The side airbags deployed without any incident of an accident or crash. There was no accident-nothing was but or bumped just driving 35 MPH and the side airbags deployed fully and the seat belts on the driver and passenger side tightened to the point of restricted breathing. The seatbelts no lomger can be used as they should. They do not extend out fully. And the airbag sensor light is constantly. Before the deployment of the side airbags the brakes would grind to the point of needing to pull over to pump the brakes in order for them to function again properly. This would happen every 100 miles or so.

The airbag light has been blinking since 2011 and I found out this year that there is a recall for that purpose. I reported to nissan company about that after my car was rejected for the annual inspection. They told me that the VIN# of my armada was not included in the recall. I have since heard that there is another recall of nissan cars from 2002 and up. I wonder what action I can take since my armada falls into the years mentioned. Thanks

I was traveling over the 285 spaghetti junction bridge when a crashing sound like a gun shot disrupted my drive. I gripped the stirring wheel and was able to pull over to the side. Catching my barrens, we realized that the side "curtain" airbags deployed. There was not an accident, no one hit us and we did not hit anyone so we were not sure on how or why the airbags deployed. We contacted nissan headquarters and they are not willing to assist us stating that because of the mileage and year of the vehicle there is nothing they can do. It is really upsetting that they are not considering the incident could have been deadly if the airbags deployed in the front and blinded my visibility. Instead nissan will not give us a reason for the deployment or even check out the vehicle as it sits at the nissan infiniti dealership. We have contacted our insurance company, better business bureau and no one is willing to assist or be accountable. Our hands are tied locked in a car payment that we are not even able to drive.

My wife was driving about 30 MPH in the evening and all of a sudden with no accident no fender bender or bump the side airbags deployed for no reason, shaken and scared she called me to inform me of the situation, thankfully my kids were not in the car at the time! I began to do research and found that I wasn't the only one, this airbag sensor that is bad on all armadas were recalled except the 04 model according to nissan customer service, so initially I was appalled, the nice lady at nissan said that in order for me to do anything further I would have to pay for a diagnostic out of my own pocket like the other poor guy on here who paid and was out of a vehicle for about 3 weeks just to end up in a situation where they won't do anything about it after they find that the sensor states vehicle was in a roll over accident even though it wasn't!!! What are we as consumers to do in a bad situation like this? Car has about 137766 miles driven.
