Collision into heavy BUS that crossed my path. Nissan totaled, airbags failed with high speed crash 55 plus mph with injuries. The passenger seat airbag light always stayed on since purchase. Nissan doing all they can to get out of the situation. Lots of excuses. Turned issue over to my insurance company to try to resolve with Nissan.
