2004 Nissan Maxima Air bags Problems

“I also seem to be having transmission jerk problems with my Nissan Maxima. The car has 100000 miles on it. I get a jerking motion when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd that really hurts my neck. It jerks especially hard when making a turn and the car slows down and picks up speed again. And, in my case it also jerks one day and behaves ok another day. Also the problem seems to happen more with a warmer engine, and is rarely happening when the engine is cold.”

“On may 06, 2011 I was involved in a major car accident. My driver airbag did not deploy and the passenger airbag where no one was sitting deployed. I was 8-months pregnant at the time of the accident and due to the airbag not deploying I sustained injuries to my stomach almost causing a early labor (pre-mature) I was fortunate that the doctors were able to stop my baby from coming.

“My car suddenly surged forward while parking (my foot was on the brake). The car struck a high curb backed up by a berm which brought it to a stop. I banked my head on the windshield (airbag did not deploy). Air dam was torn off. No other obvious damage. The car has not yet been inspected by dealer.”

“I was involved in a car accident with a drunk driver while traveling 65 MPH on highway and another truck was coming in my direction in the median at night with lights on. After I passed the truck I saw a parked dark car in the left lane with no lights on and tried to slow down, but I hit it pretty much with the front of my 2004 Nissan Maxima sl. Upon impact, the airbags did not deploy. Luckily, I was wearing a seat belt, but I sustained soft tissue injuries. …”

“My complaint is not about a part failing, but in Nissan's response to replace a part. My 2004 Nissan Maxima was involved in a collision where the side airbag deployed. In the repair work, the airbag module needs to be replaced (ordered). The part was ordered on oct. 12, 2011 and after more than two months of the part being ordered, the part has still not been produced by Nissan. First I was told it was a back-order issue, but then I lost my patience after 2 months and called Nissan corporate, I was told that it is a component distribution issue, which tells me absolutely (wait for it) nothing. …”
