Frontier

  • 12,000 miles
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, both the front driver and passenger side curtain air bags deployed inadvertently. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for diagnosis however, the vehicle was not repaired and the dealer referred him to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified and they had an engineer further inspect the vehicle. The engineer informed the contact that the air bags functioned properly, despite the fact that the vehicle was not involved in any type of crash or impact. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

Frontier 6-cyl

  • 7,400 miles
Myself and one passenger were off-roading in my 2012 Frontier pro-4X going over a bumpy surface and without warning the side airbags went off! luckily no one was injured, but we both got quite a scare due to the noise and lack of visibility. There is no damage to the front end nor were we at any degree of angle. Yes it was bumpy but when you pay for a vehicle that states clearly off road on the side you expect it has the suspension to support the ride. The very last thing I was thinking of was the air bags, until they came out.
