I was sitting at the red light when a suburban was speeding and wasn't paying attention. He hit me from the back which cased a 4 car wreck. My trunk was literally pushed to my front seat. The front of my car was under the car in front of me. My car was totaled. I hit my shoulder on the steering wheel along with my neck and shoulders. This wreck made me disabled. The air bags never deployed. It was a major accident wasn't much left of the car and my air bags never came out. The air bags more than likely would have saved me from that horrible impact. I am now disabled for life and my doctor mentioned the air bags would have taking the force of the injuries.

I was on a four lane public highway and was boxed into the far right lane as I was attempting to switch lanes to avoid traffic. Another car sped up and boxed me into the right lane. I slammed on the brakes and decreased my speed from 45 MPH to approximately 20-30 MPH. I crashed into a completely stopped jeep cherokee. My nissan sustained heavy frontal damage and would later be totaled. The airbags failed to deploy. The car I ran into was a jeep so the bumper ran through my engine and upward. Had I been going faster this action would have continued through the windshield. The only thing that saved myself from injury was the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt. I sustained the typical whiplash and sore back but thankfully wasn't severely injured in the crash. I have pictures of the severity of the impact as well as testimony from a local officer who inspected the crash that the airbags never deployed.

My service engine soon light was on for over a week. The dealer told me by phone to pull over if it started flashing. After the car was checked, it turned out it needed a " new mass air flow sensor". It was a saturday so the service writer couldn't reach nissan motor corp to see if I had to pay. I did call nissan motor corp myself because the service writer told me tuesday the service manager said I have to pay. The rep at nissan motor corp spoke to the service manager and nthing was solved. Since I had a coupon, I did save over $200 but still had to pay $534.07 on a 2000 car. I feel this is a safty feature that nissan should not of made me pay for. I didn't purchase the car from this dealer.
