Description of the problem | I was backing from a parking space when i struck a passing car with the boat hitch on my rear bumper. It was a low-impact collision as we were both moving slowly in a parking lot. After getting out of the car to speak with the other driver, i returned to find that all of the air bags on the passenger side of my car (including front passenger seat and curtains from the front window to the rear) had deployed. No one was in the car at the time of impact but me. None of the air bags on the drivers side of the car deployed. I know nissan has had passenger air bag problems in the past and before the accident, mine often showed that air bags were on when no one was in the passenger seat. Your database says there are no recalls on my vin number so i assume that previous owners had the matter addressed before i bought the car from a nissan dealership in 2018. My circumstance isn't identical to the air bag recall but is certainly ironic. Although i wasn't hurt, the air bags surely didn't help me. The wrong ones deployed and will cost $6,500 to replace. Can you do anything to help me? |
