The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that after unbuckling her front driver side seat belt and standing outside of the vehicle, she reached over to grab her purse. The contact seatbelt had not fully retracted as she reached over for the purse and as a result, the seat belt's latch plate hit the contact in her abdomen. After the failure occurred, the seat belt no longer fastened. The contact sustained pain to the abdomen for a couple days and sought medical treatment at an urgent care facility. The contact was informed by a doctor that she had suffered a hematoma to her abdomen and was informed that the soreness would last approximately 4-6 weeks. The contact initially reached out to her auto insurance who then referred her to a dealer or the manufacturer. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where she was informed that there were no recalls and was given an estimate for the repair. The contact then reached out to an independent mechanic who linked the contact's failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 06V459000 (Electrical System). The contact then brought a print out of the recall campaign to another dealer where she was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Notes from email received from nissan shop 'tech found driver side seat belt assembly need to be replace for the airbag light to go off' and ' its the seat belt buckle so its hard to say if it will keep you in ur seat or discharge the system if in an accident. So the system will not work as designed with the light on.' this same model had a seatbelt recall nissan recall : wire harness 2005 nissan titan so I wanted to see if this was a related issue. The company said it was not covered and I will have to pay $650 for this safety issue. The truck is older but only has 93k miles on it as my dad was the original owner and was in failing help. Thank you.

On certain king cab trucks, the wires in the harness were routed through the rear doors and into the body. These wires may break due to over bending of the harness as the door is opened and closed. The harness contains wires for the driver seat belt pretensioner and for the front passenger seat belt which is part of the occupant classification system. Wires for the rear audio speakers are also contained n the harness. Consequence: if the wires for the seat belts and speaker wires break and make contact, there is a possibility that the pretensioner may deploy. If this happens when the seat belt is retracted, it will not be possible to use the seat belt. If one of the wires on the right side harness for the seat belt tension sensor breaks, the passenger side front air bag will not deploy as designed in a frontal collision increasing the risk of a crash and personal injury. I went to wallace nissan, kingsport, tn, on 07/18/2012 and described the above mentioned problem, and was told that the campaign had ended and they would not repair this problem, I explained that the dome lights and the door lock were effected by this flawed design problem,. I am very much afraid that the broken wires will short out and start a fire.

The rear seat seat-belts of my nissan titan truck will tighten into a locked position causing the passenger to become immobilized against the seat back. The only way to undo the locked seat-belt is to completely disengage it, and then re-lock it. However, it's then just a matter of time before it locks up again forcing the passenger to unlock it. This is obviously a safety hazard, because the passenger has to undo their seat-belt while the vehicle is in motion so they can move. I have complained to the nissan dealer and they have replaced the seat belts on three different occasions, but the problem persists, and they say they can't fix them. I have verified with other 2006 nissan titan owners and they have noted the same problem, and the nissan dealer admitted they have had others with the same problem. They need to redesign the rear seat belts or use different types that won't tighten and lock up when people are simply sitting in them, which creates this serious safety hazard. I always insist that anyone riding with me use the seat belts, but I have noted on occasion that some have released them without telling me, because the seat belt had locked up on them, causing too much discomfort. Maybe you can get nissan to correct this serious safety problem, because they won't listen to me (they simply replace the defective seat belt with a similar defective one).

I bought a 07 nissan titan in july of 07. Right away I found that the controls on the steering wheel were not working. Including the air bag. I had it fixed right away. Then it happened again in dec 08. I once again had the problem fixed. I was in a head on collision on jan, 23 at 8:30 pm. I was going 45 miles an hour and hit a cement and medal signal pole. The impact was in the center on the truck. My seatbelt did not lock and my air bag did not deploy. When you buy a new car the safety is part of what you are paying for and when it does not work it is very scary.

Traveling at approximately 30-35 MPH, early morning, dry conditions. I set the cruise control, because I was having severe stomach pain. I leaned my head back and next thing I must have passed out. I awoke after striking a telephone pole on the opposite side of the street. The impact was dead center. The license plate is the exact shape of the pole, infact the sensor is directly behind and under the bumper from the plate. The seatbelt did not lock and the airbags neither one didn't deploy. The cruise was set, and there were no skid marks, so I must have hit the pole going 30-35 MPH. The pole is approximately 3' from road. I suffered chest and back injuries, and still recovering. Luckily I'm still alive! The interior looks perfect like it never was wrecked, on the other hand the truck was totaled. The bumpers ends where literally wrapped around the pole. It was a 2007 nissan titan, less than a year old. I do have photos.
