Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2016 Nissan Rogue

Anither vehicle improperly turned left in front of me as I was traveling through a city intersection causing severe damage to the front of my vehicle. My vehicle was totaled. Not a single airbag deployed in my vehicles. It appears two sensors were hit by the impact.

The airbags on my 2016 Nissan Rogue never deployed. I was driving 65 mph on the highway when I had a sneezing spell. My eyes closed and my arm jerked the wheel during the spell. My car turned into the breakdown lane off the side of the highway. It happened so fast that I never even applied the brakes. My car plowed through the thick woods and trees for over 500ft at full highway speed. . Finally coming to rest after making head on contact with a big tree. When my car was being towed out of woods, the tow tuck driver found the airbag sensor broken off underneath the car. I have included several pics from the accident scene and from the tow yard where my car was brought. You can clearly see the damage to the car from the force of the impact. The resulting damage resulted in the car being a total loss with insurance company . Pictures showing the inside of the car reflect the fact no airbags ever went off. I also included a picture showing the broken off sensor sitting on my hood. By the grace of god I was not seriously hurt in the crash. But I and reporting the crash because the next person may not be so lucky. There clearly in a design flaw. You would think if the sensor brakes off, that would automatically release the airbags. Clearly not the case in my accident.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags). The contact stated that the air bag sensor failed to recognize when the passenger seat was occupied. The passenger would have to get in and out of the seat several times before the air bag sensor was able to recognize the seat was occupied. The dealer provided the contact with several tricks to activate the sensor. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
