I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA AND INVOLVED IN A CRASH. ANOTHER DRIVER TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT HER GOING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HIT HER FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. AT 45MPH THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I NOW HAVE NECK INJURIES. THERE WAS A LITTLE OVER $2,200 DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE FRONT LEFT TIRE BEING PUSHED ALMOST ALL THE WAY INTO THE WHEEL WELL. I JUST SAW A SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER NISSAN'S FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS AND AM WONDERING IF THE SENTRA'S SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. THANK-YOU.

MY WIFE SKIDDED OFF A FRESHLY GRAVELED ROAD AND NOSE-DIVED INTO A DITCH FRONTEND FIRST, CATAPULTED THE VEHICLE INTO A C/CLOCKWISE SPIN AND WRAPPED THE VEHICLE AROUND A TREE. THE ORIGINAL IMPACT WAS FRONT END AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED HITTING THE TREE WITH WHAT WOULD APPEAR AS A SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ON INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THE AIR BAG WAS TORN OUT OF THE CENTER WALL (NO PROPELLANT SMELL OR RESIDUE). HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INJURIES THAT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE REQUIRED MED-A-VAC. JPC/SC .
