What owners wrote
Car was going 34MPH at the point of impact, no airbags deployed...this was before the recall of the passenger side airbags: however severe damage done to the drivers side of the car as well and no deployment of any airbag. ...updated 07/11/17
The hood flew open while traveling on a state numbered route approximately 35-40 MPH. We were blessed that it didn't cause a wreck with injuries. This is common from what I have discovered, yet no remedy. I hate this fact because it seems as though the manufacturer is simply waiting for all who own this vehicle to phase out, sell, and move on. We will do this, trade towards another make forever. No nissans no more never. Thanks for nothing nissan.
