1.) Both driver and passenger airbag replacement replacements. 2.) If I get into a reck then me and my passenger have a chance of death due to the recall on the airbags. 3.) Yes. 4.) No. 5.) Unknown. Every time I schedule to get the recall fixed either the shops don-??t have the parts or they don-??t have the time to do it.

Went into the dealership to talk about the air bag issue, turns out they fixed the check engine light. Next on the paper it says they found there was no airbag and tried to perform recall, and that they could not perform the recall

No Nissan dealership wants to honor the safety recall on my vehicle due to it being a rebuilt title. I have filed a complaint before in 2020 with NHTSA & the issue has still not been resolved. Unfortunately, this is the only vehicle I own & drive day to day & my life as well as the life of my special needs grandchild is in danger with this recall that no one wants to honor & repair.

Took this car into two Nissan dealerships after receiving a letter regarding the takata inflator recall, was denied both times at both locations that they would not work on my vehicle due to it being a rebuilt title, which I purchased this car from someone as is. Sent an email to Nissan's corporate headquarters and my case was never handled. Ive read of the fatalities due to this particular recall and I fear for me and my families safety. Please help.

Takata recall I bought my Nissan car in Canada, and brought it to California. From Nissan Canada, I know there is takata recall for the airbag. This airbag problem can put passenger in life-threatening danger. However, local Nissan dealers refused to perform this airbag recall on my Nissan car, and Nissan North America did not help to resolve this issue (I have contacted Nissan North America and did not receive any meaningful response).
