“Takata inflator. I received a letter from a Nissan dealer about 2 months ago. It stated that I should bring in my vehicle to replace the passenger air. When I called to make an appointment I was informed that I would be called by the dealer when the they receive the air bag from the manufacturer. I have not heard from the dealer. When I checked NHTSA website, it did not show my vehicle as a recalled vehicle. I am confused. Is the dealer being honest. Previously, the dealer had requested that I bring in my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11012398, filed 2017-08, 25,000 miles“Air bag light comes on passenger side seat indicating air bag off,with passenger sitting in seat(passenger weighs over 115 #. I have brought car in for seat and air bag recall! Brought in 2 more times for same problem. Still same problems. Contacted Nissan corp and told problem. As told by Nissan rep that they spoke with dealership that all was done to correct problem and known of anything that they could do for problem. The problem does this erratically when car is in motion or stationary. I m am afraid to use auto with pass in seat not knowing if air bag would work in case of a accident.”
