with the airbag. i wrote to nissan and all i can get are automated messages that they will respond when they have an answer. that was over 1 month ago. no answer. why can't they respond? i am unable to make appropriate decisions and continue to drive the car pending a response.

Takata recall . my vehicles airbag light indicator turned on the other day while stationary san diego california went through countless mechanics to search for the problem & no luck . did some research found out there was not 1 but 2 recalls on my vehicle both concerning the airbags. as a lyft driver and a family man i was very concerned for myself, my family & my passengers & was notified only on the 2nd recall but not the 1st. very disappointed that safety was an issue this whole time driving this vehicle & glad nothing horrific happened.

Takata recall - recall 17v-449 was issued for my 2007 nissan versa on 07/21/2017. it has been 60 days, and i have received no notification from nissan regarding the recall.

Takata recall. nissan has been dragging its feet in providing me with a rental car while waiting for the repair associated with the recall. i have been dealing first with my local dealer about getting a rental; and now i have been dealing nissan about the rental. nissan has been misrepresenting where and when i am to receive e rental. my nissan "regional consumer specialist" will not return my phone calls and nissan will only refer me to that specialist.

Takata recall. got a recall notice from nissan. said don't allow anyone to sit in passenger side of car. called van nuys nissan multiple times for 2 years until they finally could repair it. three months pass without that omnipresent stress. then another recall notice arrives about driver's side air bag. says parts not available until spring 2018. similar message to before. i have no expectation they will be able to repair my car by then. afraid to drive but this is my only car. i do work at home so drive less than other people, but i can't stay home 100% of the time. nissan should replace these vehicles. people have died.

Takata recall my 2007 nissan versa's passenger airbag has a recall on it (nhtsa id 16v-349) for some time now, and the nissan dealership nearest me keeps telling me that no repair parts are available.

Recall

Reference is made to complaint number 10995617. as of 08/28/2017 i have not had a response regarding how corrective action clears the recall notice. who is authorized to make the necessary changes to the website?

Takata recall: there is problem with the nhtsa website and i am upset. how does the recall status get changed from "recall incomplete" to say "completed" or "no outstanding campaign" when the repair was done? a nhtsa customer service person could not provide any answer. a nissan north america, inc customer service person could not provide any answer. so how does the work repair invoice information gets transmitted up the manufacture chain and onto the nhtsa? who makes the necessary changes to nhtsa website and show work was completed?

Takata recall i am writing to complain inability for the manufacturer to come up with a solution to the recall on my vehicle in a timely manner. it has a year. i am unable to allow people to ride in the passenger seat of my car and while that might not be a primary function of a vehicle it is most certainly a crucial secondary function. i might rest easier if "high levels of absolute humidity" was a bit more clear, e.g. providing an absolute humidity range or a list of states where this is more common. thank you
