Takata recall - received notification of airbag recall and am told that getting long term rental car is the best option as the "fix" is not available until spring 2018. This is not a good option however as you have to pay the long term rental insurance rate of over 11/day. That's more than 300/month! the consumer should not be responsible for costs such as these on a life and death safety recall. Best scenario is that they just even trade all the cars for comparable safe vehicles as the passenger air bags were just recalled this year as well. Obviously not a safe or well built vehicle. No help from either the dealer or Nissan direct. They are unwilling to help in anyway and just say that the parts will be available next spring.

Takata airbag. There was a loud pop in my steering wheel one day while I was driving, (nothing was hit). Then my airbag light came on and stayed on ever since. Now my horn does not work. I am afraid that if I am ever in an accident my airbag will not work properly. However for some reason my VIN is not included in the recall and now Nissan is telling me that I have to pay 150 just to do a diagnostic to see what's wrong.

I was never notified of a recall on my vehicle (no. 15V-573) that was issued 09/10/15. It appears that it is still incomplete. How are they allowed to get away with not providing a remedy in a timely manner. And now another recall (no. 17V-449) says they don't even have a part to repair the defect (takata air bag inflator rupture). The first recall says the defect could result in damages that could result in a crash and the air bag deploying could result in death. What options are available when you can't trade in the car? also, I'm not allowed to take part in the class action because I haven't taken my vehicle to the dealership for repair yet (because I can't). Now I'm very anxious every time I get behind the wheel of my car.

Takata recall. I received a letter from the Nissan dealer where I purchased my car, stating that my car will be recalled sometime next year for an air bag replacement. I'm also receiving letters stating how dangerous the airbags are, that there is a class action and this can cause serious injury or death. What do I do in the meantime" how safe am I driving my vehicle waiting until next year" I'm confused and concerned. Please advise. Thank you
