Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car (1997 Nissan 240 sx) being driven by my son was in an accident where the car was totaled by impact. None of the airbags deployed but yet the light came on saying they did. If they had my son may not have suffered from a serious concussion which we're about to go to the hospital the 2nd time for nor the neck sprain that he did. I've e-mailed Nissan to see if I can get an answer as to why the airbags did not deploy when the light indicates they did but I've not heard back from them yet.”
