| (1) i turned left into a parking from sitting still in a turn lane. approx. 3 car lengths into this parking lot both of the front air bags deployed in my automobile. there was no impact. the police were notified and their response was that because there was no vehicle damage etc. there wasn't anything for them to do. they then referred me to this site to fill out a complaint. (2) all three occupants had to be seen in the er. (3) nissan was contacted; they sent out a vehicle inspector and then nissan issued a letter stating that because they could not find any defaulted parts they would not assist in the repairs or hospital costs. personal automotive insurance covered the incident. as far as i know, all parts have been replaced to the tune of $4,000.00 just to repair the automobile. *ak | |||

| When we were taught how to drive we were told to place our hands at the 10 and 2 o'clock position on the steering wheel. if that is where your hands are at the deployment of an airbag it throws your left arm against the windshield and it's frame which results in broken arms and wrists. i think there should be a warning for this. *tr | |||

| To whom it may concern: i was in a terrible car accicent on 11/1/00. neither airbag deployed and i had damage on all four sides of the vehicle. the worst of the damage was in the front ... the front of the car was gone down to the engine. this vehicle never drove well during the rain. in an ironic way, i am happy to know i am not the only one this has happend to. when i contacted the dealership,they refused to answer my questions & just said, nissan has a fail proof airbag deployment system. i advised i had video type of the vehicle after he accident, but they didn't even want to see or acknowledge what had happend. please feel free to contact me with any answers or information pertaining to this situation. thank you.*ak | |||
