| This was a front end collision that occured at a high rate of speed in which the drivers side air bag did not deploy. we contacted nissan they didn't seem interested and sent some literature to us. we have a statement from the auto shop it was towed to in which the ower stated the air bag should have went off. the car was totalled and this was our 3rd maxima. needless to say this will sadly be our last. i'm very disappointed that nissan didn't seem to care about the air bag not deploying. i hope to warn anymore maxima drivers out there. | |||
