VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY STARTED SHAKING AND SLIDING/SKIDDING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ENDING IN A CRASH. FURTHERMORE, MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS RESULTED IN SEVERE CUTS, BRUISES AND OTHER INJURIES TO FACE AND OTHER BODY PARTS.

TAKATA AIRBAG COMPLAINT. I RECEIVED THE INTERIM NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN IN EARLY JULY, AND TO THIS DAY HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM NISSAN ON THE MATTER. THIS HAS BEEN FOUR MONTHS THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FULLY USE THE VEHICLE, SINCE HAVING PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT IS UNSAFE. DOCUMENTATION ON SAFECAR.GOV SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS AN INTERIM FIX FOR THIS RECALL, HOWEVER, MY DEALER COULD FIND NO RECORD OF THIS IN THEIR SYSTEM NOR HAVE THEY RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM NISSAN SINCE THE INITIAL RELEASE. THE LATEST UPDATE SHOWS THAT PARTS FOR A FINAL FIX MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DECEMBER OR LATER. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE, FAR BEYOND A REASONABLE WAIT TIME TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THE UTILITY AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE (ALTHOUGH I DID NOT ESCALATE THE COMPLAINT BEYOND FIRST-LEVEL SERVICE) TO ABSOLUTELY ZERO RESOLUTION. I AM HOPING THERE IS SOME RECOURSE OR FASTER RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY STOPS. THIS OCCURRED TWICE WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IT WAS SERVICED BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TAKATA INFLATORS - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION SOMETIME DURING MID SUMMER 2016, FOR NHTSA RECALL 16V-349 FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN INC. I WAS INFORMED OF THE DEFECT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER INDICATED THAT NISSAN WAS "AWAITING PARTS TO REMEDY THE AFFECTED VEHICLES". I WAS TO BE SENT A SECOND LETTER WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND ARRANGE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIRS. DURING THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2016 MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND WE INQUIRED AS TO WHEN THEY THOUGHT PARTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. WE WERE TOLD THE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE ANY TIME AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM ONCE THEY WERE AVAILABLE. TODAY I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. I WAS TOLD THAT REPAIRS SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN MADE TO MY VEHICLE, TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND IF THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE AND MAKE REPAIRS TO CONTACT THEM AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER, NISSAN OF MCKINNEY (TEXAS) AND WAS PUT ON HOLD TO SEE IF THEY COULD SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS, AND CAME BACK AND IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED REPAIRS FOR NEXT WEEK. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT A SAFETY RECALL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL, WAS SO POORLY EXECUTED BY BOTH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, WHO FAILED TO SEND OUT THE SECOND LETTER THE ORIGINAL NOTIFICATION INDICATED WOULD BE SENT, AND THE DEALER WHO SO DEFTLY IGNORED ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON FOLLOWING THROUGH ON EVEN CONTACTING US ABOUT PARTS, WHEN WE HAD QUERIED THEM SO RECENTLY. WE BOUGHT THE 2007 VERSA NEW AND IT IS STILL REGISTERED IN THE SAME NAMES, AT THE SAME ADDRESS AND EVEN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED AT THE SAME SELLING DEALER. I CONSIDER THIS SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN A COMPLETELY FAILURE ON THE PARTS OF BOTH NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN AND MCKINNEY NISSAN.
