Description of the problem | Was notified of nhtsa recall 16v-244 in early june 2016 of a problem with engaging front passenger seat airbag. This specific problem was initially noted by me (owner) in november 2013. Nissan supporsedly reloaded software which solved problem, even though we continued to have indication from dashboard light of non-engagement when seat was occupied. Now almost two year later we receive this recall notice. Scheduled recall fix appointment with priority nissan chantilly service department for 6/29/16 and was reconfirmed for appointment by dealership on three separate occasions. Upon arrival at schedule appointment (0800, 6/29/16) was rudely informed by dealership that no parts were available for fix. Lost time and not fix after almost two years and now two months from formal recall notice. Dealership didn't seem to be concerned with my concern. Now i ask for your assistance in determining whether my vehicle is safe for a passenger in the front seat, when airbag does not engage. More importantly, what is nissan usa doing to assure dealerships are taking this recall seriously and what actions to obtain appropriate parts for fix are being taken. |
