1998 Nissan Sentra Airbags Problems

Your car was hit from behind at an estimated 30 mph and pushed into another vehicle, causing significant damage to the front bumper, radiator, battery, trunk, and rear bumper. The airbags did not deploy, and you were told this may have been because the impact was from the rear and involved a vehicle with a higher bumper height. You're concerned that rear impacts still push you forward and that the growing number of SUVs and minivans on the road makes this a serious safety issue. The repair would likely involve inspecting and potentially recalibrating the airbag sensor system and replacing damaged structural components.

Your car was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle. During the crash, both airbags failed to deploy, and the driver's seat belt broke during impact, causing the driver to be ejected from the vehicle. The car then hit a concrete barrier, resulting in fatalities and injuries to passengers. The vehicle was declared a total loss.

Your car was involved in a head-on collision at 40 mph, but neither of the front airbags deployed during the crash. The driver was injured on the shoulder and right arm from the seat belt. This is a serious safety issue since airbags are designed to protect you during frontal collisions. The airbag system will need to be diagnosed and repaired by a technician to determine why it failed to deploy.

You were rear-ended at 30-40 mph, and your airbags failed to deploy during the collision, resulting in your car being totaled. You reported this to Nissan but received no response or action regarding the airbag failure.
