| Description of the problem | 5/10/08-just had a front end collision in our 2004 nissan quest minivan carrying myself, husband & 3 children-one in a carseat. Driver in other vehicle failed to yield to my right of way and impact was made by my van to the side of her car with me going approx. 35mph and she was going about the same. My body came forward even with the seatbelt buckled, my sons chests are bruised from the seatbelts and none... None... Of the airbags in that van deployed!!! We bought the van for safety reasons! We purchased it because of the side curtain airbags & not even the front airbags deployed! I want this looked into and i want some answers as to why they didn't deploy. Were there even airbags in the van? Obviously we haven't seen the damage in daylight hours, but at those speeds and since we hit head on at the very least the airbags in front should have deployed. Thank you. |
