TAKATA RECALL I WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS RECALL BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO (SEPTEMBER 2017). I WAS TOLD THEN THAT THE RECALLED AIRBAG WOULD NOT BE RESOLVED UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OF 2018 ROUGHLY PLACING THE NEEDED RECALL 6 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. AN OFFER OF A LOANER CAR WAS MADE BUT THE QUESTION THEN WAS, "WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE AFFECTED VEHICLE?" I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT SIT IN MY GARAGE UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT COULD BE MADE. I DON'T THINK 6 MONTHS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RECALL NOTICE AND THE ACTUAL REPLACEMENT IS APPROPRIATE EVEN IF A LOANER CAR WAS OFFERED. THE REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN A MORE TIMELY FASHION. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE?

POWER TRAIN
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 62000 MILES ON IT. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT BEING RUN OVER BY THE SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY WITH ME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS 'DEFECTIVE' AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, I FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT AND ONE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ALREADY SETTLED OVER THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOT BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CORRECTION? THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT CHEAP, AND THOSE OF US PAYING FOR THEM DID NOT PURCHASE A DISPOSABLE VEHICLE!

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE A NISSAN VERSA 2008 AND WE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. WE JUST MOVED TO NEW JERSEY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. MY BOYFRIEND DANIIL WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN EDISON AND THEY REFUSED HIM A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE HE IS NOT 21 YEARS OLD. WE ARE 20. I THOUGHT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, THEY CAN'T JUST REFUSE IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO DO WITH OUR SAFETY? THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ME AND MY BOYFRIEND DROVE TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN IN HAMILTON, NJ. A LADY NAMED MCKAYLA DID THE PAPERWORK FOR US, EVERYTHING WAS SET AND THEN SHE SAID "OH WAIT YOU'RE NOT 21 YET, I CAN'T LOAN YOU A CAR." SHE SAID TO CALL THE SERVICE ASSIST LINE TO FURTHER ASSIST US. SO WE CALLED THE LINE, AND TURNS OUT THE GUY THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO DOESN'T WORK ON THE WEEKENDS. SO IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD'VE WENT OFF DURING THE WEEKEND AND WE DIED, THEN WHAT? I CALLED MCKAYLA ON MONDAY AND SHE TOLD US IF WE COULD FIND A COMPANY THAT WOULD RENT US THE CAR, NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR IT. SO I CALLED HERTZ IN NEW YORK SINCE THEIR LEGAL AGE TO RENT A CAR IS 18, AND THEY AGREED TO RENT US A CAR BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF STATE. IF NISSAN SCREWED UP WITH THESE RECALLS, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND PAY THE NECESSARY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. WE WENT BACK TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WENT TO THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE TO SPEAK TO HIM. HE SAID THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. LAST TIME I CHECKED, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE 21 TO OWN A NISSAN. LAST TIME I CHECKED, THERE WAS NOWHERE IN THE PAPERWORK WHEN BUYING A NISSAN THAT STATES: "IN THE CASE OF A RECALL, IF YOU'RE NOT 21 AND OVER YOU WILL BE LEASED A LOANER CAR TILL WE FIX YOUR CAR" SO THEN WHY IS THIS SUCH AN ISSUE? I'M SO SCARED THAT ON OUR WAY TO WORK OR ON OUR WAY HOME THE AIR BAGS WILL GO OFF AND WE WILL DIE.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2017, I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED NEAR THE END OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I COULDN'T EVEN STEER. IT SCARED ME! I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND TURNED THE KEY. IT STARTED BUT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO WORK SO I WENT BACK HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY: P2138. I WAS TOLD IT HAD THE WRONG APP SENSOR RATIONALITY SIGNAL. THE MECHANIC WAS ADVISED BY THE NISSAN DEALER TO TELL ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE PART WAS REPLACED AS THE CAR COULD SHUT DOWN ANYTIME, ANYPLACE WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. I DID AS I WAS TOLD AND LEFT MY CAR AT THE SHOP UNTIL MY PART CAME IN AND WAS REPLACED.
