1 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Nissan Versa Note

Failure Date: 08/30/2025

After arriving home, I stopped in my driveway and waited for the front passenger to exit. The vehicle was still running and may not have been in park. Immediately after the passenger exited and closed the door, the passenger curtain airbag and passenger seat airbag deployed unexpectedly. The vehicle was stationary and had not been involved in any collision. This sudden deployment posed a serious safety risk — anyone still inside or near the vehicle could have been injured. I brought the vehicle to a Nissan dealership, where technicians scanned the airbag system. I am awaiting additional diagnostic results or a written report. The manufacturer has indicated the situation is considered “out of warranty,” though I believe it represents a safety defect. The issue has not been reproduced or confirmed as a known defect by the dealer or manufacturer. There were no warning lights, error messages, or other symptoms prior to the deployment. The failure occurred immediately after the passenger closed the door, with no prior indication of any malfunction. The airbags and related components remain available for inspection.

Vehicle was involved in an accident. The driver of this vehicle rear ended another vehicle hard. Car was deemed a total loss and none of the air bags deployed resulting in semi serious injuries. Broken elbow, broken ribs, some cuts and abrasions. If air bags had deployed I believe injuries would have been minimal.

6 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Nissan Versa Note

Failure Date: 01/11/2022

The car was parked over night and it was raining that night. The next day I went to move the car, started & warning lights went on. The windshield wiper water trough got clogged due to tree leafs falling in & the water overflow & entered the car by the air vent in to the car floor the 360-deg. Camera system module under the carpet, under the front passenger seat. It drowned in rain water. Causing the car computers to mel function. Drove it to a mechanic & that is when he told me that I need to replace the camera module & the air bag module. I was not able to go faster then 15 or 20 mph in the hway & lost my left & right signal flashers. 1) car mfg should put a leaf filter screen in the trough. 2) never put electronic computer under a carping. Mfg are aware that water can go there. And it’s a water trap.

16 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Nissan Versa Note

Failure Date: 07/13/2016

On 7/13/2016----- my passenger and I were traveling on clemson road where the posted speed limit is 45 mph, its a four lane highway with no median. A truck did a u turn in front of a lot of traffic my vehicle struck his at about 40-43 mph though me and my passenger had seat belts on my passenger still managed to hit his head on the windshield through the airbag. My passenger was 5'2 135 pounds so the seat belt did fit properly and was also being worn properly, with the lap band snug against hip one and shoulder strap fully across chest and latch buckled. My passenger was took to the hospital and was examined for injuries that may have occurred from the head trauma of hitting the wind shield. . Why didn't the passenger seat belt keep my passenger from hitting the windshield??? I believe that the seat belt didn't lock in place like it should have once the breaks were pressed- my passenger kept traveling forward as the vehicle slowed down. Note that my passenger was holding his head once we exited the vehicle!.
