2008 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS ON MY NISSAN SINCE 2015. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND ALL 3 ARE STILL UNRESOLVED. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN, THE RESPONSE IS - TO AWAIT THE INVITATION TO THE DEALERSHIP. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND YET I HAVE TO RISK MY WELL-BEING EVERY DAY TO GET AROUND.

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECALL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDE DRIVING CAR TO DEALER SO THEY CAN SEE IT. THIS SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE SINCE THE AIRBAGS CAN KILL PEOPLE.

TAKATA RECALL BEGINNING OF OCTOBER, I WENT TO NISSAN WORKSHOP AND NO AIRBAG WAS AVAILABLE. THEY SHOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN PART WILL BE ON SITE. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE? CAN TAKAKA PRODUCE NEW PARTS? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HAVE MY AIRBAG CHANGED? THANK YOU FOR SUPPORT SINCERELY

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS AND THAT THEY WERE ONLY GETTING ONE OR TWO IN A MONTH FROM NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN JUNE OR JULY BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THEY WERE EXPECTING REGULAR SHIPMENTS OF THE PART. I CALLED DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW I'VE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PARTS UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. I'M VERY CONCERNED AND CONFUSED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND EVERY MAILING I RECEIVE SAYS HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN I'M TOLD THAT THERE ISN'T A POSSIBILITY TO FIX IT UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR?!?!

2008 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 17V-449. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPAIR EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE COMPLETED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A LOANER VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/24/2017*JS

TAKATA RECALL MY 18 YEAR DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. WE BROUGHT IT O THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A MINIMUM OF 8 MONTHS VERY THE DEFECT TO BE CORRECTED. A "LOANER CAR" WAS GIVEN TO US. THE PROBLEM IS MY DAUGHTER IS 18 AND THE DEALER WON'T LET HER DRIVE THE LOANER. SHE IS A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT AND WORKS 2 JOBS. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT SHE HAS A CAR. IF IT WAS ONLY GOING TO TAKE A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WE WOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER. 8 MONTHS OR VERY POSSIBLY LONGER IS WAY TO LONG AND IS GOING TO PUT AN UNDUE BURDEN TO OUR FAMILY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN CORP. THEY HAVEN'T YET GIVEN ME A SOLUTION TO THIS DILEMMA. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT A WRONG CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. I'M ASKING YOU AS A TAX PAYER TO PLEASE STEP IN AND MEDIATE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD MAKE ME "WHOLE". MYSELF NOR MY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ADDED STRESS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE MY DAUGHTER'S CAR OR AT THE VERY LEAST BUY THIS CAR BACK FROM ME.
