2011 Nissan Versa airbags complaints

On september 8, 2016, I was driving and all of a sudden the car's steering violently pulled to the right and when I tried to correct it, the car then turned all of the way to the left, causing the car to roll over several times. Although I had my seat belt on, the pre-tensioners didn't fire to keep me from moving around and hitting my head. None of the airbags went off either, not even the ones on the driver's side curtain where the car was damaged. Afterwards, I went to the doctor and a chiropractor because I hurt my back, neck and my head. I also got a lawyer because I had not done anything wrong while driving. The steering problem just came out of nowhere. Nissan, takata, tkh and my lawyer inspected the car in march and found that none of the air bags went off, the seat belt pre-tensioners didn't activate, the car's vehicle speed sensor had a fault code, the car's intake air temperature sensor had a fault code and nissan's engineer that was there was unable to access the power steering module with his machine. Next, we found out that the electronic power steering system can shut down due to excessive steering at slow speeds. That is bad because nissan had a technical service bulletin that said that the car can pull to one side even when aligned based on nissan's requirements. This means that the reason people have had steering problems is because of the car's design, nissan's alignment requirements and the car needing to be aligned differently. Also the intake air temperature sensor can cause a car to surge and sputter, this can be why people have had problems with acceleration. There is no reason why the seat belt pretensioners didn't protect me. I also believe that the speedometer recall may be due to the vehicle speed sensor problem. My car was totaled and these things need to be investigated.
Passenger air bag recall was fixed but air bag light is still blinking. Dealer says problem is now with driver side. Dealer says we must pay to have it analyzed and then pay for what ever is wrong with it. To me an airbag is an airbag no matter what side. Tv news shows driver side airbags blowing up. It should be a recall as well.
I was driving my versa like always getting back home and then the air bag signal appear on my dash without any reason
I do not know if it is a takata recall. However, I was notified of the recal back in september/october of 2016. It is now may 2017. Shouldn't there have been a remedy to correct this issue by now?

Just driving one day and airbag light comes on, flashing on and off. The dealer tells me that the spiral cable assembly, caused from pinched wires in steering column went out and driver's side airbag will not work. Took the car to the dealer yesterday and will have to pay for repair. I saw a fb post that the federal safety agency is investigating that problem on 2012 versa. Are there any recalls and does it include 2011 versa? Any suggestions?

Awaiting repair of the takata passenger-side airbag, I noticed on the federal safety agency website that nissan had published a fix for the issue. I drove to my local dealership this morning to start the repair process but I'm told that there's no recall on my vehicle (despite proof that I'm in the first of three groups listed for dealers). So I'm more aware of nissan's documented recall than nissan itself?
Takata, this car has a passenger airbag recall. We got the recall notice sometime last year in march.since the I have call the dealer many time and all the can tell me is that they don't have the parts in yet. I just can t believed that they take more than a year to get these parts in.it has been a big inconvenience that when I want take a trip with my family and not being able to go cause of this recall,. Don't think I will buy nissan car ever again.
Takata recall in july 2016, I received a letter from nissan advising me of the takata passenger airbag recall. Continued exposure to areas with high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front passenger air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally. I called in sept - they told me I would get another letter in oct for the fix. I called in nov - they told me I would get another letter in dec for the fix. I called in jan - they told me I would get another letter in mar for the fix. It's now april 2017, still no fix. I live in south florida with high levels of humidity at times. I can't have anyone in my car, and risk driving my car everyday. It's been 10 months. What is their obligation here?

Takata recall: I was not informed about this recall until a bare mention in january, 8 months into the recall. Since repair is not available, it requires me to keep front passenger seat empty, and I was not told this. The recall has been extant for a year, I cannot use the front seat, and no repair is still available. This makes my car significantly less useful for my family.
It has been nearly a year since I was told not to use my passenger seat because the airbag could explode and harm or kill the passenger. It the airbag goes off with just a driver, it could easily cause a crash, harming or killing the driver and others. I live in florida, ultra high humidity, which is the worse condition for the airbags. Now I am stuck with a reduced use vehicle, the value is reduced because who wants to buy a car when you can't use parts of it, or any of it,safely. We are constantly told the airbags are not available, but miraculously they are still building cars with airbags. If the car makers or our own government cared, there should be a short deadline when after a certain date, they could no longer sell cars until all dangerous problem vehicles are corrected . This is outrageous that this is allowed to happen.

Takata recall I received a recall notice for my vehicle but the parts simply are not available. The dealership says it is a manufacturer issue and that they have no control over it. Do we have to wait until someone gets hurt and we have to sure before something is done? We have two vehicles that need recalls done. How do I get this taken care of?
My husband was exiting the indiana toll road on the ramp to pay tolls. As he was driving his air concentrator fell. When he reached for the concentrator he ran off the ramp, hit a sign, then bounced back hitting another vehicle. The airbags did not deploy yet he hit hard enough that the seatbelts left very clear bruising, his shoulder was causing pain as well as his lower back which received compression fractures from the belt. He as taken to the area hospital by ambulance and is in treatment as of today. Our concern is the fact that the airbags did not deploy even though the force of the crash completely shattered the windshield and the front and rear ends of the car were badly damaged causing the versa to be a total loss.
Takata recall this recall for this specific vehicle was initiated may 23, 2016 it is now feb 7th 2017. When will the parts be made available to effect the required repair?

I have a complaint due to the fact that nissan never notified me of the passenger airbag issue per the VIN number submitted per the federal safety agency website. My VIN is [xxx] and nissan was fully aware of how to contact me due to I've recently satisfied the loan which was financed on the vehicle directly for nissan. I'd like to know whether or not I will in fact be notified once nissan does have a remedy per the recall information noted related to the takata airbag. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
