When we were taught how to drive we were told to place our hands at the 10 and 2 O'clock position on the steering wheel. If that is where your hands are at the deployment of an airbag it throws your left arm against the windshield and it's frame which results in broken arms and wrists. I think there should be a warning for this.

Air bags failed to deploy in a 45 mph front collision. Nissan came and took the air bags from the vehicle for testing. Prior to testing, Nissan was friendly and helpful. After testing was completed, they will not return our calls or let us known what they found out. Communication has ceased from their end. ***dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****760744

To whom it may concern: I was in a terrible car accicent on 11/1/00. Neither airbag deployed and I had damage on all four sides of the vehicle. The worst of the damage was in the front... the front of the car was gone down to the engine. This vehicle never drove well during the rain. In an ironic way, I am happy to know I am not the only one this has happend to. When I contacted the dealership, they refused to answer my questions & just said, "Nissan has a fail proof airbag deployment system." I advised I had video type of the vehicle after he accident, but they didn't even want to see or acknowledge what had happend. Please feel free to contact me with any answers or information pertaining to this situation. Thank you.
