Hello, my daughter was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which the driver side airbag deployed. She developed some deep cuts on her head and I believe a fracture. I am concerned that her car might be part of the takata airbag recall because I believe that there were pieces of metal from the airbag that caused the deep cuts on her head. Please investigate this. I don't have any photos right now or police reports, but I can get that information if required. Thanks

On Sunday, Sept 22 2019 at around 1:40pm we were headed home from an vacation at a cabin rental property in sevierville, tn. Not even quarter mile from our cabin on a straight and down hill road all of a sudden the brakes stopped functioning. I applied brakes multiple times but the car didn't stop and in order to avoid a small pond on the right hand side and the car in front I had to divert my car on the shoulder of the road. As I hit shoulder of the road the front passenger wheel busted and the car eventually stopped further at the up hill. I don't know if the brakes failed and/or the ABS and/or the onboard computer malfunctioned. I did see ABS and vdc lights sign coming on the dashboard for at least 2 hours before disappearing on its own. Also since then the tire pressure sign has never gone off. The tire pressure signs blinks for a little while every time start the car and then gets steady. This seems to be an safety concern to me as I still can't understand how would the car do nothing even after applying the brakes so many times. With an 2011 model and only 56000 miles on it I would never expect something like this to happen. So scared to drive the car now as we have an two year old who was in the car at the time of the incident & my wife got an minor injury to her left elbow. I reported the incident to Nissan by calling 800-647-7261 on Sept 24 2019 and haven't heard anything back from them since than.

Flapping sound on driver side when speeding. My vehicle makes a flapping sound when I speed more than 65 mph. I can hear it on the driver side only. It causes the steering wheel to vibrate. I had the shocks replaced and it still makes the sound.

Vehicle was involved in an accident, where my car was a total loss. The seat belts on the driver side did not lock once my car was hit by the other vehicle who caused the accident. This caused my brother the driver to go forward. Also the airbag did not deploy when my vehicle was struck. Causing more harm and worse injuries, because there was nothing to keep my brother from going forward. The vehicle was sitting still waiting to turn, when it was struck by a truck that failed to brake and just crashed into the back of my car. The accident took place on a city street.

Granddaughter had head on accident which was not her fault due to other car pulling out in front of her..she was hurt and in pain took her to hospital..worst part was that my air bag did not deploy at all. Where is my recall letter. That could have been me and at 72years old I could have been hurt worse.I have two Nissan. Do the seat belts work on my rough Nissan 2013.the 2011 Sentra that was in accident didn't now I am worried about the rough will my air bags deploy.love my Nissan but I am scared the same could happen to me if I get into an accident. My granddaughter is very precious to me.resolve this problem or I will never buy an other Nissan.
