Description of the problem	My 3 girls and 1 of their friends were in my vehicle and they were ran off the road and the car went off the road into an embankment. The driver side air bag did not deploy but the passenger side air bag did and it broke my daughter's nose. I contact nissan about the airbag not deploying and was told it all depends on where most of the damage of the car is (all of the damage was on the driver front side). Everyone was taking to the er and the daughter with the worst injury was referred to a specialist because of the impact and because the airbag shattered the inside of her nose into pieces it was nothing to do to repair. My daughter plays basketball and i couldn't even get a nose brace for protection. This was a terrible experience for the girls and i wish no parent will ever have to experience anything like this. I saw the story on the cbs evening news (aired 10/2/14) where the long lady is suing honda because of that what airbag did to her). Airbags appears to do more harm than good. Although my car was a total lost, i am thankful that the girls are still alive.
