Air bags deployed, the drivers side deployed while closing the door vehicle not moving, the steering wheel airbag & the dash airbag deployed while the vehicle was in motion, on rural road, it was a short distance from my house so after the bags blew, I drove the vehicle back to the house, no police were involved. Did not have collision insurance on the vehicle, I called Nissan and they said there was no recall on the airbags at that time, since there is a recall I asked Nissan to replace the blown airbags and they refused, said it was not their fault. The passenger side airbag did not deploy, and I was told that is the only one on recall, what can if anything I do?
