I hit a deer head on@ 40 mph, the airbag did not deploy.
The contact owned a 2012 Nissan Altima. While the driver was pulling into a parking space at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated and crashed through two iron gates. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The driver sustained injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was totaled and towed away by the insurance company. The dealer was contacted (koeppel Nissan, 74-15 northern blvd, jackson heights, NY, 877-505-6334) and stated that nothing could be done since the vehicle was totaled by the insurance company.

I was driving in the rain on 2-21-16 approaching a traffic light. The car accelerated when brake was applied, resulting in a 25 mph collision. Airbags did not deploy. I was bruised but did not require medical attention. I was cited for running the light. I am now afraid to drive the car.
On the above date, my vehicle was involved in an accident which after thorough assessment by the body shop and by the insurance company's field adjusters, was deemed a total loss. My vehicle's steering suddenly became very difficult due to the front wheels becoming seemingly locked and steering in the right direction was impossible. Steering wheel was extremely hard to turn as well. The airbags did not deploy either. Everything happened so fast. There was a loss of control which caused the vehicle to overturn or "flip". The vehicle was still upside down when passersby and law official arrived. This accident could have been avoided if we'd received prior notification. We know there were recalls for this year,make and model vehicle and those similar, however we were never notified by anyone of said recalls. This accident could have been fatal, that's how bad it was. By the grace of god it wasn't.
