While driving down a dirt road my side curtain airbags deployed causing me to swerve into a ditch. I contacted Nissan of North America and they suggested I take the truck to the local Nissan dealership and when I took it there and told them what happened and they told me they were probably not going to cover it since I purchased the truck used and they asked what other actions I was going to pursue and I said I was going to contact a lawyer and they were very adamant about me not contacting a lawyer which I considered to be a red flag. After doing research I noticed I am not the only Nissan Titan owner this has happened to and do not feel I should have to file a claim with my insurance company and pay my deductible or shop fees because I do not consider this to be my fault and feel that this is a very big safety issue especially since my wife drives this truck and we haul our niece and nephew in the truck when we have them and had this happened on our freeway at 75mph things could have been a lot worse.

Shortly after a rainstorm this vehicle (Nissan Titan 2006) was being driven late at night on an unpaved country road in the vicinity of webster parish, la. As the road was wet and the visibility was very limited it was being driven no faster than about 20 miles per hour when they ran into a rut in the road with the left front tire and that caused the airbags to deploy. When the vehicle ran into the rut in the road it tilted very slightly and then righted itself. There was no exterior damage to the vehicle and there were no injuries to the people riding in the vehicle. The vehicle was then driven to the local Nissan dealership and they contacted Nissan who said that the airbags had deployed properly and they would not pay any part of replacing them or the seat belts. The Nissan representative also said that the vehicles' computer sent out an 'error code' that the vehicle had rolled over. Also, when we discussed this issue with another Nissan trained and certified technician, we were told that 7 out of 10 Titans have issues with their computers and that the sensor under the vehicle is prone to come loose. It doesn't seem logical that a minor incident like this could cause the airbags to deploy and have to be replaced along with the seat belts unless the system in this vehicle was defective. It cost more than $5,000 to replace the airbags and the seat belts and Nissan would not pay any of this amount.
