Description of the problem | I was driving and hit a curb with the 2 passenger side wheels simultaneously as i was coming out of a turn. Only going 15-20 mph. The tires didn't even pop but all 3 side curtain airbags deployed. The vehicle didn't roll either. The car was completely driveable other than the airbag problem. Nissan claims the airbags acted properly after they reviewed the data recorder but to me this is a serious safety concern. Nissan reimbursed me for my $1,000 insurance deductible which tells me they agree something was wrong even though they deny it. |
