2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT NISSAN ISN'T PROVIDING A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG UNTIL AT LEAST MARCH OR APRIL OF 2018. MY COLLEGE STUDENT DRIVES THIS CAR IN FLORIDA WHERE SHE GOES TO SCHOOL IT'S HUMID IN FLORIDA AND THE INFORMATION I'VE READ STATES HUMIDITY CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR 3-4 MONTHS ISN'T SUFFICIENT.

MOISTURE GETS INTO THE SEALED TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAUSING A SHORT WHICH THEN CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT THINKS YOU HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY CAUSE THE TAILLIGHTS TO FAIL AND MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V449000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (BALISE NISSAN OF WARWICK, 1350 POST RD, WARWICK, RI 02888) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2012 NISSAN VERSA FOR A DEFECTIVE FRONT DRIVER AIR BAG INFLATOR. I FOUND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THROUGH WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT SHEEHY NISSAN/MECHANICS 6564 MECHANICSVILLE PIKE, MECHANICSVILLE (804) 417-1012. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN ON MONDAY DECEMBER 4, 2017 AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. THE FRONT DRIVER AIR BAG INFLATOR HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND NO BRAKING WHATSOEVER. FORTUNATELY, STOPPED THE CAR BY USING THE HANDBRAKE. PROPER FUNCTION RETURNED AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WE RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A YEAR AGO STATING THE REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE IN FALL OF 2017. IT IS DECEMBER 2017 AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPAIRS DONE YET.

TAKATA RECALL NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF MY LOCATION STATES THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL UNTIL SPRING 2018, AND THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATES THAT RENTALS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY SAID RECALL; WHILE THIS WOULD BE FINE, IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACQUIRE SAID RENTAL IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE SUCH INDIVIDUALS WITH REPLACEMENTS. I ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP EVERY 3-4 DAYS, IN WHICH I AM CONSISTENTLY TOLD THAT NO RENTALS ARE AVAILABLE; AND "WE NORMALLY RECEIVE MORE AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF BUSINESS HOURS." IF ATTEMPTING TO CALL AT SAID TIMES, THE SAME ANSWER IS GIVEN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO TAKE MY CONTACT INFORMATION TO INFORM ME WHEN RENTALS ARE AVAILABLE; AND I HAVE WAITED OVER ONE MONTH WITH NO CALL BACK; I HAVE SINCE STARTED PESTERING THEM ONCE MORE, WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. I WON'T ASSUME THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS HOLDING OUT ON GIVING TAKATA RECALLED VEHICLE OWNER'S RENTALS AS THEY WOULD RECEIVE NO CURRENCY IN EXCHANGE FOR SUCH; BUT I AM APPALLED THAT ANY CORPORATION WOULD ALLOW INDIVIDUALS TO OPERATE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLES FOR OVER SIX MONTHS WHILE TREATING SAID INDIVIDUALS WITH DISREGARD. WHILE I HAVE LIMITED THE USAGE OF MY VEHICLE TO THE MINIMUM, ONLY UTILIZING IT IN NECESSARY PREDICAMENTS SUCH AS WORK TRANSPORT; I KNOW NOT AT WHAT RISK MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS NEAR ME FACE EACH TIME WE DRIVE DUE TO THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE DEALERSHIPS NEAR MY LOCATION.

TAKATA RECALL: THIS IS GETTING JUST SILLY. BACK IN APRIL OR MAY OF 2017 I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS RECALL. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT, BUT DID NOT HAVE PARTS FOR IT YET. HE THEN SAID PARTS WOULD BE IN AT THE END OF SUMMER OF 2017 AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN. I WAITED NOW TILL DEC. OF 2017 WITHOUT HEARING ANYTHING FROM THEM. SO CALLED TODAY, DEC 1ST OF 2017 AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. THIS IS NOT BEING DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. GARY
