I had a minor fender bender about 5 days ago and my airbags deployed, causing serious burns to my hands and wrists and minor facial burns.i would have been unhurt had the airbags not deployed.i rear-ended another car due to sun glare.i had no idea airbags caused such injury and i have never received a recall notice or any other warning about this.the airbags also broke my steering wheel and my windshield.otherwise the car suffered relatively minimal damage.
I got off work and got in my car. When i started it the airbag light came on and started blinking. I let it slide for a long time after contacting nissan because of how expensive the part was. Now im trying to sell the car and i had to fix it. Cost 623 dollars altogether. Started looking into and found out there has been a lot of airbag problems with the 200sx, some even with injuries. I think nissan atleast owes us an explanation of why this is happening, maybe even a recall to be made.

High priced repairs-i've only had the car for 2 yrs and i believe i'm the second owner.i bought it used.its a 1995 nissan 200 sx se-r with 108k miles and i've had more problems with it than i bargained for.every month it's something new with the car.i'm running out of patience and money getting the car fixed and financially i can't afford another car right now not to mention the repairs on this one.total i've probably spent well over $2000 in the two years that i've had it.most recently, i'm having to replace the clutch and both cv joints, the transmission seal,my passenger side door latch (that all of a sudden decides to work on its own) and my speed sensor.i'm finding myself putting more money into this car than i can afford.two years ago i had to replace the front breaks and the left rotor.last year i replaced the alternator, starter, battery, one o2 sensor (i have two), the catyllitic converter and the linkage with my wipers (thank goodness that was a recall and the money didn't come out of my pocket).i will never buy another nissan again!!i'm spending way too much money just to keep it on the road.i've got new problems monthly and there is nothing i can do about it.this model was only out a few years and discontinued.it's hard finding parts for my car because it has certain parts that are slightly different from the other models, therefore making me spend more money.if i knew that this was a "special/project" car, then i wouldn't have bought it.i'm running out of money to fix this car and i want consumer affairs to know that i'm fed up with nissan and i honestly feel like i should have some kind of compensation for all this.its just ridiculous.
Engine check light comes on every six months. Consumer has takenvehicle todealer every time.dealer could not correct the problem.please provide any further information.
In early april of 1997 the gas pedal began slipping toward the clutch upon pressing it to accelerate. About a week after the orignal incident, the support bracket which is welded to the firewall to support the pedal and also act as a pressure point for the trottle linkage broke. The piece i am refering to contains a spring unit for the pedal. It seems that the pressure of the pedal wore the bracket, made of apparently aluminum, into at the folds which provide the piece a place to be spot welded to the firewall.
