Hi. Well on 051219 I my Nissan was parked outside from my work place I was making a left turn to get the road to my house when all of a sudden the inside airbags turn on they popped . I got so scarry could not see anything there were cars coming in both sides I felt my life in treat there was fire and smoke right above my head . I drive to the side and turn my truck off it was towed by a friend of mine now mi Nissan is parked on my garage cannot take to work I am having trouble to get a ride to my job is there a way I can get help.
The side airbags deployed without any incident of an accident or crash. There was no accident-nothing was but or bumped just driving 35 mph and the side airbags deployed fully and the seat belts on the driver and passenger side tightened to the point of restricted breathing. The seatbelts no lomger can be used as they should. They do not extend out fully. And the airbag sensor light is constantly. Before the deployment of the side airbags the brakes would grind to the point of needing to pull over to pump the brakes in order for them to function again properly. This would happen every 100 miles or so.
My wife was driving about 30 mph in the evening and all of a sudden with no accident no fender bender or bump the side airbags deployed for no reason, shaken and scared she called me to inform me of the situation, thankfully my kids were not in the car at the time! I began to do research and found that I wasn't the only one, this airbag sensor that is bad on all Armadas were recalled except the 04 model according to Nissan customer service, so initially I was appaled, the nice lady at Nissan said that in order for me to do anything further I would have to pay for a diagnostic out of my own pocket like the other poor guy on here who payed and was out of a vehicle for about 3 weeks just to end up in a situation where they won't do anything about it after they find that the sensor states vehicle was in a roll over accident even though it wasnt!!! what are we as consumers to do in a bad situation like this? car has about 137766 miles driven,.
Driving approximately 25 mph leaving neighborhood when side curtain airbags deployed. No impact, the vehicle remained straight on the road with no issues. The airbags just deployed.
Side and back curtain airbags deployed for no reason. No early warning on dash board, driving less than 30 miles an hour on a city street and it just deployed while I was driving.
