2001 Nissan Frontier Air bags Problems

“My truck was hit on front right side and spun my truck around. My whole front end fell off, including my head lights and radiator support. Both radiators were crushed. The front tire wall along with the radiators were pushed into my engine. With all this damage, my air bags never deployed. Both officers on site advised me to look into this matter.”

“Problems w/ passenger side airbag lock mech. Trouble turning the key to off position. Now it is locked in off position and can not be turned back on. Posted this issue on a Nissan forum and found it to be a common problem! I called a factory and they said the only fix was to take out lock core and have it re-keyed. Not a good thing if you ask me!”

“This vehicle was involved in a mva where it hit the broadside of a minivan (t-boned) that ran a red light through an intersection. The truck was going in excess of 20mph at the time, when I contacted the mini-van no airbag was deployed. I suffered hits to my head, whiplash related damages, damage to my shoulder and right leg. The impact caused significant front end damage to the truck, the engine and body were damaged to the point where I was not able to drive the truck and engine was inoperative. No airbag deployment.”

“Airbag warning light on the dash blinked on and off. Private garage and dealership identified faulty part as a clock spring in the steering column. Was told part is no longer available. Manufacturer did not make enough parts for replacement. Not available new or used. I asked the dealer to contact the manufacturer to see if they have a fix for the problem. No response. So vehicle no longer has working airbags. Is the manufacturer not responsible to back up the safety of their vehicle airbags?”

“While driving 60 MPH vehicle was involved in a head on collision. Upon impact, dual airbags did not deploy, and driver sustained severe back injuries.”
