• 12/29/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

  PRIOR TO BEING APART OF THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT CITIZENS COULD REPORT ERRONEOUS AND DANGEROUS PART FAILURES IN THEIR AUTOMOBILES PRIOR TO A DANGEROUS INCIDENT. HAVING GONE THROUGH THE TAKATA RECALL, I AM NOW A MORE AWARE CONSUMER AND WANT TO REPORT AN INCIDENT INVOLVING FAILING DOOR ASSEMBLIES ON NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK'S. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK SEVERAL YEARS AFTER OWNERSHIP. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS HAPPENED DURING OR AFTER DRIVING, BUT IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE HATCH BACK DOOR IN THE REAR TO OPEN. THE UNLOCK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED IS NOT BEING SENT TO THE TAILGATE. A FAILURE TO DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE HIGH-QUALITY DOOR LATCH IS NOT A CONSUMER OR CUSTOMER ERROR. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER AUTO COMPANY'S LIKE FORD HAVE RECALLED THEIR DOOR ASSEMBLIES, BECAUSE ANY WEAKNESS IN A DOOR ASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND POSES A RISK TO THE PASSENGERS OR DRIVERS. FORD STATED THAT "SHOULD A CUSTOMER BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR WITH THESE CONDITIONS, THE DOOR MAY APPEAR CLOSED, BUT THE LATCH MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE THE DOOR STRIKER WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT THE DOOR COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." THE NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE NISSAN ACTUATOR ISSUE. IT IS A RISK FOR PEOPLE RIDING AND DRIVING NISSANS AND ALSO A LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY.

  MY NISSAN STARTED LEAKING AIR OUT OF THE TIRES....ALL 4 OF THEM. MY SON-IN-LAW FILLED THEM UP TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE AND IN A DAY OR TWO THEY WOULD BE DOWN 4,5, OR SOMETIMES 8 LBS. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS UNTIL I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON IT. (I ASKED). THEY DID PLUG ONE TIRE BECAUSE IT HAD A NAIL IN IT, BUT THE OTHER THREE THEY SAID "WERE JUST FINE". THEY ADDED PRESSURE TO THE TIRES, I PAID THEM AND AWAY I WENT. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK DOWN TO MY- SON-IN-LAW, HE LOOKED AT IT AND THE PRESSURE WAS DOWN 6 LBS. IN EACH TIRE. WENT OUT AND BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES TWO DAYS AGO. MY FRIEND WHO HAS A VERSA BOUGHT NEW TIRES, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE HER (SAME) PROBLEM. HOLDING MY BREATH AND HOPING MINE WILL BE OK. WHY DIDN'T THE DEALER KNOW OF THE DEFECT IN THE TIRE PRESSURE VALVE,OR WERE THEY PLAYING STUPID BECAUSE I WAS A WOMAN? *TR

MY STRUTS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE SUSPENSION ARE FINE AND I HAVE NOT HAD TO REPLACE THOSE YET. SINCE I DON'T TOW ANYTHING OR PUT VERY HEAVY ITEMS IN MY CAR, I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD REPLACE MY SPRINGS OTHER THAN THAT PART BEING DEFECTIVE. SPRINGS USUALLY LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR UNLESS YOU REGULARLY TOW, DRIVE ON DIRT ROADS, OR PUT HEAVY ITEMS IN THE CAR.

NISSAN FURTHER ADVISED "DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT", WHICH HAS CAUSED A LENGTHY UNDUE HARDSHIP ON VERSA OWNERS. WHEN I CALLED ON 8/24/16, DIANA INFORMED ME THE PART WOULD BE IN BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER OR BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. I THEN CALLED AGAIN ON 10/28/16, WHEN MELODIE INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL JANUARY 2017. MY REQUEST FOR A NISSAN RENTAL WAS REFUSED, WHICH WAS NOT RIGHT CONSIDERING THE INCONVENIENCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED, NOT USING MY CAR TO ITS FULLEST CAPACITY AND ALWAYS WITH THE FEAR OF FLYING FRAGMENTS SHOULD THE HOUSING RUPTURE. MY CALL TO SHEILA IN THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. ON 11/19/16 YIELDED THE EXACT RESULT AS BEFORE- THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL JANUARY 2016. NISSAN NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR PROVIDE THE AFFECTED OWNERS WITH CAR RENTALS. IT IS LONG OVERDUE.

