TAKATA INFLATORS - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION SOMETIME DURING MID SUMMER 2016, FOR NHTSA RECALL 16V-349 FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN INC. I WAS INFORMED OF THE DEFECT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER INDICATED THAT NISSAN WAS "AWAITING PARTS TO REMEDY THE AFFECTED VEHICLES". I WAS TO BE SENT A SECOND LETTER WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND ARRANGE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIRS. DURING THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2016 MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND WE INQUIRED AS TO WHEN THEY THOUGHT PARTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. WE WERE TOLD THE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE ANY TIME AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM ONCE THEY WERE AVAILABLE. TODAY I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. I WAS TOLD THAT REPAIRS SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN MADE TO MY VEHICLE, TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND IF THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE AND MAKE REPAIRS TO CONTACT THEM AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER, NISSAN OF MCKINNEY (TEXAS) AND WAS PUT ON HOLD TO SEE IF THEY COULD SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS, AND CAME BACK AND IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED REPAIRS FOR NEXT WEEK. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT A SAFETY RECALL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL, WAS SO POORLY EXECUTED BY BOTH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, WHO FAILED TO SEND OUT THE SECOND LETTER THE ORIGINAL NOTIFICATION INDICATED WOULD BE SENT, AND THE DEALER WHO SO DEFTLY IGNORED ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON FOLLOWING THROUGH ON EVEN CONTACTING US ABOUT PARTS, WHEN WE HAD QUERIED THEM SO RECENTLY. WE BOUGHT THE 2007 VERSA NEW AND IT IS STILL REGISTERED IN THE SAME NAMES, AT THE SAME ADDRESS AND EVEN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED AT THE SAME SELLING DEALER. I CONSIDER THIS SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN A COMPLETELY FAILURE ON THE PARTS OF BOTH NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN AND MCKINNEY NISSAN.

I WAS IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. I WAS BRAKING, ALMOST AT A STOP OR MOVING AT 2 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AND DOOR OF MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA WITH THE FRONT END OF HIS VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY NISSAN VERSA DEPLOYED AND A PIECE OF METAL STRUCK MY STERNUM FRACTURING SAME. I ALSO HAD TWO HEMATOMAS ON MY RIGHT BREAST AS A RESULT OF THE METAL STRIKING MY CHEST WITH EXTREME FORCE.. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT AN INTERSECTION OF TWO CITY STREETS, NOT HIGHWAYS. I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT GOING WEST AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT GOING SOUTH. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 MPH. THE AIRBAG IN THE 2008 NISSAN VERSA DEPLOYED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE METAL PIECE WAS EXPOSED AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED MY INJURIES. I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 2008 NISSAN VERSA, DATED MARCH OF 2016, FOR THE FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS..UPDATED 10/13/16 *BF *TR

REGARDING RECALL: NHTSA 15V-573 FOR FRONT COIL SPRINGS. I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL FOR FRONT COIL SPRINGS. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE RECALL GOING INTO EFFECT, I HAD ALREADY HAD MY COIL SPRINGS REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THEM CRACKING. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST OF THE WORK I ALREADY PAID FOR TO REPLACE THE SPRINGS. TOTAL COST TO ME WAS $635.68 FROM MY LOCAL MECHANIC, BRUCES AUTOMOTIVE IN EAST AURORA, NY. I SUBMITTED A STATEMENT FROM BRUCES THAT INDICATES THE COIL SPRINGS WERE REPLACED AND PAID FOR BY ME (ATTACHED). I SUBMITTED THIS INFORMATION TO NISSAN, THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE COIL SPRINGS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL FACTOR SPRINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND THAT NISSAN IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPRINGS IN MY VERSA, THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO DO IT ANYWAY. TO ME, THIS IS A WASTE OF MY TIME. I SIMPLY WANT THEM TO REIMBURSE ME THE $635 I ALREADY SPENT PRIOR TO THE RECALL TO HAVE THE SPRINGS REPLACED. IF THE SPRINGS IN MY CAR BRAKE AGAIN, THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, NOT NISSAN. I ONLY WANT TO GET REIMBURSED THE MONEY I ALREADY SPENT.

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER HAS NO ANSWER AS TO WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO USE 100% OF MY CAR. I DID NOT PURCHASE A 3 PASSENGER CAR, I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR USE BY 4 PASSENGERS. IN MAY, I WAS TOLD EARLY SUMMER. NOW AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER THEY ARE SAYING "SOMETIME IN THE FALL OF 2016". IF I CANNOT SAFELY USE 25% OF MY CAR FOR MY FAMILY, THEN NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR OUR USE OR SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. I CALLED NISSAN AGAIN TODAY, 09/26/2016 AND STILL CANNOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO AVAILABILITY OF THE RECALL REMEDY.
