TAKATA RECALL-IN EARLY 2017, WE REC'D A SAFETY RECALL FROM NISSAN NO. AMERICA RE: POTENTIAL RUPTURING OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR. THE MAILER SAID THAT NISSAN WAS WAITING FOR PARTS & SHOULD BE AVAIL. APRIL 2017. THE CAR WAS WITH OUR SON AT COLLEGE. WE TOLD HIM DO NOT DRIVE W- PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT. SEPT 25, 2017, WE REC'D A 2ND NOTICE-STATING THAT PARTS WERE AVAIL TO REPAIR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG + AN ADD'L RECALL 17V-449 WAS IN EFFECT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE, PARTS NOT AVAIL UNTIL SPRING 2018. WE WILL GET THE REPAIR DONE & THERE IS AN OPTION FOR GETTING A LOANER CAR, BUT FOR 9 MONTHS, OUR SON & OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR, NOT KNOWING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WAS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN (NHTSA) COULD NOT CONFIRM THE SAME ISSUE ON BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS & NOTIFY US OF THE DANGER BACK IN JAN 2017. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR, BUT THE FACT THAT 9 MONTHS LATER WE ARE FINDING OUT THAT OUR SON, AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL IS SHOCKING AND HORRIFYING.

2012 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD UPDATED 09/22/2017*JS

WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN 1 PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HESITATES; THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THE CAR HESITATES AS IT STARTS MOVING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T PICK UP WHILE MAKING A TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP RIGHT AWAY, AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COST MORE THAN $3,000 AND A 5 YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO BAD, AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED US IF THE VEHICLES DIDN'T AVOID HITTING US ON THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLED.
