2011 Nissan Versa complaints

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL 17V-449 I WOULD LIKE MY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF ASAP AS I AM CONCERNED WITH SAFETY. I WAS TOLD WHEN I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE, THAT MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPAIR MY AT RISK AIRBAGS, UNTIL THE SPRING. THEY ALSO HAVE RUN OUT OF LOANER CARS AVAILABLE. I JUST FIND THIS WORRISOME, THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR, THAT COULD HAVE A DEFECT, FOR THIS LONG OF A TIME.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICES AFTER CALLING LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS TO COORDINATE THE REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERS THAT THE RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF PARTS WILL NOT BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. I WAS TOLD THE SAME BY THEIR CORPORATE OFFICES. I EXPLAINED THAT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A LOANER. I WAS TOLD BY ALL OF MY LOCAL DEALERS THAT MY REQUEST IS NOT FEASIBLE AS THEIR LOANER VEHICLES ARE LIMITED AND INTENDED FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I INFORMED THEM THAT IT WAS THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE WHO OFFERED IT AS A SOLUTION, BUT THEY SAID NO. WHEN ICALLED THEIR CORPORATE OFFICES TO INQUIRE AS TO WHY I WAS ADVISED TO REQUEST A LOANER IN THE MEANTIME, THEY ASKED ME TO BE PATIENT AND WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE READY TO REPLACE THE PARTS. AGAIN, I ASKED WHY THE AFOREMENTIONED SOLUTION WAS INITIALLY OFFERED IF IT WASN'T AN OPTION. I WAS MET WITH THE SAME STATEMENT AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT TO DATE, THERE HAVE BEEN NO INCIDENTS REPORTED INVOLVING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I ASKED, IF THAT'S THE CASE, HOW WAS YOUR COMPANY MADE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND I WASN'T GIVEN AN ANSWER. THEY REPEATED THEMSELVES AND OFFERED NO VIABLE SOLUTION. AT THE MOMENT, I NEED THE VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM WORK AND I PRAY THAT I DON'T GET INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN RECEIVING SOLICITED CALLS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT'S N

AFTER RECEIVING BY MAIL NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL, I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALER TRYING TO GET A RENTAL CAR. FIRST ATTEMPT AN ASSOCIATE APPROACHED ME "TRYING TO MAKE HER SELL"... I PRESENTED MY NOTIFICATION AND IMMEDIATLY SHE CHANGED HER APPROACH. SHE TOLD ME IT WAS TOO LATE AND THAT I NEED IT TO COME BACK. I WENT BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND EARLIER, AT 04:00PM AS SHE REQUESTED. AGAIN, NO ONE WAS ABLE TO HELPED ME GETTING A RENTAL OR SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE. I REQUESTED FOR THEM TO CHECK WITH OTHER NISSAN DEALERS, BUT I JUST GOT A "NO" FOR AN ANSWER: "I AM BUSY, I HAVE TOO MUCH LOAD WORK... ETC" I CALLED MYSELFT TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL ME BACK IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS, WHEN THEY HAVE AN AVAILABLE RENTAL CAR FOR ME.... UNTIL NOW THAT DEALER HAVEN'T CALL ME YET. I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALER, AND AT THIS POINT I WAS ALL CONCERNED DUE TO MY NEW JOB COMMUTE. FINALLY I FOUND AN ASSOCIATE WILLING TO HELP, BUT I HAVE TO PAID DEPOSIT ($50.00) FOR THE RENTAL CAR AND INCREASED MY INSURANCE PAYMENTS UP $130 MONTHLY PREMIUM (UPDATED TO FULL COVERAGE EVEN AFTER I PAID OFF MY CAR -NISSAN VERSA 2011-) ANY DEALER ASSOCIATE SHOWED CORNCEN FOR THE SAFETY RECALL NOR FOR ANY POSSIBLE FATAL ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL I AM BEING FORCED TO TAKE MY CAR OFF THE ROAD AND EITHER GET A RENTAL OR PURCHASE A NEW CAR. THE DEALER SHIP WILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS UNTIL LATE SPRING OF 2018. THAT MEANS MY CAR WILL BE OFF THE ROAD FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. RECALL #17V-449

