Front Air Bag problems of the 1999 Nissan Altima

When we were taught how to drive we were told to place our hands at the 10 and 2 o'clock position on the steering wheel. If that is where your hands are at the deployment of an airbag it throws your left arm against the windshield and it's frame which results in broken arms and wrists. I think there should be a warning for this.

To whom it may concern: I was in a terrible car accicent on 11/1/00. Neither airbag deployed and I had damage on all four sides of the vehicle. The worst of the damage was in the front . . . The front of the car was gone down to the engine. This vehicle never drove well during the rain. In an ironic way, I am happy to know I am not the only one this has happend to. When I contacted the dealership,they refused to answer my questions & just said, "Nissan has a fail proof airbag deployment system. " I advised I had video type of the vehicle after he accident, but they didn't even want to see or acknowledge what had happend. Please feel free to contact me with any answers or information pertaining to this situation. Thank you.

While driving on street vehicle in front stoppped suddenly, and consumer rearended vehicle in front. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed.

While driving forty miles per hour this vehicle rear ended by another vehicle. The front end was totally smashed, but neither air bag deployed. Dealer has been contaced. Driver suffered a brused chest, and severe headaches.
