What owners wrote
On a FM road, doing approximately 60 MPH. Frontal impact with a guard rail, went over rail, hit tree. Air bags did not deploy. Driver hit steering wheel upon impact with guardrail, hit windshield with head when vehicle struck tree. (not wearing seat belt at time of impact.) vehicle has been declared a total loss. We believe the issue is, the airbag sensors.
The fuel gauge goes to empty even when the tank is at least half full; it does same when vehicle is standing idle for a short while too. Airbag dash warning light flashing. There are recalls for both these issues, but nissan claims my VIN is not included. The date assigned to the "when did this happen" is an approximation.
