2005 NISSAN SENTRA Air Bags Problems

Nissan Dealer locally will not repair my vehicle as per the recall for my air bags. Have driven out of town to a Nissan dealer and they said they did not have the part in stock and could not fix it. I would like to have my car fixed before the passenger air bag EXPLODES.

I had an appointment for 10am I called ahead to confirm the estimated amount of time I was told it would take 2-4 hours. When I arrived they refused to service my vehicle they claimed they we're busy and refused to service my recall and treated me like a nuisance and with little respect. I spoke to the Nissan representative of San Leandro on Marina Blvd.

I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR BUT HAD STOPPED TO LET TRAFFIC BY (IN A TURN LANE) WHEN AN ONCOMING TRUCK BARRELLED TOWARD ME & HIT ME HEAD-ON, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. HIS TRUCK BENT IN THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY SENTRA BUT MY NEITHER MY DRIVER-SIDE OR PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF TO PROTECT ME & MY DAUGHTER! THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, CITING THEY COULD ERUPT & ARE DANGEROUS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR BAD THAT THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY?? WE WERE STOPPED & STILL IN A TURN LANE ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED & WRECKER GOT IT. FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS SENT TO SALVAGE/AUCTION COMPANY. I AM DISABLED &CAN'T UPLOAD PICTURES ETC BUT CAN SEND YOU EMAIL W OF MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER & POLICE REPORT IF YOU TELL WHERE TO SEND IT. BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD THINGS, ETC. I JUST THINK THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DIDN'T. HOWEVER I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE CAR IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL YET, AS TOLD TO DO BEFORE THIS ACCIDENT.

I AM VERY UNSAFE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH A TAKATA AIRBAG THAT CAN BECOME A DEATH INSTRUMENT AT ANY TIME BY SHOOTING PARTS INTO MY BRAIN AND BODY. *TR

1) I HEARD THAT AIRBAGS ON MY CAR MAY NOT FUNCTION AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO. THERE MAY BE A RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE. 2) FOR THE PAST 3-4 MONTHS, I HAVE NOTICED A THUMPING SOUND/VIBRATION WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKES. IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERYDAY. SOME DAYS, AFTER THE CAR IS DRIVEN A FEW MILES, EVERY SINGLE TIME I USE MY BRAKES THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT, I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO PUT ON BRAKES SUDDENLY AND I HEARD IT. NOW IT STILL HAPPENS, BUT I HEAR AND FEEL A THUMPING UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR ON THE LEFT BACK-WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER AND THIS SOUND OCCURS, THEY REPORT TO ME THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE THUMP UNDER THEIR FEET. OTHER DAYS I DON'T HEAR IT ALL. IF I HAVE A FULL LOAD OF FOUR PEOPLE, I HEAR IT AND FEEL IT FREQUENTLY. SOMETIME IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS UNDER THE TRUNK OR IN THAT BACK SEAT AREA. WE HAD THE CAR EXAMINED BY A LOCAL REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP, THEY DID NOT HEAR THE THUMP AND STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO HEAR IT OR FEEL IT IN ORDER TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS.. THEY DID EXAMINE THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING THAT SHOULD BE MAKING THIS NOISE, IN THEIR OPINION. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT IS GOING ON. CURRENT MILEAGE: 172,000. CELL PHONE: [XXX].

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA WHICH MY DAUGHTER DRIVES. THIS CAR HAS FRONT AIRBAGS AS WELL AS SIDE AIRBAGS. MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT 2 YEARS AGO. SHE HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. THERE WAS $4,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ON SATURDAY SHE WAS DRIVING TO NY FROM VA AND WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH AND A CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. SHE TRIED TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY, BUT ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF THE OTHER CAR. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR YESTERDAY....AGAIN NON OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND IT ALSO SMASHED THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, FRONT OR SIDE. *TR
