Tl the contact owned a 1999 Nissan Altima. While driving approximately 25 mph, the contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle that made a sharp left turn across the contact's lane. The front driver and passenger air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries that later required medical attention. The vehicle was totaled and towed to a tow yard. The contact called dartmouth Nissan at 508-996-3200 (located at 483 state rd, north dartmouth, MA 02747) and was informed of an unknown air bag recall.

The failure mileage was approximately 43,000. The VIN was not provided.

(1) I turned left into a parking from sitting still in a turn lane. Approx. 3 car lengths into this parking lot both of the front air bags deployed in my automobile. There was no impact. The police were notified and their response was that because there was no vehicle damage etc. There wasn't anything for them to do. They then referred me to this site to fill out a complaint. (2) all three occupants had to be seen in the er. (3) Nissan was contacted; they sent out a vehicle inspector and then Nissan issued a letter stating that because they could not find any defaulted parts they would not assist in the repairs or hospital costs. Personal automotive insurance covered the incident. As far as I know, all parts have been replaced to the tune of $4,000. 00 just to repair the automobile.
