Purchased in Nov 06, Nissan Altima 2006 special edition. Supplemental air bag warning light came on 6/3/09 and has been flashing ever since. Have made an app at the Nissan dealer to see if that's covered under warranty.

My wife was in a mva on 05/08/09. Her 2006 Nissan Altima was in a crash at approx. 30 mph. It has $7800 plus in damage. It was a front end crash. The airbag did not deploy. She was thrown into the windshield & has suffered a concussion, doctors say maybe tba, bruised chest, abdomen, facial bruising, and major knee injuries. Her seatbelt also did not hold. The car had never been involved in any accidents.
