TAKATA RECALL (NHTSA RECALL 16V-349) - MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DENIED VEHICLE OWNER'S REQUEST TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REPAIRED. THE REQUEST WAS BASED ON POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK POSED BY THE SUBJECT DEFECT TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS USED/DRIVEN. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THE DEFECT MAY RESULT IN "METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK. THE VEHICLE OWNER'S ONLY RECOURSE IS TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN THE NEED TO USE IT. THEREFORE, I REQUEST THAT NHTSA REQUIRE NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO PROVIDE A FREE LOANER VEHICLE TO THE OWNER OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REPAIRED.

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

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.

I RENTED A CAR FROM DOLLAR CAR RENTAL. AS I WAS DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE RENTAL CAR AND THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF MY CORRESPONDENCE. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST. I HAVE ASKED THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY FOR CAR MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO HELP DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE OR A TIRE ISSUE. WHEN I RENTED THE CAR, IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES. I LOOK FORWARD TO UNDERSTANDING HOW I FILE A REPORT OF THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED MY FIRST NOTICE FROM NISSAN. THESE IDIOTS TELL ME I HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE BEFORE THEY CAN GET THE PERTS. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM TOLD TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IF I AND ANYONE ELSE IN THIS CAR ARE IN MORTAL DANGER, WHY THE HELL CAN'T THEY REMOVE THIS AIRBAG NOW?

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 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.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM NISSAN STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NISSAN DOES NOT PROVIDE LOANER CARS AND WILL NOT PAY FOR RENTAL CARS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE NEEDED REPAIR WORK WON'T BE IN UNTIL LATE SEPT./EARLY OCT. I NEED MY CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND FOR DRIVING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL, ETC. I DO NOT HAVE A SECOND CAR, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT A CAR AND PAY FOR THAT. NISSAN INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE MY CHILD SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BUT IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, AS THE DRIVER, I WILL BE SITTING INCHES FROM POSSIBLY FLYING METAL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISAN IS NOT PROVIDING MORE ASSISTANCE WITH THIS VERY SERIOUS RECALL. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT I HAVE AN OLDER CAR (MY CAR IS OVER TEN YEARS OLD) AND SO THE RISK IS GREATER, THE SUPERVISOR AT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. SHOULDN'T CAR MANUFACTURERS PROVIDE LOANER CARS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE "TICKING TIME BOMBS" IN THEIR CARS? HOW CAN NISSAN EXPECT ME TO JUST STOP DRIVING MY CAR? HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO GET TO WORK EVERY DAY?
