TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND, MONTHS LATER, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (AUTOCOM NISSAN OF CONCORD, 1290 CONCORD AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (925) 275-5634) STATED THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS REQUIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE THE SOLUTION FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS NOTIFIED MONTHS AGO THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED BECAUSE SENSOR PINS MAY HAVE DETERIORATED AND THAT CLOSING CAR DOOR COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS WITH INJURY OR DEATH AS A RESULT. I CANNOT GET DEFINITIVE INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MY LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO NHTSA DATED 5/30/17 HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED OR ANSWERED. I AM QUITE UPSET AT THE PROSPECT OF MYSELF AND/OR A PASSENGER BEING KILLED OR INJURED BY FLYING SHRAPNEL IF MY SENSORS DESIGNED WITH INCOMPATIBLE METALS ARE COMPROMISED. I AM EVEN MORE UPSET THAT I AM FORCED TO DRIVE THIS TIMEBOMB AND THAT I AM UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHEN THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION WILL BE RECTIFIED. THE WHOLE PROCESS IS UNSETTLING, DISGUSTING, AND FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM FORCED TO FEEL STRESSED EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND EVERY TIME I TRY TO GET INFORMATION LET ALONE REPAIR. WHO CARES? MY FAMILY DOES!

UPON STARTING VEHICLE ONE DAY IN MAY 2017, AIRBAG ALERT BEGAN TO FLASH WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING INTO CURRENT RECALLS USING THE VIN, I LEARNED OF AN AIRBAG RECALL THAT APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG ISSUE CORRECTED. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE HAD BEEN SERVICED. AFTER DRIVING OFF THE NISSAN SERVICE LIGHT I NOTICED THE AIRBAG SENSOR STILL FLASHING SO DROVE BACK TO ASK ABOUT THE ALERT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I DIDN'T HAVE FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS, IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT THEY WOULD NOT DEPLOY. ONLY BECAUSE I RETURNED AND QUESTIONED THE SERVICE TEAM, DID I FIND OUT THAT THIS AIRBAG ISSUE WAS STILL PRESENT. THE NISSAN SERVICE TEAM DENIED RESPONSIBILITY OF FIXING THE ISSUE OR EVEN LOOKING INTO IT TO SEE IF IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE AIRBAG DEFECT. SINCE MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE NISSAN SERVICE TEAM COMPLETELY NEGLECTED TO INFORM ME OF NONFUNCTIONAL AIRBAGS BEFORE RETURNING MY VEHICLE TO ME AND I FIND THIS ISSUE VERY ALARMING.

HELLO. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A PAIR OF KUMHO SOLUS KH25 TIRES FORM A LOCAL TIRE SHOP. WHILE TRAVELING TO VISIT FAMILY FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY, 1 OF THE TIRES,MOUNTED ON THE FRONT, HAD A IT TREAD SEPARATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE TIRE, WHICH I AM OK WITH, I FEEL THAT THE BRAND OF TIRE MAY HAVE TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE WITH TODAY'S ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
