Problems with 2008 Nissan Versa AIR BAGS

Takata recall i have repeatedly contacted nissan for assistance in getting this recall addressed. each time, they keep telling me ill have to wait until "next spring" for the parts to come in. in the mean time, i am putting myself and other passengers at risk of injury and/or death.

Takata recall - it has almost been a year since the recall and a 2nd letter has not been sent out & a repair has not been done. it is unreasonable to expect me to drive a car in which no one can sit in the passenger seat for a year or more due to a dangerous air bag!

Takata recall. i have a family of five including two car seats making it impossible to for us not to use the passenger seat of our nissan versa. i called nissan and they were willing to reimburse me for a car rental within 2-4 weeks after i paid for a rental car. nissan refuses to pay for the extended insurance needed to cover a rental vehicle nor the deposit. if they're claiming liability how is it that we the consumer should suffer personal and financial anguish with the knowledge that we're forced to put ourselves or a family member in harm's way because of nissan's refusal to provide a rental car without financial attachments.

Takata recall - received recall notice in the mail in early march 2017. parts for the recall repair were expected by the end of april. it is now the beginning of july and i have not received any updates and no repairs. i am not supposed to drive with passengers in the front seat and i feel unsafe driving this vehicle. i've been waiting for parts and notification of repair for over three months. my initial letter states that if my recall is not completed in a timely manner that i should file a complaint with the nhtsa, and i am doing that now. please help me get my vehicle repaired.

Takata recall i received a notice in march, the passenger air bag was under recall. i was to wait for a second notice, that was supposed to have been received by the end of april, before taking it in for replacement at a nissan dealer. that notice has not yet come.

Takata recall (potentially - my notice doesn't say specifically). i received a recall notice early this year that said i would be receiving a second letter by the end of april for replacement parts for the "front passenger air bag inflator". it is now the end of june, and i haven't received the letter. i am currently unable to use my passenger seat due to this. it also seems there is a danger to me continuing to drive the car.

Takata recall - two separate recalls have been issued for my car, 17v-028 and 17v-449. the first recall is from january 10th. the recall states: "nissan is currently awaiting parts to remedy the affected vehicles. nissan will send you a second letter, when parts are available, asking you to bring your vehicle to an nissan dealer for the remedy at that time." this has been almost 7 full months, and i have not received anything regarding the new parts being available, so i am still driving with a car with a defective airbag.

Takata recall. the recall is jan. 10, 2017. the dealer can't get information from nissan as to what the problem involved and when they will supply parts for repairs. the dealer is only told by nissan to advise the customer not to use the passenger side of the car. this is not doable. we cannot sell the car with this problem, cannot safely use the car and have no idea when or how the problem will be solved.

Passenger airbag recall, parts were supposed to be ready by the end of april. it is may 8th and have received no letter stating parts are available.

Takata airbags: i have taken my vehicle in twice for the same recall. first time, i was told a temporary part was put in until the permanent one came from the manufacturer (that was earlier this year), then i received a call from this same dealership that the permanent part was in. so i took it back in july for it to be installed and yet, that part has been recalled also. the dealership tells me "they are waiting on the manufacturer for the replacement part that will finally fix this issue with the takata inflator airbag issue. meanwhile and as i wait, i am putting myself in danger driving the car and those who ride with me. this inflator issue needs to be fixed and soon! i need help getting the proper resolution that will remedy this situation. the manufacturer need to speed up the process and make this a priority to get resolved as i have two nissan versa's and both have the same takata inflator issues under the recall. my other car is a 2010 also needing the permanent part to fix it's inflator issue.

Takata recall still no parts to repair. suggested not use passenter seat. unable to use seat since may. no repairs scheduled. still waiting.

Proper repair work was suppose to be completed 12/31/16, it is now 3/27/17, and they say they have no idea when it will be resolved recall 16v-349

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 nissan versa. upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and remained lit while driving. the contact called nissan of garden city (316 n franklin st, hempstead, ny 11550 (516) 483-5150), but the vehicle was not diagnosed due to the diagnostic fees. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist, informing the contact that dealers can charge for diagnostic testing. the failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

All the airbags not working as indicated lights flashing! recall states passenger airbag could explode causing metal fragments resulting in injury even death. was informed by nissan san francisco dealer that there is no fix for the airbag problem yet and they're not responsible for my anything to do with airbags not engaged except for the recall and that there is no fix for currently for the safety recall. in addition, when buying new tire sand getting a wheel alignment, i've been informed that all 4 of my struts are bent and suspension is off as a result.

