2001 Nissan Xterra Air Bags & Restraints Problems

MAJOR INTRUSION ON FRONT END AFTER A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITHOUT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER SLIDING ON ICE AND BEING HIT HEAD ON BY A FORD F150.

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD, CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH HER DRIVER DOOR. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY AIRBAG IN MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE RESULTS WERE THAT I FAILED TO PROPERLY DECELERATE; THIS WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 8/29/06 WHEN A VEHICLE STRUCK ME HEAD-ON. MY AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE FAILED TO DEPLOY, ALTHOUGH I SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES I FEEL THAT MY AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK CONCERNING ON CHECKING THE VEHICLE, ETC. THE SUV IS ALREADY REPAIRED IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 WEEKS. *NM

THE CENTER SEAT BELT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ADEQUATELY ACCOMODATE A CHILD SAFETY SEAT (IN THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE). THE FEMALE STRAP IS TOO LONG AND WILL NOT TIGHTEN PROPERLY. IF YOU CAN GET IT TO TIGHTEN PROPERLY, IT IS INSIDE THE CAR SEAT AND POSES A THREAT TO THE CHILD BECAUSE IT IS IN THEIR BACK. THE CHILD COULD LEAN BACK ON IT AT THAT POINT AND UNFASTEN THE BELT. IF THEIR WAS AN ACCIDENT, THE BELT FASTENER COULD COME THROUGH THE CLOTH PART OF THE CAR SEAT AND INJURE THE CHILD.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, HITTING A GUARDRAIL, AND ON SECOND IMPACT HITTING A VEHICLE HEAD-ON. UPON IMPACT, FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK
