Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently filed a claim regarding my drivers side airbag staying on. Today my passenger side airbag light came on and shows constantly that the passenger airbag is off while the engine is on and I'm driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11340952, filed 2020-07, 47,636 miles“The problem I have encountered is a flashing airbag light with a vehicle having less than 31000 miles and just out of factory warranty as of march 2018. Also, the passenger seat airbag light stays on even when occupied by an adult. I contacted the dealer and I was informed there were no recalls for my vehicle. I conducted a search and found numerous other Nissan vehicles had the same issues (occupant system) but mine is not listed. My vehicle has not been involved in any event which would have caused this since I have owned the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11128141, filed 2018-09, 30,000 miles“While driving home from work a deer ran in front of my vehicle and at 62 MPH on a highway my car collided with a deer. As you will see the damage done to my car the car is a possible totaled vehicle. My concern was my air bags did not deploy on this kind of impact. I was told by Nissan they are not made to deploy upon impact buy only by the deceleration of my car. This does not seem to be accurate to me in the fact that it was over a 200 pound animal and my engine was pushed back into the firewall, lost my breaks in the road, and as you can see there is a lot of damage done to the care. …”
NHTSA complaint #11154678, filed 2018-11, 93,000 miles“Nissan Versa was struck on driver side front bumper and panel, the windshield and back glass blown out from impact. Driver window shattered, front axle broke, and front window cracked, Versa then flipped on passenger side, where it skid briefly, passenger window shattered, car came to rest and remained on its passenger side. No airbags deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10748688, filed 2015-08, 7,164 miles“The automobile was hit very hard on the drivers side door. The door caved in almost to the steering wheel. Air bags did not deploy as expected. The automobile was so severely damages that it was declared a total loss. The vehicle was traveling at freeway speed (65 to 70 MPH).”
