At approx 72,000 miles my airbag indicator light began flashing. My car had never been in a front end accident and I had never touched or done anything to interfere with the airbags. The dealer had no explanation other than they would keep replacing parts until something worked charging me for everything they did whether it worked or not. The vehicle was stationary when the flashing began.

Vehicle was involved in an accident, where my car was a total loss. The seat belts on the driver side did not lock once my car was hit by the other vehicle who caused the accident. This caused my brother the driver to go forward. Also the airbag did not deploy when my vehicle was struck. Causing more harm and worse injuries, because there was nothing to keep my brother from going forward. The vehicle was sitting still waiting to turn, when it was struck by a truck that failed to brake and just crashed into the back of my car. The accident took place on a city street .
The car was hit in the driver and rear door at approximately 40miles per hour. The side airbag was too forceful causing serious injury to eye and burns mark. We feel the airbag was more harm than good, at the point of almost losing eyesight in one eye.

I was traveling thru a light when a car hit me from the side on the passenger side. My air bags came out. The one on the driver's side hit my wrist and broke it in half. I put in a complaint earlier but it was the wrong year vehicle.
Air bag warning light (driver's airbag) illuminated. Went to dealership immediately. Was told if the light came back on I would have to pay $936.99 for replacement. Car had only 10,000 miles on it! I am now unable to pass required state safety inspection due to "safety issue." two emails to nissan have gone without response.
