AWAITING REPAIR OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, I NOTICED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT NISSAN HAD PUBLISHED A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I DROVE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO START THE REPAIR PROCESS BUT I'M TOLD THAT THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE (DESPITE PROOF THAT I'M IN THE FIRST OF THREE GROUPS LISTED FOR DEALERS). SO I'M MORE AWARE OF NISSAN'S DOCUMENTED RECALL THAN NISSAN ITSELF?
TAKATA, THIS CAR HAS A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. WE GOT THE RECALL NOTICE SOMETIME LAST YEAR IN MARCH.SINCE THE I HAVE CALL THE DEALER MANY TIME AND ALL THE CAN TELL ME IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS IN YET. I JUST CAN T BELIEVED THAT THEY TAKE MORE THAN A YEAR TO GET THESE PARTS IN.IT HAS BEEN A BIG INCONVENIENCE THAT WHEN I WANT TAKE A TRIP WITH MY FAMILY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO CAUSE OF THIS RECALL,. DON'T THINK I WILL BUY NISSAN CAR EVER AGAIN.
TAKATA RECALL IN JULY 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN ADVISING ME OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO AREAS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING TO RUPTURE AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY. I CALLED IN SEPT - THEY TOLD ME I WOULD GET ANOTHER LETTER IN OCT FOR THE FIX. I CALLED IN NOV - THEY TOLD ME I WOULD GET ANOTHER LETTER IN DEC FOR THE FIX. I CALLED IN JAN - THEY TOLD ME I WOULD GET ANOTHER LETTER IN MAR FOR THE FIX. IT'S NOW APRIL 2017, STILL NO FIX. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH HIGH LEVELS OF HUMIDITY AT TIMES. I CAN'T HAVE ANYONE IN MY CAR, AND RISK DRIVING MY CAR EVERYDAY. IT'S BEEN 10 MONTHS. WHAT IS THEIR OBLIGATION HERE?
TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS RECALL UNTIL A BARE MENTION IN JANUARY, 8 MONTHS INTO THE RECALL. SINCE REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT REQUIRES ME TO KEEP FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EMPTY, AND I WAS NOT TOLD THIS. THE RECALL HAS BEEN EXTANT FOR A YEAR, I CANNOT USE THE FRONT SEAT, AND NO REPAIR IS STILL AVAILABLE. THIS MAKES MY CAR SIGNIFICANTLY LESS USEFUL FOR MY FAMILY.

AT AROUND 72,000 MILES, BOTH FRONT SPRINGS BROKE. AS ONE OF THE ATTACHED PICTURES SHOWS, A VERY SHARP END OF ONE OF THE SPRINGS WAS LESS THAN 2 INCHES AWAY FROM A FRONT TIRE. BAD SPRINGS ON THIS CAR ARE A KNOWN SAFETY ITEM FOR NHTSA, BUT ONLY IN WHAT ARE CALLED "SALT STATES" - PLACES WHERE THEY USE SALT ON THE ROADS. THAT IS SIMPLY WHITEWASHING THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT LIVE IN A SALT STATE, NOR HAS THIS CAR EVER BEEN IN ONE IN WINTER. NHTSA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR SINCE I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE MY PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG COULD EXPLODE AND HARM OR KILL THE PASSENGER. IT THE AIRBAG GOES OFF WITH JUST A DRIVER, IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH, HARMING OR KILLING THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, ULTRA HIGH HUMIDITY, WHICH IS THE WORSE CONDITION FOR THE AIRBAGS. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A REDUCED USE VEHICLE, THE VALUE IS REDUCED BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO BUY A CAR WHEN YOU CAN'T USE PARTS OF IT, OR ANY OF IT,SAFELY. WE ARE CONSTANTLY TOLD THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, BUT MIRACULOUSLY THEY ARE STILL BUILDING CARS WITH AIRBAGS. IF THE CAR MAKERS OR OUR OWN GOVERNMENT CARED, THERE SHOULD BE A SHORT DEADLINE WHEN AFTER A CERTAIN DATE, THEY COULD NO LONGER SELL CARS UNTIL ALL DANGEROUS PROBLEM VEHICLES ARE CORRECTED . THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT THIS IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.

THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE SHORTLY AFTER 70,000 MILES. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY FAILED AT THE TIME I WAS PULLING OUR OF MY DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AT THE TIME. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE MODELS IN THE SO CALLED "SALT STATES", BUT MY STATE IS NOT INCLUDED. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY FAILURES OF THIS KIND IN NON SALT STATES. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A MANDATORY RECALL. EVENTUALLY, SOMEONE WILL DIE.
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE BUT THE PARTS SIMPLY ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND THAT THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT AND WE HAVE TO SURE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? WE HAVE TWO VEHICLES THAT NEED RECALLS DONE. HOW DO I GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?
MY HUSBAND WAS EXITING THE INDIANA TOLL ROAD ON THE RAMP TO PAY TOLLS. AS HE WAS DRIVING HIS AIR CONCENTRATOR FELL. WHEN HE REACHED FOR THE CONCENTRATOR HE RAN OFF THE RAMP, HIT A SIGN, THEN BOUNCED BACK HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY YET HE HIT HARD ENOUGH THAT THE SEATBELTS LEFT VERY CLEAR BRUISING, HIS SHOULDER WAS CAUSING PAIN AS WELL AS HIS LOWER BACK WHICH RECEIVED COMPRESSION FRACTURES FROM THE BELT. HE AS TAKEN TO THE AREA HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE AND IS IN TREATMENT AS OF TODAY. OUR CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE FORCE OF THE CRASH COMPLETELY SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD AND THE FRONT AND REAR ENDS OF THE CAR WERE BADLY DAMAGED CAUSING THE VERSA TO BE A TOTAL LOSS.
TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE WAS INITIATED MAY 23, 2016 IT IS NOW FEB 7TH 2017. WHEN WILL THE PARTS BE MADE AVAILABLE TO EFFECT THE REQUIRED REPAIR?

MOMENTS LATER, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ABRUPTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE CHEST, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,241.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE PER THE VIN NUMBER SUBMITTED PER THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MY VIN IS [XXX] AND NISSAN WAS FULLY AWARE OF HOW TO CONTACT ME DUE TO I'VE RECENTLY SATISFIED THE LOAN WHICH WAS FINANCED ON THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY FOR NISSAN. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT I WILL IN FACT BE NOTIFIED ONCE NISSAN DOES HAVE A REMEDY PER THE RECALL INFORMATION NOTED RELATED TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER HAS NO ANSWER AS TO WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO USE 100% OF MY CAR. I DID NOT PURCHASE A 3 PASSENGER CAR, I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR USE BY 4 PASSENGERS. IN MAY, I WAS TOLD EARLY SUMMER. NOW AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER THEY ARE SAYING "SOMETIME IN THE FALL OF 2016". IF I CANNOT SAFELY USE 25% OF MY CAR FOR MY FAMILY, THEN NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR OUR USE OR SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. I CALLED NISSAN AGAIN TODAY, 09/26/2016 AND STILL CANNOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO AVAILABILITY OF THE RECALL REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT IN EXTREME HUMIDITY, I LIVE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA, THE AIRBAG COULD RUPTURE AND CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO STRIKE "OCCUPANTS " IN VEHICLE RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME TO REPAIR AIRBAG. YOU CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. LIKE OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE ALREADY DOING, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE, AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER, COMPARABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. I WAS DENIED THAT COURTESY AND FEEL THAT NISSAN IS PUTTING MONEY AHEAD OF SAFETY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET SATISFACTORY RECOURSE.

MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE ROARS AND SOUNDS LIKE A HELICOPTER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE MUFFLER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ATTRIBUTE IT TO ROCK SALT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE MATERIAL USED BY THIS MANUFACTURER AND/OR THEIR VENDOR IS NOT OF GOOD QUALITY. IF NOT ADDRESSED, THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND IT MUST BE RECALLED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THIS ISSUE TO NO AVAIL.
THE SUB FRAME BUSHING NEEDS REPLACED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 ON IT. WHEN RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MOST NISSAN VERSA"S. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL????????
MY VERSA SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART, AND THERE WAS NO SMELL OF FUEL ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESTARTING PROCESS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO PEP BOYS AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE POWER SUPPLY FUSES FOR THE FUEL PUMP AS THE CAUSES. THE VEHICLE HAD 46,000 MILES EXACTLY. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, THE HAZARDS WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLE..
TAKATA RECALL. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING WHEN CAR IS ON, WHETHER I'M SITTING STILL OR DRIVING. NISSAN WANTS $120 TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. I DON'T HAVE IT, AND DON'T FEEL I SHOULD PAY IT, AS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL, BUT MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. WHAT DO I DO?
STARTING ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AGO MY WIFE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE A/C NOT WORKING PROPRTLY. THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN YOU TURN THE ALARM ON THE HORN WOULD NOT BEEP LETTING YOU KNOW IT WAS ARMED. YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR TO GO TO WORK NOTHING WORKED OR CAME ON. MY WIFE BROUGHT HER VEHICLE OVER TO JUMP START IT. AS SOON AS THE JUMPER CABLES WERE HOOKED UP THE BATTERY ON THE VERSA EXPLODED AND THERE WAS ALOT OF SMOKE. NOW THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY CANT EVEN GET IT OUT OF GEAR TO MOVE IT. EVEN IF IT GETS FIXED MY WIFE IS NOW AFFRAID TO PUT OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON, HERSELF OR ME IN IT TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE BURNT SMELL FROM UNDER THE HOOD

TAMARA RECALL NHTSA RECALL 16V-349 NISSAN DEALER WILL NOT LEND A LOANER OR RENTAL CAR. CAR CANNOT BE FIXED TILL OCTOBER 2016. DRIVER HAS NO MONEY TO RENT A CAR AND IS FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US. DEALER TALKED TO IS BERT ODGEN NISSAN MCALLEN TEXAS LOCATED ON JACKSON ROAD.
THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON MY 2011 VERSA OCCASIONALLY GOES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 3-4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS? I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT AND THEY SAID IT IS SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD TRY TO LIVE WITH SINCE IT IS SO RARE. THEY OFFERED NO SOLUTION OR A WAY FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS THAT THE POWER STEERING COULD GO OUT AT ANY TIME. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR A NISSAN PRODUCT? THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN?
I HAVE 42000 MILES ON MY CAR, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YESTERDAY MY MUFFLER STARTED RATTLING AND BEING EXTREMELY LOUD. I PARKED MY CAR AND IT WAS FINE, BUT WHEN I STARTED IT UP TO LEAVE WHERE I WAS IT WAS NOISY - VERY SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED. HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT IT, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE FLANGE BETWEEN MY MUFFLER AND THE MANIFOLD CRACKED CLEAN APART. NOT DUE TO RUST OR CORROSION AS IT IS A CLEAN BREAK. HE SAID IT APPEARED TO HIM THAT IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD WELD TO BEGIN WITH.
DUE TO POOR WELDING AT THE FLANGE MY EXHAUST PIPE HAS BECOME SEVERED AT THE FLANGE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOT TO MUCH RUST PRESENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO EXHAUST NOT GOING OUT THE TAIL PIPE
MY NISSAN HAS UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. I DRIVE IN NEW ENGLAND, ROADS ARE A BIT TOUGHER- HOWEVER MY MUFFLER IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND HANGING LOOSE FROM THE BODY OF MY CAR. MY RESONATOR PIPE SNAPPED AND I GOT A QUOTE FOR $931.75 FROM A LOCAL MEINEKE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ON A CAR THAT SHOULD STILL BE RUNNING EFFICIENTLY, I NOTICED IT WHILE DRIVING, GOT HOME AND PULLED OVER TO NOTICE THE MUFFLER WAS VERY VERY LOOSE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD SHIFTED WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ALIGN THE REAR WHEELS. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE LEANING WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.
EXHAUST SYSTEM, REAR MUFFLER, POOR WELD AT FLANGE: VIRTUALLY NO RUST OR CORROSION BUT WELD BEAD SEPARATED FROM FLANGE CAUSING MUFFLER TO SHAKE AND MOVE AROUND AND COULD POSSIBLY SEPARATE AND FALL OFF VEHICLE. ALSO, THE LOOSE JOINT CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO NOT ALL GO OUT THE TAILPIPE TIP; WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS.
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.
