Takata recall-in early 2017, we rec'd a safety recall from nissan no. America re: potential rupturing of the front passenger air bag inflator. The mailer said that nissan was waiting for parts & should be avail. April 2017. The car was with our son at college. We told him do not drive w- passenger in front seat. Sept 25, 2017, we rec'd a 2nd notice-stating that parts were avail to repair front passenger airbag + an add'l recall 17v‑449 was in effect for the driver side, parts not avail until spring 2018. We will get the repair done & there is an option for getting a loaner car, but for 9 months, our son & other family members have been driving this car, not knowing that the driver side was just as dangerous as the passenger side. I do not understand how nissan (the federal safety agency) could not confirm the same issue on both front airbags & notify us of the danger back in jan 2017. We have not been in an accident in this car, but the fact that 9 months later we are finding out that our son, and other family members, should not have been driving this car at all is shocking and horrifying.

Takata recall - not taken care of
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 nissan versa. The contact stated that the horn failed to function properly and, months later, the air bag indicator illuminated. The dealer (autocom nissan of concord, 1290 concord ave, concord, ca 94520, (925) 275-5634) stated that further diagnostic testing was required. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for a response to determine the solution for the repair. The failure mileage was not available.
I was notified months ago that my car was recalled because sensor pins may have deteriorated and that closing car door could cause unexpected deployment of airbags with injury or death as a result. I cannot get definitive information from the dealership and my letter of complaint to the federal safety agency dated 5/30/17 has not been acknowledged or answered. I am quite upset at the prospect of myself and/or a passenger being killed or injured by flying shrapnel if my sensors designed with incompatible metals are compromised. I am even more upset that I am forced to drive this timebomb and that I am unable to find out when this horrible situation will be rectified. The whole process is unsettling, disgusting, and frustrating especially since I am forced to feel stressed every time I drive and every time I try to get information let alone repair. Who cares? My family does!
Upon starting vehicle one day in may 2017, airbag alert began to flash while driving. After looking into current recalls using the VIN, I learned of an airbag recall that applied to my vehicle. I took my vehicle to an authorized nissan service center to have the airbag issue corrected. I picked up my vehicle and was told that the airbag recall issue had been serviced. After driving off the nissan service light I noticed the airbag sensor still flashing so drove back to ask about the alert. I was then told that I didn't have functioning airbags, if I got into an accident they would not deploy. Only because I returned and questioned the service team, did I find out that this airbag issue was still present. The nissan service team denied responsibility of fixing the issue or even looking into it to see if it may be related to the airbag defect. Since malfunctioning airbags could result in serious injury or death, I think this issue should be investigated. The nissan service team completely neglected to inform me of nonfunctional airbags before returning my vehicle to me and I find this issue very alarming.
