"takata air bag" - Nissan's VIN server has been "down" for over 2 weeks, and do not answer their phone to check if our vehicle is effected by the takata air bag recall. Also, this sites NHTSA VIN search also crashes when searching for Nissan VIN numbers. Nissan should be answering their phone, and fix their website so VIN can be researched on this serious - life threatening issue!.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

My daughter was driving her 2005 Nissan Altima and over corrected in a curve. She hit a tree and the air bag in the steering wheel deployed. She was wearing her seat belt and was held back by the seat belt her head impacting the center or the steering wheel. The cover over the air bag blew out hinging itself at the top and making two very pointed and sharp edges on each bottom corner. The right bottom point pierced the skin between her nose and the corner of her left eye missing it by less than a sixteenth of an inch and breaking her nose. The dangerous part is the two sharp points on the flap where the air big deployed should be considered a design flaw.

The airbag suddenly came on while parked. Also, the light indicating that a passenger is seated does not register that person. Dealership says there is no recall for my vehicle.

11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2012

I would like to know how the NHTSA and Nissan can ignore my complaints and calls that myself and my husband have made regarding my faulty airbags and my seat belts. I was going 45 miles per hour when I struck another vehicle that pulled out in front of me. My seat belts along with my 2 children that were in the car with me at the time didn't lock for them either. My airbags didn't deploy. We suffered from medical issues because of this. My car has been totaled because of the severity of the damages. I would like to know how Nissan nor anyone else for this matter will take responsibility for faulty equipment. I'm thinking its time that I might have to take this matter to the media and also the better business bureau. I had put my trust in these manufactures that have failed to protect us as they said they would. Yet when it comes down to it they really don't care. Can anyone give any other advice?.
