TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE A NISSAN VERSA 2008 AND WE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. WE JUST MOVED TO NEW JERSEY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. MY BOYFRIEND DANIIL WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN EDISON AND THEY REFUSED HIM A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE HE IS NOT 21 YEARS OLD. WE ARE 20. I THOUGHT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, THEY CAN'T JUST REFUSE IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO DO WITH OUR SAFETY? THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ME AND MY BOYFRIEND DROVE TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN IN HAMILTON, NJ. A LADY NAMED MCKAYLA DID THE PAPERWORK FOR US, EVERYTHING WAS SET AND THEN SHE SAID "OH WAIT YOU'RE NOT 21 YET, I CAN'T LOAN YOU A CAR." SHE SAID TO CALL THE SERVICE ASSIST LINE TO FURTHER ASSIST US. SO WE CALLED THE LINE, AND TURNS OUT THE GUY THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO DOESN'T WORK ON THE WEEKENDS. SO IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD'VE WENT OFF DURING THE WEEKEND AND WE DIED, THEN WHAT? I CALLED MCKAYLA ON MONDAY AND SHE TOLD US IF WE COULD FIND A COMPANY THAT WOULD RENT US THE CAR, NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR IT. SO I CALLED HERTZ IN NEW YORK SINCE THEIR LEGAL AGE TO RENT A CAR IS 18, AND THEY AGREED TO RENT US A CAR BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF STATE. IF NISSAN SCREWED UP WITH THESE RECALLS, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND PAY THE NECESSARY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. WE WENT BACK TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WENT TO THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE TO SPEAK TO HIM. HE SAID THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. LAST TIME I CHECKED, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE 21 TO OWN A NISSAN. LAST TIME I CHECKED, THERE WAS NOWHERE IN THE PAPERWORK WHEN BUYING A NISSAN THAT STATES: "IN THE CASE OF A RECALL, IF YOU'RE NOT 21 AND OVER YOU WILL BE LEASED A LOANER CAR TILL WE FIX YOUR CAR" SO THEN WHY IS THIS SUCH AN ISSUE? I'M SO SCARED THAT ON OUR WAY TO WORK OR ON OUR WAY HOME THE AIR BAGS WILL GO OFF AND WE WILL DIE.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THE SAME RECALL. FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD A TEMPORARY PART WAS PUT IN UNTIL THE PERMANENT ONE CAME FROM THE MANUFACTURER (THAT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR), THEN I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS SAME DEALERSHIP THAT THE PERMANENT PART WAS IN. SO I TOOK IT BACK IN JULY FOR IT TO BE INSTALLED AND YET, THAT PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME "THEY ARE WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART THAT WILL FINALLY FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THE TAKATA INFLATOR AIRBAG ISSUE. MEANWHILE AND AS I WAIT, I AM PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER DRIVING THE CAR AND THOSE WHO RIDE WITH ME. THIS INFLATOR ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND SOON! I NEED HELP GETTING THE PROPER RESOLUTION THAT WILL REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THE MANUFACTURER NEED TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND MAKE THIS A PRIORITY TO GET RESOLVED AS I HAVE TWO NISSAN VERSA'S AND BOTH HAVE THE SAME TAKATA INFLATOR ISSUES UNDER THE RECALL. MY OTHER CAR IS A 2010 ALSO NEEDING THE PERMANENT PART TO FIX IT'S INFLATOR ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED NISSAN FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS RECALL ADDRESSED. EACH TIME, THEY KEEP TELLING ME ILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL "NEXT SPRING" FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHER PASSENGERS AT RISK OF INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN A FEW MONTHS BACK (I BELIEVE IT WAS IN AUGUST 2017) LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT A RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG FOR MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER EMPIRE NISSAN ONTARIO, CA (909) 906-7424. I WAS THE PARTS WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. I ASKED SHOULD I STILL BE DRIVING MY CAR, IS IT SAFE? AT THAT TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HEADQUARTER, THERE WAS NOTHING HE DO OR SAY ABOUT MY CAR AND THE RECALL. I TRIED SEVERAL TIME TO CALL THE HEADQUARTERS AND I HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO WHERE I HAD TO HANG UP. I STILL HAVE NO ANSWER ON IS IT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY OR MYSELF TO BE DRIVING OUR CAR? THANK YOU [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
