On Nov. 28, 2022, the car dealership ( Nash Chevrolet) was able to fix my car from the accident and after fixing my car, they called to tell me my air bag light had came on. They couldn't find the issue, didn't think it was from the accident and stated that Nissan would need to fix it. Nissan is refusing to fix the air bag unless I pay for it out of pocket.

LAST YEAR I WAS REARENDED WHILE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS HARD ENOUGH THAT MY L-5 VERTEBRAE WAS BROKEN AND DISPLACED A CENTIMETER AWAY FROM SEVERING MY SPINAL CORD. IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME UNTIL MY DEPOSITION AND THE LAWYERS WERE ASKING ME WHY THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM. I WAS SITTING STATIONARY ON HWY 80 E IN STATESBORO GEORGIA WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO BABCOCK AND MORE HOME FURNISHINGS WHEN I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND. THERE IS NO TURN LANE IT'S A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WITH MY TURN SIGNAL IN.

WHILE ENTERING A LEFT TURN LANE (UNSURE OF SPEED AS WAS SLOWING FOR THE RED LIGHT), VEHICLE BUMPED A CURB ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. DID NOT GO OVER IT, BRUSHED AGAINST IT. NO BODY DAMAGE EXCEPT SOME SCRAPING ON THE RIMS OF THE WHEELS. THE TIRES REMAINED INFLATED. HOWEVER, THE SENSOR DETECTED IT AS A SIDE IMPACT, AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS (NOT THE STEERING WHEEL, JUST THE SIDE) DEPLOYED, INJURING AND DISORIENTING THE DRIVER. VEHICLE WAS UNDER CONTROL, AND DRIVER WAS IN NO DANGER UNTIL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ASSERTED THAT THE SENSOR ACTED PROPERLY AS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A ROLL OVER (THEN SHOULDN'T ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED?). THE SENSOR IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE AND DANGEROUS AS I WAS SEVERELY DISORIENTED (AND MAY HAVE BRIEFLY LOST CONSCIOUSNESS) FROM THE AIRBAGS AND AM LUCKY THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS NOT MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED. FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, THE INSURANCE AGENT, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER, ETC. WERE SHOCKED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED IN THIS SITUATION. BRUSHING CURBS IS WELL WITHIN THE NORMAL PARAMETERS OF DRIVING AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF.

THE AIRBAGS ON MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE NEVER DEPLOYED. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HAD A SNEEZING SPELL. MY EYES CLOSED AND MY ARM JERKED THE WHEEL DURING THE SPELL. MY CAR TURNED INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT I NEVER EVEN APPLIED THE BRAKES. MY CAR PLOWED THROUGH THE THICK WOODS AND TREES FOR OVER 500FT AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED.. FINALLY COMING TO REST AFTER MAKING HEAD ON CONTACT WITH A BIG TREE. WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING TOWED OUT OF WOODS, THE TOW TUCK DRIVER FOUND THE AIRBAG SENSOR BROKEN OFF UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL PICS FROM THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND FROM THE TOW YARD WHERE MY CAR WAS BROUGHT. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR FROM THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. THE RESULTING DAMAGE RESULTED IN THE CAR BEING A TOTAL LOSS WITH INSURANCE COMPANY . PICTURES SHOWING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR REFLECT THE FACT NO AIRBAGS EVER WENT OFF. I ALSO INCLUDED A PICTURE SHOWING THE BROKEN OFF SENSOR SITTING ON MY HOOD. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT IN THE CRASH. BUT I AND REPORTING THE CRASH BECAUSE THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. THERE CLEARLY IN A DESIGN FLAW. YOU WOULD THINK IF THE SENSOR BRAKES OFF, THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE THE AIRBAGS. CLEARLY NOT THE CASE IN MY ACCIDENT.
