AIR BAGS
MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. HE COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH SOME 50 GALLON BARRELS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD GOING 60 MPH. HE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHIN 10 FEET. NEITHER THE DRIVER SIDE NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THE ACCIDENT. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED AND RESPONDED SAYING THAT THE CONDITIONS WERE NOT MET TO ALLOW THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. OUR CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALED IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. HOWERVER, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND NOW WE ARE DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP. I AM PAYING FULL PRICE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS DEFECTIVE AND NO ONE AT NISSAN SEEMS TO CARE. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE..WHAT DO I DO?
