My car was stationary and the fault that many nissan sentra have with the passenger airbag comes out. I would like to be checked. There are many cars with this same problem that comes from the factory.

I was involved in a wreck going over 10 miles per hour on the freeway and my air bags did not come out and i feel that is unsafe, though they claimed they fixed the recall at nissan. I feel as though this car is a danger to my life and others as well. I was in california on the 10 freeway as my boyfriend was driving. *dt*jb

Airbag warning lights up repeatedly - system reset three times at dealer, and parts replaced. It is in shop for fifth time in a year! Car is still under warranty - thinking about trading it in before the warranty expires.

Dealer won't do anything to fix the problem. Tells me the car is safe. I don't feel it is safe and now…
