Dear sir/madam this is not really a complaint. I just wanted to let you know that I took care of the recall for airbags two years ago, but it looks like the dealership never registered that they fixed the issue, and thus I keep receiving letters stating that I need to take care of it. I fixed the airbag recall issue at a Nissan dealership in montgomery, please stop sending me letters asking me to fix it. Regards, daniel jimenez.

59 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2017

My 2009 Nissan Versa has a recall for the driver and passenger airbags. I live in an area with no direct access to a Nissan dealership, and would need the car to be barged to the nearest one. Nissan has refused to barge the car to the nearest dealership to fix the recall issue. Nissan is refusing to fix the recall issue locally where there is no dealership available or Nissan certified mechanics. I have requested the part to be shipped to a local mechanic for it to be fixed, but was denied. I asked to purchase the part and have a local mechanic install it and was told that was not possible. So at this time Nissan is denying any possible route to have the airbag recall fixed. All I want is to have the part replaced so I am no longer at risk of death due to projectile metal shrapnel in event of an accident from the airbag canister exploding. Nissan is refusing to allow any avenue to have the issue fixed locally or to move the vehicle to the nearest dealership. Numerous and repeated attempts to get this issue resolved with Nissan have lead nowhere. At every new phone call all prior information has been lost and the issue must be re-explained. I am inevitably told they will look more into and promise to get back to me, out of 3 calls to Nissan directly and approximately 10+ calls to the company handling the recall, I have yet to receive a single call back. I do not wish to die in a car accident, I am willing to pay for the part and labor to be completed locally. Any assistance in getting Nissan to allow my car to be fixed so it is no longer at risk of the airbag canister exploding and injuring myself and passengers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

64 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2017

I received an NHTSA recall 16v-349 for this car in the mail yesterday, stating the importance and safety of this recall. I made an appointment right away for today, may 3, 2017. I went into the Nissan and the service advisor informed me that the parts are not available and they have been waiting on them and told me to check back in June to see if they have it or not. I let him know that I made an appointment the previous day and he said that the departments are separate and the girls just handle phone calls and cashiering duties and they wouldn't know. After getting this letter and being concerned for the safety of my family, then not having the repair performed on my car, I am even more worried about my wife driving this car. I'm not sure who to speak to so we can remedy this situation, but it is immensely frustrating and scary.

68 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2017

Takata recall. Received notice about this recall in March 2017. Notice said parts would be in by the end of April 2017. Called 6/2/17 and was told parts would be in by end of June. Next time told end of July. It is now September and still waiting on parts. I never expected such a serious recall could take so long. Thank god I'm not sending a complaint telling you the air bag ruptured and my son is dead because of it. To have to worry every time the car is used that he will be seriously injured or worse, is unacceptable in this day and age. Feel at this point, that Nissan should provide another vehicle for him to drive instead of having him be at risk of dying from this faulty airbag that can rupture even at high temperatures and humidity. It doesn't even have to be an accident. Where is customer service with this company?.
