2011 Nissan Altima Air bags Problems

“I had noticed that regardless of occupancy, the passenger side airbag indicator never lit up after initial testing on start-up. In late jan 2014, I was t-boned on passenger side by mercedes whose speed was such that his airbag did not deploy. Even though I had no one with me occupying my passenger seat, the side curtain and seat bag deployed, adding many hundreds of dollars to repair.”

“I was involved in a collision with a 2014 dodge ram and it was a front impact collision. My car was totalled ( the impact even crumbled the rear quarter panel) but the airbag on the driver's side did not deploy. The repair company was confused with the amount of damage to my vehicle and the airbag did not deploy. Ii sustained injuries to my neck, back and left side. I still have back pain but I'm getting better. Confused as to why the airbag did not deploy.”

“I was traveling with 2 small children on a straight way on hwy and the front tire blew in the sidewall of my michelin tire. I was pulled across the other lane into a ditch striking a stone culvert after going airborne. I had purchased a set of michelin tires and they were a 70,000 mile tire and had 23,000 miles on them when this occurred. After investigation it was determined a blowout as there was no damage to wheel indication of road hazard that would have caused this type of damage to tire. …”

“I was in a bumper to bumper accident and the front end of my car was smooched in. My chest hit the steering wheel (my seat belt was buckled) knocking the air out of me, but my airbags did not deploy. We have taken our car into the dealership several times to complain about the passenger airbag sensor. Every time we get it back we get the same answer we don't see anything wrong with the sensor . We recently took our car in 2 weeks prior to the accident and we asked them if our car was on the air bag recall list that was all over the news. …”

“There is a fault in the sensor for the front passenger-side seat airbag. It fails to properly sense that an adult is occupying the seat. The airbag-off indicator light often is lit when an adult who weighs approximately 102-105 pounds, is sitting in the front passenger seat. I brought this to the attention of our dealer, clay Nissan of newton, mass. In december 2015. The dealer charged me $99.99 but failed to fix the problem. Their report stated that the airbag system was operating as designed. Obviously it wasn't. Newer Altima models have been recalled for this exact problem. …”
