1995 Nissan Altima airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 61, newest first, as owners wrote them.
As consumer was completing a turn to pull forward onto the road, with no prior warning. The air bags deployed accompanied by a fire. *ph the consumer had contacted nissan for two reasons #1 there was no impact of any kind or accident and #2 nissan engineers should find out why the air bas deployed own it's own because consumer safety is involved.
I understand that there is a recall on my 1995 altima for air bag replacement. I contacted my dealer last month and he said that I had to wait until I got my letter from nissan. Now that red light is flashing and I cannot afford to pay repairs now and then have the bag replaced later by nissan. Please remedy this situation asap. Thank you. Lewis zeller
95 nissan altima air bag control module is defective after 103,000 miles on car. I feel this module should be replaced by nissan free of charge.
Both air bags deployed without warning - no crash involved. Car was moving about 1 MPH - had just barely started to pull forward. Base of bags caught fire - smoldered for 30-40 minutes. Bags had to be cut off to provide vision to drive car home. Current, car will turn over but not start up.
The vehicle was in a mild frontal collision at 5 MPH and both air bags deployed. Per the owners manua, the air bags should only deploy in 30 MPH and faster collisions. Vehicle had been totaled due to the deployment of the air bags. Consumer felt that the defect described in recall 03 v 150 000 was the cause of the air bag failure.*ak *ts
The consumer was involved in an accident earlier this year. The driver side air bag deployed which caused damage to the facial area and a broken wrist. The consumer received a letter from the manufacturer about changing the passenger side air bag. The consumer would like something to be done about the driver side air bag.
When the consumer arrived at the dealership to have to recall regarding the air bag performed, the dealership told the consumer it would take 2 hours as stated on the recall letter, however when the consumer did not hear back from the dealer later in the afternoon, when she called she was told no one brought the vehicle in to be looked at, and another appointment had to be made.*mr *tt

We need to have nissan altima 1994-1995 re-called due to falty passenger air-bags. There are many people that suffered from injury's and thank god I am not one, but it shoulden't take me or my loved ones to suffer from a injury that can be avoided. Then will it change it's faults? Please help the people. Thank you.
After recently seeing a report on the injuries caused by the 1994/1995 airbag deployment, I am trying to find out if my car has this faulty airbag and what I can do about it.
While driving air bag light illuminated. Dealer notified.
Vehicle was in park when airbag light came on.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Consumer very concerned about safety of air bag. Contacted manufacturer ,and asked to replace air bag. Consumer would pay. Manufacturerr advised consumer that they could not recommend that air bag be replaced.
Both air bags deployed without vehicle being in an accident.
When brakes were applied air bags deployed without there being an accident. A defect in the air bag sensor was the cause.
I was stopped on interstate due to collison in front of me I was struck from behind my drivers seat broke backward, I struck the car infront of me and my air bags deployed, I was struck in the rear again. After the collison I cllimbed out of the car and immediately notice it was on fire. The fire began in the driver side rear of the car. My concerns are the seat breaking backward and the fire.
Airbag light keep flashing all the time when engine is on.
Air bag light has started flashing on dashboard. Consumer has not taken t vehicle to a dealership. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
The airbag light started flashing, when I took it to the dealer they advised me that the sensor and airbag had to be replaced. And the cost would be $750.00, the vehicle was never involved in an accident, therefore the airbag should function properly. The vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. The owners manual suggest you have the airbag serviced after 10 years.
Frontal collision at 40 MPH with a 2000 toyota, camry. Both air bags did not deploy. Vehicle at an independent body shop. Informed consumer that air bags should have deployed. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

Both side air bags deployed at a low impact of 10 MPH while rear ending another vehicle. Dealer/ manufacturer were not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further details.
I was in a minor fenderbender and both airbags were deployed.I went to 3 auto bodies and they all said that they should never have been deployed at such a light hit.
When starting car and the seatbelt light went off, airbag light blinked off and on. Airbag may have deployed when consumer hit a bump. Also,odometer was not working at all. Hydraulic disc brakes and shoes had been changed,but consumer still hears a squeeky noise when driving or coming to a stop. Took to dealer, brakes were checked, but did not know where squeaky noise was coming from.
Had a frontal impact and driver's airbag did deploy, but passenger's airbag had about a 45 second delay before deploying. When it did deploy, passenger's airbag burst open, causing serious injuries to the passenger's face and head.
Traveling 70mph with cruise control on and began to slow down, but cruise control would not release. Swerved to avoid vehicles in front. Hit concrete barrier several times. Upon impact, neither air bag deployed. Cruise control never released. Driver suffered whiplash. Passenger had broken bones & bruises.
