Side Air bags deployed while crossing a railroad crossing.

The Air Bag Clock Spring Spiral Cable failed on 6-29-2022. Nissan replaced the component 6-30-2022 at a cost to me of $852.72. I spoke with several service technicians at this dealership and I quote... yep, this happens all the time with these clock springs. I called Nissan consumer affairs. My case number was 46685014. They said since this is covered under the 5 year 60 K miles that they would not cover the cost. My 2014 truck has 66K. I said to them I felt that this is a safety issue and there should not be a time or mileage limit attached to a safety issue since the airbags will not deploy and that this problem is occurring often, according to Nissan's own service technicians. Also, from one of Nissan's website "How often do Air Bag Clocksprings need replacement? The airbag clock spring is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. I feel this should be investigated by your agency.

Takata recall. When in a "front end collision" at a high rate of speed (est. 70-80 mph), at impact, no air bags were deployed and resulted in hitting my head either against the steering wheel or the driver's side window (I am unsure, as I lost consciousness for seconds after the collision). This collision occurred, most recently, on 08/28/18. I was also involved in a "front end collision" with a semi-truck/18-wheeler in February of 2018. This was also at a high rate of speed but the impact was to the passenger side, predominantly. Although I didn't have a passenger, I still was hit hard enough that the impact jolted my head to, once again, hit my steering wheel and resulting in being transported to the er via los angeles fire department. Both of these accidents occurred on the highway and in motion.
