2012 Nissan FRONTIER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Side curtain airbags deployed for no reason while driving 5-10 mph on flat road. Almost knocked me out and left me confused for awhile, and caused my ears to ring all day. Nissan north america sent some sort of rep to local dealer to download data from the truck to determine what happened. They then told me that "the conditions were not met" for airbags to have deployed. They replaced the airbag system and returned it to its original condition at no cost to myself. Other than that they declined multiple times to help me in anyway to get into another nissan vehicle, i was willing to stay with nissan if they would have worked with me and bought it back and/or got me into a newer frontier. I was willing to do this because apparently the 2011 and 2012 model frontiers are the only ones experiencing this defect, as a result of their rollover anticipation software which fires the curtain airbags when it "thinks" that a rollover is eminent. This has happened to other owners of the same model and year frontier with one incident resulting in physical and psychological problems for the children that were in the frontier. There is a class action lawsuit against nissan of north america for this issue that was started by one of the victims to this negligence. Apparently nissan knows of the problem and has done nothing about it at all. They also apparently refused to repair some of the airbags in some of these incidents in the lawsuit. Not happy with nissan allowing this vehicle to stay on the road since it allows for a dangerous possibility for this to happen on a busy road with others around, and for the occupants of the frontier mentioned. Not happy and will probably have to get legal counsel to help me. *dsy - see 10896442.
