Show complaint excerpts

Involved in a frontal crash where somebody made a left hand turn in front of me. I was going 40 straight on the road. Slammed on my breaks but still hit the turning car. The whole front crumped so the car was totaled but the air bags didn't deploy.

NHTSA ODI report, 2018-07-16

I was on my way home from work when a deer jumped in front of me. I tried to avoid it. I crashed my car into the guard rail crushing the whole front end. (I have pictures) the airbags never deployed. I went to the hospital.

NHTSA ODI report, 2015-02-22

Takata recall...have not received any other info other than 'match found', along with the statement that it should be fixed as soon as possible. Should I take it to a Nissan dealer; or wait to hear something from someone?
