The airbag light continuously blinks and says that it is turned off, I am afraid that if I am in an accident the airbags won"T deploy and my life is in danger.
After arriving home while taking groceries out of the car my grandson closed the door I don't believe it was hard (he's 4yrs old) the airbag deployed this is a cause for concern if a four year old can cause an airbag deployment there is obviously a problem with the sensor when I called to report it I find out that im not the only one that this has happened to.
The Versa was at a stop light and a drunk driver came in the back and slammed into the car. The Versa is totaled and the driver and passenger were both hurt, none of the airbags deployed and there were head, neck, back and broken wrist from this accident. Would like to know why the airbags did not deploy.
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, another vehicle crashed into the vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver and the passenger both sustained injuries and were transported to a hospital for medical assistance. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was not available.
I was in a car crash; I lost control of the car and it veered of the road, crashed into a guardrail, rolled several times. The car experienced front impact, side impact, rear impact, the roof of the car crush in and not one of the air bags deployed. I have pictures available if needed. I feel this is a huge safety defect and I fear that even though I was fortunate to not be catastrophically injured that someone else may not have the same fortune if this matter is not investigated and resolved.
