Nissan airbag problems

Owners have filed 7,589 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Nissan vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 41 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Nissan Altima, worst in 2013.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
