I had a minor fender bender about 5 days ago and my airbags deployed, causing serious burns to my hands and wrists and minor facial burns. I would have been unhurt had the airbags not deployed. I rear-ended another car due to sun glare. I had no idea airbags caused such injury and I have never received a recall notice or any other warning about this. The airbags also broke my steering wheel and my windshield. Otherwise the car suffered relatively minimal damage.

I got off work and got in my car. When I started it the airbag light came on and started blinking. I let it slide for a long time after contacting nissan because of how expensive the part was. Now im trying to sell the car and I had to fix it. Cost 623 dollars altogether. Started looking into and found out there has been a lot of airbag problems with the 200sx, some even with injuries. I think nissan atleast owes us an explanation of why this is happening, maybe even a recall to be made.

Engine light came on approximately 6/30/97 and again 4 wks ago dealership checked,stated no problem. Engine light came on 5/22/01 and on 5/27/01 car did not start. Per pep boys engine valves burned out. Airbag light came rt after left dealership after having the electrical system serviced because dashboard panel went black and interference with alarm operation. Returned to dealership and advised airbag light came on was not on prior to visit. They check and advised computer chip was bad and cost $800 to replace. Refused responsibility. I took the car in 11/2000 for over $800 in repairs, incl 90,000 mile maintenance work even though car only had 84000 miles. Work included rt cv joint replacement. Within 2 hours rt tire was flat. I paid for towing to dealership, advised just had work done on the rt side and they refuse ownership. Pointed out that the tire was shiny, looked like some chemical burnt on and there was steam/smoke from tire. How is it that an airbag never before deployed can go bad. How is it that the panel can go bad and the car is less than 3 years old. The troncalli nissan dealership will not take ownership of defective problems.
