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.

I received a recall notice in July 2016 about the air bag sensors for the passenger air bags being faulty and requiring replacement. I've called my dealership and the Nissan headquarters numerous times about getting the part replaced. Each time I call, I'm told that I have to wait another month for the part to become available. This happened in July, September, October and now in December. The last time I spoke with Nissan, they told me that the part may not be available until January or February of 2017, a full 8-9 months after having received the recall notice. I haven't been able to seat anyone in the front passenger seat since the recall notice. I have kids and need to be able to use that seat. A huge company like Nissan shouldn't string along their consumers along for close to a year to resolve a safety issue.

Nissan dealer "clay cooley" austin tx has not responded to request for airbag recall NHTSA recall 16V-349. I have been waiting for 4 months for replacement parts.

- Austin, TX, USA

I received a preliminary recall notice in July 2016, and the dealer states they have no idea when replacement parts will be available. I think is too much burden to place on an unsuspecting customer.I do not have the use of the front passenger seat in a small car!Nissan hads last all credibility and ai will never purchase one, nor advise anyone to do so. The NHTSA should force the firm to find replacement parts rather than stall until no cars are left to repair.

I received a safety recall notice from Nissan explaining the following: "continued exposure to areas with high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front passenger air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally resulting in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." When I called Nissan in July 2016 they said they would be receiving the parts to fix the problem by either September or October 2016. I called Nissan again on October 17, 2016 they said they will not have the parts until December 2016. I have not received any follow-up notice of any kind and if I had not called Nissan on the 17th of October, they would not have notified me to let me know that the parts will now not be in until December 2016. I would like better communication and more updates from Nissan while this issue is resolved since I now cannot allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat and it is an extreme inconvenience for me since I need to have that seat available for my family.
