I was driving when a man ran the stop sign and plowed into the side of my car. I could see that he was not going to stop so I swerved and started braking in order to miss him. I had no were to go because there was a guard rail on my drivers side and people sitting at the stop sign that I almost hit head on trying to avoid this guy. He hit me so hard that it broke the passenger side front tire and it totaled my car. But the airbag did not deploy causing me to get tossed and bruised up even though I was wearing my seat belt. There is a problem with the air bags in this vehicle. I do have a police report and an attorney concerning this matter. If you need more information please contact me by email. Consumer stated she would follow up on 06/26/19 and has been unresponsive since.

Takata recall- this car is the worst and horribly built. If you sit in the car it looks like a nice car but if you take a peak you will see how horrible it is. Under the steering wheel you can see the wires hanging out. The fuel on the car is done. We always get the car checked and it's always something wrong with the fuel. Which probably has to do with the 2015 recall that we weren't properly notified about. The windows do a weird lock thing, where sometimes I think I'm unlocking the window and the door at the same time. I hate that we invested so much into this Nissan and it's probably the worst car ever (and ive only had Nissan since I was 16 so that says alot). When your driving the car jerks like it wants to shut off but when we take it anywhere they don't see the problem. The car is trash.

Air bag light went on so we took it in for service. Vehicle has 60K miles and has never been involved in an accident. Ed martin fishers in Nissan said that replacing the drivers side airbag may fix the issue. Its not covered under warranty and the replacement is approximately $1400. How is this not a covered recall or warranty issue. It should't be a wear and tear item and there is nothing we did to break the air bag?
