Takata recall March 2, 2017 my complaint is that the recall has not been resolved in a timely manner. I received NHTSA recall 16V-349 in July 2016 and at this date, after some calls to the dealerships, airbags have not been replaced. Recently I was told the replacement airbags received were inferior & had to be remade. This has been a great ongoing inconvenience because no one can safely ride in the front passenger seat. This time period without resolution is too long. Every time I contact the dealership, they say "parts will be in next month".

Takata recall it has been 6 months since I received a notice from Nissan, not to have any people in passenger seat. I am in business and this has forced me to seat people in back of car. I think there should be a solution for this as soon as possible.

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.

Takata recall I was notified last summer about a recall on the air bag and was told not to have passengers in the vehicle due to the potentially fatal flaw. This is my only vehicle and I have a family that needs rides. I contacted the dealer recently and was told they don't have the parts and that Nissan wasn't allowing them to order the parts. I contacted Nissan and they tell me the parts are not available until some time in 2017. This is unacceptable that they are aware of the risk and are not expediting this repair to be performed. They basically give me the impression they don't care and they are not in a hurry to get this done. I expected this potential fatal flaw in the vehicle to be repaired asap not when they feel like it. This needs to be expedited because if anything does occur and their is injury or death it is on you and Nissan for not getting this taken care of in a very timely manner. I also have the tire pressure monitor system which I understand now is a federal regulation to have equipped on vehicles. This system is very faulty and does not work and extremely expensive to repair. I think if the federal government is going to require this they need to make sure the equipment is reliable and not a high cost to repair.

I was informed in May 2016 of the airbag recall and Nissan still does not have the part to repair it, they said Jan 2017. And now the transmission has failed in the vehicle and Nissan wants to charge $4600 to fix it. I have spoken to several mechanics and Nissan has had a terrible failure rate with these to parts, also the front coil had to be replaced because of a recall. In the state of Virginia you have to pass an inspection and that was due in May 2016 and the airbag parts are not in till 01/2019. I had to spend money out of my own pocket to have the car pass inspection in order for my daughter to drive it without getting a moving violation for failed inspection. Nissan said they would be glad to give me a discount only I purchased a new vehicle- that is unjust.
