2008 Nissan Versa Complaint Log

See attached document for complaint.

The contact owned a 2008 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that he had been receiving recall notifications of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22E066000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list because he no longer owns the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted.

I had not driven the car prior to noticing the air passenger light blinking and continuing to stay on. This is occurring whether someone is in the seat or not. Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Traffic stopped suddenly when I hit my brakes they failed to work and the airbags didn’t work either so I ended up hitting my head on the roof of the car when I ran into the truck that suddenly stopped in front of me at speed of about 50mph. I don’t feel good but have no way to get medical attention right now. And was just released from having some head trauma the day before the accident. My car was totaled in the accident so I don’t need additional recall information on it, and no insurance to fix it so now I don’t have any way to get a new car.

i have a recall for airbag, i made appointment with dealership. on August 16 2023, went to the appointment and it took 4h to replace and they gave me a report that its been fixed, they replaced both driver and passenger side airbag, and the airbag light is off (attached picture of report) when i took the car i noticed the airbag light is still on. i went back and told them the issue and they retook the car for inspection. i waited another 1h and they brought me an invoice that there is a cable from airbag to the car, this needs to be replaced and it cost 400$ without tax and without labor. my complain is that they pretended to replace and fix the airbag and they made sure there is no light on. upon taking the car i noticed it wasn't true. now they demand money for repair. i believe the dealership is not going to remedy the recall without charging

The contact owned a 2008 Nissan Versa. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 17V449000 (Air bags) and 16V349000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list since he no longer owns the vehicle. The local dealer and the manufacturer were contacted.

I park the Nissa Versa and I smell an over heating odor a lightly dense smoke appears over the hood. A thought comes to mind, “I just went to Jiffy Lube last week.” Suddenly two people are running towards yelling, “Fire, get out of the car.” I couldn’t believe it I was at a loss for words I couldn’t move until they literally opened the door. I started recording it. It’s insane I loved that car, it was payed off and it still looked nice. -it gets worse They tow the car to North Shore Towing. I report it to my insurance and the appraiser that attempted to see the car was not allowed access because I didn’t sign a release form so I go to the towing place and sign the release form. The appraiser goes for the second time and is refused entrance. Weeks went by so I call the insurance which informs me of the previous two failed entries to North Shore Towing. I ask the staff male on the phone why he didn’t allow the insurance agent entry to inspect vehicle I had signed the release form. The staff male literally laughs at me on over the phone. You want to know what component? Inspection? And today my friend mentions his car has been recalled and light bulb went on and here I am asking for your help. I have videos witnesses Also I have proof that of the signed document to release the car to insurance agent

I found a piece of a broken coil spring in my driveway (where multiple cars are parked) in NJ. A quick visual inspection of all the vehicles typically parked near that area did not show any sitting uneven or any obvious evidence of any with problems. A few weeks later, after driving approx 1000 miles on my nissan, I noticed that the front suspension seemed shorter and quicker to bottom-out. This was obvious when rolling over speed humps. Another, more in-depth inspection of the front springs revealed an unseated spring on the left front. The spring appears to have slipped off or through the bottom cup and is not centered on the strut. After looking the vehicle up on NHTSA site this appears to be related to Manufacturer Recall NumberPM565. The NJ vehicle is currently in NC. I plan to take it to a Nissan dealer to have the recall work performed.

About 6 months ago my driver air bag light came on. We toLd shortly after that their is a recall on that exact thing I have been but still get no. I am worried as it now is flashing instead of steady

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRING WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED COUNTY LINE NISSAN NORTH (522 WINSTED RD, TORRINGTON, CT 06790, (860) 482-5555) AND WAS INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED WITHOUT CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

TODAY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, CAR SLID AND ROLLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT 100% AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT THEY DID NOT. CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE IS RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR AIRBAGS BUT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE DATABASE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING / AIR BAGS RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED

NO SENSE QUE PASO PERO UN DIA NO ME ENCENDIO Y LET ENCONTRARON AGUA AL MOTOR

OUTER DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE CAME OFF.DEALER FIXED IT AND I PAID FOR REPAIR. HANDLE CAME ODD 4 DAYS LATER.I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IS BROKEN AND THE ADDITIONAL CHARGE WOULD BE 350.00. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I FIRST WENT TO DEALER. I AM REQUESTING THE HANDLE BE REPLACED BY DEALER NO CHARGE SINCE IT WAS NOT PROPERLY REPAIRED WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT IN.THAT PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN THEY INITIALLY SO FIXED IT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM FELL OUT VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS PRESUMABLY RUST/CORROSION WHILE PULLING OUT THE DRIVEWAY, THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM FRACTURED AND FELL OUT. VEHICLE REPAIRED BY AN UNKNOWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. VEHICLE NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 160,476.

THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW THE CORRECT GAS LEVEL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. EVERY DAY I START THE CAR THE GAS GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE, SO I RESTART THE CAR AND THEN THE GAS GAUGE WILL MOVE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS CORRECTLY SHOWING THE CORRECT GAS LEVEL.

