i have a recall for airbag, i made appointment with dealership. on August 16 2023, went to the appointment and it took 4h to replace and they gave me a report that its been fixed, they replaced both driver and passenger side airbag, and the airbag light is off (attached picture of report) when i took the car i noticed the airbag light is still on. i went back and told them the issue and they retook the car for inspection. i waited another 1h and they brought me an invoice that there is a cable from airbag to the car, this needs to be replaced and it cost 400$ without tax and without labor. my complain is that they pretended to replace and fix the airbag and they made sure there is no light on. upon taking the car i noticed it wasn't true. now they demand money for repair. i believe the dealership is not going to remedy the recall without charging

Takata recall - my airbag light has been on for a year. I took it to planet nissan in las vegas, nv 12/13/16 to have it checked out. I was told that it would cost $1000 to repair. I declined as it was too expensive and was told that it didn't need to be replaced. A few months later I was told about a recall and was informed that the part would be in in july 2017. It is now december 2017 and I have been told that the part will not be in until july 2018. Nothing has happened but I do not feel safe driving the car and would like the part to be replaced as soon as possible.
