The contact owned a 2008 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that he had been receiving recall notifications of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22E066000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list because he no longer owns the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted.

I had not driven the car prior to noticing the air passenger light blinking and continuing to stay on. This is occurring whether someone is in the seat or not. Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Traffic stopped suddenly when I hit my brakes they failed to work and the airbags didn’t work either so I ended up hitting my head on the roof of the car when I ran into the truck that suddenly stopped in front of me at speed of about 50mph. I don’t feel good but have no way to get medical attention right now. And was just released from having some head trauma the day before the accident. My car was totaled in the accident so I don’t need additional recall information on it, and no insurance to fix it so now I don’t have any way to get a new car.

I have a recall for airbag, i made appointment with dealership. on August 16 2023, went to the appointment and it took 4h to replace and they gave me a report that its been fixed, they replaced both driver and passenger side airbag, and the airbag light is off (attached picture of report) when i took the car i noticed the airbag light is still on. i went back and told them the issue and they retook the car for inspection. i waited another 1h and they brought me an invoice that there is a cable from airbag to the car, this needs to be replaced and it cost 400$ without tax and without labor. my complain is that they pretended to replace and fix the airbag and they made sure there is no light on. upon taking the car i noticed it wasn't true. now they demand money for repair. i believe the dealership is not going to remedy the recall without charging

The contact owned a 2008 Nissan Versa. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 17V449000 (Air bags) and 16V349000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list since he no longer owns the vehicle. The local dealer and the manufacturer were contacted.

I park the Nissa Versa and I smell an over heating odor a lightly dense smoke appears over the hood. A thought comes to mind, “I just went to Jiffy Lube last week.” Suddenly two people are running towards yelling, “Fire, get out of the car.” I couldn’t believe it I was at a loss for words I couldn’t move until they literally opened the door. I started recording it. It’s insane I loved that car, it was payed off and it still looked nice. -it gets worse They tow the car to North Shore Towing. I report it to my insurance and the appraiser that attempted to see the car was not allowed access because I didn’t sign a release form so I go to the towing place and sign the release form. The appraiser goes for the second time and is refused entrance. Weeks went by so I call the insurance which informs me of the previous two failed entries to North Shore Towing. I ask the staff male on the phone why he didn’t allow the insurance agent entry to inspect vehicle I had signed the release form. The staff male literally laughs at me on over the phone. You want to know what component? Inspection? And today my friend mentions his car has been recalled and light bulb went on and here I am asking for your help. I have videos witnesses Also I have proof that of the signed document to release the car to insurance agent

About 6 months ago my driver air bag light came on. We toLd shortly after that their is a recall on that exact thing I have been but still get no. I am worried as it now is flashing instead of steady

I found a piece of a broken coil spring in my driveway (where multiple cars are parked) in NJ. A quick visual inspection of all the vehicles typically parked near that area did not show any sitting uneven or any obvious evidence of any with problems. A few weeks later, after driving approx 1000 miles on my nissan, I noticed that the front suspension seemed shorter and quicker to bottom-out. This was obvious when rolling over speed humps. Another, more in-depth inspection of the front springs revealed an unseated spring on the left front. The spring appears to have slipped off or through the bottom cup and is not centered on the strut. After looking the vehicle up on NHTSA site this appears to be related to Manufacturer Recall NumberPM565. The NJ vehicle is currently in NC. I plan to take it to a Nissan dealer to have the recall work performed.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRING WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED COUNTY LINE NISSAN NORTH (522 WINSTED RD, TORRINGTON, CT 06790, (860) 482-5555) AND WAS INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED WITHOUT CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

TODAY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, CAR SLID AND ROLLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT 100% AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT THEY DID NOT. CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE IS RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR AIRBAGS BUT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE DATABASE.

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING / AIR BAGS RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED

OUTER DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE CAME OFF.DEALER FIXED IT AND I PAID FOR REPAIR. HANDLE CAME ODD 4 DAYS LATER.I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IS BROKEN AND THE ADDITIONAL CHARGE WOULD BE 350.00. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I FIRST WENT TO DEALER. I AM REQUESTING THE HANDLE BE REPLACED BY DEALER NO CHARGE SINCE IT WAS NOT PROPERLY REPAIRED WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT IN.THAT PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN THEY INITIALLY SO FIXED IT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR

NO SENSE QUE PASO PERO UN DIA NO ME ENCENDIO Y LET ENCONTRARON AGUA AL MOTOR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM FELL OUT VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS PRESUMABLY RUST/CORROSION WHILE PULLING OUT THE DRIVEWAY, THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM FRACTURED AND FELL OUT. VEHICLE REPAIRED BY AN UNKNOWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. VEHICLE NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 160,476.

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALLED SPRINGS, THEY WERE FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG, IT WAS FIXED. THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE AIRBAG AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR AND IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS TO FIX IT. HE SAID THE CAR WAS WORTH LESS THAN THE FIX WOULD COST.

THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW THE CORRECT GAS LEVEL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. EVERY DAY I START THE CAR THE GAS GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE, SO I RESTART THE CAR AND THEN THE GAS GAUGE WILL MOVE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS CORRECTLY SHOWING THE CORRECT GAS LEVEL.

VEHICLE IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS OUT! I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY CAR IT FLAT OUT DID NOT START NO ISSUES OR WARNING PRIOR TO IT NOT STARTING. I WAS STRANDED AT NIGHT WITH NO TRANSPORTATION.

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.
