What owners wrote
The other driver made a imp left turn and I hit his 2006 f150 truck with 2006 nissan sentra. I was going about 40 to 45 miles per hour. My air bags did not di-deploy. My auto is at mike shad nissan being repaired for physical damage. I have contacted nissan to check the air bags out I was told it would be about 6 weeks before the report would be complete. I'm just a scared to drive an auto if the air bags are defected. I want to know before I drive the nissan back off the lot.
Air bags deployed, the drivers side deployed while closing the door vehicle not moving, the steering wheel airbag & the dash airbag deployed while the vehicle was in motion, on rural road, it was a short distance from my house so after the bags blew, I drove the vehicle back to the house, no police were involved.