Takata recall - i received the recall notice in the mail from nissan in july 2016. just recently (september 2016) we contacted our local nissan service department to check on the status of the parts needed to perform the recall and they told us that the parts are available and scheduled an appointment for us to come in. my wife took the car in for the scheduled appointment and while she waited one of the workers came out and said they can't do the work because they got a notice from nissan corporate saying to only fix cars that are registered in florida, usa. i called nissan direct to complain. a case number was opened and i was told someone from corporate would contact me in a few days. that hasn't happened yet. now i am forced to not allow anyone to ride in the passenger seat, when this is our only vehicle and we regularly need all 5 seats for the volunteer work that we do. if this part does not need replaced, then i want a written notice from nissan saying that the car is safe to drive at full capacity, or a replacement vehicle needs to offered. this is unacceptable.

The driver side clock spring has developed a problem that affects all of the air-bags in the car. none work. this was detected only after they had worked on the problem for a very minor defect. the trouble lights come on and off at any given moment. i went over the depressions in the center of the road to pass a car and the tire problem light came on. now none of the power windows work. i don't believe i should have all these problems with a car that is only 8 years old.

I received a letter regarding an "important safety recall" from nissan. the reason for recall is as stated - "continued exposure to areas with high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front passenger air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally resulting in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." what you should do, as stated in the letter - "once you receive an invitation to repair letter, please contact your nissan retailer to schedule an appointment. in the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat. if you remain concerned about the air bag inflator in your vehicle, contact the consumer affairs department at 1-800-647-7261. well we waited at least 3 weeks with no letter so we called. the parts are not available and won't be until maybe september, they are going to be manufactured. the versa is very small and the driver is about a foot away from the passenger air bag. this is a terrifying prospect that air bag may explode. i am afraid to drive my car which i paid $17,000 for in 2008 and i cannot carry passengers. nissan and the dealer at west hills nissan in coraopolis, pa refused us a loaner/rental car to drive in the interim. this is unacceptable. please help. thank you. *tr

Takata recall i was notified last summer about a recall on the air bag and was told not to have passengers in the vehicle due to the potentially fatal flaw. this is my only vehicle and i have a family that needs rides. i contacted the dealer recently and was told they don't have the parts and that nissan wasn't allowing them to order the parts. i contacted nissan and they tell me the parts are not available until some time in 2017. this is unacceptable that they are aware of the risk and are not expediting this repair to be performed. they basically give me the impression they don't care and they are not in a hurry to get this done. i expected this potential fatal flaw in the vehicle to be repaired asap not when they feel like it. this needs to be expedited because if anything does occur and their is injury or death it is on you and nissan for not getting this taken care of in a very timely manner. i also have the tire pressure monitor system which i understand now is a federal regulation to have equipped on vehicles. this system is very faulty and does not work and extremely expensive to repair. i think if the federal government is going to require this they need to make sure the equipment is reliable and not a high cost to repair.

I received a recall notice in the mail (nhtsa recall 16v-349) on july 27, 2016 with a warning that the passenger seat air bag could rupture, but would be repaired at nissan's expense. this notice stated that i would be contacted by nissan to bring my vehicle in for repair when parts where available. i waited until september 26, 2016 without any word from nissan whatsoever. on september 26th 2016 i placed a call to nissan consumers affairs dept. at 1-800-647-7261 and spoke with a girl named shasha at ext 457784, who gave me a case #24185800 and told me that it might be a month before i would hear anything as parts were not available at that moment. on october 27, 2016 i called again, as in the meantime i was not able to have any passengers ride in the front seat, and i have been very diligent in complying with this suggestion. this time i talked to a girl named jonna at ext. #457477 who gave me a different case # 24454562 but told me that it would be the end of december of 2016 or possibly as far as the end of march 2017 before they would have parts available. now, today is march 31, 2017 and i have not been contacted by any nissan dealership or anyone else who would give me any kind of information. so now i am using this website to submit a complaint, can you please help me? my phone number was just recently changed, but i still live at the same address that the recall was sent to.

I received a safety recall notice from nissan explaining the following: "continued exposure to areas with high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front passenger air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally resulting in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." when i called nissan in july 2016 they said they would be receiving the parts to fix the problem by either september or october 2016. i called nissan again on october 17, 2016 they said they will not have the parts until december 2016. i have not received any follow-up notice of any kind and if i had not called nissan on the 17th of october, they would not have notified me to let me know that the parts will now not be in until december 2016. i would like better communication and more updates from nissan while this issue is resolved since i now cannot allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat and it is an extreme inconvenience for me since i need to have that seat available for my family. *tr
