| Description of the problem | Ir bag deployed but not inflate my wife, my two children 3 and 7 and i were on i 65 n freeway. At around 530am on wednesday, january 20, 2016 while driving our 2015 nissan murano on icy road in nashville, tn area, a suv/truck lost control on the 3rd lane (we were on the fast lane) and came in front of us. My wife was going 50 mph, on icy roads, the roads were terribly bad. The collision was pretty horrific, causing the deployment of all the front air bags and significant front end damage. My serious concern is: the air bag on the passenger side (where i was sitting) deploy but did not inflate, smoke was coming out with a bad odor. I believe this is a major concern, this could have been fatal. Please advise what options do i have at this time. |
