My airbag light has been on for a few days now and i'm scared to drive the car
Takata recall - i cannot get my local dealers to return my call to schedule an appointment to get this issue fixed. i continue to get warning notices from nissan usa, but local dealers avoid scheduling recalls, always saying they must "confer with the production manager to ensure parts are available", they then promise to call back but never do. i have left phone numbers and email addresses and never heard from either of them. at this point i believe they are stalling on the fixes hoping the older cars simply die and go to the graveyard first.
