What owners say about the air bags
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Vehicle was involved in a frontal impact crash, passenger side airbag popped out of the dashboard, but did not inflate, causing significant injury to the passenger of the vehicle. A police report was filed, but it is not available yet. It takes up to 10 business days from date of accident.”
“I had an accident, and it was pretty bad and my air bags did not deploy. The car might be a total loss and I was very surprised and concerned that the bags did not deploy. Even my phone detected the crash and alerted my family members. That happened immediately after the crash.”
“I was the driver, and was tbone by someone on passenger side. My speed was 33mph, none of my airbag went off. I've became injuried badly since the accident. The vehicle came straight from manufacturer to dealership, then to me. No accidents was reported before mine. No, I didn't see any warning light, everything looked okay, I bought this car from dealership, was told no problem with it, unfortunately it took an accident to find out the hard way.”
“The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Versa Note. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the seat track rail sensor, Occupant Classification System (OCS), and front passenger's side seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,887.”
“THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT INADVERTENTLY REMAINED LIT, & THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING THE CAR'S AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED COMPLETELY. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON SECONDARY ROADS WHEN CONDITION OCCURRED.”
“AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BLINKS, NO RECALL IS SHOWING FOR MY VEHICLE VIN. AIRBAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. DISPLAYS REGARDLESS OF SPEED. HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR MONTHS (NEARLY A YEAR AS BEST I CAN RECALL), THIS IS THE FIRST I BECAME AWARE OF A METHOD TO REPORT.”
