TAKATA RECALL HELLO, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM NISSAN TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS INSPECTED. I WENT IN AND LEFT WITH NO ISSUES AND NO REPAIR WAS DONE, JUST AN INSPECTION. TWO MONTHS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. I CALLED THEM AND ASKED THAT THEY FIX IT. THEY SAID IT WILL COST ME $150 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I STATED THAT THEY CAUSED THE PROBLEM DURING THEIR INSPECTION AS IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE UNTIL THEN. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE CREATED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SCAM TO GET MORE MONEY OUT OF CONSUMERS FOR AN UNNECESSARY REPAIR. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND FOR TWO YEARS WITH THE ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, COMPLAINED AND NOW THAT MY SON IS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE I NEED THIS ADDRESSED AND YOU ARE MY LAST EFFORT. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
