What owners wrote

On august 25, 2014 while I did escape with my life and my whole body intact, after a witness was on scene she said she her a loud pop, well that loud pop was my front left (immediate driver's side tire) and I ended up in a brick wall. Not pleased with bridgestone, as my vehicle only had no more than 8000 miles on it, but very pleased with the vehicle and it's features.

Reported at 2,500 miles, August 2014 CrashInjury

The airbags did not deploy when my husband wrecked the 2012 nissan sentra 6-24-13. My husband swerved to miss a deer that was in the road, hit a culvert, got air born, took out a reflector sign, and crashed into the ground. The car had +$7,000 worth of damages and the airbag did not deploy. I think there is a manufacturing issue. It got air born and hit a culvert. I think an airbag should have deployed.
