Front Air Bag problems of the 1998 Nissan Sentra

I was rear ended by a Mercury minivan (estimated speed 30 mph) and pushed into a Dodge minivan. The front bumper got cracked in half, the radiator and battery were also displaced. The trunk was damaged, the rear bumper was almost torn off and the rear drivers side panel shows dents beyond the gas cap. I am being told that because I was rear impacted, and pushed into a vehicle with a higher bumper than my own the air bags may not have been supposed to deploy. A rear impact still throws you forward, and the number of suvs and Mini vans on the road makes this seem like a major hazard. Pictures of my car after the accident can be provided upon request.

Consumer's vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 40 mph with another vehicle and neither frontal air bag deployed. Driver sustained minor injuries to the shoulder and the right arm from the seat belt. Insurance company reported the incident to the dealer and manufacturer.

Driving about 30 mph consumer hit another vehicle head on, neither airbag deployed.

Consumer made a turn while driving straight at approximately 35mph when another vehicle entered the same lane and hit the Sentra on passenger's side door. Driver's and passenger's air bags deployed upon impact, causing passenger to sustain injuries.
