Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2008 Nissan Versa

I took the car in for the recalled springs, they were fixed. I took the car in for the replacement air bag, it was fixed. Then the light came on on the airbag again and the dealership said it was a passenger side airbag sensor and it would cost thousands to fix it. He said the car was worth less than the fix would cost.

"takata recall" at the end of September 2017, I received a letter from Nissan north America stating my driver side airbag is on a recall list and that parts would be available spring 2018 and I would get a second letter when the parts are available. 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. So I called Nissan north America consumer affairs on 11/10/17 ans spoke to bridgette and she said the recall part is not in and was not aware of any limited supply of airbags for the driver side recall. She said she would open a claim and a claim rep,. Would call from a 615 number. So I got a call from jacco from Nissan north America claims who stated that he spoke to the service manager and service director and they had a limited supply of the airbags. So I asked jacco to send me a letter or an email stating that they indeed have a limited supply of airbags for the recall part and he said he could not do that. This is alarming!!!!!! even if takata!.

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.

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 that, they have setup a very poor system for helping consumer's transition to their offering of a rental vehicle. Attached are the original letter I received as well as a "campaign vehicle storage agreement" that Nissan requested I sign, even though it suggested I was ok to drive the vehicle to and from the dealership before repair.

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? at that time the dealer told me to call Nissan north America headquarter, there was nothing he do or say about my car and the recall. I tried several time to call the headquarters and I have been put on hold for long period of time to where I had to hang up. I still have no answer on is it safe for my family or myself to be driving our car? thank you jacqueline a dunn.

Takata recall . Have waited 8 months for recall repair with no date in sight. They suggest I either wait for repair which could be years away or to get another car. I cannot afford another car, my car was in excellent shape and I cannot travel with friends in the passenger seat who get car sick. Airbag recall is for passenger side. The resale of this car without a passenger side airbag with an uncompleted recall will be very poor.
