2003 Nissan 350Z Air bags Problems

“The airbag light on the dash recently started flashing in this vehicle while my wife was driving. We took it to the dealer to get it diagnosed and they said the left side airbag module was faulty and that both it and the sub-harness would have to be replaced.

“I was rearended at aproximatly 45 MPH. The driver's side airbag did not deploy. Also the driver's side seatbelt did not lock. The passenger side airbag deployed and the seatbelt locked. I obtained serious injuries to my back for which I am seeking physical therapy for right now.”

“I own a 2003 Nissan 350Z which was purchased in march of this year. The car has approximately 4,000 miles to date. I was recently in an automobile accident where the result of the crash was in the front of my car. I was traveling 30-35 miles an hour when the crash occurred. Thankfully I was wearing my seatbelt because my airbag did not deploy while the passenger side did deploy. I feel this is a serious defect in this car. If I was not wearing my seatbelt, I could have been seriously hurt. …”

“The contact owned a 2003 Nissan 350Z. While driving 25 MPH, a vehicle ran a stop sign which caused the contact to crash into another vehicle on the rear driver side. The air bags deployed.

The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.
