On February 2, 2021 around 0820 on south marine corp drive rt. 1 (across east agana mobil gas station) the driver's side airbag in my vehicle had unexpectly deployed while driving (vehicle in motion) to work; while in the middle of rush hour traffic. I'm had the vehicle towed to Nissan guam for them to investigate and the results were given to me by service manager gibert a spiral cable in the steering column grounded, overtime causing a short circuit in the airbag module which enacted the unexpected deployment and has nothing to do with the recall. And because the airbag has deployed we there is no recall items to replace. The vehicle remains in Nissan guam's possession at the moment.
"takata recall" Nissan dealership will not replace the drivers side airbag, it has replaced 2 airbags only. Bags replaced are side airbag on drivers side, and front airbag for passenger. Spoke to manager of 2 dealership but say those not replaced were not specified, therefore will not replace. Also could not tell me if they were a different brand. Said I would have to pay them to check the brand. Why. Would Nissan use different brands on same car?.
Takata recall I'm not sure what is considered a "timely manner" for this repair. I received notice from Nissan in August telling me to not call the local dealer and to wait for Nissan to contact me when parts are available. Today I get a legal notice in the mail regarding the takata chapter 11 bankruptcy hearings and told to contact a local dealership. Edwards Nissan of council bluffs, IA told me they will not have parts until at least early spring 2018 and they would put me on the list of people to contact when parts became available. I guess to me, that is not very timely. That is an "estimate" of when they "think" they can fix it. I'd also like to know if this recall is supposed to include just the driver side bag or if it is supposed to include the passenger side airbag. Doesn't make sense to me to make me take it in twice if my vehicle has just not been released as searchable regarding the passenger bag.
Takata recall: my driver's side airbag is under recall and parts will not be available until spring 2018. I called my dealership for information about a loaner vehicle until the repair can take place. After finally being redirected to the service manager from talking to several individuals, I left a message which was never returned.
Takata recall I have received a notice of recall for drivers' side airbag, but Nissan has told me they will be unable to supply the replacement for at least a year. There is a waiting list. This is my main concern. Also, I have received a notice of chapter 11 being filed by takata, and this concerns me as well, in case the parts and replacement will not be provided. I have no choice, financially, but to keep driving this car in spite of the safety hazard.