VEHICLE IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS OUT! I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY CAR IT FLAT OUT DID NOT START NO ISSUES OR WARNING PRIOR TO IT NOT STARTING. I WAS STRANDED AT NIGHT WITH NO TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL - I CANNOT GET MY LOCAL DEALERS TO RETURN MY CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I CONTINUE TO GET WARNING NOTICES FROM NISSAN USA, BUT LOCAL DEALERS AVOID SCHEDULING RECALLS, ALWAYS SAYING THEY MUST "CONFER WITH THE PRODUCTION MANAGER TO ENSURE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE", THEY THEN PROMISE TO CALL BACK BUT NEVER DO. I HAVE LEFT PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAIL ADDRESSES AND NEVER HEARD FROM EITHER OF THEM. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THEY ARE STALLING ON THE FIXES HOPING THE OLDER CARS SIMPLY DIE AND GO TO THE GRAVEYARD FIRST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RUSS DARROW NISSAN OF MILWAUKEE (11212 W METRO AUTO MALL, MILWAUKEE, WI 53224, (414) 586-3050) TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. AFTER THE REPAIR, AN UNKNOWN SERVICE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES AND POSSIBLY THE AIR BAGS FAILED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A MONTH AND PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AGAIN, BUT HAD TROUBLE ACCELERATING OVER 30 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE INCREASED TO OVER 80 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO OTHER TIMES, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,401.

THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS ON NISSANS ARE UNSAFE. FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, OUR NISSAN VERSA WOULD BRIEFLY LOSE POWER WHEN WE STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY AND TEMPORARILY. THEN ON JULY 15, IT GOT MUCH WORSE. WE COULD BARELY DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD CONSTANTLY LOSE POWER. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED AS WE WERE TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR A COUPLE OF BLOCKS ON THE CITY STREETS. I AM THANKFUL THAT WE WERE NOT ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. WE LEARNED LATER THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR WAS TRYING TO START IN A HIGH GEAR INSTEAD OF A LOW GEAR. OUR 2008 NISSAN VERSA IS 6 WEEKS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE ARE BELOW THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENT OF THE WARRANTY AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS LIKELY BEEN GIVING US PROBLEMS FOR YEARS, NISSAN WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE ORDERING A RECALL ON THE CVT TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE OLDER MODELS. THEY KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY IS FLAWED AND UNSAFE, THAT'S WHY THEY CREATED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT IF YOU'RE JUST OUT OF THAT WARRANTY PERIOD, THEY WON'T HELP YOU OUT AS A CONSUMER. IF THEY PUBLICIZED THE CVT PROBLEM AND ORDERED A RECALL, THEY WOULD PREVENT HAVING UNSAFE CARS ON THE ROAD.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BENSON NISSAN (4676 CALHOUN MEMORIAL HWY, EASLEY, SC 29640, (864) 850-6440) SERVICED THE VEHICLE PER AN UNSPECIFIED MANUFACTURER AIR BAG RECALL CAMPAIGN. AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR, THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE CRUISE CONTROL AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS REQUIRED FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE RECALL REMEDY CAUSED THE FAILURES SINCE THERE WERE NONE PRIOR TO THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALLED SPRINGS, THEY WERE FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG, IT WAS FIXED. THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE AIRBAG AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR AND IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS TO FIX IT. HE SAID THE CAR WAS WORTH LESS THAN THE FIX WOULD COST.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK THEY WILL NOT COME OUT. KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION.

I WAS DRIVING JUST ABOUT TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY BUT AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE ON RAMP I SUDDENLY COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL AND CRASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON. MY CAR UNDERWENT EXTENSIVE DAMAGE ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE ALIGNMENT IS NOW VERY BAD. IT HAD TO SIT OVERNIGHT AND WHEN WE GOT BACK TO IT THE LIGHT WAS OFF. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. (MILES PER HOUR BELOW IS AN EST.) THIS JUST OCCURRED AND IN THE PROCESS WITH INSURANCE.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP--KOEPPEL NISSAN INC TO SCHEDULE MY CAR'S AIRBAG REPLACE ABOUT TWO MONTH AGO. NOW I STILL DID NOT KNOW WHEN MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED. THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS. IS IT NORMAL TAKE SO LONG TO GET A AIRBAG REPAIR?

THERE WERE 3 RECALLS ON MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA. TWO WERE FOR AIRBAGS AND 1 WAS FOR FRONT COILS/SPRINGS. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. NISSAN HAD ME DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN TO GET SERVICED, KNOWING THAT IT WAS A HAZARD TO MY LIFE. ON THE WAY TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED ONE COULD HEAR A LOUD POP, THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL AND WAS AT THEN ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE I DO NOT WISH TO TAKE A CHANCE OF INJURING MYSELF OR MY FAMILY.METAL FRAGMENTS CAN EXPLODE AND INJURE OR KILL PEOPLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY SON TO SCHOOL AND THEN GO TO WORK, PICK HIM UP EACH DAY, LIKE EVERY OTHER WORKING MOM. WHAT CAN I DO?

