Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 nissan versa. The contact complained that a stranger, without a mask, knocked on her door and hung a note on the door handle, asking her to call him back for urgent air bag recall. The contact called the mckinney nissan dealer, located at: 3800 s central expy, mckinney, tx 75069 and was told that they did not send anyone. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the federal safety agency mandated them to do so through a third party and that the manufacturer paid for the service. The contact was referred to the federal safety agency. The contact, however, stated that she received a recall, the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v008000 (air bags) and already scheduled appointment with the above dealer. The VIN was unavailable.

Prior to being apart of the takata inflator recall, I did not realize that citizens could report erroneous and dangerous part failures in their automobiles prior to a dangerous incident. Having gone through the takata recall, I am now a more aware consumer and want to report an incident involving failing door assemblies on nissan versa hatchback's. The right front door lock actuator failed on my 2010 nissan versa hatchback several years after ownership. It is unclear if this happened during or after driving, but it was discovered when the car was stationary. I have been told by nissan that the door latch assembly needs to be replaced in order for the hatch back door in the rear to open. The unlock signal even when the doors are unlocked is not being sent to the tailgate. A failure to design and manufacture high-quality door latch is not a consumer or customer error. Additionally, other auto company's like ford have recalled their door assemblies, because any weakness in a door assembly can cause the door to open while driving and poses a risk to the passengers or drivers. Ford stated that "should a customer be able to open and close the door with these conditions, the door may appear closed, but the latch may not fully engage the door striker with the potential that the door could open while driving, increasing the risk of injury." the federal safety agency needs to look into the nissan actuator issue. It is a risk for people riding and driving nissans and also a liability to the company.

I opened my drivers door, the handle came completely off. The drivers door will not open from inside either. It sounds like it still works but nothing happens when you try to open it from the inside. The key will not open it, no outside door handle, possible interior plastic\electrical components broken. Vehicle still runs and drives fine. Powertrain is intact. Interior is falling apart due to cheap construction. Looked online to the nissan forum board and saw many other people with same problem with door handles breaking for no apparent reason. Car is only equipped with one key entry on drivers side only. Keyfob and security system starting to break down. Went to nissan dealership in steven point wi and they will only fix if I have money to repair. Ford dealership in wisconsin rapids where I bought the car said that the warranty does not cover this. Repair could cost me over $700+.

My 2010 nissan versa 4 door hatchback with manual door locks: only the driver side door can be unlocked from the outside. I had to wait 3 hours before being able to access my car because a van was parked to close on the driver side.
