| Description of the problem | Was driving down a washboard part of a dirt road in route to 4wheel like i normally do and the 2006 frontier nismo curtain airbags deployed for no reason other then the system believed it was rolling over. This was out in the middle of nowhere away from cell coverage so no police report could be made. I have noticed many threads of xterras and frontiers online that have been getting this problem including a youtube video of an xterras deploying. Nothing has been done yet the vehicle is sitting in front of my house as i decide weather there is a buildable case against nissan or to give up and try for repairs somewhere, the insurance estimate is ~4,000$ usd. Both side curtain airbags, seat damage, seatbelts broken. |
