TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE OUT SINCE MAY OF 2015. IT IS NOW NOV 2017, 18 MONTHS AFTER THE NOTICE, AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. 19 MONTHS FOR A PARTS SHORTAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WHAT CAN I DO, ACTIVELY, TO GET MY VEHICLE'S DEFECT REPAIRED? THE WAITING GAME, IN MY OPINION, IS MERELY A STRATEGY TO DELAY AND HOPE THE ISSUE GOES AWAY. IN THE MEANTIME, MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH.
TAKATA RECALL (NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK) AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF IN CAR. THIS RELATES TO VEHICLE SAFETY FOR ANY PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT OF CAR IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER ONCE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD RECENTLY I NEED THE MAJOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AGAIN. SOMETIMES AN UNUSUAL SMELL COMES FROM ENGINE WHEN I START CAR.

SO I WAS GIVEN AT RENTAL CAR SINCE THEY WERE OUT OF LOANER CARS AT FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF RALEIGH, NC. WHICH IS GOOD. TWO WEEKS AGO I GOT A CALL FROM THE PARTS DEPT. OF FRED ANDERSON STATING THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG PART IS IN AND I SHOULD COME FOR A REPAIR, SO I ASKED IF THEY HAD AN OFFICIAL LETTER FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, BECAUSE I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER NOTIFYING ME OF THE PART BEING AVAILABLE. I ASKED HIM WHAT BRAND AND HE (ALEX) SAID TAKATA AND IT WAS A LIMITED SUPPLY. NOW THAT COMPANY AND ALL ITS HOLDINGS HAVE GONE BANKRUPT. I SAID I WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THEN I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEIR INTERNET SALES PERSON CHAD SUSAN STATING THAT I SHOULD BRING MY CAR IN AND TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR, SINCE THE RECALL PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018, THEY WOULD TAKE MY CAR NOW IF I WANTED TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR. HMMMM SAME DEALERSHIP. THEN I GOT A CALL FROM LAUREN FROM SERVICE STATING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL PART IS IN.

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE A NISSAN VERSA 2008 AND WE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. WE JUST MOVED TO NEW JERSEY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. MY BOYFRIEND DANIIL WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN EDISON AND THEY REFUSED HIM A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE HE IS NOT 21 YEARS OLD. WE ARE 20. I THOUGHT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, THEY CAN'T JUST REFUSE IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO DO WITH OUR SAFETY? THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ME AND MY BOYFRIEND DROVE TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN IN HAMILTON, NJ. A LADY NAMED MCKAYLA DID THE PAPERWORK FOR US, EVERYTHING WAS SET AND THEN SHE SAID "OH WAIT YOU'RE NOT 21 YET, I CAN'T LOAN YOU A CAR." SHE SAID TO CALL THE SERVICE ASSIST LINE TO FURTHER ASSIST US. SO WE CALLED THE LINE, AND TURNS OUT THE GUY THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO DOESN'T WORK ON THE WEEKENDS. SO IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD'VE WENT OFF DURING THE WEEKEND AND WE DIED, THEN WHAT? I CALLED MCKAYLA ON MONDAY AND SHE TOLD US IF WE COULD FIND A COMPANY THAT WOULD RENT US THE CAR, NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR IT. SO I CALLED HERTZ IN NEW YORK SINCE THEIR LEGAL AGE TO RENT A CAR IS 18, AND THEY AGREED TO RENT US A CAR BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF STATE. IF NISSAN SCREWED UP WITH THESE RECALLS, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND PAY THE NECESSARY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. WE WENT BACK TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WENT TO THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE TO SPEAK TO HIM. HE SAID THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. LAST TIME
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.

I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER EMPIRE NISSAN ONTARIO, CA (909) 906-7424. I WAS THE PARTS WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. I ASKED SHOULD I STILL BE DRIVING MY CAR, IS IT SAFE?

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECALL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDE DRIVING CAR TO DEALER SO THEY CAN SEE IT. THIS SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE SINCE THE AIRBAGS CAN KILL PEOPLE.
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS AND THAT THEY WERE ONLY GETTING ONE OR TWO IN A MONTH FROM NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN JUNE OR JULY BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THEY WERE EXPECTING REGULAR SHIPMENTS OF THE PART. I CALLED DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW I'VE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PARTS UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. I'M VERY CONCERNED AND CONFUSED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND EVERY MAILING I RECEIVE SAYS HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN I'M TOLD THAT THERE ISN'T A POSSIBILITY TO FIX IT UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR?!?!
TAKATA RECALL BEGINNING OF OCTOBER, I WENT TO NISSAN WORKSHOP AND NO AIRBAG WAS AVAILABLE. THEY SHOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN PART WILL BE ON SITE. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE? CAN TAKAKA PRODUCE NEW PARTS? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE MY AIRBAG CHANGED? THANK YOU FOR SUPPORT SINCERELY

