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.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT IN EXTREME HUMIDITY, I LIVE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA, THE AIRBAG COULD RUPTURE AND CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO STRIKE "OCCUPANTS " IN VEHICLE RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME TO REPAIR AIRBAG. YOU CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. LIKE OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE ALREADY DOING, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE, AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER, COMPARABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. I WAS DENIED THAT COURTESY AND FEEL THAT NISSAN IS PUTTING MONEY AHEAD OF SAFETY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET SATISFACTORY RECOURSE.

MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE ROARS AND SOUNDS LIKE A HELICOPTER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE MUFFLER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ATTRIBUTE IT TO ROCK SALT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE MATERIAL USED BY THIS MANUFACTURER AND/OR THEIR VENDOR IS NOT OF GOOD QUALITY. IF NOT ADDRESSED, THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND IT MUST BE RECALLED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THIS ISSUE TO NO AVAIL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VERSA SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART, AND THERE WAS NO SMELL OF FUEL ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESTARTING PROCESS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO PEP BOYS AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE POWER SUPPLY FUSES FOR THE FUEL PUMP AS THE CAUSES. THE VEHICLE HAD 46,000 MILES EXACTLY. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, THE HAZARDS WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLE..

TAKATA RECALL. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING WHEN CAR IS ON, WHETHER I'M SITTING STILL OR DRIVING. NISSAN WANTS $120 TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. I DON'T HAVE IT, AND DON'T FEEL I SHOULD PAY IT, AS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL, BUT MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. WHAT DO I DO?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AGO MY WIFE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE A/C NOT WORKING PROPRTLY. THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN YOU TURN THE ALARM ON THE HORN WOULD NOT BEEP LETTING YOU KNOW IT WAS ARMED. YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR TO GO TO WORK NOTHING WORKED OR CAME ON. MY WIFE BROUGHT HER VEHICLE OVER TO JUMP START IT. AS SOON AS THE JUMPER CABLES WERE HOOKED UP THE BATTERY ON THE VERSA EXPLODED AND THERE WAS ALOT OF SMOKE. NOW THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY CANT EVEN GET IT OUT OF GEAR TO MOVE IT. EVEN IF IT GETS FIXED MY WIFE IS NOW AFFRAID TO PUT OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON, HERSELF OR ME IN IT TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE BURNT SMELL FROM UNDER THE HOOD

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON MY 2011 VERSA OCCASIONALLY GOES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 3-4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS? I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT AND THEY SAID IT IS SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD TRY TO LIVE WITH SINCE IT IS SO RARE. THEY OFFERED NO SOLUTION OR A WAY FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS THAT THE POWER STEERING COULD GO OUT AT ANY TIME. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR A NISSAN PRODUCT? THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN?

I HAVE 42000 MILES ON MY CAR, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YESTERDAY MY MUFFLER STARTED RATTLING AND BEING EXTREMELY LOUD. I PARKED MY CAR AND IT WAS FINE, BUT WHEN I STARTED IT UP TO LEAVE WHERE I WAS IT WAS NOISY - VERY SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED. HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT IT, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE FLANGE BETWEEN MY MUFFLER AND THE MANIFOLD CRACKED CLEAN APART. NOT DUE TO RUST OR CORROSION AS IT IS A CLEAN BREAK. HE SAID IT APPEARED TO HIM THAT IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD WELD TO BEGIN WITH.

ENGINE
MY NISSAN HAS UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. I DRIVE IN NEW ENGLAND, ROADS ARE A BIT TOUGHER- HOWEVER MY MUFFLER IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND HANGING LOOSE FROM THE BODY OF MY CAR. MY RESONATOR PIPE SNAPPED AND I GOT A QUOTE FOR $931.75 FROM A LOCAL MEINEKE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ON A CAR THAT SHOULD STILL BE RUNNING EFFICIENTLY, I NOTICED IT WHILE DRIVING, GOT HOME AND PULLED OVER TO NOTICE THE MUFFLER WAS VERY VERY LOOSE

EXHAUST SYSTEM, REAR MUFFLER, POOR WELD AT FLANGE: VIRTUALLY NO RUST OR CORROSION BUT WELD BEAD SEPARATED FROM FLANGE CAUSING MUFFLER TO SHAKE AND MOVE AROUND AND COULD POSSIBLY SEPARATE AND FALL OFF VEHICLE. ALSO, THE LOOSE JOINT CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO NOT ALL GO OUT THE TAILPIPE TIP; WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS.
