2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL, WE RECENTLY WERE TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL ON OUR NEW/ USED NISSAN VERSA. WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THE PARTRS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2018 IN THE SPRING. ALSO WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT A RENTAL WAS AVAILABLE FREE OF CHAARGE FROM A GOVERNMENT LETTER. YET FRED MARTIN NISSAN TOLD US NO SUCH THING WAS AVAILABLE. THEN MY HUSBAND CALLED THEY SAID THERE WAS A RENTAL AVAILABLE BUT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE OUR CAR WITH THEM UNTIL SPRING TO BE FIXED AND THAT THERE WAS A MILLAGE LIMIT THAT WE COULD NOT PASS OR WE WOULD BE CHARGED. THISS IS RIDICULOUS I WOULD NEVER LEAVE MY CAR THAT I STILL OWE TEN GRAND ON AND TRUST THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR MONTHS IN THERE PARKING LOT. SO WE ARE STUCKING DRIVING THE CAR WITH OUR KIDS KNOWING THAT WE COULD GET SEVERLY INJURED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING A COMPANY DID. IT IS SO WRONG THAT THEY ARE MAKING PEOPLE DRIVE THESE CARS STILL KNOWING THAT WE COULD BE HURT AND NOT GIVING US A REALISTIC OPTION TO GET OUR CAR FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE TRIED CALLING THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE TAKEN MY NISSAN VERSA BEFORE FOR A RECALL PART, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THEY KEEP SENDING ME TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS OF THE CAR DEALERSHIP. I THINK I'M GETTING THE RUN-AROUND? INSTEAD OF THEM TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART YET THEY SEEM LIKE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HONOR REPLACING MY AIRBAG. THANK YOU, MELANIE

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.

(1) I REC'D A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2017 RE "SIDE IMPACT SENSOR CONNECTOR PINS THAT MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME." I'VE BEEN TO BERMAN DEALERSHIP IN CHICAGO TWICE FOR SERVICE AND WHEN I ASKED ABOUT RECALL, WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT PART WASN'T AVAILABLE. (2) IN NOV. 2017 I REC'D A NOTICE RE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS
