NHTSA Complaint #11073856 — 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER

TAKATA RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 AND WAS NOT ADVISED OF THE RECALL ISSUED MAY 14, 2015 AT TIME OF PURCHASE. IN DECEMBER OF 2017 I WAS WAITING TO PULL OUT ONTO LONG POND RD AND AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE AND SLAM MY DRIVER TAIL LIGHT SIDE INTO A MOUND CAUSING TAIL LIGHT TO BUST AND DENT IN SIDE PANEL AT TAIL LIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE WILL RETURN MY CALLS OR ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER. ALL I WANT IS MY AIR BAGS REPLACED AND THE TAIL LIGHT FIXED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO SET THE AIR BAGS OFF AS I WAS CLEARLY STOPPED AND HAD JUST PULLED ONTO STREET. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE OF MY YOUNG AGE NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. I WAS 20 WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT IS MY FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE EVER.
