Getting a airbag control module open code.
The Airbag Light, came on a few months ago. UNKNOWN why or exact date. Air Bag inspection, has outrageous cost, to just diagnose why it's on. I have never had a issue with air bags with this car or another car. This is uncommon. Especially with, No Car Incidents.
Hello, my daughter was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which the driver side airbag deployed. She developed some deep cuts on her head and I believe a fracture. I am concerned that her car might be part of the takata airbag recall because I believe that there were pieces of metal from the airbag that caused the deep cuts on her head. Please investigate this. I don't have any photos right now or police reports, but I can get that information if required.*dt *tp *jb thanks
I had an accident, I was stuck behind the vehicle and the bag lights, evaporation sensors, and gasoline went in to take it to the car agency and they warned me that it is okay but today the vehicle inspection of the state does not pass
Since an front end accident my airback didn't deploy and when my body shop reviewed the repair, stated my air bag module is broken so I didn't have working airbags to start.
Takata recall received a letter stating that there aren't enough parts to replace the defective inflator for several months to a year and I am concerned about safety if in an accident.
Keeps flashing on the dashboard. Went to nissan to clear...they said they cleared it ,put still flashing! I checked the VIN number on safer.gov...told me the 9th number does not calculate properly...what does that mean???
Car was involved in an accident, (my car got totaled) my airbags didn't deploy to protect me.. I had no pain right away, but later on it got so bad I can't stand my back and neck pain !!!!
My car was parked in my apartment parking lot. I was in the driver seat when my passenger excited the vehicle and slammed the door shut. My curtain airbags deployed from the front windshield to bed back rear window. As well as my passenger seat airbag deployed. Nissan would not and could not fix the airbags because the part a needed to be repaired were not found. Japanese car shops would not fix them because it was a liability on them and feared them deploying again. Lawyers wouldn't take the case because the damage wasn't worth their time. And my insurance company would not cover the damages because there was no accident or collison. For over a year and half I drove a totaled car around with my young infant that did not have an air bag system in it now what do ever because the sensors blew when this obscured and then had to pay out of pocket which I didn't have to get rid of the car and roll over my negative equity from this vehicle.
