Nissan Rogue Air Bags Safety Report | Feb 28, 2014
Reported on Feb 28, 2014
| THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE I WAS DRIVING WAS STRUCK A GLANCING BLOW STARTING FROM THE CENTER FRONT THROUGH THE DRIVER'S FRONT LEFT QUARTER PANEL AND DOOR. THE FRONTAL IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THE FRONT SUPPORT EXTRUDED STEEL BRACE IN THREE PLACES AND DECIMATE THE GRILL, LIGHT, BUMPER, QUARTER PANEL AND DOOR SKIN. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT. ONE THE SIDE IMPACT AND SEAT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL; HOWEVER THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID DEPLOY SLOWLY AFTER THE IMPACT. IT DID NOT COMPLETELY DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT WHILE THE SEAT BELT PREVENTED ME FROM GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, THE MECHANISM IN THE SEATBELT IS ALSO DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK ME HAD THEIR AIR BAGS TO FULLY DEPLOY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011 - 2012 MODELS. THANK YOU. | |