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED AN INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION-SAFETY RECALL FROM NISSAN RE: THE AIRBAG RECALL. THAT NOTIFICATION STATES THAT NISSAN ANTICIPATES THE REPLACEMENT PART(S) TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING OF 2018 AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR A SECOND NOTICE WHEN THE PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY AREN'T EVEN STARTING A PARTS WAITING LIST OR SCHEDULING APPTS UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2018 AND THAT NO ALTERNATIVE PARTS (I.E. NEW STEERING WHEEL WITH OUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG) WERE AVAILABLE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I USE IT TO TRANSPORT MY SPECIAL NEEDS TODDLER (4 ADA DIAGNOSES) TO HER SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOL. I'VE BEEN RENTING A CAR OR HITCHING A RIDE TO PROVIDE HER TRANSPORTATION. SHE ALREADY HAS MULTIPLE DISABILITIES AND WE SHOULDN'T BE LEFT NO OPTION OTHER THAN TO RUN THE RISK OF ADDITIONAL INJURY TO HER. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND HAVE HAD TO CUT OUR FOOD BUDGET IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL TO GET HER TO SPECIAL SCHOOL. WAITING UNTIL SPRING OF 2018 TO START A PART(S) AND SERVICE WAITING LIST IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'VE JUST RECEIVED THE NOTICE RE: CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY, SO WE MISSED THE PPIC DEADLINE BEFORE WE KNEW THERE WAS ONE. NOW THE RESTITUTION FUND DEADLINE IS THE END OF NOV BUT THOSE CLAIM FORMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE TKRESTRUCTURING.COM WEBSITE. THERE HAS TO BE A LEGAL WAY, FOR TAKATA TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR OR TEMP REPLACEMENT SO OUR FAMILY IS SACRIFICING BASIC NEEDS IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET HER SAFELY TO SCHOOL AND WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR AIRBAG ON DRIVER'S SIDE. THE NEW AIRBAG WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. THE NISSAN DEALER RECOMMENDS THAT I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND HIRE A CAR FROM ENTERPRISE. THE LOAN CAR WOULD BE FREE, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE. THE COST OF THAT WOULD BE $28 PER DAY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I CANNOT PAY THAT AMOUNT. WHAT DO I DO? DO I RISK INJURY BY DRIVING THE CAR? WHAT IS THE ACTUAL RISK? NOBODY CAN TELL ME.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V449000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (KINGS NISSAN, BROOKLYN, NY, 718-934-3300) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED ANTWERPEN NISSAN -SECURITY (BALTIMORE, MD), BUT WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT SERVE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL UNTIL MARCH OF NEXT YEAR. MEANWHILE, I AM DRIVING MY KIDS IN THIS CAR EVERY DAY, WHICH IS VERY RISKY IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED!

DROVE FOR SEVERAL YEARS HAVING NO IDEA MY LIFE (AND FAMILY/FRIENDS) WAS AT RISK. FAR, FAR WORSE THAN THAT...DURING 2016-2017 I DROVE THE VEHICLE WHILE PREGNANT!!!!! FOLLOWING THAT IN 2017, I DROVE WITH MY NEWBORN CHILD IN THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND!!!! I CANNOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE LEVEL OF ANXIETY AND HORROR I FEEL HAVING LEARNED OF THIS RECALL AFTER MY CHILD WAS BORN. I AM IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK AT THE THOUGHT OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED!!! ALTHOUGH THE DEALER HAS GIVEN ME A LOANER FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THE PART IS REPLACED, I HAVE NO WHERE TO HOUSE MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE A GARAGE OR PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR IS PARKED ON A PUBLIC STREET FOR WHAT COULD BE MAYBE SIX MONTHS?! THIS INCLUDES BEING PARKED OVER WINTERTIME. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAMAGE TO THE MONETARY AND FUNCTIONAL VALUE OF MY VEHICLE AS IT SITS SEEMINGLY ENDLESSLY. MOREOVER, I AM MUCH TOO FRIGHTENED TO EVEN CONSIDER GETTING INTO THE CAR TO START THE ENGINE OR MOVE IT AROUND DURING THIS PERIOD. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE STARTED AND THE CAR WILL NEED TO BE MOVED. BUT, THAT IS A TRUE QUANDARY.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS RECENTLY NOTIFIED THAT MY 2011 NISSAN VERSA HAS A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT UNTIL SPRING OF 2018 WHEN PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. THE ONLY OPTION THEY GAVE ME WAS A LOANER VEHICLE THAT I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BRING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY MONTH TO RENEW AND I WOULD NOT BE COMPENSATED FOR MY TIME AND INCONVENIENCE IN HAVING TO REPEATEDLY DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT WANT A LOANER VEHICLE FOR MANY REASONS, IF THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT THEY THEY SHOULD HAVE TO BUY IT BACK BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO SO. I AM NOW FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, RISKING INJURY AND DEATH ON A DAILY BASIS SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR.

