Takata recall - I cannot get my local dealers to return my call to schedule an appointment to get this issue fixed. I continue to get warning notices from nissan USA, but local dealers avoid scheduling recalls, always saying they must "confer with the production manager to ensure parts are available", they then promise to call back but never do. I have left phone numbers and email addresses and never heard from either of them. At this point I believe they are stalling on the fixes hoping the older cars simply die and go to the graveyard first.

Takata inflators and airbags I received notice that these were dangerous. I contacted nissan. The dealer does not have the parts. This was in november of 2017. It is now jan 15th of 2018. I was given a rental car to use until jan 15th. Now I have no safe car to use for work and no expectation of when the parts will be in. I can not drive the car, because I do not wish to take a chance of injuring myself or my family.metal fragments can explode and injure or kill people. I have to drive my son to school and then go to work, pick him up each day, like every other working mom. What can I do?

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.

I have received two recall notices (16v‑349 and 17v‑449) about this issue. These notices came many months apart. After receiving each notice, at my next service appointment (priority nissan, tysons corner, virginia) I inquired, and I was told that parts were not available, but would be available in coming months (e.g., if I asked in october, I was told the parts would be available in spring). I am beginning to believe that there is no real intention to honor these recalls, and I am feeling somewhat uneasy when driving the car.
Takata recall - recall notice out since may of 2015. It is now nov 2017, 18 months after the notice, and my vehicle is still not repaired. 19 months for a parts shortage is not acceptable. What can I do, actively, to get my vehicle's defect repaired? The waiting game, in my opinion, is merely a strategy to delay and hope the issue goes away. In the meantime, my passengers are at risk of injury and death.
Takata recall (nissan versa hatchback) airbag light will not turn off in car. This relates to vehicle safety for any passenger in front seat of car in case of an accident.

"takata recall" at the end of september 2017, I received a letter from nissan north america stating my driver side airbag is on a recall list and that parts would be available spring 2018 and I would get a second letter when the parts are available. So I was given at rental car since they were out of loaner cars at fred anderson nissan of raleigh, nc. Which is good. Two weeks ago I got a call from the parts dept. Of fred anderson stating that my driver side airbag part is in and I should come for a repair, so I asked if they had an official letter from nissan north america, because I had not received the second letter notifying me of the part being available. I asked him what brand and he (alex) said takata and it was a limited supply. Now that company and all its holdings have gone bankrupt. I said I would call him back. Then I received an email from their internet sales person chad susan stating that I should bring my car in and trade it in for a new car, since the recall part will not be available until spring 2018, they would take my car now if I wanted to trade it in for a new car. Hmmmm same dealership. Then I got a call from lauren from service stating the driver side airbag recall part is in. So I called nissan north america consumer affairs on 11/10/17 ans spoke to bridgette and she said the recall part is not in and was not aware of any limited supply of airbags for the driver side recall. She said she would open a claim and a claim rep,. Would call from a 615 number. So I got a call from jacco from nissan north america claims who stated that he spoke to the service manager and service director and they had a limited supply of the airbags. So I asked jacco to send me a letter or an email stating that they indeed have a limited supply of airbags for the recall part and he said he could not do that. This is alarming!!!!!! Even if takata!
