Description of the problem	Side curtain airbags wrongfully deployed while driving at about 5-10 mph, with no crash, and on a flat road. Creating an extremely dangerous situation for myself and others on the road around me. This truck has faulty programming that controls these airbags. They state that, instead of the airbags deploying in a crash, they are programmed to "anticipate" a crash and then deploy. Nissan north america sent an engineer to the dealership to download data from the truck to find out exactly what happened, and i only received limited data upon my request. They sent me a few pages of "high frequency data" charted in columns with the first page containing "frontal delta-v" and "lateral delta-v", the second page with "frontal g" and "lateral g", and the third page with "vehicle speed" and "engine revolution". *dsy - see 10898639.
