Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2013 Nissan Sentra

Brakes failed to function when attempting to stop while going 35 mph on a dry, straight roadway. The pedal had some tension behind it but didn't feel right, kind of spongy and it went all the way to the floor. Several pumps of the break did not result in significant braking so I spun the steering wheel to the right to try to avoid the car that was stopping, but could not clear it and my car has been totaled and I am in pain. Airbags also failed to deploy, and I'd have thought a 35 mph crash should have been sufficient to trigger the inertia sensor.

The driver sustained minor cuts that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. Both vehicles were towed to a tow yard. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

The Sentra has a light on the dashboard that alerts the driver if the passenger airbag is disabled. This light on my Sentra will sometimes come on even though a 150 pound person is sitting in the passenger seat. Initially I was able to get the light to turn off by braking fast. A few nights ago, I could not get the light to turn off for a 20 minute drive even though a 150 pound person is sitting in the seat. Per Nissan, the air bag is providing no codes for this issue and unless I can recreate it there is nothing they can do. I have contacted Nissan customer service and was told to video tape the light, go to a different dealer who can then read the codes of which there are not any or to trade in the vehicle. I am concerned that the air bag will not properly deploy in a front end collision.

Traveling northbound on hwy 5 . A truck veered into the lane and hit the car head on. Severe damage yet the air bags did not deploy. Thankfully my daughter had on her seat beat. I just brought this car on Nov 23, 2013.
