NHTSA Complaint #10936733 — 2008 NISSAN VERSA

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED LAST SUMMER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG AND WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE A FAMILY THAT NEEDS RIDES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THAT NISSAN WASN'T ALLOWING THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TELL ME THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SOME TIME IN 2017. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RISK AND ARE NOT EXPEDITING THIS REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED. THEY BASICALLY GIVE ME THE IMPRESSION THEY DON'T CARE AND THEY ARE NOT IN A HURRY TO GET THIS DONE. I EXPECTED THIS POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW IN THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ASAP NOT WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPEDITED BECAUSE IF ANYTHING DOES OCCUR AND THEIR IS INJURY OR DEATH IT IS ON YOU AND NISSAN FOR NOT GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. I ALSO HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM WHICH I UNDERSTAND NOW IS A FEDERAL REGULATION TO HAVE EQUIPPED ON VEHICLES. THIS SYSTEM IS VERY FAULTY AND DOES NOT WORK AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I THINK IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO REQUIRE THIS THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THE EQUIPMENT IS RELIABLE AND NOT A HIGH COST TO REPAIR.
