2009 Nissan VERSA HATCHBACK - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"indicator light appeared week of march 19, 2023. took vehicle to the dealership march 24, 2023, and after a $225 diagnostic was told, “90626 found dtc b1054. customer needs airbag and the module” (from invoice). parts need to be ordered and will cost ~$1,000 less the diagnostic. concerned about how a safety feature no longer functioning properly and needing replacement is the responsibility of the customer for an amount of this size."

"airbags failed to deploy in an accident at 55 mph."

"airbag inflator recall was repaired but the airbag light on the dash did not go off or clear, further diagnostic tool showed airbag sensor was flashing and broken clock spring was listed on diagnostic sheet. nissan dealership did not repair the airbag sensor or change or fix clock spring therefore still being a safety hazard during deployment, which can lead to metal fragments breaking and bursting thru causing possible threat by shooting metal fragments to car occupants. nissan airbag recalled the inflator for the specific reason of repairing it completely free of possible injury from metal fragments breaking during deployment and nissan did not repair it. the recall states dealership is not to release vehicle until successful inspection. it is not repaired and still poses the same threat the recall states. it's now reported as fixed to manufacture, stating zero recalls. the 97.7 million dollar lawsuit amended requirements sept 2017 for dealership to repair to full inspection regulations. dealership should fix the clock spring free because it directly impacts deployment of airbag and inflators. it's been a little over 30 days since recall repair, how can i get help making nissan dealership responsible to replace clock spring?"

"my 2009 nissan versa has a recall for the driver and passenger airbags. i live in an area with no direct access to a nissan dealership, and would need the car to be barged to the nearest one. nissan has refused to barge the car to the nearest dealership to fix the recall issue. nissan is refusing to fix the recall issue locally where there is no dealership available or nissan certified mechanics. i have requested the part to be shipped to a local mechanic for it to be fixed, but was denied. i asked to purchase the part and have a local mechanic install it and was told that was not possible. so at this time nissan is denying any possible route to have the airbag recall fixed. all i want is to have the part replaced so i am no longer at risk of death due to projectile metal shrapnel in event of an accident from the airbag canister exploding. nissan is refusing to allow any avenue to have the issue fixed locally or to move the vehicle to the nearest dealership. numerous and repeated attempts to get this issue resolved with nissan have lead nowhere. at every new phone call all prior information has been lost and the issue must be re-explained. i am inevitably told they will look more into and promise to get back to me, out of 3 calls to nissan directly and approximately 10+ calls to the company handling the recall, i have yet to receive a single call back. i do not wish to die in a car accident, i am willing to pay for the part and labor to be completed locally. any assistance in getting nissan to allow my car to be fixed so it is no longer at risk of the airbag canister exploding and injuring myself and passengers would be greatly appreciated. thank you."

"dear sir/madam this is not really a complaint. i just wanted to let you know that i took care of the recall for airbags two years ago, but it looks like the dealership never registered that they fixed the issue, and thus i keep receiving letters stating that i need to take care of it. i fixed the airbag recall issue at a nissan dealership in montgomery, please stop sending me letters asking me to fix it. regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr"
