ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT, WHEN SEAT WARMER IS ON BOTH LOW OR HIGH SETTING, RIGHT SIDE OF SEAT GETS EXTREMELY HOT. IT HAS BURNED ME SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW MY HUSBAND WAS BURNED WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR 10 MIN. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.
On September 22, 2022, my car was hit from the rear. The car hit me so hard that their front end was totalled. 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.
My wife Lois (84) was driving the car. she was alone. The air bags on the passenger side exploded and sprayed her with its contents that appear to me to be deadly and can cause death or brain injury. The explosion caused her to move the car and she was bumped by a vehicle on the drivers side. That damage was very very slight. The big cost was the air bags. I have to pay for that because Allstate would not cover it because they said it was the air bags fault that they do not cover. I think that is correct. While the 7K cost hurts it is nothing compared to what this did to my wife. She is a very intelligent person with excellent memory. She ran our household paying all bills etc. Since the incident she has lost her short term memory. Now she need consent help with almost everything and we can no longer let her drive. The contact stated that his wife has suffered tremendously mentally due to the airbag explosion. There has been no assistance from the Nissan dealership or the insurance company, and the airbag company is still looking into the issue. As a result, the contact sold the vehicle as a loss.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall upon the depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to an unknown dealer where they found no defect with the vehicle. The contact then stated that while making a left turn, the vehicle stalled in traffic and was hit by another vehicle. The air bags deployed upon impact. The contact suffered burns from the air bags as well as minor bruising to various parts of her body. The whereabouts of the other driver were unknown. The contact was uncertain if a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer was notified about the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired or deemed destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
While pulling into a parking slot the vehicle accelerated and crashed thru the front of a medical clinic and into an inner wall. Air bags did NOT deploy.
When I got into a car crash and I hit the deer really hard the airbags on the car did not deploy which where the deer almost smacked right into my window and went inside the car but damage and vehicle was not drivable at all need to tow it shop front car damaged to wheel at
