| Description of the problem | My husband was driving his 2006 nissan frontier and was about to merge onto the highway when the car in front of him threw on his brakes. He was only driving at less than 10 mph and tapped the car in front of him. The driver's front airbag deployed smacking him in the face. No one could ever explain why it would deploy with such a light impact. Fyi passenger side front air bag did not deploy! |
