AIR BAGS
MY SON WRECKED MY CAR WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN UNSAFE LEFT TURN. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLES WERE ABOUT 10 MPH FOR THE NISSAN AND ABOUT 40 MPH FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE (FORD EXPLORER). THE FRONT OF THE NISSAN IS GONE AND THE AIRGABS DIDN'T DEPLOY. LUCKILY, THEY WERE NOT NEEDED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES, BUT I FEET THAT THE IMPACT SHOULD HAVE ACTIVATED THEM. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND ASDED THAT THEY SEND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE CAR BUT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN MY REQUEST SERIOUSLY. I JUST GOT A NUMBER FOR NISSAN CORP THAT I PLAN TO CALL.
