Takata recall - pending parts availability for replacement. The driver's side airbag needs to be replaced however nissan indicates the parts will not be available until first or second quarter of 2018. The manufacturer and the dealer have offered no assistance with a loaner. Nissan indicated we can submit an expense for a rental car, but there is no guarantee it will be reimbursed. This is completely unacceptable.

Takata recall: I've been trying to get a loaner vehicle and none of the nissan dealerships in central florida or even in south florida have rentals. I escalated my case to the consumers affairs dpt at nissan corp and they have not helped at all. They can't offer any loaners, no rentals. They are only offering to "review" any receipts I may have for rentals, but they will not be guaranteed to be reimbursed. Dealerships do not know what is going on. Some employees said parts will be here in weeks, but know I know parts will not arrive until spring 2018. I am moving and they won't even pay for my car to be transported from central florida to south florida. Nissan consumer's affair dpt. Said they won't cover those costs. They are offering no help to have safe cars on the road, much less to protect drivers lives. Nissan corp., responded "they can't dictate what dealerships can or not do because they are independently owned" when I asked why they are not collaborating with dealerships to provide more rentals to costumers affected by the takata recalls. I've been dealing with this situation for weeks. I don't know what else to do.

To whom it may concern: I recently called my nearest nissan dealer and asked the representative if I am able to get a loaner car because I no longer feel safe driving after receiving a safety recall letter in the mail. He responds by saying yes just come on in and fill out the paper work for it. Shortly after hanging up I head to the dealer, I get there and let the service representative know why I'm there. Soon after he scheduled me to come in when I have my insurance transferred over to the loaner vehicle. Come to find out that I needed full coverage transferred to the loaner vehicle which I don't have with my current insurance. However, I still have insurance. I recall the guy saying to me that once I get the loaner vehicle, I can no longer drive my nissan versa 2010 that has been recently recalled. Not only are you guys risking my life but also now my insurance isn't good enough. For one, its on nissan's fault that my current isn't safe for me to drive and now I have to pay for nissan's mistake. When with my current vehicle my current insurance is perfect should not have to suffer or pay out of pocket any money at all. This is nissan's problem and they need to fix it because if I do get into my car and lets say I get I get into a car accident I will sue. My safety and my money is something I take very seriously so I need this issue to be resolved as soon as possible.
Takata recall received recall letter which said parts would be available spring 2018 and to see our local nissan dealer if we needed loaner vehicle. Went to somersworth nissan and the service manager said he had no loaner vehicles available. He told us if there was a problem the airbag malfunction light would be on. It didn't say that in the recall letter. He said the only thing he could do for us would be t leave our car there and when he got a chance they would look at it to see if it would be dangerous to drive. I asked him if they would look at it today and e said no they didn't have time. We have to go to work tomorrow so we'll be driving the recalled car because even though we did everything we were told to do in the recall letter we couldn't get any help. I've tried contacting nissan north america to ask them if the car is safe to drive and have been on hold for over two hours. No one is answering the phone there.

Hello I just received the federal safety agency recall 17v‑449 for my nissan versa hatchback VIN [xxx]. I am the original owner. I have parked the vehicle and it will not be moved until the repairs are made. However nissan says it will take 8 months until parts are available. You people at the federal safety agency are part of the recall and you allow is! This is not acceptable. How could you allow a company 8 months to correct a deadly problem. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Air bags can explode due to humidity and faulty parts
I have contacted 3 different nissan dealers in fresno, clovis, merced and none of them no anything about the recall notice I received. What's more ridiculous is it cannot be fixed until spring of 2018! This is a defect with the driver side airbag that can cause death. I need to be in a rental care until this can be fixed. Notice received in mail 9/21/17.

Takata recall. I received my first notice the federal safety agency recall 16v349 early in 2017. It was a preliminary letter to advise of the problem with the defective airbags and nissan was waiting for parts to fix the vehicles. Then I got a second letter and it instructed me to call my local nissan dealer and have the car serviced. I took my car in today, 8/15/17 and after waiting for two hours, was told they would not service just the passenger airbag and that I have to wait until 2018 when they get the other part. Knowing the danger here, I want to have the passenger airbag fixed immediately! If something tragic were to happen, nissan would be responsible and liable since you put me on notice and then don't correct the problem. I would like to be contacted immediately.

7 months ago in dec.2016 I got the takata airbag notice and called nissan of burlingame,ca. They have told me for all 7 months that they have no idea when the parts for repalcement will be available. I have had a toyota airbag replaced at the same dealership for the takata airbag. What can you recommend ?
Received a recall notice of airbags self deploying and advised to not use passenger seat. I have called repeately for updates none available, now I can't through 800 number. Not using passenger seat creates a hardship my spouse is disabled making it extremely challenging to only use back seat when going to appointments or just daily living errands. I just need to know what is going on or what can I do to get help or a loaner car. I paid for my call in full and nissan now is dragging their feet. Please help! I received the noticewell over a year ago.

Takata recall. It has been nearly 11 months since I received the first recall notice, and I am still waiting for the 2nd letter informing me that the parts are available. That does not fit the recall being done in a timely manner. My transportation costs are higher because I have to use a less fuel efficient vehicle.