TAKATA RECALL MY 18 YEAR DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. WE BROUGHT IT O THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A MINIMUM OF 8 MONTHS VERY THE DEFECT TO BE CORRECTED. A "LOANER CAR" WAS GIVEN TO US. THE PROBLEM IS MY DAUGHTER IS 18 AND THE DEALER WON'T LET HER DRIVE THE LOANER. SHE IS A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT AND WORKS 2 JOBS. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT SHE HAS A CAR. IF IT WAS ONLY GOING TO TAKE A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WE WOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER. 8 MONTHS OR VERY POSSIBLY LONGER IS WAY TO LONG AND IS GOING TO PUT AN UNDUE BURDEN TO OUR FAMILY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN CORP. THEY HAVEN'T YET GIVEN ME A SOLUTION TO THIS DILEMMA. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT A WRONG CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. I'M ASKING YOU AS A TAX PAYER TO PLEASE STEP IN AND MEDIATE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD MAKE ME "WHOLE". MYSELF NOR MY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ADDED STRESS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE MY DAUGHTER'S CAR OR AT THE VERY LEAST BUY THIS CAR BACK FROM ME.

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK AUTO TO DEALER FOR RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER COMPLETION AND OIL CHANGE DEALER TELLS ME ABOUT A RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION YET. DEALER SUGGESTS WE PARK THE AUTO AND NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL PARTS TO REPAIR ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH WILL BE APRIL OF 2018. THAT IS 7 MONTHS! WILL GIVE US A "NEW" RENTAL VEHICLE EVERY 30 DAYS, BUT WE HAVE TO FURNISH INSURANCE COVERAGE ON THE VEHICLE. FOR WORK I PARK IN A GARAGE, AND SCRATCHES AND OCCASIONALLY DINGS HAPPEN. THIS WOULD BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR ME, BUT THEY ARE EXPLAINING THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR. I HAVE A $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A VERY EXPENSIVE SOLUTION. WHY WOULD TAKATA NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE? WHY SHOULD I ASSUME SUCH LIABILITY AND POSSIBLY EXPENSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO HAYS NISSAN, MADISON, TENNESSEE. UPDATED 11/6/2017*JS
TAKATA RECALL - OUR 2008 NISSAN VERSA HAD A RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED IN MARCH 2017, STATING "DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT" DUE TO METAL SHRAPNEL POTENTIALLY STRIKING DRIVER OR PASSENGERS AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT ALSO STATED "NISSAN ANTICIPATES PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VERSA BY THE END OF APRIL 2017". SINCE THEN, I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NEW UPDATES OR NOTICE FROM NISSAN. IN AUGUST 2017, I PHONED NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG ALSO HAD A RECALL FOR SIMILAR FATAL RISK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO A FORM OF COMPENSATION SINCE THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. AFTER SETTING ME UP WITH A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP (CAMPBELL NISSAN OF EDMONDS), I WOULD FIND OUT THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS A PREREQUISITE TO GET SETUP WITH ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. THIS SEEMED TO BE FLAWED PLAN, CONSIDERING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG POSED A FATAL RISK. ALONG WITH THAT, BECAUSE THE RENTAL CAR WOULD REQUIRE ME TO ADD INSURANCE NEW COVERAGES, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ANY ADDITIONAL INSURANCE COST I HAD TO ASSUME FOR THEIR RENTAL LOANER VEHICLE. THE TAKATA AIRBAGS PARTS STILL DO NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED DATE. WITH THE LACK OF NOTICE (PHONE CALL, EMAIL, LETTER) OUTSIDE OF THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO MY WIFE AND I DUE TO THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND OWNERSHIP ON NISSAN'S PART. NOT ONLY
2008 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT COIL SPRING AND STRUTS DAMAGES DUE TO CORROSION.

BOTH OF THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS AND STRUTS BROKE DUE TO CORROSION. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. SINCE THE PARTS USED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT REPLACED WITH NISSAN PARTS, THE RECALL COULD NOT BE CLOSED. THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED HAVING THE PARTS REPLACED WITH NISSAN PARTS. DOING THIS, THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO INCUR THE EXPENSES OF THE STRUTS BEING REPLACED SINCE, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE SPRINGS. UPDATED 08/23/2017*JS

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
