Takata recall: local Nissan dealership (sandy sansing Nissan, pensacola florida) was contacted by us several times over the past 4 months, requesting information on this recall. We were told the part to repair the airbag is not available and won't be until spring 2018. When I called again today, I was told the same thing, but also told by the Nissan serviceman, "this is a voluntary recall by Nissan, done out of an abundance of caution. Nothing to worry about. " I asked him if it was the airbag recall that had been in the press for the past few years for takata and he said, "no. This is a different part - just replacing the inflators and isn't anything to worry about. There is no threat to life or well being of drivers or passengers. " I asked if he would call me when the parts are available and he said, "no, but you can call me every few weeks to see if the parts are in. " I looked up the recall on the NHTSA website and it is, indeed the takata recall that people have died and/or been seriously injured from the airbags being faulty. This is my 18 year old son's car. I'm really ticked off and concerned.
Takata recall. Nissan sent a notice months ago saying they would notify us when they had parts on the inflator/airbag repair. Until then we were not to use the passenger front seat. They have not given us one single update! it has been over a year and we have heard nothing! there is no excuse for such customer treatment. I called Nissan today after several transfers and was told that maybe they would have some parts during the first quarter of 2017. Shouldn't our government fine these car companies? where is our congress and senators on these types of safety issues? hiding in the weeds? collecting their fat salaries? they are laying it all off on takata. . . However, takata is one of Nissan's suppliers. Why isn't Nissan held accountable and required to recall the cars and pay the customers for this mess? (btw--this isn't the first safety recall of the Versa).
Takata recall on November 9th I brought my Versa into the dealer and they performed the recall, replacing the passenger airbag. However, some of the things that they said and did made me suspicious that perhaps they did not actually perform the work or replace the old airbag. Sometime in early 2016 I received a letter from Nissan informing me of the passenger airbag recall and telling me not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat, and to wait until I got a second letter when the part was available. In early November, I had already been waiting for many months for this second letter from Nissan, but the letter never came and still has not come. So I called my dealer on November 8th to see if perhaps the second letter had been lost in the mail, and if the part was now available. The dealer said yes, the new inflator just came in, and to bring my vehicle in, which I did first thing the next morning. They called an hour later to say they could not find the part. Then they later said they found it. Then they performed the work in about an hour or less. It seemed too fast. As I was driving away, I realized that I only had their word for it that they had actually performed the work. So I called the Nissan headquarters and got to speak to their consumer affairs department. My regional case manager at Nissan consumer affairs investigated by calling my dealer and then called me back. He told me that the dealer said they performed an "interim repair" on my vehicle and that I will be notified when the permanent replacement part becomes available! he said the new airbag that I received was another takata airbag that had never been exposed to humidity. I want to know what airbag is actually in my car now. I had my local mechanic open up the compartment and I photograped the "new" airbag now in my car. I photographed the serial number.
Takata inflators - I received a recall notification sometime during mid summer 2016, for NHTSA recall 16v-349 from Nissan north american inc. I was informed of the defect of the front passenger air bag inflators. The recall notification letter indicated that Nissan was "awaiting parts to remedy the affected vehicles". I was to be sent a second letter when parts were available and arrange to take the vehicle to a Nissan dealer for repairs. During the beginning of September 2016 my vehicle was at the dealer for other repairs and we inquired as to when they thought parts might be available. We were told the were supposed to be available any time and they would have to order them once they were available. Today I contacted Nissan north America at the phone number listed on the original and only recall notice I received. I was told that repairs should already have been made to my vehicle, to contact the dealer and if they were not able to schedule and make repairs to contact them again. I called the dealer, Nissan of mckinney (texas) and was put on hold to see if they could schedule my vehicle for repairs, and came back and immediately scheduled repairs for next week. I find it appalling that a safety recall, which could result in the death of an individual, was so poorly executed by both Nissan north America, who failed to send out the second letter the original notification indicated would be sent, and the dealer who so deftly ignored any responsibility on following through on even contacting us about parts, when we had queried them so recently. We bought the 2007 Versa new and it is still registered in the same names, at the same address and even maintenance and repairs are completed at the same selling dealer. I consider this safety recall campaign a completely failure on the parts of both Nissan north american and mckinney Nissan.
2007 Nissan Versa. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair front passenger air bag inflator recall notice. Updated 04/12/2017.
Takata recall 16v-349: doj case number 16-20810, u. S. District court, eastern district of michigan. I see from the plea agreement that u. S. Government received its money, the clerk of court in michigan received its $400. 00. The vehicle manufacturers also received their cut. However, the folks that own affected vehicles that cannot accommodate front passenger until replacement of inflator is made are out of luck. Nothing is being done for them. All we receive is run around; I have not been able to use front passenger seat since being notified by recall notice date 07/25/2016. Perhaps someone in u. S. Government can put another fire under takata's butt to get these replacements produced and get dealers off their duffs to replace the faulty parts. This vehicle must be driven regularly to transport grandchildren.

Takata recall: this is third time airbag inflator light goes on. Had recall repaired a yr ago at clermont, FL dealer. After repair was done noticed horn, air conditioner and defrost buttons not working on panel. I immediately pointed it out to dealer. They fixed air conditioner button only, said the other two issues were not there problem. I spoke to warrant dept that day at the dealership to no avail dept. Stated car was out of warranty. If I wanted it fixed I had to pay. Dealership said it was not their problem I had to pay and they would gladly give me an estimate. Horn and other buttons on panel were all working properly until air bag was fixed that day. I called Nissan warranty dept again. Dept said they could not help because it was a dealership issue. I took vehicle to another dealership in leesburg, FL 3 months ago. They stated there was a recall on airbag I did not know about. They fixed problem. 2 months later airbag inflator light goes on again. I went to the Nissan dealer in clermont and they stated there was no recall on file. They would contact me when they recieved information about it. I tried to explain to manager that I spoke to the warranty dept and they stated I needed to bring vehicle in to have this issue fixed right away. Again manager said there was nothing they could do at the time I would have to wait to receive information about recall. I really need help regarding the issues at hand. Horn is not working due to the airbag malfunction. I drive this vehicle everyday and I am very scared sumthing might happen due to these issues and recall.
