| Description of the problem | Got into accident with my 2006 nissan xterra off road. Was driving at 8:05 pm at 30 mph down ponce de leon passing 207 in st. Augustine florida. A 2016 nissan pathfinder was stopped while traffic was moving i tried to avoid the nissan, no time to brake, it clipped the backside of the pathfinder with my xterra. My driver side and passenger airbag went off. (exploded?) it broke my passengers arm and unknown object in passengers eye. Airbags blown out destroyed my dash air bag is ripped like it had a baby. Both my passenger and driver side seat belts both released the seat belts they didn't lock during the accident usually they lock and won't release my driver side is not locking in place as the passenger. Days after the accident my passenger had her (2003 nissan sentra)recalled for the takata recall , inspected was positive for the recall and replaced it was describing the situation for this accident i was told by a lawyer to report this to nhtsa. Suspected takata airbags. I pulled the vin no recall i bought this truck maybe a month prior. I'm completely unknown of this situation. Insurance company wanted to total the xterra i took it home i still have the vehicle inside with airbags both insurance companies are progressive the driver v02 had no license the officer was too busy to proceed with the investigation of how the accident happened. The damages was not bad to break a bone with an airbag at the speed and impact this car accident had. |
