1995 Nissan 200SX Air bags Problems

“I had a minor fender bender about 5 days ago and my airbags deployed, causing serious burns to my hands and wrists and minor facial burns. I would have been unhurt had the airbags not deployed. I rear-ended another car due to sun glare. I had no idea airbags caused such injury and I have never received a recall notice or any other warning about this. The airbags also broke my steering wheel and my windshield. Otherwise the car suffered relatively minimal damage.”

“I got off work and got in my car. When I started it the airbag light came on and started blinking. I let it slide for a long time after contacting Nissan because of how expensive the part was. Now im trying to sell the car and I had to fix it. Cost 623 dollars altogether. Started looking into and found out there has been a lot of airbag problems with the 200SX, some even with injuries. I think Nissan atleast owes us an explanation of why this is happening, maybe even a recall to be made.”

“Air bag warning light came on for no apparent reason, 4000 miles after the warrantee expired. Dealer says that it could cost up to $1,000 to turn it off/repair system. If the government is going to require this questionable equipment on a vehicle, they should also assure that it functions properly and continues to function at no additional cost to the consumer! Nissan air bags are junk!”

“The contact owns a 1995 Nissan 200SX. The contact stated that the air bag indicator remained illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the part was discontinued. The contact stated that the vehicle was rejected for an inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.”

“Consumer pulled into a parking lot and made a right, shifted from 1st to second gear, and pressed on gas. 3 seconds later, airbags deployed. Consumer stated that there was no object in the road, and didn't hit anything for airbags to deploy.”
