The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
I was driving home from work. Got. Rearended I hit the car in front of me. I was stopped at a light. The airbag did not deploy. I suffered a head injury. Broken spine. Car was destroyed only thing left was were I was sitting. And the passenger seat. Now Nissan murano 2005 has faulty airbag too. Light on and flashing. Vehicle. Rendered unsafe to operate vehicle. Nissan has ongoing problems with their airbags and wont help consumers fix the problems.
Traveling w/ flow of traffic when turn head for split second not realizing the vehicle ahead of me stalled, so she had no brake lights or flashers, nevertheless I slammed into the that vehicle in front of me. I hit wrapped myself around the steering wheel and my head flew over the steering wheel and back unto the seat. But never did the airbag deploy to hold me in place. My injuries where shortness of breath, since my chest and neck were bruised. My arms were difficult to move. My head was pounding along with my jaws in pain.
Our 2000 Nissan Altima gxe 4 dr sedan comes equipped with driver and passenger side air bags. They failed to deploy during a serious accident this past Friday. Although we were not seriously hurt the paramedics, police officers and fire fighters found it amazing and incredible that a late model car's air bags would not deploy at this accident. A drunk driver hit the left side of my car. I was travelling at 40 miles per hour through an intersection when he tried to make a left turn. He hit me in the process and the impact was such that we had to take my wife to the emergency room to make sure she didn't have any internal injuries. I am just disappointed that the air bags, that are intended for these types of accidetns, did not deploy. If this is a manufacturer's defect then it is a matter that need to be addressed.
