A RECALL WAS DONE ON THE FRONT SPRING COILS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE RECALL COMPLETED ONLY TO FIND OUT MY BACK SPRING COILS ARE ALSO DAMAGED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE FRONT CAN BE RECALLED AND THE BACK COILS ARE ALSO DEFECTED THE REASONING WHY THEY ARE NOT UNDER A RECALL.

TAKATA AIRBAG? I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO DATE BUT I HAVE A FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. I'VE BEEN TOLD VARIOUS PRICES FOR INITIAL SCANS AND DIAGNOSIS, BUT WITH ALL THE TAKATA ISSUES AND THIS BEING AN IMPORTED VEHICLE MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN I BELIEVE SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE I'M SUBJECTED TO THE TIME AND EXPENSE. I'VE BEEN TOLD WITH A FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT THE SYSTEM IS INACTIVE AND LESS SAFE. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE

I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND WENT TO CONTINENTAL NISSAN 5750 S LA GRANGE RD COUNTRYSIDE IL ON JULY 11, 2016. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IF THEY BELIEVE CORRODED PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR COST. I SPOKE TO [XXX] MY CASE #[XXX], SHE BEING A REPRESENTATIVE OF NISSAN ASSURED ME AS THE LETTER STATES: "THIS REPAIR IS FREE OF CHARGE FOR PARTS AND LABOR." THE DISCREPANCY FORCED ME TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT REPAID. TWO ADDITIONAL CALLS WERE PLACED TO [XXX] ON 7/11/2016 ASKING FOR COORDINATION WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO WAIT THREE WEEKS IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO ANY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS DISABLED WITH A BROKEN COIL SPRING AND HAS BEEN TOWED WITHOUT REPAIR. A SEVEN YEAR OLD VEHICLE EXPOSED TO ILLINOIS WINTERS SHOULD HAVE CORRODED PARTS. I REVIEWED THE PART COST THROUGH NISSAN WITH MY VIN AND THE COIL SPRING COST IS ROUGHLY $5.63 OR $6.00. THE ADDITIONAL PARTS WITHIN THE FRONT SUSPENSION VARY FROM $11.51 THROUGH $354.20. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED A HALF DAY OF LABOR IN ADDITION TO COST OF THE SUSPENSION PARTS. THE RECALL LETTER SAYS APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS FOR REPAIR AT NO COST. WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL? THE FACT THAT THE RECALL CAME 7 YEARS AFTER THE 2009 MANUFACTURED CAR IS VERY CONCERNING. I ASK THAT THE CAR BE TOWED AT NISSAN'S COST AND REPAIRED AT NISSAN'S COST IMMEDIATELY! I IMAGINE THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE RUN INTO THIS ISSUE AND WONDER IF A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS NECESSARY TO PROMPT THE MANUFACTURER TO DO AS THEY STATE IN WRITING AND OVER THE PHONE. I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION OF CURRENT PRACTICES OF PROCESS AND POLICIES. I BELIEVE MY HUMAN RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED BASED ON THE IMPACT OF THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SERVICES. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE FAILED VIRGINIA SATE INSPECTION CITING BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT BALL JOINTS NEEDING REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS ODD THAT BOTH BALL JOINTS HAVE FAILED AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. WITH NISSANS RECALL OF OTHER PARTS OF THE FRONT END THIS SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER PART FAILURE.
