1996 Nissan Sentra Air bags Problems

“July 20 2016 we were rear ended by a honda accord doing 40 MPH while we were stopped at a light. The impact slammed us into the chevy silverado in front of us. Neither airbag deployed.”

“Takata recall . Mad a right hand turn and both front airbags randomly deployed.they caused the front windshield to crack badly. Didnt hit another car nor anything with making the turn. Was moving in a city street at 9pm so not much traffic. Turned into an empty street luckily.”

“I was hit from behind (while stopped) and was pushed into the person in front of me. The mechanics and the other person's insurance co. Said the air bags should not have deployed. We weren't going fast enough. Well they did, and now I'm stuck with the bill.”

“One in february 2001, I started up the car. The air bag light started flashing. It was 30 days before I could get it in to slidell Nissan. The mechanic manager told me that the air bag had just gone bad. He could not tell me specially why it failed. But, he said that it would cost be $652.00 to get it fixed. I have never had to use the airbag, and now I find that if I have a collision, I will not have air bag protection at all. I then searched the internet and found Nissan is on record as having problems with their older air bags, 1996 included. Nissan will not fix this for me for free.”

“My husband was in an accident in july of this year. He collided head on with some 50 gallon barrels on the side of the road going 60 MPH. He came to a complete stop within 10 feet. Neither the driver side nor passenger side airbag deployed in the accident. Nissan was contacted and responded saying that the conditions were not met to allow the airbags to deploy. I do not know where to go from here. Our car would have been totaled if the airbags would have deployed. Howerver, because they did not the insurance company repaired the vehicle and now we are driving around in a death trap. …”
