HI.WELL ON 051219 I MY NISSAN WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FROM MY WORK PLACE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN TO GET THE ROAD TO MY HOUSE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE INSIDE AIRBAGS TURN ON THEY POPPED .I GOT SO SCARRY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING THERE WERE CARS COMING IN BOTH SIDES I FELT MY LIFE IN TREAT THERE WAS FIRE AND SMOKE RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD .I DRIVE TO THE SIDE AND TURN MY TRUCK OFF IT WAS TOWED BY A FRIEND OF MINE NOW MI NISSAN IS PARKED ON MY GARAGE CANNOT TAKE TO WORK I AM HAVING TROUBLE TO GET A RIDE TO MY JOB IS THERE A WAY I CAN GET HELP

THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT-NOTHING WAS BUT OR BUMPED JUST DRIVING 35 MPH AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FULLY AND THE SEAT BELTS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIGHTENED TO THE POINT OF RESTRICTED BREATHING. THE SEATBELTS NO LOMGER CAN BE USED AS THEY SHOULD. THEY DO NOT EXTEND OUT FULLY. AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY. BEFORE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO PULL OVER TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FUNCTION AGAIN PROPERLY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY 100 MILES OR SO.

AIRBAG FLASHING ALL THE TAKATA RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE

WAS IN A ACCIDENT ON 6/12/2016, HAD FRONT END DAMAGE, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HONOLULU POLICE DEPT REPORT # 16-233155

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MODERATE BRUISING ACROSS THE CHEST DUE TO THE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

I WAS TRAVELING OVER THE 285 SPAGHETTI JUNCTION BRIDGE WHEN A CRASHING SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT DISRUPTED MY DRIVE. I GRIPPED THE STIRRING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. CATCHING MY BARRENS, WE REALIZED THAT THE SIDE "CURTAIN" AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT, NO ONE HIT US AND WE DID NOT HIT ANYONE SO WE WERE NOT SURE ON HOW OR WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ASSIST US STATING THAT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IT IS REALLY UPSETTING THAT THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERING THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE FRONT AND BLINDED MY VISIBILITY. INSTEAD NISSAN WILL NOT GIVE US A REASON FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OR EVEN CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE AS IT SITS AT THE NISSAN INFINITI DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO ASSIST OR BE ACCOUNTABLE. OUR HANDS ARE TIED LOCKED IN A CAR PAYMENT THAT WE ARE NOT EVEN ABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SINCE 2011 AND I FOUND OUT THIS YEAR THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT PURPOSE. I REPORTED TO NISSAN COMPANY ABOUT THAT AFTER MY CAR WAS REJECTED FOR THE ANNUAL INSPECTION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VIN# OF MY ARMADA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE SINCE HEARD THAT THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL OF NISSAN CARS FROM 2002 AND UP. I WONDER WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE SINCE MY ARMADA FALLS INTO THE YEARS MENTIONED. THANKS *JS

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN SIDE/CURTAIN AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED STATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED WHILE THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH LEAVING NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO IMPACT, THE VEHICLE REMAINED STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD WITH NO ISSUES. THE AIRBAGS JUST DEPLOYED. *TR

ON 10/16/10 MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH A TREE (CENTER OF BUMPER) WHILE DRIVING HIS 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. A HIGH DEGREE OF DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED ON THE VEHICLE. HE SUFFERED FROM FACIAL LACERATIONS AND BRUISING. THE AIRBAGS IN THE ARMADA DID NOT DEPLOY FOR SOME REASON. WE HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING NISSAN TO REPORT THIS. MY GUESS IS THAT HE HIT THE TREE DOING AT LEAST 20 MPH BASED ON THE DAMAGE (ALTHOUGH MY GUESS MAY NOT BE CORRECT). *TR

SIDE AND BACK CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. NO EARLY WARNING ON DASH BOARD, DRIVING LESS THAN 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FAILED SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BUT COULD NOT BE SURE UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1400.00 NOT REFUNDABLE IF THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT COULD ALSO BE THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SEAT. REPORTEDLY FROM BOTH THE DEALERS COMMENTS AND MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE TYPE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. ON 5 OCCASIONS, THE AIR BAG SENSOR CONTROL MODULE WAS RESET. ON ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS THERE WAS A BAD CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY AND IT FAILED TO RESET. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE RECENT FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE AIR BAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN IMPACT OR CRASH. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT FOR THREE WEEKS. AT THE END OF THE THREE WEEKS, HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT THE COMPUTER THAT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE INDICATED THAT IT HAD BEEN IN A ROLLOVER CRASH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DEFECT HAD BEEN A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND WAS NOT DUE TO A ROLLOVER CRASH. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 55,532.

FAILURE OF AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT, SHE WAS TRAVELING AT AROUND 30 MPH THE OTHER AROUND 35 MPH. HER VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH CAUSED HER TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH HER CHEST CAUSING CHEST PAIN, BUSING AND A POSSIBLE BACK INJURY. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRE AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL ON SCENE ALL INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. PLEASE HELP. *JB

1) 130LB FEMALE ADULT SITTING PROPERLY IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. NO MATTER THE SEATING POSITION, E.G. UPRIGHT, SLOUCHING OR OTHERWISE, THE INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS SYSTEM IS DISABLED. 2) VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A SOLUTION, SUGGESTING THAT A GREATER WEIGHT WAS NECESSARY TO ENGAGE THE AIRBAG. 3) COMPARABLE VEHICLES, AND NISSAN DOCUMENTATION SHOW THAT WEIGHTS UNDER 60 LBS SHOULD DISABLE THE AIRBAG FEATURE. NISSAN IS DEFICIENT AND NEGLIGENT IN ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO BE OPERATING WITH A KNOWN SERIOUS DEFECT.

DT: SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT IF THAT HAPPENS THE AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT HAD TO BE RESET. *AK

MY WIFE OF 110 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATES THAT IT IS OFF. WITH A LARGE DEGREE OF FIDGETING IN THE SEAT IT WILL SHUT OFF THE LIGHT BUT TURNS BACK ON WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS. WE HAVE SET IN OTHER NISSAN ARMADAS AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF WITH HER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.*AK

I PURCHASE A NEW NISSAN ARMADA IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. WHEN DRING TWO WEEKS I NOTICED THE PASSENEGER AIR-BAG LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND OFF. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP & NISSAN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SEAT WOULD NOT GO OFF UNLESS THE PERSON WEIGHED OVER 120 POUNDS WHICH MY WIFE IS LESS THAN THAT. THIS INFORMATION WASN'T DISCLOSED WHEN PURCHASING THE CAR OR IS IT CLEARLY STATED IN THE MANUEL. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT MY WIFE DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE. THERE ARE MANY WOMEN THAT DON'T MEET THIS WEIGHT REQUIREMENT WHO WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. *AK
