With extensive front-end damage the air bags did not deploy. While driving our vehicle on the interstate, my son rear-ended a Ford winstar van. He believes that he was going approximately 60 mph and was able to brake to some extent before hitting her rear bumper. Fortunately no one was injured. However there was extensive damage to the front of the Maxima. This included the front bumper, grill, radiator, hood and other components that I was unable to assess. However our body shop and insurance company felt that the cost of repairs exceeded the value of the vehichle such that they "totaled" the car. My concern was that with such extensive front-end damage the air bags did not deploy. Nissan seems to think that this was appropriate. How can we determine if this is correct. Please advise. Thank you. Follow up letter from 10078979

I was at a complete stop at the intersection federal and 33rd street and when proceeded to turn right very slowly, approximately 02 -05 miles P/H both of the front air bags infalted on me. My neck has been hurting since. There was no collision. I did not hit anything. There is no damadge to vehicle. At this point I reported top Nissan corporation they send an investigator and after three days of inspection they said they will notify me in 4 to 6 weeks. The vehicle is covered under extended wareenty. At this point they refuse to repair my vehicle.

Travreling 45mph when another vehicle was making a turn in front, consumer's vehicle swerved to avoid hitting the other vehicle. Instead, hit vehicle on driver's side then on passenger's side. Upon impact, the air bags beployed but must have popped or fizzled out. Driver's head made contact with the front windshild and there was smoke inside of vehicle.
