2000 NISSAN SENTRA Air Bags Problems

I WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WHEN A SUBURBAN WAS SPEEDING AND WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION. HE HIT ME FROM THE BACK WHICH CASED A 4 CAR WRECK. MY TRUNK WAS LITERALLY PUSHED TO MY FRONT SEAT. THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS UNDER THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I HIT MY SHOULDER ON THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH MY NECK AND SHOULDERS. THIS WRECK MADE ME DISABLED. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. IT WAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WASN'T MUCH LEFT OF THE CAR AND MY AIR BAGS NEVER CAME OUT. THE AIR BAGS MORE THAN LIKELY WOULD HAVE SAVED ME FROM THAT HORRIBLE IMPACT. I AM NOW DISABLED FOR LIFE AND MY DOCTOR MENTIONED THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE TAKING THE FORCE OF THE INJURIES. *TR

I WAS ON A FOUR LANE PUBLIC HIGHWAY AND WAS BOXED INTO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH LANES TO AVOID TRAFFIC. ANOTHER CAR SPED UP AND BOXED ME INTO THE RIGHT LANE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND DECREASED MY SPEED FROM 45 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MPH. I CRASHED INTO A COMPLETELY STOPPED JEEP CHEROKEE. MY NISSAN SUSTAINED HEAVY FRONTAL DAMAGE AND WOULD LATER BE TOTALED. THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CAR I RAN INTO WAS A JEEP SO THE BUMPER RAN THROUGH MY ENGINE AND UPWARD. HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER THIS ACTION WOULD HAVE CONTINUED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED MYSELF FROM INJURY WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I SUSTAINED THE TYPICAL WHIPLASH AND SORE BACK BUT THANKFULLY WASN'T SEVERELY INJURED IN THE CRASH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT AS WELL AS TESTIMONY FROM A LOCAL OFFICER WHO INSPECTED THE CRASH THAT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON FOR OVER A WEEK. THE DEALER TOLD ME BY PHONE TO PULL OVER IF IT STARTED FLASHING. AFTER THE CAR WAS CHECKED, IT TURNED OUT IT NEEDED A " NEW MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR". IT WAS A SATURDAY SO THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T REACH NISSAN MOTOR CORP TO SEE IF I HAD TO PAY. I DID CALL NISSAN MOTOR CORP MYSELF BECAUSE THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME TUESDAY THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID I HAVE TO PAY. THE REP AT NISSAN MOTOR CORP SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND NTHING WAS SOLVED. SINCE I HAD A COUPON, I DID SAVE OVER $200 BUT STILL HAD TO PAY $534.07 ON A 2000 CAR. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFTY FEATURE THAT NISSAN SHOULD NOT OF MADE ME PAY FOR. I DIDN'T PURCHASE THE CAR FROM THIS DEALER.*AK
