Takata inflators: despite the initial recall being issued in 2016 as yet no fix available until spring 2018. Contacted Nissan dealer in birmingham al and was offered a loan car until they realised I will not be 21 until June 2018. It seems hypocritical to offer a loan car due to safety issues with the Nissan Versa but then withdraw the offer and leave no option but to drive a potentially unsafe vehicle due to an issue with their insurance company.

Takata recall. There is a recall on the drivers side airbag. The dealer does not expect to have replacement inflators until spring of 1918. This is entirely too long and is a safety hazard to wait this long for repairs.

Takata airbags: the passenger airbag is not working properly. It comes on when nobody is in the passenger seat and it goes off when someone over the weight capacity sits. It's suppose to come on when it recognizes weight over 120 lbs, but it does not; however when I am driving down the road (alone), all of a sudden it just pops on (when nobody is in the passenger seat. I am so afraid for myself and that of those riding with me. This is a "clear and present danger", this takata airbag issue needs to be finally fixed and soon! I have taken my vehicle in twice for the same recall. First time, I was told a temporary part was put in until the permanent one came from the manufacturer (that was earlier this year), then I received a call from this same dealership that the permanent part was in. So I took it back in July for it to be installed and yet, that part has been recalled also. The dealership tells me "they are waiting on the manufacturer for the replacement part that will finally fix this issue with the takata inflator airbag issue. Meanwhile and as I wait, I am putting myself in danger driving the car and those who ride with me. This inflator issue needs to be fixed and soon! I need help getting the proper resolution that will remedy this situation. The manufacturer need to speed up the process and make this a priority to get resolved as I have two Nissan Versa's and both have the same takata inflator issues under the recall. My other car is a 2008 Nissan Versa also needing the permanent part to fix it's inflator issue.

2010 Nissan Versa. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair front airbag inflator recall notice.

Nissan issued a recall NHTSA recall 16v-349 received by me 7/26/16 wherein they stated that "the front passenger air bag inflator housing could rupture and deploy abnormally resulting in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. " Nissan further advised "do not allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat", which has caused a lengthy undue hardship on Versa owners. When I called on 8/24/16, diana informed me the part would be in by the end of September or beginning of October. That did not happen. I then called again on 10/28/16, when melodie informed me that the parts would not be in until January 2017. My request for a Nissan rental was refused, which was not right considering the inconvenience I have experienced, not using my car to its fullest capacity and always with the fear of flying fragments should the housing rupture. My call to sheila in the consumer affairs dept. On 11/19/16 yielded the exact result as before- the parts would not be in until January 2016. Nissan needs to complete the necessary repairs as soon as possible or provide the affected owners with car rentals. It is long overdue.

We received a recall letter for inflator replacement in July 2016. As of January 2017 Nissan states they do not have the parts to remedy the affected vehicles. I have called consumer affairs department with Nissan numerous times and all they can say is the parts are not available. Their letter states if the passenger air bag inflator ruptures, it may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death. I am not aware if this is a takata recall, for the letter did not indicate so. This recall letter is now over 6 months old and Nissan still does not have the parts. This is very frustrating. Nissan does not seem to care about the automobiles that they have already sold to their customers.
