12/27/2021 Nissan Headquarters call and a case number 45372007 given on12/21/21 after speaking with a Sandra while at the Nissan repair location in Rivergate/Madison, TN. call from Nathaniel from Nissan Headquarters in Franklin, TN regarding air bag system. Replacement as part of recall warning light complaint and case filed. Air bag warning light came on 12/19/21, diagnostic 12/21/21 air bag control system needed replacement. Clock spring was replaced October 2019, 15 months after recall issues on Takata air bag system and full replacement completed 7/26/2018. Nissan cannot cover costs due to mileage on car. I noted wanting to have this on record that these issues began after the recall on air bags and replacement in 2018. 615‑725‑7000 12/31/21 car air bag issue repaired then air bag light would pop on 2 more times, once in January 2022 in which they said they forgot to ‘clear codes” and then in February 2022 when other issues surfaced, another part replaced. Then light pops on again 3/15/2022 and I notified the service advisor with Nissan who’d been helping me and took the car in the following week.I have already paid for repairs to the clock spring in October 2019 between $530-$600 and the repair done 12/31/21 totaling over $1000 which includes the diagnostic fee, parts and labor. $1600 is just the bare minimum of what's been paid out.3/30/2022: Nissan Versa 2010 was dropped off again at Nissan of Rivergate/Hayes Nissan due to air bag warning light coming on again. They are running another diagnostic. This has been a continual and consistent issue since the air bag recall and replacement in July 2018. I have paid for the clock spring to be replaced October 2019 and now other parts and many trips to this Nissan for a “fix.” Which now they are saying I may have to possibly pay again. This is unacceptable and seems that there may be other consumers dealing with this issue. Something is wrong with this recall and replacement causing these issues of safety.
Air bag light came back on again. Car is back at Nissan of Rivergate in Madison, TN 2/28/2022 for another parts replacement. This again was never an issue until the air bag recall and replacement of 2018. Your tracking number assigned by the federal safety agency for this issue is 11448887. Air bag recall and replacement July 2018. Repaired in October 2019 after air bag light came back on: clock spring replaced, I paid out of pocket. 2021 air bag light on again: whole other issue with air bag system, I paid out of pocket again. And I have to let them know to make sure parts are put back correctly. Some areas appear to be cracked near windshield due to the work, but I know that will be hard to prove with them. Air bag light came back on-again January 2022, they initially said it was that they didn't reset the sensors. Took car back, they reset. 2/3/22 air bag light came on again now a new part is being worked on 2/28/22. This has been an issue with the airg bag recall.
Air bag warning light has continued to cause issues/coming on since the recall and replacement of the air bag system in 2018. The air bag warning light has come on in 2019, 2021 and again 2022. All since the air bag recall of Summer 2018. No issues with the air bag system prior to the recall and replacement, but plenty since the replacement. This occurs upon the initial startup of the car.
Sometime in the last 3 or 4 months the air bag light came on and would not go off. Took car to garage nov. 24,2020 to repair the light and was informed that the air bags needed to be replaced. The garage informed me that there was a recall for airbags by nissan covering the time frame my car was built . Nissan rejected the recall repair because the air bags installed in my car were not tikata brand air bags. It would seem reasonable that all air bags used in nissan versa vehicles during the recall period should be included in the recall and replaced whatever the brand and not limited to only the takata brand.
Takata recall I took my car in for air bag repairs which are reported to have been completed. My air bag lights are still on. I am being told this is not related to the recall but may result in the air bags not being deployed if there was an accident. The light is constantly on and the car has not been in accident since the air bag lights have been on.
Takata recall. We were unable to get the recall fixed until march 16th as parts weren't available. We took it in on fri the 16th and got both airbags replaced under the recall. As we were leaving the shop, the airbag light came on and was flashing. We thought it was just resetting after the service. We called the shop and they had us bring it in today the 21st to get it fixed. They now claim that it had nothing to do with them and that we owe money to get it fixed. That light did not come on until they messed with the airbags for the recall. We strongly feel that something they did when servicing the car made the light come on. They said since it wasn't their cause, we would have to pay to fix it. I refuse to pay for something they caused.
Takata recall of passenger side airbag. The airbag light constantly flashes, we have received notice on this vehicle recall several times in the mail. Last year we took it to hunt nissan in chattanooga ,tennessee and were told they could not get part to repair airbag. That same dealership is no east chattanooga nissan I spoke with chris, service manager on monday november 27, 2017, who verified that the part will not be in until the spring , which is very unacceptable. The car has not been in an accident yet, but 2 year old grand
In may 2017 I have experienced airbag indicator light flashing my dashboard of nissan versa versa 2010. I have scheduled an appointment at nissan service center, where I was first notified that there is pending passenger airbag recall (did not receive any notification from nissan about that). The passenger airbag was replaced under the recall at no charge but the airbag light was still present. At that particular point, nissan service did not want to perform any more inspections for free so I was charged $160.00 to get advice on flashing airbag light (repair order 1 attached). At this moment I was given an estimate of approximately $1500-1600 to get the driver seat airbag fixed. I decided to go for it (even though that it was almost half of the value of my car). My car was repaired one week later (after 2 times replacing the airbag and modules on driver seat) as the parts appear to be defective. I was without the car for about 10 days. I received notification from nissan directly in october about a recall on drivers airbag. I have contacted premier nissan of san jose, where my repair was being done to claim a refund of $1,481.68 for the repairs I was not responsible to pay. They told me to contact consumer affair and nissan directly for a refund. The service provider stated that all repairs which were done in june need to be replaced again once new parts are available, therefore I need to be eligible for a refund. The airbag still needs to be replaced in march when new parts are available.
