Thankfully my wife and i have not been involved in a traffic incident since july 2016 and so have not been subjected to potentially disastrous affects of the airbag discharging metal fragments after excessive exposure to high humidity. for context, we live in new orleans, and i'm relatively sure there are few places more humid than new orleans within the united states. as such, i would classify us as being at a high risk for issues with our airbags. that being said, the passenger side recall took over 18 months to be resolved, all the while, we were told to not have a passenger in the front passenger seat for the duration and were not provided an alternate vehicle to drive. we persevered throughout, but now are being told the driver airbag may also be faulty. i'm not sure what alternate solution they are able to provide at this time but we have certainly not been provided an alternate vehicle to drive in the meantime. we have been told parts are anticipated in late q1 of 2018, but we certainly won't be holding our breath as the prior part etas fell further and further back as we checked in with the dealership.

Takata airbag? i don't know because nothing has happened to date but i have a flashing airbag light i can't afford to fix. i've been told various prices for initial scans and diagnosis, but with all the takata issues and this being an imported vehicle manufactured by nissan i believe someone should look into this before i'm subjected to the time and expense. i've been told with a flashing airbag light the system is inactive and less safe. please review and advise

Takata recall--i received an "interim" notice maybe an entire year ago regarding a recall of my vehicle due to an issue with the passenger air bag. i was told in this notice that i should not allow anyone to ride in the passenger's seat of my car due to a problem with the air bag that may cause its inflator to "rupture or deploy abnormally, resulting in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." i was told to wait for an invitation to repair letter, but it has been a very long time and i've heard nothing further from the dealer about this problem or this interim notice. i have to be able to drive my car. asking me not to allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat for an entire year while waiting on parts is not feasible. if this issue is as serious as was advised in the letter, i think something else should have been done in the interim. even just communicating the reason for the delays from the manufacturer would be something. or explaining why turning off the passenger airbag is or is not a good trade-off for keeping it on, and risking that the airbag will deploy improperly and maim occupants of my car. this issue sounds scary and i haven't been provided with much pertinent information from the dealer about it, let alone any potential options aside from waiting and dreading my passenger airbag deploying.
