Rainy night 55 mph crash. Air bags did not deploy. Wet road, car ran off road, hit a sign post, went down embankment, flipped and rolled over into ditch. Daughter was seriously injured... 4 broken lower back vertebrae, 9 broken ribs, numerous pelvic fractures, lacerated spleen and kidney. Seems like these injuries could have been much less severe if the airbags would have deployed.*dt *dt*jb

I am having issues with the transmission. It appears that the engine is not changing gears automatically. Or it could be a problem with the fuel injection of the vehicle. Also there is a problem with the airbags deployment system.

I bought this car with 56,000 now it has 96,000, it has cvt transmission, the step motor is no longer useful; after having run only 40,000 miles is not fair !!!! I know many people who have had the same problem with this type of car, the factory should fix it at no cost to the consumer, i still owe the bank .. $ 7,000 and the repair costs me $ 4,000. You think it's fair to pay so much money, when i'm sure this is a…

I was dropping off my passenger, i was in drive and had my foot on the brake, so the car was not moving, and he closed the door, maybe slammed a little as he was in a hurry to get out of the car, and then the air bags on the roof of the passenger side deployed, along with the air bags to the passenger seat. I was in shock since i know i've slammed my car door before and that has never happened. Luckily nobody was…

On august 25, 2014 while i did escape with my life and my whole body intact, after a witness was on scene she said she her a loud pop, well that loud pop was my front left (immediate driver's side tire) and i ended up in a brick wall. Not pleased with bridgestone, as my vehicle only had no more than 8000 miles on it, but very pleased with the vehicle and it's features. *tr

The airbags did not deploy when my husband wrecked the 2012 nissan sentra 6-24-13. My husband swerved to miss a deer that was in the road, hit a culvert, got air born, took out a reflector sign, and crashed into the ground. The car had +$7,000 worth of damages and the airbag did not deploy. I think there is a manufacturing issue. It got air born and hit a culvert. I think an airbag should have deployed. *tr

I have a 2012 nissan sentra and the curtain air bags and seat air bags deployed when the driver's door of the vehicle was slammed. The car was not in motion but the key was in the ignition. Took it to a dealer and was told that they do not think this would be covered by warranty to contact my insurance company. The vehicle was involved in a rear accident 3 months prior but no air bags deployed only the trunk was…

Vehicle was pulling out of a driveway at night, just beginning to accelerate, and struck a trailer that was not clearly noticeable (did not have clear reflectors). At 5 mph, the hood was crunched like an accordion, the airbags deployed, and the car is considered totaled. What would the consequences have been if striking something at 30, 40, or 50 mph? *tr
