Description of the problem	My complaint is not about a part failing, but in nissan's response to replace a part. My 2004 nissan maxima was involved in a collision where the side airbag deployed. In the repair work, the airbag module needs to be replaced (ordered). The part was ordered on oct. 12, 2011 and after more than two months of the part being ordered, the part has still not been produced by nissan. First i was told it was a back-order issue, but then i lost my patience after 2 months and called nissan corporate, i was told that it is a component distribution issue, which tells me absolutely (wait for it) nothing. The most frustrating thing for me is that i am being told that the delivery of the part is indefinite, so my car sits at the collision shop basically in limbo. I have researched and cannot find any recall information for my vehicle relating to this part. From what i have been able to gather, there seems to be an issue with the testing of the part, therefore the part is not being produced. In my opinion this is discreetly being kept quiet and disguised as a back-order issue by nissan. I see recall issues for this part for the altimas, but not the maximas. It seems like this is a bigger issue than nissan is willing to acknowledge. I am trying to find all avenues to make this complaint about this matter and hope that it registers.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
