Takata recall: This is third time airbag inflator light goes on. Had recall repaired a yr ago at clermont, fl dealer. After repair was done noticed horn, air conditioner and defrost buttons not working on panel. I immediately pointed it out to dealer. They fixed air conditioner button only, said the other two issues were not there problem. I spoke to warrant dept that day at the dealership to no avail dept. Stated car was out of warranty. If I wanted it fixed I had to pay. Dealership said it was not their problem I had to pay and they would gladly give me an estimate. Horn and other buttons on panel were all working properly until air bag was fixed that day. I called Nissan warranty dept again. Dept said they could not help because it was a dealership issue. I took vehicle to another dealership in leesburg, fl 3 months ago. They stated there was a recall on airbag I did not know about. They fixed problem. 2 months later airbag inflator light goes on again. I went to the Nissan dealer in clermont and they stated there was no recall on file. They would contact me when they recieved information about it. I tried to explain to manager that I spoke to the warranty dept and they stated I needed to bring vehicle in to have this issue fixed right away. Again manager said there was nothing they could do at the time I would have to wait to receive information about recall. I really need help regarding the issues at hand. Horn is not working due to the airbag malfunction. I drive this vehicle everyday and I am very scared sumthing might happen due to these issues and recall.

Takata recall--I received a recall from Nissan and immedialey went to a dealer. They told me that once I accepted a loaner car, for which I had to provide the insurance coverage, I could not move my car. I am planning on selling my house and moving, and they could not tell me what to do with my car with the airbag. I wrote to Nissan and all I can get are automated messages that they will respond when they have an answer. That was over 1 month ago. No answer. Why can't they respond? I am unable to make appropriate decisions and continue to drive the car pending a response.

Takata recall. Got a recall notice from Nissan. Said don't allow anyone to sit in passenger side of car. Called van nuys Nissan multiple times for 2 years until they finally could repair it. Three months pass without that omnipresent stress. Then another recall notice arrives about driver's side air bag. Says parts not available until spring 2018. Similar message to before. I have no expectation they will be able to repair my car by then. Afraid to drive but this is my only car. I do work at home so drive less than other people, but I can't stay home 100% of the time. Nissan should replace these vehicles. People have died.

Takata recall: I was provided information that the airbags needed to be replaced. I called mossy Nissan to schedule and I was told that the parts would not be in until spring 2018, however, they would provide a loaner car until the repairs can be made. Unfortunately, they would only provide the loaner car with my 20 year old daughter driving if we paid $25 per day for 9 months. Now this is their recall, they are the ones that said it was absolutely not safe to drive but they want me to pay over $6000 in rental fees? so either my daughter drives an unsafe car or we have to basically pay the value of a new car in rental costs. This is not safe and if this is their recall, regardless of the driver, this should be covered.

Takata recall I was informed last week via a letter that I have two recalls on my vehicle. So I did what Nissan told me to do and went to a dealership, to pick up a loaner vehicle provided from Nissan. We went through all of the paperwork and they informed me that the driver side airbag will not be available until spring 2018. I accepted this fact and was willing to accept their loaner vehicle and bring my car home and not drive it. When we got to the rental agreement they informed me I would not be able to use the vehicle for lyft or uber driving, lyft is my main source of income and I have no other option. I am also a driver for amazon flex and I'm leaving pizza hut. When I went to sign the rental agreement they informed me that I would not be able to use their vehicle for my job. Also they informed me that I would need to contact Nissan for it to be approved to be able to use the vehicle for commercial purposes. This is my only means of transportation and income. So I contacted Nissan and the person I was connected with escalated my case to a regional Nissan manager. The second person called me back within a few hours and informed me that I would not be able to use the vehicle for my job, and that if I choose to continue to drive my current vehicle I would be relinquishing any rights if the airbags were to harm me. So I either choose to accept their loaner vehicle and find a new job, or refuse the car and drive my current vehicle with airbags that might harm me and or occupants of my vehicle. While I was at the dealership I attempted everything I possibly could I even asked if they would be able to accept my car as a trade in they denied to this because of the airbags. So I have the choice of changing careers or continue to drive a car that could possibly injure me or any occupants. I was informed to contact the NHTSA by the dealership I purchased my car from.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Versa. The contact received more than two recall notices for NHTSA campaign numbers: 17V449000 (air bags) and 16V349000 (air bags). The dealer (antioch Nissan, 1831 auto center dr, antioch, ca 94509, (925) 755-2600) initially indicated that the vehicle had no recalls. The computer system was down and the dealer later stated that they may be able to order the front passenger side parts; however, the driver's side parts were not available yet to provide the recall repair. In addition, the contact inquired about a loaner vehicle option until the driver's side parts become available. The dealer was not a participant of the loaner vehicle program. The dealer recommended that the contact check with a second dealer (dublin Nissan, 6450 dublin ct, dublin, ca 94568, (925) 452-8000). The manufacturer was contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
