1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2015

The side airbags deploy too easily in Frontier trucks, all without need of a crash Nissan won't cover the damages under warranty and refuses to reimburse owners who must pay out-of-pocket for repairs. Nissan does have a program to reprogram the air bag diagnosis sensor unit but will not cover the reinstall of the side curtain aid bags. The air bags are going off because of a false reading from the sensor unit. My Frontiers side curtain air bags deployed at 5mph on a flat surface.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2013

Side air bags deployed with no impact of vehicle. Nissan claimed the vehicle was at an angle that required the bags to deploy. The vehicle is a 4x4 truck and was not at any angle that required the air bags to deploy. Speed was 10mph on a flat dirt road. Even though the vehicle only had 9000 miles the $4500. 00 was not covered under bumper to bumper warranty.
