2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CANTON, MICHIGAN THAT THEY WONT HAVE THE AIRBAG PARTS UNTIL MARCH 2018. IT IS THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND I NEED THE CAR TO GO TO WORK EACH DAY; HOWEVER, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BUT HAVE NO CHOICE.

TAKATA RECALL I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE RECALL PROCESS, PRIMARILY RECEIVING A RETURN CALL FROM DEALERSHIP AFTER CALLING ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS; AND RECEIVING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OPTION BECAUSE "ALL 35 LOANER CARS HAD BEEN ALREADY GIVEN OUT". I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THE RECALLS, HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 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 (LOKEY NISSAN, 27750 US HIGHWAY 19 N, CLEARWATER, FL 33761) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 12428580. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. GOT A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN. SAID DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CALLED VAN NUYS NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR 2 YEARS UNTIL THEY FINALLY COULD REPAIR IT. THREE MONTHS PASS WITHOUT THAT OMNIPRESENT STRESS. THEN ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ARRIVES ABOUT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. SAYS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. SIMILAR MESSAGE TO BEFORE. I HAVE NO EXPECTATION THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR MY CAR BY THEN. AFRAID TO DRIVE BUT THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. I DO WORK AT HOME SO DRIVE LESS THAN OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T STAY HOME 100% OF THE TIME. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THESE VEHICLES. PEOPLE HAVE DIED.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS PROVIDED INFORMATION THAT THE AIRBAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED MOSSY NISSAN TO SCHEDULE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL SPRING 2018, HOWEVER, THEY WOULD PROVIDE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WOULD ONLY PROVIDE THE LOANER CAR WITH MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING IF WE PAID $25.00 PER DAY FOR 9 MONTHS. NOW THIS IS THEIR RECALL, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SAID IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER $6000 IN RENTAL FEES? SO EITHER MY DAUGHTER DRIVES AN UNSAFE CAR OR WE HAVE TO BASICALLY PAY THE VALUE OF A NEW CAR IN RENTAL COSTS. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND IF THIS IS THEIR RECALL, REGARDLESS OF THE DRIVER, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V349000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH SCOTT CLARK NISSAN (9215 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273, GASTONIA NISSAN, 2275 E FRANKLIN BLVD, GASTONIA, NC 28054, FRIENDSHIP NISSAN, 156 OAK STREET EXTENSION, FOREST CITY, NC, AND NISSAN OF SHELBY, 631 S POST RD, SHELBY, NC 28152 28043). ALL THE DEALERS STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED AN INTERIM REPAIR, WHICH THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INFORMED LAST WEEK VIA A LETTER THAT I HAVE TWO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. SO I DID WHAT NISSAN TOLD ME TO DO AND WENT TO A DEALERSHIP, TO PICK UP A LOANER VEHICLE PROVIDED FROM NISSAN. WE WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE PAPERWORK AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. I ACCEPTED THIS FACT AND WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT THEIR LOANER VEHICLE AND BRING MY CAR HOME AND NOT DRIVE IT. WHEN WE GOT TO THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THEY INFORMED ME I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR LYFT OR UBER DRIVING, LYFT IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. I AM ALSO A DRIVER FOR AMAZON FLEX AND I'M LEAVING PIZZA HUT. WHEN I WENT TO SIGN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEIR VEHICLE FOR MY JOB. ALSO THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT NISSAN FOR IT TO BE APPROVED TO BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND INCOME. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE PERSON I WAS CONNECTED WITH ESCALATED MY CASE TO A REGIONAL NISSAN MANAGER. THE SECOND PERSON CALLED ME BACK WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR MY JOB, AND THAT IF I CHOOSE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CURRENT VEHICLE I WOULD BE RELINQUISHING ANY RIGHTS IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO HARM ME. SO I EITHER CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THEIR LOANER VEHICLE AND FIND A NEW JOB, OR REFUSE THE CAR AND DRIVE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT MIGHT HARM ME AND OR OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP I ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY COULD I EVEN ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCEPT MY CAR AS A TRADE IN THEY DENIED TO THIS BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS. SO I HAVE THE CHOICE OF CHANGING CAREERS OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD POSSIBLY INJURE ME OR ANY OCCUPANTS. I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE NHTSA BY THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM.
