2002 Nissan Sentra Air bags Problems

“I was traveling to my new home when I realized the car in front of me was completely stopped to make a left hand turn. I slammed on my brakes, but hit the car in front of me. My air bags did not deploy. I am concerned because the crash caused 4 fractures in my right ankle and foot.had the airbags deployed, would they have held me back in my seat and lessoned the crash impact on my foot/ankle?”

This difficulty contradicts the very nature of a recall: to ensure the safety of the driver as soon as possible. …”

“Takata recall; after purchasing vehicle and driving for about 10 minutes; check engine light suddenly comes on prior to picking up speed to enter highway; vehicle abruptly loses power at a speed of 65 miles per hour and stalls in traffic causing a near fatal traffic accident; after running the VIN number in NHTSA database vehicle was never recalled for grossly negligent issue with crankshaft and camshaft position sensors.
