The driver side airbag did not deploy in a major accident involving totaling the entire car. The passenger airbag deployed, but not the driver airbag. The vehicle was in motion, driving down the interstate and involved in a head-on collision, going 70 miles per hour.
First problem was the driver side visor which kept flopping down causing a hazard blocking the driver's vision. Second problem happen later, the driver seat broke while driving, left rear bracket broke. Call and wrote to nissan customer service and was told both problems were out of warranty and they would not honor my claim. This is the third nissan that I have owned, and will never buy another nissan product.
Recently my wife had been informing me of a problem on our 2007 nissan murano was unstable when being driven, and makes loud clunking noises when turning and reversing at low speed. I drove the SUV myself on december 2nd, and while turning a corner at a major intersection it went over a small bump or manhole cover. At that time the rear end of the car fishtailed, and I nearly lost control of the vehicle.