NISSAN RECALL -I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE INITIAL AIR BAG RECALL ON 5/23/17 RECALL #16V-349. THEY NOTIFIED ME THIS WEEK OF THE RECENT ISSUE #17V-449, BUT THEY'RE NOT OFFERING TO REMEDY IT UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. DOES THAT QUALIFY AS THE "TIMELY MANNER" STATED ON THIS SITE? OR WOULD I POSSIBLY HAVE GROUND TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT AND TURN THE VEHICLE IN? I WORRY ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR THAT LONG, AND QUESTIONED WHETHER THAT FELL UNDER THE LAWS GUIDELINES. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME LAST YEAR WHEN THE FIRST RECALL HAPPENED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

OBVIOUSLY NO ONE IN THIS ORGANIZATION READS PEOPLES LETTERS. I HAVE NOT REQUESTED TO PURCHASE A VERSA, I ALREADY OWN A VERSA THAT FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR AN EXPLODING AIRBAG THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY, AND THAT NISSAN HOPES TO GET IT FIXED SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. I WAS NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR A YEAR BECAUSE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, SO PASSENGERS WERE RELEGATED TO THE BACK SEAT. . NOW IT'S THE DRIVERS AIRBAG. WILL NISSAN RECOMMEND DRIVING FROM THE BACK SEAT? MY LETTER SAID I WAS INTERESTED IN THE LOANER CAR MENTIONED IN THE NEWEST RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK WITH ME IN REGARDS TO THAT MATTER, PERHAPS YOU COULD DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE WHO MAY. THIS IS THE LETTER I SENT TO NISSAN AFTER WHICH I WAS FLOODED WITH CALLS AND EMAILS BECAUSE I SHOWED INTEREST IN PURCHASING A VERSA. THE RECALL SAID SPRING OF 2018 TO REPAIR, I'M IN FLORIDA, THE CAPITOL OF HIGH HUMIDITY. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS A YEAR FROM THE PROMISED FIX DATE, AND I CANNOT DRIVE AROUND WAITING FOR MY STEERING WHEEL TO EXPLODE. IF THEY CAN BUILD NEW CARS, THEY HAVE AIRBAGS AVAILABLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO PRESSURE THEM TO GET THIS DONE OR BUY THESE VEHICLES BACK. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

"TAKATA RECALL": (NHTSA RECALL 17V-449)THE REFERENCED RECALL NOTICE DATES JULY 21, 2017 WHICH IN PART STARTES "....MAY RESULT....OR DEATH". THE UNDATED INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION RECEIVED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO STATES NISSAN IS AWAITING PARTS TO REMEDY BY SPRING 2018. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS (!) FROM THIS DATE AND BARRING ANYTHING ELSE MY CAR MAY ONLY THEN BE SAFE AGAIN FOR ME AS DRIVER (SENIOR CITIZEN) . I AM NOT OK WITH THE TIME FRAME, ARE YOU?

