Takata recall - took auto to dealer for recall on passenger side airbag. After completion and oil change dealer tells me about a recall on the drivers side. Have not received notification yet. Dealer suggests we park the auto and not drive it until parts to repair are available, which will be April of 2018. That is 7 months! will give us a "new" rental vehicle every 30 days, but we have to furnish insurance coverage on the vehicle. For work I park in a garage, and scratches and occasionally dings happen. This would be normal wear and tear for me, but they are explaining that my insurance would have to repair. I have a $500 deductible, and this could possibly be a very expensive solution. Why would takata not have the parts to repair the vehicle? why should I assume such liability and possibly expense. Took vehicle to hays Nissan, madison, Tennessee. Updated 11/6/2017

Takata recall - our 2008 Nissan Versa had a recall notice that I received in March 2017, stating "do not allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat" due to metal shrapnel potentially striking driver or passengers and causing serious injury or death. It also stated "Nissan anticipates parts to be available for your Versa by the end of April 2017". since then, I had not received any new updates or notice from Nissan. In August 2017, I phoned Nissan's Consumer Affairs division and was informed that the driver side airbag also had a recall for similar fatal risk. They said they would look into a form of compensation since the car could not be driven. After setting me up with a local Nissan dealership (campbell Nissan of edmonds), I would find out the dealership expected me to drive the car to the dealership as a prerequisite to get setup with enterprise rental car. This seemed to be flawed plan, considering the driver's side airbag posed a fatal risk. Along with that, because the rental car would require me to add insurance new coverages, Nissan Consumer Affairs refused to reimburse any additional insurance cost I had to assume for their rental loaner vehicle. The takata airbags parts still do not have an expected date. With the lack of notice (phone call, email, letter) outside of the initial notification for the passenger side airbag, there could have been serious injury or even death to my wife and I due to the lack of communication and ownership on Nissan's part. Not only that, they have setup a very poor system for helping consumer's transition to their offering of a rental vehicle. Attached are the original letter I received as well as a "campaign vehicle storage agreement" that Nissan requested I sign, even though it suggested I was ok to drive the vehicle to and from the dealership before repair.

Takata recall - two separate recalls have been issued for my car, 17V-028 and 17V-449. The first recall is from January 10th. The recall states: "Nissan is currently awaiting parts to remedy the affected vehicles. Nissan will send you a second letter, when parts are available, asking you to bring your vehicle to an Nissan dealer for the remedy at that time." This has been almost 7 full months, and I have not received anything regarding the new parts being available, so I am still driving with a car with a defective airbag.

Takata recall - received recall notice in the mail in early March 2017. Parts for the recall repair were expected by the end of April. It is now the beginning of July and I have not received any updates and no repairs. I am not supposed to drive with passengers in the front seat and I feel unsafe driving this vehicle. I've been waiting for parts and notification of repair for over three months. My initial letter states that if my recall is not completed in a timely manner that I should file a complaint with the NHTSA, and I am doing that now. Please help me get my vehicle repaired.

Takata recall (potentially - my notice doesn't say specifically). I received a recall notice early this year that said I would be receiving a second letter by the end of April for replacement parts for the "front passenger air bag inflator". it is now the end of June, and I haven't received the letter. I am currently unable to use my passenger seat due to this. It also seems there is a danger to me continuing to drive the car.
