Nissan Versa 2012 has a engine problem with the mass air sensor and also the electrical probelm. My car shut off on the road while I was driving. I sent to the mechanist but they could not find the exact problem. I also sent to a Nissan dealership but the problem still remain it. I one time almost got a accident because of it.
I was notified months ago that my car was recalled because sensor pins may have deteriorated and that closing car door could cause unexpected deployment of airbags with injury or death as a result. I cannot get definitive information from the dealership and my letter of complaint to NHTSA dated 5/30/17 has not been acknowledged or answered. I am quite upset at the prospect of myself and/or a passenger being killed or injured by flying shrapnel if my sensors designed with incompatible metals are compromised. I am even more upset that I am forced to drive this timebomb and that I am unable to find out when this horrible situation will be rectified. The whole process is unsettling, disgusting, and frustrating especially since I am forced to feel stressed every time I drive and every time I try to get information let alone repair. Who cares? my family does!.
Upon starting vehicle one day in may 2017, airbag alert began to flash while driving. After looking into current recalls using the VIN, I learned of an airbag recall that applied to my vehicle. I took my vehicle to an authorized Nissan service center to have the airbag issue corrected. I picked up my vehicle and was told that the airbag recall issue had been serviced. After driving off the Nissan service light I noticed the airbag sensor still flashing so drove back to ask about the alert. I was then told that I didn't have functioning airbags, if I got into an accident they would not deploy. Only because I returned and questioned the service team, did I find out that this airbag issue was still present. The Nissan service team denied responsibility of fixing the issue or even looking into it to see if it may be related to the airbag defect. Since malfunctioning airbags could result in serious injury or death, I think this issue should be investigated. The Nissan service team completely neglected to inform me of nonfunctional airbags before returning my vehicle to me and I find this issue very alarming.
2012 Nissan Versa. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair door sensor pins deterioration recall 17v-144. The consumer stated 6 months is not a reasonable amount of time for the repair parts to become available.
The sensor does not recognize that someone is sitting on the passenger front seat. This happens when it is mobile.
Whenever I'm driving alone, the light that tell me the the passenger air bag is on or off, goes on and off by itself. Yesterday I saw an article on cnn, that Nissan is recalling some vehicles because the air bag sensor in the passenger side is malfunctioning, and may prevent the air bag to not go off even if there is a passenger sitting there. The light does this only when the passenger seat is empty. If there is a passenger the light goes off and stays off. I did not see my 2012 Versa included in the article. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
