“I was involved in a car accident where an audi was totaled and clobbered my front passenger side. This incident was already reported due to a throttle acceleration issue while I was trying to speed up. I was hit pretty hard and my airbags did not deploy.”

NHTSA complaint #11366224, filed 2020-10, 75,000 miles

“I have had this truck since jan 2017. I have only 10,000 miles on it and I have brought the trunk in to the dealership twice and I'm about to head in for a third time regarding the airbag indication light. The dealership just resets the computer system and as I drive off I had re appeared and the last time it took a few days but it keeps reappearing. I do not know if the airbag will deploy if I'm in an accident.”

NHTSA complaint #11032044, filed 2017-10, 10,000 miles

“Traveling at 25-30 MPH on a dry, grass covered road, applied the brakes to slow down, no braking occurred; I then pushed on the brakes as hard as I could, I felt the ABS pulsating, began to hear a clunking sound and feel a clicking in my brake pedal matching the timing of the clunking sound. Since the brakes were not responding I then turned the wheel to the left attempting to turn the truck, it did not respond; I then turned the steering wheel to the right, no response. The truck continued straight into a tree, head on collision. …”

“I was involved in a car accident where someone was hurt. I own a 2017 Nissan Titan xd with 75000 miles. I was taking a left turn at a yellow light, I slowed down and then tried to speed up. The accelerator will not respond for 3-4 seconds when I do this, it has been this way since I bought it. Looking online it is a common issue. However this time I could not move fast enough and an audi slammed into my passenger side because I couldnt move. The kid in the audi was injured and his car is totaled. Mine was repaired by my insurance. My airbags also failed to deploy. …”
