Takata recall - this recall was issued may 23, 2016, and nissan has yet to have available parts to perform the needed repairs. their only instructions were to avoid having someone ride in the passenger seat. while this might be understandable for a few days, this has been nearly 9 months. i need to use all seats in my car, but yet don't want to put my family's lives in danger. please encourage the manufacturer to release the needed parts for the repairs in a timely manner!!!

I went my local dilarship when i got recall letter. they said have no airbags. they give me another schedule and told me call them before come. i call them again to know about airbags is available they said me available. i went again but they said can't take off old airbags couse it's been stuck. they give back car and said have to pay for fix that. what i do now let plz .

Takata recall- i received an important safety recall notice from nissan regarding the airbags and have taken the advisement of possible passenger death very seriously. i need the car for daily transportation though am not able to drive with passengers in the front seat, limiting what i am able to do with the car. nissan has been non responsive with me at both the dealer level and at their national consumer affairs level and i am not able to get a time estimate as to when the parts will be available for repair.

Takata recall. nissan sent a notice months ago saying they would notify us when they had parts on the inflator/airbag repair. until then we were not to use the passenger front seat. they have not given us one single update! it has been over a year and we have heard nothing! there is no excuse for such customer treatment. i called nissan today after several transfers and was told that maybe they would have some parts during the first quarter of 2017. shouldn't our government fine these car companies? where is our congress and senators on these types of safety issues? hiding in the weeds? collecting their fat salaries? they are laying it all off on takata...however, takata is one of nissan's suppliers. why isn't nissan held accountable and required to recall the cars and pay the customers for this mess? (btw--this isn't the first safety recall of the versa).

Takata recall on november 9th i brought my versa into the dealer and they performed the recall, replacing the passenger airbag. however, some of the things that they said and did made me suspicious that perhaps they did not actually perform the work or replace the old airbag. sometime in early 2016 i received a letter from nissan informing me of the passenger airbag recall and telling me not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat, and to wait until i got a second letter when the part was available. in early november, i had already been waiting for many months for this second letter from nissan, but the letter never came and still has not come. so i called my dealer on november 8th to see if perhaps the second letter had been lost in the mail, and if the part was now available. the dealer said yes, the new inflator just came in, and to bring my vehicle in, which i did first thing the next morning. they called an hour later to say they could not find the part. then they later said they found it. then they performed the work in about an hour or less. it seemed too fast. as i was driving away, i realized that i only had their word for it that they had actually performed the work. so i called the nissan headquarters and got to speak to their consumer affairs department. my regional case manager at nissan consumer affairs investigated by calling my dealer and then called me back. he told me that the dealer said they performed an "interim repair" on my vehicle and that i will be notified when the permanent replacement part becomes available! he said the new airbag that i received was another takata airbag that had never been exposed to humidity. i want to know what airbag is actually in my car now. i had my local mechanic open up the compartment and i photograped the "new" airbag now in my car. i photographed the serial number. *tr

Takata airbag complaint. i received the interim notification from nissan in early july, and to this day have received no further communication from nissan on the matter. this has been four months that i have not been able to fully use the vehicle, since having passengers in the front seat is unsafe. documentation on safecar.gov suggests that there is an interim fix for this recall, however, my dealer could find no record of this in their system nor have they received any communication from nissan since the initial release. the latest update shows that parts for a final fix may not be available until december or later. this is inexcusable, far beyond a reasonable wait time to fix this very dangerous problem that also significantly reduces the utility and safety of the vehicle. i have also spoken with nissan customer service about this issue (although i did not escalate the complaint beyond first-level service) to absolutely zero resolution. i am hoping there is some recourse or faster resolution to this issue. *tr

My car's check engine light and the airbag indicator lights came up. the dealer diagnosed the problem and it was a faulty fuel level sending unit for the check engine light and for the airbag light was due to a bad airbag control unit and clock spring. the car was never in an accident and had around 80k miles on it when this happened.

Takata inflators - i received a recall notification sometime during mid summer 2016, for nhtsa recall 16v-349 from nissan north american inc. i was informed of the defect of the front passenger air bag inflators. the recall notification letter indicated that nissan was "awaiting parts to remedy the affected vehicles". i was to be sent a second letter when parts were available and arrange to take the vehicle to a nissan dealer for repairs. during the beginning of september 2016 my vehicle was at the dealer for other repairs and we inquired as to when they thought parts might be available. we were told the were supposed to be available any time and they would have to order them once they were available. today i contacted nissan north america at the phone number listed on the original and only recall notice i received. i was told that repairs should already have been made to my vehicle, to contact the dealer and if they were not able to schedule and make repairs to contact them again. i called the dealer, nissan of mckinney (texas) and was put on hold to see if they could schedule my vehicle for repairs, and came back and immediately scheduled repairs for next week. i find it appalling that a safety recall, which could result in the death of an individual, was so poorly executed by both nissan north america, who failed to send out the second letter the original notification indicated would be sent, and the dealer who so deftly ignored any responsibility on following through on even contacting us about parts, when we had queried them so recently. we bought the 2007 versa new and it is still registered in the same names, at the same address and even maintenance and repairs are completed at the same selling dealer. i consider this safety recall campaign a completely failure on the parts of both nissan north american and mckinney nissan.