RECENTLY, I EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2011 NISSAN VERSA. IT WAS A LEAK THROUGH THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AND INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT DUE TO DEFECTIVE, ARCING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS. I REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY JUST "BLEW ME OFF". THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY SO I WAS SHOCKED BY THEIR LACK OF CONCERN. I AM A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WITH CREDIBILITY AND CREDENTIALS TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THIS HAZARD. ATTACHED IS SOME OF MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH NISSAN AS FURTHER DETAILS. PLEASE REVIEW AND CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL ON AUGUST 10TH FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AND CALLED MY DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 12TH (FERMAN NISSAN IN TAMPA, FL) EXPRESSING MY CONCERN ABOUT THE RECALL AND ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT REPAIRS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, NOR DID THEY EXPECT THEM TO BECOME AVAILABLE UNTIL MID 2018. I EXPRESSED MY DISCOMFORT AT DRIVING AROUND IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL VEHICLE AND REQUESTED A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR WAS REPAIRED. I WAS DENIED A LOANER VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT CORPORATE ABOUT IT. I DID, AND RECEIVED AN EMAIL ON AUGUST 22ND DENYING ME A LOANER VEHICLE, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE EVERY DAY, BUT HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ,WHEN A PERSON DIMS THEIR HEADLIGHTS THE DIMMER WILL CAUSE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN COMPLETELY OFF . POSING A DANGER TO EVERYONE IN THE CAR!! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2012 AND IS CONTINUING.

ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2016, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR'S STEERING VIOLENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT IT, THE CAR THEN TURNED ALL OF THE WAY TO THE LEFT, CAUSING THE CAR TO ROLL OVER SEVERAL TIMES. ALTHOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, THE PRE-TENSIONERS DIDN'T FIRE TO KEEP ME FROM MOVING AROUND AND HITTING MY HEAD. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF EITHER, NOT EVEN THE ONES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN WHERE THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. AFTERWARDS, I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND A CHIROPRACTOR BECAUSE I HURT MY BACK, NECK AND MY HEAD. I ALSO GOT A LAWYER BECAUSE I HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING PROBLEM JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. NISSAN, TAKATA, TKH AND MY LAWYER INSPECTED THE CAR IN MARCH AND FOUND THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF, THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS DIDN'T ACTIVATE, THE CAR'S VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR HAD A FAULT CODE, THE CAR'S INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAD A FAULT CODE AND NISSAN'S ENGINEER THAT WAS THERE WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS THE POWER STEERING MODULE WITH HIS MACHINE. NEXT, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAN SHUT DOWN DUE TO EXCESSIVE STEERING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THAT IS BAD BECAUSE NISSAN HAD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAID THAT THE CAR CAN PULL TO ONE SIDE EVEN WHEN ALIGNED BASED ON NISSAN'S REQUIREMENTS. THIS MEANS THAT THE REASON PEOPLE HAVE HAD STEERING PROBLEMS IS BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S DESIGN, NISSAN'S ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS AND THE CAR NEEDING TO BE ALIGNED DIFFERENTLY. ALSO THE INTAKE AIR TEMPERAT

PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED BUT AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL BLINKING. DEALER SAYS PROBLEM IS NOW WITH DRIVER SIDE. DEALER SAYS WE MUST PAY TO HAVE IT ANALYZED AND THEN PAY FOR WHAT EVER IS WRONG WITH IT. TO ME AN AIRBAG IS AN AIRBAG NO MATTER WHAT SIDE. TV NEWS SHOWS DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS BLOWING UP. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING MY VERSA LIKE ALWAYS GETTING BACK HOME AND THEN THE AIR BAG SIGNAL APPEAR ON MY DASH WITHOUT ANY REASON

STEERING WHEEL WOULD SNAP BACK FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE MORNING I HEARD A LOUD SNAP ON THE CONTROL ARM AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A GRINDING STOP.

POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING IS LOST MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHEEL. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE STARTING THE CAR AND HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO HELP, HOWEVER WHILE DRIVING THIS ISN'T ALWAYS POSSIBLE.

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A TAKATA RECALL. HOWEVER, I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECAL BACK IN SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER OF 2016. IT IS NOW MAY 2017. SHOULDN'T THERE HAVE BEEN A REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BY NOW?