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR. I TOOK IT TO PLANET NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS, NV 12/13/16 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPAIR. I DECLINED AS IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN IN JULY 2017. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2017 AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL JULY 2018. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE THE PART TO BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2017, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA STATING MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS ON A RECALL LIST AND THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE SPRING 2018 AND I WOULD GET A SECOND LETTER WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SO I WAS GIVEN AT RENTAL CAR SINCE THEY WERE OUT OF LOANER CARS AT FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF RALEIGH, NC. WHICH IS GOOD. TWO WEEKS AGO I GOT A CALL FROM THE PARTS DEPT. OF FRED ANDERSON STATING THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG PART IS IN AND I SHOULD COME FOR A REPAIR, SO I ASKED IF THEY HAD AN OFFICIAL LETTER FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, BECAUSE I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER NOTIFYING ME OF THE PART BEING AVAILABLE. I ASKED HIM WHAT BRAND AND HE (ALEX) SAID TAKATA AND IT WAS A LIMITED SUPPLY. NOW THAT COMPANY AND ALL ITS HOLDINGS HAVE GONE BANKRUPT. I SAID I WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THEN I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEIR INTERNET SALES PERSON CHAD SUSAN STATING THAT I SHOULD BRING MY CAR IN AND TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR, SINCE THE RECALL PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018, THEY WOULD TAKE MY CAR NOW IF I WANTED TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW CAR. HMMMM SAME DEALERSHIP. THEN I GOT A CALL FROM LAUREN FROM SERVICE STATING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL PART IS IN. SO I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 11/10/17 ANS SPOKE TO BRIDGETTE AND SHE SAID THE RECALL PART IS NOT IN AND WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY LIMITED SUPPLY OF AIRBAGS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE RECALL. SHE SAID SHE WOULD OPEN A CLAIM AND A CLAIM REP,. WOULD CALL FROM A 615 NUMBER. SO I GOT A CALL FROM JACCO FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CLAIMS WHO STATED THAT HE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SERVICE DIRECTOR AND THEY HAD A LIMITED SUPPLY OF THE AIRBAGS. SO I ASKED JACCO TO SEND ME A LETTER OR AN EMAIL STATING THAT THEY INDEED HAVE A LIMITED SUPPLY OF AIRBAGS FOR THE RECALL PART AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT DO THAT. THIS IS ALARMING!!!!!! EVEN IF TAKATA!

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.

2008 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECALL INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDE DRIVING CAR TO DEALER SO THEY CAN SEE IT. THIS SEEMS COUNTERINTUITIVE SINCE THE AIRBAGS CAN KILL PEOPLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS AND THAT THEY WERE ONLY GETTING ONE OR TWO IN A MONTH FROM NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN JUNE OR JULY BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THEY WERE EXPECTING REGULAR SHIPMENTS OF THE PART. I CALLED DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW I'VE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PARTS UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. I'M VERY CONCERNED AND CONFUSED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND EVERY MAILING I RECEIVE SAYS HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN I'M TOLD THAT THERE ISN'T A POSSIBILITY TO FIX IT UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR?!?!

I TRY TO CALL NISSAN LIHUE ABOUT MY RECALL ON BEGIN OF OCTOBER NOT SURE THE DATE AND THEY SAID NO PART UNTIL AFTER SPRING. I SAID WHAT I SHOULD DO AND THEY SAID I NEED CALL MY INSURANCE FOR RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE PART COME. HOW CAN I RENT THE CAR FOR SO LONG AND JUST PARK MY CAR AND NOT MOVE THEM FOR A LONG. SO UPSET BUT I CAN NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE PART COME

TAKATA RECALL MY 18 YEAR DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. WE BROUGHT IT O THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A MINIMUM OF 8 MONTHS VERY THE DEFECT TO BE CORRECTED. A "LOANER CAR" WAS GIVEN TO US. THE PROBLEM IS MY DAUGHTER IS 18 AND THE DEALER WON'T LET HER DRIVE THE LOANER. SHE IS A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT AND WORKS 2 JOBS. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT SHE HAS A CAR. IF IT WAS ONLY GOING TO TAKE A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WE WOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER. 8 MONTHS OR VERY POSSIBLY LONGER IS WAY TO LONG AND IS GOING TO PUT AN UNDUE BURDEN TO OUR FAMILY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN CORP. THEY HAVEN'T YET GIVEN ME A SOLUTION TO THIS DILEMMA. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT A WRONG CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. I'M ASKING YOU AS A TAX PAYER TO PLEASE STEP IN AND MEDIATE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD MAKE ME "WHOLE". MYSELF NOR MY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ADDED STRESS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE MY DAUGHTER'S CAR OR AT THE VERY LEAST BUY THIS CAR BACK FROM ME.