When i turned on my airbag sensor light lit up and would not go out i brought the car to the dealer and the dealer told me the airbag had to be replaced dealer charge me $894 to install the airbag

Takata recall: i have a recall letter nhtsa recall 16v-349 more than half a year ago. despite numerous calls to the nissan consumer affairs and the local retailer, the airbag has not been replaced and no action has been taken. i can not drive passengers around in the passenger seat .

I received notice of the takata passenger airbag recall in august, 2016. i have been unable to have passengers in my car since august without risking their deaths. nissan has done absolutely nothing to remedy the situation. despite many calls & many promises from them that the parts will be in "soon," they have done nothing but apologize. toyota & honda seem to be able to get parts but nissan says they can't. now they're telling me it might be march of 2017 before i can get my vehicle fixed; 8 months after their original recall notice. this recall is a huge inconvenience to me & my family, never mind possible danger to me as the driver should the airbag deploy erroneously. nissan's behavior is irresponsible & unacceptable. nissan needs to be disciplined.

Takata recall i received a recall notice for the front passenger over 6 months ago stating that the airbag can deploy abnormally causing serious injury or death. i have contacted autonation nissan pembroke pines on numerous occasions requesting a rental or that the defective airbag be removed as i carry people in my car everyday. each time i call i'm given excuses. i would like to have the airbag removed immediately, its better to not have one than one that can kill you even if you are not driving. the recall said it can deploy simply based on humidity.

2007 nissan versa. consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair front passenger air bag inflator recall notice. *smd updated 04/12/2017*js

Takata recall (nhtsa recall 16v-349) - my complaint is that nissan north america denied vehicle owner's request to provide a loaner vehicle until the defect is repaired. the request was based on potential safety risk posed by the subject defect to vehicle occupants while the vehicle is used/driven. the recall notice says the defect may result in "metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." this is an unacceptable risk. the vehicle owner's only recourse is to not drive the vehicle, which is also unacceptable given the need to use it. therefore, i request that nhtsa require nissan north america to provide a free loaner vehicle to the owner of the defective vehicle until the defect is repaired.

I received a safety recall notice since 6 months ago and i called the nissan retailer and they do not have an answer for me of when the part is to be available. i am worried about my security and the security of my family. i need the part to be replaced as soon as possible.

Takata recall: i received a safety recall letter from nissan stating that the front passenger airbag in my 2007 nissan versa needs to be replaced. i called the dealership and was told nissan does not provide loaner cars and will not pay for rental cars. i called nissan consumer affairs and was told the same. i was also informed that the parts for the needed repair work won't be in until late sept./early oct. i need my car for transportation to work and for driving my child to school, etc. i do not have a second car, and i cannot afford to rent a car and pay for that. nissan instructed me to have my child sit in the back seat but if the airbag is deployed, as the driver, i will be sitting inches from possibly flying metal. i do not understand why nisan is not providing more assistance with this very serious recall. when i mentioned that i have an older car (my car is over ten years old) and so the risk is greater, the supervisor at nissan consumer affairs stated she did not know anything about that. shouldn't car manufacturers provide loaner cars to people who have these "ticking time bombs" in their cars? how can nissan expect me to just stop driving my car? how do they expect me to get to work every day?

Takata recall. i have received my first notice from nissan. these idiots tell me i have to wait awhile before they can get the perts. in the meantime, i am told to keep people out of the front passenger seat. if i and anyone else in this car are in mortal danger, why the hell can't they remove this airbag now?

On july 26, 2016, i received a recall notice from nissan north america, inc. for my 2007 nissan versa. it advised me to make an appointment at the local dealership for a repair or replacement of the airbag on the passenger side and not to allow anyone to ride on the passenger side of the vehicle. what i do not understand is why it took 9 years to discover this defect and what i do not like is being told how i must utilize my vehicle in order to protect other passengers. it makes we wonder if i would want to replace this vehicle which has worked very well over the years with another nissan versa or other nissan vehicle. i have scheduled an appointment with my local dealership for september 12, but until that time will not be able to carry a passenger in the front of the vehicle.

Takata recall 16v-349: re: doj case number 16-20810, u.s. district court, eastern district of michigan. i see from the plea agreement that u.s. government received its money, the clerk of court in michigan received its $400.00. the vehicle manufacturers also received their cut. however, the folks that own affected vehicles that cannot accommodate front passenger until replacement of inflator is made are out of luck. nothing is being done for them. all we receive is run around; i have not been able to use front passenger seat since being notified by recall notice date 07/25/2016. perhaps someone in u.s. government can put another fire under takata's butt to get these replacements produced and get dealers off their duffs to replace the faulty parts. this vehicle must be driven regularly to transport grandchildren.
