Air Bag problem #1

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, an accident occured in front of her and she crashed into the passenger side of one of the vehicles. The driver side air bags did not deploy. The contact stated she has injuries on her back, neck, right shoulder, left hand, both knees and both ankles, her chest was sore and has headaches. The contact did sought medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not driverable. The vehicle was towed to a towing lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem #2

Dtc b00a0-00 (occupant detection sensor unit) is stored and OCS zero point reset cannot be performed (continued on the next page) red airbag warning came on located in dash when no passenger in seat but when a passenger is in seat it goes off however regardless the airbag reports that it is turned off due to the OCS cannot complete it’s scan. This puts all passengers at safety risk and they will not deploy if there is an accident. Has been verified by outside mechanic and have an appointment with Nissan dealership Monday however they will not tell me if it is covered under powertrain warranty even though it is within the mile/time period. I’ve been told 2x that airbags are not covered but the warranty clearly states it includes airbags and electrical components.
