I lost control of my truck on black ice, travelling about 35 mph. After sliding sideways for a bit, the vehicle was stopped by a tree, directly into the rear driver side door. The tree caused the side windows to smash and about a 8-10" indentation into the roof and the vehicle occupancy compartment. The side curtain airbags did not deploy. Luckily the driver window smashed away, and my head did not impact the window. Also, luckily there was no one in the rear seat, again, as there was no side airbag deployment. The side airbags definitely should have deployed in such an accident. In short, the side airbags failed!.
Traveling at 45mph car hit curb and was then diverted to median where the front bumper hit a large tree and the passenger air bag did not deploy. Passenger was severely injured. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Airbag system failure light goes off and passenger airbag does not activate when passenger is in front passenger seat. Airbag may not deploy in an accident. First time I was told it was a lose connector second time I was told the computer had to be reset. Third time I was told the computer was replaced. It is now back in Nissan service for the forth time.
On Nov. 4th 2005, I was driving my 2005 Nissan Xterra at about 40 miles per hour. A deer ran into the road. I applied my brakes but hit the deer. My airbag light came on but my airbag did not deploy. The car was taken to amm collision and over $3500. 00 worth of damage was done. The airbag harness wire was cut during the accident. At this time, we are unsure if the airbag should have deployed or would have deployed if the wire wouldn't have been cut. I spoke with the dealership in austin TX and the service dept guy indicated that the airbag should have gone off with a 35 mph hit. I am just trying to find out if anyone else had this issue. Is this a safety issue. At this time, Nissan doesn't have the part to replace it in my car. I can't drive my car due to this safety issue.
