On [xxx] I was driving my 2015 Nissan Sentra s (manual transmission) in los angeles, CA. While traveling at a moderate speed on a city street, another vehicle crossed into my lane, resulting in a direct, head-on collision. The impact caused severe damage to the entire front end of my vehicle: the hood crumpled, the front bumper and grille detached, and internal components such as the radiator support and crash bar were visibly deformed. The damage was so extensive that vehicle two’s (at-fault driver’s) insurance company declared the car a total loss. Despite the severity of the frontal impact, none of the airbags deployed. This was unexpected, as the collision was strong enough to stop both vehicles instantly—pushing my vehicle backwards until both vehicles came to a halt, resulting in significant structural deformation. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or previous issues with the airbag system prior to the accident. Photographs and video footage of the incident are available. As a direct result of the airbag non-deployment, my head and jaw made contact with the steering wheel, causing chest, jaw, neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as severe headaches. After the accident, the vehicle was inspected by vehicle two’s insurance company and reviewed by Nissan’s incident investigation specialist, dakota mcgregor. Nissan denied my claim for non-deployment of airbags verbally via landline. Nissan’s specialist, dakota mcgregor, refused to provide written documentation, technical justification, or a written denial of my claim, despite my requests. Furthermore, the specialist did not provide or disclose the threshold for airbag deployment in this vehicle, and no crash data or event data was collected or reviewed from the vehicle’s onboard computer. As a result, I am unable to determine the exact cause of the airbag system’s failure to deploy. I am filing this complaint because I believe this incident represents a potential safety defect with the air information redacted pursuant to the freedom of informatio.

The airbag sensor fails to register the weight of a grown adult in the passenger seat. I have brought my car into a Nissan dealership to get this issue checked out, but I was told that there is no issue. I first noticed this issue approximately 5 years ago and has occasionally occured since. If the airbag sensor does not light up when there is a passenger (who is over 100 lbs and over 13 y/o) and does not deploy the airbag in the event of an accident, the passenger of my car could be seriously injured or killed.
Was in a car accident and totaled the car, however the air bags never deployed.
Recently my family was rear-ended while sitting at a stoplight at a four-way intersection on a state route by a drunk driver traveling more than twice the speed limit (40 mph). Following the collision, it was determined that the side curtain airbags had been deployed. However, neither the driver nor passenger airbags deployed in the crash causing increased injury to the driver and front passenger of the car. There were no occupants in the back seat and all occupants were wearing safety restraint belts correctly.
Apparently the dealer who sold me the car without telling me that it was a previous total loss and now they refuse to give me my down payment back.
My car was stationary and the fault that many Nissan Sentra have with the passenger airbag comes out. I would like to be checked. There are many cars with this same problem that comes from the factory.
I was involved in a wreck going over 10 miles per hour on the freeway and my air bags did not come out and I feel that is unsafe, though they claimed they fixed the recall at Nissan. I feel as though this car is a danger to my life and others as well. I was in California on the 10 freeway as my boyfriend was driving.
We received another recall notice from Nissan north America regarding OCS (non-operation) of passenger air bag. Contacted dealer to discuss problem. Was given the same( no action ) answer that we got on previous visits. This situation is totally unexceptable. That air bag system is designed to prevent the passenger from crashing into the dash or windshield. I believe the solution is out there. I am very concerned for the safety of my passenger.

Applied the brakes to the floor and it slid on an inclined road after being in a complete stop, resulting in rear ended straight the front vehicle. Air bags deployed causing burns and seat belt bruises. The force was significant enough to bend a metal bar. I can't explain how the inclined surface didn't even help stop the car for it seems to still be going instead of stopping. It shouldn't have been such a bad impact since gravity and friction where working to stop the car. I can't explain it.
