Takata recall: I received a safety recall letter from nissan stating that the front passenger airbag in my 2007 nissan versa needs to be replaced. I called the dealership and was told nissan does not provide loaner cars and will not pay for rental cars. I called nissan consumer affairs and was told the same. I was also informed that the parts for the needed repair work won't be in until late sept./early oct. I need my car for transportation to work and for driving my child to school, etc. I do not have a second car, and I cannot afford to rent a car and pay for that. Nissan instructed me to have my child sit in the back seat but if the airbag is deployed, as the driver, I will be sitting inches from possibly flying metal. I do not understand why nisan is not providing more assistance with this very serious recall. When I mentioned that I have an older car (my car is over ten years old) and so the risk is greater, the supervisor at nissan consumer affairs stated she did not know anything about that. Shouldn't car manufacturers provide loaner cars to people who have these "ticking time bombs" in their cars? How can nissan expect me to just stop driving my car? How do they expect me to get to work every day?
2007 Nissan Versa airbags complaints

On july 26, 2016, I received a recall notice from nissan north america, inc. For my 2007 nissan versa. It advised me to make an appointment at the local dealership for a repair or replacement of the airbag on the passenger side and not to allow anyone to ride on the passenger side of the vehicle. What I do not understand is why it took 9 years to discover this defect and what I do not like is being told how I must utilize my vehicle in order to protect other passengers. It makes we wonder if I would want to replace this vehicle which has worked very well over the years with another nissan versa or other nissan vehicle. I have scheduled an appointment with my local dealership for september 12, but until that time will not be able to carry a passenger in the front of the vehicle.

My car seat belts are not working properly on the passenger side and my air bags warning lights are flashing. I contacted nissan north america and asked them about any recalls for this car and they said no. However, I went on -line to several websites, such as www.internetautoguide.com and found that they are recalls on my 2007 nissan versa 4door hatchback since june 18, 2007 due to a manufacturing process with regards to the terminals for the passenger side seat belt tension sensor harness connector which results in a loss of electrical continuity causing the occupant detection system to become inoperative. The consequence: if this occurs, the air bags warning light will come on the passenger side frontal air bag will be suppressed. Please advise. Additionally, I purchased the car new july 20, 2007 and was not made aware of this. The recall id#64288 affected unit 16309. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Nissan versa 2007-> traveling on a hwy approximate speed 110 kms/hour, sliding off the road and over steering my vehicle resulting in 8.5 rollovers. My passenger air bags deployed above head panel succeeded only if there was passenger in my vehicle. Long story short, why were my driver bags, steering wheel, side head panel not deployed? This happened a couple days ago. Single vehicle accident. Im the only occupant in the vehicle. This investigation is going on. Prior to this accident. The door sounded hallow when it was shut and not really a firm solid shut like most doors. Sounded more like and old rusted 85 chevy silverado door like an empty echo inside sound. Could this car been tampered with before? Carfax can only prove it if it was properly done and submitted. Perhaps a person who knew how to fix it with out submitting information to properly secure a non accident history report. Lemon for sure on the air bag issue. I can only say that its good to be alive and see my kids again.
At approximately 4:15pm I was driving east in a 2007 nissan versa on sr 18 at a speed of 35 MPH. A truck ran a stop sign going south and I collided with his passengers side rear between the extended cab and bed. The collision caused significant damage to the front end of my vehicle. It also caused my transmission to shift or be pushed back because I can not put it into drive. Also, I believe my drive shaft was also damaged because I cannot take my keys out of the ignition. With this significant amount of damage and the speed of travel my complaint is that my vehicles airbags did not deploy.
I own a 2007 nissan versa, which was reareneded. I was pushed forward and rearended the car in front of me. Both ends of my car were pushed in, but the airbag never deployed. My versa was found to be told by both insurance companies.
I own a 2007 nissan versa which has a recalled issue for an air bag/seat belt defect for the passenger side. I contacted nissan and they are saying my VIN is not included in the recall. My 2007 versa has the "passenger side air bag off" light on even when someone sits in the seat. With that light on the air bag is not able to deploy nor will the seat belt work. I had the part replaced by a nissan dealership and not even a week later the same light came back on and remains on. I am being advised to have it fixed another time but do not count on it being fixed as I have already had it switched out one time already.

2007 nissan versa with numerous issues and problems. Customer states he has had numerous amounts of problems with this vehicle. Some are airbag light, and seat belt tension wiring harness. *kb the consumer stated the air bag light was on when he purchased the vehicle.
I purchased a 2007 nissan versa in july of 2006; 3 weeks later the passenger side air bag cover came off the dashboard. Took it to the dealer ship and they pushed it back in and order a new one. They said it wasn't a safety concern. They new back took about 2 months to arrive. They replaced it and a bout a week later the air bag cover came off the dash board again. Went back to the dealer ship and they kept it for a 2 days and they told me they had screwed/ bolted down the air bag to the inside of the dash board. Last week I called them because the cover came off once again and they called a field engineer to come take a look at the car, meanwhile they say is safe to drive the car like it is right now. Should I be concerned of the air bag cover exposed like it is? Sense this is the 3rd time am really concerned about the safety of my family in case the bag deploys.
