2009 Nissan sentra frontal impact 40mph with no airbag deployment. *tr
The air bag warning light pop on when I was stopping for red light. The car has not been in a crash ,fire , or flood. The air bag module must be a manufacturer problem, this is not no routine maintenance problem. There are other Nissan models with same problem. Please don't let manufacturers get away with this, it is putting me and my passengers in very high danger. This is a item only manufacturers have easy access to.I payed alot of money for vehicle, please add my vehicle for recall , there's no where else to turn to. Thank for your help and consideration.

The airbag exploded on driver's side, knocked be unconscious for a few minutes, when I came too the car was out of control. I hit a iron pole in front of wal-green's. The vehicle was in motion at the time.the car was totaled by the insurance company, in which they picked up the car and took it away.
While crossing the street from one parking lot to another the steering wheel locked up on my 09 Nissan sentra. Was going less that 5mph. The steering wheel could not be turned at all. The engine was still running and was in drive. After about 30 or 40 seconds attempting to turn steering wheel either way it finally went back to normal . Drove car about 50 miles back home with no further problems.. Took car to dealer the next day and after looking at it most of the day the said they could not duplicate the problem. I am afraid to drive this car any distance or speed. *tr
My car swerves too much on the freeway. Since purchasing the car in 2009, I have been having issues with the car. Even after taking it to several dealerships, I am still scared I am going to die due to the car. The several dealerships I am taken the car to have claimed there is no problem even though thousands of other people have experienced it too. *tr

Purchased brand new starter, alternator and battery to no avail another recall says mass airflow sensor and fuel pump.
At first the rear doors started not to unlock, now all the doors except for the drivers will not unlock with the power locks. You must manually flip each lock to open the doors. *tr
engine 2 complaints shown
While driving to work on the beltway about 1 mile prior to the exit, the engine shut off along with any electrical equipment. Was able to pull to the side and get towed to a dealer (not Nissan) where they diagnosed a "blown engine". Had transferred the car to a Nissan dealer for warranty disposition and diagnosis. Have been waiting over 1 month for an answer. We have tried contacting Nissan corporate and regional personnel and seem to be getting the run around. *tr
I'm currently financing a car. My oil runs out too fast. In one month I probably used 1000 miles max and I've already had to get a oil change 3 times. I'm afraid my engine is either going to lock up or blow up and as a young driver I'm very scared of my safety especially when driving on the parkways. *tr
suspension 1 complaint shown
Was towed in and the lf ball joint is rusted and fell apart. The stud and nut are still attached to the knuckle and the ball pulled out of the socket. This allowed the suspension of drop that corner of the car down and pull the cv axle out of the transmission. Just pulling out from home.

Driver side door locks do not work with car remote. Battery was changed in remotes and still does not work. Key to override door locks does not work. After hitting the open lock button on key remote for 5 min non stop it finally opened all doors. Extreme safety hazard. I refuse to lock car anymore until I can get to dealer to repair the locks and remote lock sensors. *tr
