What owners wrote
I ran off the left side of a mountain road hitting a large tree with the driver's door, then continued down the hill another ~20 feet slamming into a boulder. When I hit the tree, the driver's door window broke as well as the driver's side rear door. The door was jammed shut. The nissan was equipped with front side impact airbags and both front and rear head protection airbags. None were deployed. When I hit the boulder, the front passenger airbag deployed, but the driver's front airbag failed to deploy.
Dt: the consumer's vehicle swerved to hit debris in the roadway. The debris struck the gas tank, resulting in a gas leak. 18 gallons of gas spilled from the tank. No fires or injuries reported. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and the gas tank was replaced. No problems with the gas tank since replacement of gas tank. The consumer paid out of pocket for the repairs.
