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

SUSPENSION
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. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG? I CANNOT TAKE MY FAMILY ANYWHERE IN ONE VEHICLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND I CANNOT LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. I LIVE IN AUGUSTA, GA. HUMIDITY IS LIFE HERE AND I AM SO UPSET THAT THIS IS TAKING SO LONG AND I FEEL LIKE I WILL BE HURT EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR. I WORKED HARD FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT USE IT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE THAT I PURCHASED IT FOR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM NISSAN IN JULY 2016. JUST RECENTLY (SEPTEMBER 2016) WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE PARTS NEEDED TO PERFORM THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR US TO COME IN. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND WHILE SHE WAITED ONE OF THE WORKERS CAME OUT AND SAID THEY CAN'T DO THE WORK BECAUSE THEY GOT A NOTICE FROM NISSAN CORPORATE SAYING TO ONLY FIX CARS THAT ARE REGISTERED IN FLORIDA, USA. I CALLED NISSAN DIRECT TO COMPLAIN. A CASE NUMBER WAS OPENED AND I WAS TOLD SOMEONE FROM CORPORATE WOULD CONTACT ME IN A FEW DAYS. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET. NOW I AM FORCED TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHEN THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND WE REGULARLY NEED ALL 5 SEATS FOR THE VOLUNTEER WORK THAT WE DO. IF THIS PART DOES NOT NEED REPLACED, THEN I WANT A WRITTEN NOTICE FROM NISSAN SAYING THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AT FULL CAPACITY, OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE NEEDS TO OFFERED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DRIVER SIDE CLOCK SPRING HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS ALL OF THE AIR-BAGS IN THE CAR. NONE WORK. THIS WAS DETECTED ONLY AFTER THEY HAD WORKED ON THE PROBLEM FOR A VERY MINOR DEFECT. THE TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I WENT OVER THE DEPRESSIONS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD TO PASS A CAR AND THE TIRE PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON. NOW NONE OF THE POWER WINDOWS WORK. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH A CAR THAT IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD.

I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM NISSAN. THE REASON FOR RECALL IS AS STATED - "CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO AREAS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING TO RUPTURE AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." WHAT YOU SHOULD DO, AS STATED IN THE LETTER - "ONCE YOU RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO REPAIR LETTER, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NISSAN RETAILER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IN THE MEANTIME, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF YOU REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAG INFLATOR IN YOUR VEHICLE, CONTACT THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AT 1-800-647-7261. WELL WE WAITED AT LEAST 3 WEEKS WITH NO LETTER SO WE CALLED. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE UNTIL MAYBE SEPTEMBER, THEY ARE GOING TO BE MANUFACTURED. THE VERSA IS VERY SMALL AND THE DRIVER IS ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS IS A TERRIFYING PROSPECT THAT AIR BAG MAY EXPLODE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR WHICH I PAID $17,000 FOR IN 2008 AND I CANNOT CARRY PASSENGERS. NISSAN AND THE DEALER AT WEST HILLS NISSAN IN CORAOPOLIS, PA REFUSED US A LOANER/RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS CAR CPO AND THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS NEVER BLOWN COLD AIR. IT BLOWS ACCORDING TO THE CONTROLS, BUT THE AIR IS NEVER COLD. EVERY SUMMER I HAVE TO HAVE IT SERVICED. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SEVERAL THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH IT OR CAUSE THAT. SOMETIMES I'M TOLD IT'S SOMETHING NEW, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED IN THE PAST IS AGAIN/STILL WRONG WITH IT, CAUSING THIS. I'VE REPEATEDLY HAD IT SERVICED ONCE A YEAR (USUALLY IN SUMMER) SINCE PURCHASED. I'VE HAD IT CHARGED, FREON, HOSES REPAIRED, ETC. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR FAULT IN THIS CAR FOR ITS MODEL YEAR. THERE ARE MANY NISSAN VERSA DRIVERS FOR YEARS 2008 AND 09 IN MANY NISSAN DRIVER ONLINE FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. I'M CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SERVICE AGAIN THIS YEAR, ALTHOUGH THE A/C STILL DEFINITELY DOESN'T BLOW COLD AIR AT THE MOMENT. I THINK THESE MODELS SHOULD BE RECALLED.
