I own a 2003 Nissan 350z which was purchased in March of this year. The car has approximately 4,000 miles to date. I was recently in an automobile accident where the result of the crash was in the front of my car. I was traveling 30-35 miles an hour when the crash occurred. Thankfully I was wearing my seatbelt because my airbag did not deploy while the passenger side did deploy. I feel this is a serious defect in this car. If I was not wearing my seatbelt, I could have been seriously hurt. The results could have been tragic if the accident was at a higher level of severity due to the fact that my(driver's side) airbag did not deploy!.
I was rearended at aproximatly 45 mph. The driver's side airbag did not deploy. Also the driver's side seatbelt did not lock. The passenger side airbag deployed and the seatbelt locked. I obtained serious injuries to my back for which I am seeking physical therapy for right now.
