| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan frontier crew cab, long bed (6') and the air bags (both driver & passenger) did not deploy. The entire front end of the truck suffered damage. The damage is significant enough that the hood folded upwards. My daughter hit an impala without side impact air bags on the driver's side door hard enough to snap the impala's front axle. This severe of an accident should have caused the air bags to deploy but, they didn't. I just saw this has occurred with others and it appears to be a fairly common problem as i found multiple websites speaking about this failure to deploy. |
