8 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2002 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 02/19/2014

I took my car in for NHTSA recall 13v-136 to premier Nissan of san jose, and the dealership service rep told me they inspected but did not replace the air bag. They claimed that they could tell whether or not the airbag needed replacement by inspection and that mine didn't need replacement. I am writing to see if it is appropriate that they did not replace my air bag, since the recall notice says "dealer will replace the affected front passenger air bag inflator with a new one. " my air bag light is on, and their diagnostic test indicated a fault with the passenger air bag. They were going to charge me around $800 to change the air bag, and I refused as I don't think I should pay for a defect that is due to the manufacturer.

9 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2003 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 11/04/2013

I scheduled an appointment at tony Nissan in waipio, hawaii, oahu to fix the front passenger air bag inflator recall per the notice I was mailed. (NHTSA recall 13v-136). I was informed when I made the appointment and per the recall notice I was mailed that the repair would take less than one day. Tony Nissan informed me that recall repairs were done in the mornings only m-f, and my car would be ready for pick-up in the afternoon. When I arrived at tony Nissan, after having taken off work to do so, I was informed that the recall takes two (2) days to repair and I would have to bring my car back during another weekday, hence take off another day of work. I was also told I needed 4 new tires ($810) and a new battery ($172). I never requested those repairs and was pressured by the tony Nissan representative to make an immediate decision as they did not have my tires on-site and would have to order them. A red flag immediately went off, I told them I wanted to return and pick my car up and asked them when they would be done "looking at my airbag" to see if I needed the recall repair. I was told they had no idea and I would have to wait until they called me. This was after I was told by a rep when the service appointment was made that recall repairs were only done in the mornings and my car would be ready no later than early afternoon. I cancelled the appointment. My recall repair has yet to be repaired. I lost a day of work for nothing, and apparently will need to lose 2 more work days in order to have the repair completed. I am going to try to arrange the appointment at the only other Nissan dealership on the island and hope they will be professional.