  TAKATA RECALL - MY CHIEF COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE SO MANY RECALL NOTICES FOR BOTH MY NISSAN VEHICLES THIS ONE WENT UNNOTICED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA SO I ASSUME WE ARE AT RISK. THE RECALL NOTICE SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED A VOUCHER FOR A RENTAL. THIS SHOULD BE THE LAW. I THINK IT IS ABSURD THAT I HAVE A CAR THAT SEATS 4-5, BUT NOW I CAN ONLY RIDE 3. WE CARPOOL SEVERAL GIRLS TO SCHOOL, SO THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. THE NISSAN CORPORATION AND THE DEALER (BILL HOOD) AGREED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL. THEN THEY ARGUED (THROUGH ME) ABOUT WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR IT. SEVERAL WEEKS WENT BY AS THEY BICKERED. FINALLY THEY COULD NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL SAID "NEVER MIND." I WAS APPALLED AT THE DELAY, THE GAMES THEY PLAYED, THEN THE FINAL DECISION TO NOT SUPPLY A RENTAL AFTER THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD. I FEEL THIS WAS A TACTIC TO DELAY THINGS UNTIL THEY GOT THE PARTS "AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER". YET HERE WE ARE IN NOVEMBER WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN QUITE A HARDSHIP DUE TO OUR CARPOOL SITUATION. I ALSO THINK IT IS REDICULOUS THAT THE INFO ABOUT "DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY" WAS NOT IN BOLD PRINT ON THE CARD, LIKE OTHER INFO WAS. WHEN I MENTIONED THIS TO THE NISSAN REP (SUMMER WAS HER NAME), SHE SAID "THE CARD SAYS WHAT?" SHE HAD NO CLUE OF WHAT THE RECALL CARD STATED. NISSAN'S HELP, OR LACK THERE OF, WAS LAUGHABLE. PLEASE HELP US GET A RENTAL (PAID FOR BY THE OFFENDING COMPANY OR DEALER) OR THE PARTS WE NEED. I PAID FOR A CAR THAT SEATS 4. THANKS! (*UNHAPPY NISSAN OWNING FAMILY)

  IN MAY 2017 I HAVE EXPERIENCED AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING MY DASHBOARD OF NISSAN VERSA VERSA 2010. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, WHERE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS PENDING PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL (DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN ABOUT THAT). THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL AT NO CHARGE BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL PRESENT. AT THAT PARTICULAR POINT, NISSAN SERVICE DID NOT WANT TO PERFORM ANY MORE INSPECTIONS FOR FREE SO I WAS CHARGED $160.00 TO GET ADVICE ON FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT (REPAIR ORDER 1 ATTACHED). AT THIS MOMENT I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF APPROXIMATELY $1500-1600 TO GET THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG FIXED. I DECIDED TO GO FOR IT (EVEN THOUGH THAT IT WAS ALMOST HALF OF THE VALUE OF MY CAR). MY CAR WAS REPAIRED ONE WEEK LATER (AFTER 2 TIMES REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND MODULES ON DRIVER SEAT) AS THE PARTS APPEAR TO BE DEFECTIVE. I WAS WITHOUT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN DIRECTLY IN OCTOBER ABOUT A RECALL ON DRIVERS AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED PREMIER NISSAN OF SAN JOSE, WHERE MY REPAIR WAS BEING DONE TO CLAIM A REFUND OF $1,481.68 FOR THE REPAIRS I WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO PAY. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CONSUMER AFFAIR AND NISSAN DIRECTLY FOR A REFUND. THE SERVICE PROVIDER STATED THAT ALL REPAIRS WHICH WERE DONE IN JUNE NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN ONCE NEW PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, THEREFORE I NEED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND. THE AIRBAG STILL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN MARCH WHEN NEW PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

I AM SO AFRAID FOR MYSELF AND THAT OF THOSE RIDING WITH ME. THIS IS A "CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER", THIS TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FINALLY FIXED AND SOON! I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THE SAME RECALL. FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD A TEMPORARY PART WAS PUT IN UNTIL THE PERMANENT ONE CAME FROM THE MANUFACTURER (THAT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR), THEN I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS SAME DEALERSHIP THAT THE PERMANENT PART WAS IN. SO I TOOK IT BACK IN JULY FOR IT TO BE INSTALLED AND YET, THAT PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME "THEY ARE WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART THAT WILL FINALLY FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THE TAKATA INFLATOR AIRBAG ISSUE. MEANWHILE AND AS I WAIT, I AM PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER DRIVING THE CAR AND THOSE WHO RIDE WITH ME. THIS INFLATOR ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND SOON! I NEED HELP GETTING THE PROPER RESOLUTION THAT WILL REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THE MANUFACTURER NEED TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND MAKE THIS A PRIORITY TO GET RESOLVED AS I HAVE TWO NISSAN VERSA'S AND BOTH HAVE THE SAME TAKATA INFLATOR ISSUES UNDER THE RECALL. MY OTHER CAR IS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA ALSO NEEDING THE PERMANENT PART TO FIX IT'S INFLATOR ISSUE.

  THE AIRBAGS IN MY NISSAN HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I CONTACTED NISSAN REGARDING THIS MATTER ON 10/18/17. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR ME TO USE UNTIL THE AIRBAGS ARE FIXED. I WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST AT LONG BEACH NISSAN. I'M STILL WAITING!
