Nissan Sentra car problem I have Nissan Sentra and had a problem on Jan 9, 2008. My wife driving car and suddenly both airbag blow out and broke front windshield glass. After this incident I contacted Nissan North America (1800nissan1) and submitted compliant (file# 6000221), after two week (Jan 21) Nissan send some one to inspect my car. During this time I call numerous times to get them repair car or give me rental car but they told me they are investigating problem so they can't do anything. I also called state farm and submitted claim for this accident. But since this is Nissan car defect I would like Nissan to fix this problem. Currently I don't have any car and I did not fix my car because I thought Nissan will fix this. Finally on Feb 09, 2008, I received letter from Nissan saying this is not their problem so then can not help me on this problem. I am worry about thousands of Nissan driver on the road and this can happen to anyone and can be a big accident. I would like to get help from you on this issue. Please let me know what I should do. If you need any further information please feel free to contact me. Thanks and hope to hear from you. Nimesh patel
