The vehicle engine stalled while driving in motion at approximately 65 miles per hour, and occasionally would stall without warning while waiting at a traffic light stop. The vehicle occasionally would not allow for the key to turn its ignition and would remain locked unpredictably and would require extended amounts of time to lock/unlock via security key fob repeatedly to allow for the key to turn the ignition.

The contact owned a 2015 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 70 MPH, a deer ran head-on into the vehicle and crashed through the windshield. The contact stated that the deer's antlers were stuck inside the vehicle as the deer frantically tried to escape the vehicle. The contact stated that the driver and passenger side air failed to deploy upon impact. The contact also stated that only the driver-side curtain air bag deployed. The steering wheel had locked without warning as her husband was able to stop the vehicle right before hitting two guardrails. The authorities were called to the scene and a police report was filed. The contact and her husband were treated on scene for scrapes and bruises but did not go to the hospital for further evaluation. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was totaled. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000. The VIN was not available.

My daughter was involved in an accident going approximately 30 miles per hour. She and a Chevy Silverado were traveling in opposite directions when their traffic signals both turned yellow. Thinking she was going to stop, he pulled out in front of her causing her to T-bone his truck. Though she hit head on, not a single air bag deployed. The impact was enough that her car has been deemed a total loss and she suffered a concussion. She was not wearing a seat belt unfortunately.

While driving home from work a deer ran in front of my vehicle and at 62 mph on a highway my car collided with a deer. As you will see the damage done to my car the car is a possible totaled vehicle. My concern was my air bags did not deploy on this kind of impact. I was told by Nissan they are not made to deploy upon impact buy only by the deceleration of my car. This does not seem to be accurate to me in the fact that it was over a 200 pound animal and my engine was pushed back into the firewall, lost my breaks in the road, and as you can see there is a lot of damage done to the care. I called Nissan to express my concern of this and they said it is normal and the air bags would have caused more damage to me then the impact. I feel they are blowing off something that could be a safety issue in this car.

The problem I have encountered is a flashing airbag light with a vehicle having less than 31000 miles and just out of factory warranty as of March 2018. Also, the passenger seat airbag light stays on even when occupied by an adult. I contacted the dealer and I was informed there were no recalls for my vehicle. I conducted a search and found numerous other Nissan vehicles had the same issues (occupant system) but mine is not listed. My vehicle has not been involved in any event which would have caused this since I have owned the vehicle. The listed date and milage is approximate of when I noticed the issue.
